    How did you figure out that this is the battle you want to fight?

    It’s not a battle I would choose to fight, but I don’t have any other choice. I know who I am, and I’m going to live as who I am, and I’m not going to let anyone stop me. I grew up in a very repressive environment, where I was taught to accept that I had to be who others (especially authority figures) expected me to be. And through a lot of therapy, I discovered that that was the root of a lot of my personal torment. It isn’t always easy, day to day, but I’m going to keep pushing every day to love and celebrate the person that I am, because I can’t stand to live any other way.

    Use an app or some other web blocker to stop yourself from loading the site. And when you have the addiction itch and get blocked, try to remember that you’re blocking it for a reason, and you don’t actually want to go there. It’ll take a while for your brain to adjust, but after a few days or weeks, you won’t even try to go there any more. YMMV, but that worked for me.







  • I don’t know, the idea of initiating conversations with conservatives about whether they think I deserve rights or not (when they probably don’t think I do), does not sound like a good time, nor do I expect it to be particularly fruitful.

    I don’t know how we get out of this, but I don’t think putting myself in hostile situations and arguing is going to be effective, you know? I think conservatives will only turn on Trump when they are personally negatively impacted by his actions. Appealing to their empathy and logic isn’t going to work, because they didn’t logic themselves into supporting him and they think empathy is woke bullshit.
