Yay!!!

i'm working on my sainthood

congrats!!!

You gave em two weeks that's so nice of you.

I'm so sorry :S if it's feasible, I think taking a break would be a good idea. It doesn't sound like it's a healthy place for you to be.

Good job you

Sometimes it's time to be done.

Come to think of it, I hope we don't get any research on being trans until we've figured out human rights and basic decency

I'd love to know the genetic and environmental factors that made me trans but I know as soon as they are discovered the knowledge will be used for a kind of biological conversion therapy.

Car things are pretty scary and even "minor" events are pretty traumatizing once experienced :( I hope the noodle soup was warm and helped to bring some distance between you and the collision.

that sucks. i hope ur chicken noodle soup making is chill and it comes out just right

i got rear ended just over a year ago and now basically every time i brake i think about the car behind me hitting me. it's messed up

at the end of the day it's just a car though. the main thing is that nobody got hurt

hehe no problem!

i love this tbh? thanks for the new coping mechanism

I try to have hope in a future where people are generally right about things and value compassion and humanity above all else. Even if the prevailing gender theory doesn't match the one we share, I think at least people of the future will think, "Wow, people were horrible."

Every once in a while, I'll imagine thousands of people from the future sending reassurance and encouragement back through time to people in the present. Things like, "It sucks to be ahead of your time, but please don't give up; our future won't be possible if you don't keep fighting the good fight. We love you and appreciate everything you do!" It's not much, but it helps a bit.

i had to spend an hour and a half this morning finding a doctor in this region that i have to cross my fingers won't be transphobic at me

Thank you for this well-reasoned rant, I've never used such a stovetop and still felt your annoyance. The poster's solidarity

I use a “duxtop” brand single burner induction cooktop and it uses button controls, not touch. I’m pretty fond of it actually.

could be. it was a hot plate with a single induction element. there are some kitchen supply stores in my area that also sell to regular consumers, so it may not necessarily be unobtainable to the average jane.

sounds like industrial equipment? chances are they wouldn't sell that to consumers anyway.

I wish I knew the brand of induction stove we used at my old kitchen job, it didn't have any issues with the controls.

thank you for warning us of the tragedy of the induction stovetop

You deserve to have the meltdown of an olympic god
