Yeah people drastically underestimate the gulf between randos and anybody who's had even a little decent training.

Well, Frances Haugen left a while ago. Some people did go.

And, well, the best time to leave Facebook was to never join. The second best time is now.

The girl on the far right of the picture looks interested tho.

In retrospect, probably because I'm on the spectrum and I found computers far easier to deal with than people.

Are you the Flash? Cause you beat me to posting this joke.

Art for catharsis. 👍🏻

Thanks for shortcutting my block decision. 👍🏻

As if having insurance means you get treated...

For my it wasn't about expressing them, it was about feeling them at all. Only the very very strongest ones could even crack through.

Of course there was also the fact that my father threatened to beat me for crying "if I didn't have a reason", so there are obviously confounding factors, but interventions like therapy, meditation, changing my name, presenting female all the time, etc didn't have anywhere near as much effect on my access to emotions as a couple of weeks on HRT.

They were all helpful in different ways (sometimes enormously so), but it felt like there was an impedance mismatch between my conscious mind and the rest of my body, and the HRT fixed it.

A rich white cis gay man backstabbing trans people?

This never happens, I'm shocked!

I'm not only the president, I'm also a customer!

I'm trans and, until I started HRT, had very little access to my emotions. I would desperately want to cry, and just would be unable. Or I would know I was supposed to be having some kind of emotional reaction to something, and just...wouldn't.

Very very soon after getting my hormones straightened out, I discovered that I was having emotions in sympathy with characters on tv or in movies. If I was sad I could actually cry for a bit and process the emotion rather than having to channel it into anger or physicality. It was like living in color instead of black and white, this whole arena of human experience I'd read about but hadn't ever really felt.

I've heard the same from trans guys as well; they didn't ever feel like their emotions made sense until they got on T.

My now-ex reacted to this, first with concern, then with contempt.

Have you ever talked with a woman about her experience working in STEM academia?

45 year old men making gross propositions is not at all unusual. And often those are the people deciding whether you have a professional future.

Wow that guy clearly needs to lay off for a while.

She probably gets treated more respectfully by her OnlyFans viewers than her co-workers in her PhD program.

Will Scarlet was a super twink, you know he got it.

This is unique in my experience. Liking Bundy or a Menendez brother existed but was seen as profoundly weird.

My friends are just like

"would."

"same."

And nobody seems to not understand why.

Dogs served in war at least as much as horses, and are currently doing so in larger numbers.

That's a still from a gay porn movie on the right, isn't it?
