My wife and I just finished loading the last of our things from our house in pdx into a cargo van. Every other move we’ve been able to afford to have someone else do that. I commented “we’re really bad lesbians, it took us 15 years to u-haul.”
'Put your anxiety on hold' is certainly some advice
You should not be honest to medical professionals who are working against your best interests
If you are a minority, they are often working against your best interests, especially depending on where you live
to clarify, cEddy isn't saying 'magically stop feeling anxious' he is saying 'unfortunately you probably won't be able to concurrently seek treatment for dysphoria and anxiety because your doctors are bastards/the system is fucked, so it's probably best to lie about the anxiety for now'

When I'm in a room with a therapist there's no way they don't know about my anxiety even if I never mention it because talking to therapists makes me anxious.
Literally every doctor or therapist I've seen in the last year has mentioned it within 5 minutes of meeting.
There are liability issues involved with allowing people to give medical advice on the forums, so please be careful and refrain from anything that could look like that in public threads.

Y'all I have this bra that is great and has stars on it and it makes my boobs like "waaaaah" and then s tight-ish shirt and it feels great!
I have had several creepy stares. That feels not great.
Trans people have played an integral role in every civil rights movement to date; from LGBT equality to women’s causes. Attempts to airbrush trans people from conversations regarding equality and human rights, or to exclude them from advancements for LGBT and women’s rights, have happened before. Such efforts may have re-energised, but they are nothing new, and we say as a collective of women: they are not representative of us. We support trans rights.
Outlets and commentators have an ethical responsibility to consider the impact of their reportage, analysis and commentary particularly on the mental health of trans young people. Recently, data from Stonewall Scotland revealed that over half of trans people considered ending their lives last year. Trans people continue to face unlawful discrimination and violence. Routine misinformation and sensationalism is contributing to a cultural climate where this is legitimised. This has to stop.

They all seem higher-functioning than me, they're completely normal people who just happen to be trans. I've continually worried that I lack the mental resources to meet what would be my own goals for transition. I got prescribed Ritalin last week but so far the effects have felt weak, it's probably a matter of dosage.
One person next to me didn't know her boundaries, she was twenty years older older than me and she touched me four or five times. I'm also sure she pulled back my skirt over my thigh and to my butt, I definitely felt her doing it and I don't know what else could've caused it.
Do not judge yourself against the image other people present when they are being social.
They very specifically want to appear "together"and you won't see their "not together"
I know but I have what is in retrospect severe inattentive ADHD (I tick most of the boxes on the life impairment chart). I have to hope things improve. I'm also far enough along the autism spectrum that doctors acknowledge it.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that, Platy. Are you OK?
Mostly, but it sucks that I'm going to have to throw out that skirt now.

Wow I just read the second half of that, Platy. I'm so sorry. That's absolutely reprehensible and a clear crossing of boundaries. Tons of hugs and I hope you never have to deal with that stuff again
Very few people are “together” and are just cobbling their life in such a way that you can’t see the duct-tape keeping it all in place.
I wish I could awesome this more than once.
The most important thing I have learned as an adult is that pretty much everyone is confused, scared, and can feel like an imposter. No matter how perfect they seem from the outside.

Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst who sent archives of secret military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks in 2010, said on Thursday that she had refused to answer questions about her interactions with the antisecrecy organization before a grand jury — and might be sent to jail as soon as Friday.
Just, ya' know, spread the word. Military prison was hell on her, and in her position I'd be absolutely terrified of going to jail.
I'm not going to link directly to her fundraising due to forum policy, but you can follow up on everything via her twitter account

what else could they possibly wring from her? she was in prison for fucking years! y'all know what she fuckin knows already, i'd pretty much goddamn guarantee it, and even if you don't, forcing whistle-blowers to expose their sources and their methods don't sit right with me at all, even divorced from the context of this current case.
She was given immunity for her testimony. There's nothing sketchy about it. She's refusing to answer just to be obstinate. A contempt charge is entirely appropriate.

Let's ease up on the Chelsea Manning stuff because it's 100% for sure going to suck all the oxygen out of the thread. I'm sure it's being discussed in the Mueller thread in D&D.

She was not pardoned, her sentence was commuted. And no, this shouldn't be able to affect that at all.
Yes, she was given immunity for her testimony and then subpoenaed to testify before Muellers grand jury, and she ignored the subpoena.
Don't try to ignore grand jury subpoenas.
always stand up to a corrupt government

Yeah that's not what this is. Going to bat for Wikileaks in 2019 is supporting a corrupt government.

sounds like she didn't ignore that subpoena at all
and made it very clear why she refused to answer any questions in an incredibly sketchy courtroom situation regularly employed by our government
