This is literally the sole hope I have for the USSC. It is still ruinous to the nation, but at least means there are places you will be able to go that aren’t utter shitholes.

Much like my racist family members bitching endlessly about Black Panther despite never watching any Marvel movies ever, I guarantee he saw “Get Out” in the top 10 and is livid that a movie with a largely black cast could be popular and well-liked.
Probably all those unsold Cybertrucks
What was that called again?
sTaTeS riGhTs!
I’ve got good news https://shop.bawls.com/original-bawlriety-can-24-pack/
But see, it was the other team, so it’s okay.
Yup. I had a buddy give himself Vitamin A poisoning from eating gummy multivitamins like they were candy.
But then someone might get some benefit from their tax dollars!
Yup, it absolutely crushes them to not only think that someone would actively reject masculinity, but it also can trigger some serious issues questioning their sexuality when they’re attracted to a transwoman. It’s kind of a “Hurt itself in its confusion” moment because their internal crisis could be fixed by just saying “Yeah, I like women and she is a woman” but instead have this deep sense of self-hatred because they’re attracted to “a guy”.
It’s also part of the reason they really don’t give a shit about transmen. It’s understandable they’d want to want to be a man, because of course they would, being a man is awesome! They don’t have to question their sexuality, because even if they’re super masc, they’re still a woman, so they’re definitely not even a little gay.
Link played by Eliot Page and Zelda by Hunter Schafer? Even if it was so bad it made the OG Super Mario Bros. movie look like The Godfather by comparison, I’d still buy a ticket to support them.
Use they, unless you know their pronouns. Unfortunately, a lot of people use “they” because they don’t want to use the correct pronouns and it seems more innocent than just overtly misgendering someone.
It doesn’t accomplish nothing. It chips away at the image of him as a strongman, which is one of the things his supporters care about the most. It’s obviously not going to solve the problem, but those small victories do matter and help keep morale up when things feel otherwise hopeless. The key is to keep pushing and pushing in any and every way possible.
They have this as a demo at DTW airport where you scan your boarding pass, and it displays on the massive main screen entering the terminal “Welcome (Your Name)” with your flight information, but only you can see. I don’t remember the maximum number of people who can use it independently, but It’s insanely cool technology nonetheless. I really hate the reality that it’ll probably only be used for personalized advertising though…
My wife used to hate my i3 but it grew on her because it is a very cute car. They’re also way bigger than you’d think. I’ve had people that are 6’6" in mine with head/legroom to spare.
The number one thing to consider is having a heat pump. I live in SE Michigan with my i3, having owned one without a heat pump and now with, it’s night and day difference. Even when it’s -15F, I only lose about 30% range at most while it was closer to 50% without the heat pump. Preconditioning the battery makes that closer to only a 15% loss.
Right to work baby! At-will employment means “You can leave any time you want, but we can fire you any time we want.”
I can really only answer the first two or three as I was already on my own when I was out/transitioned.
There’s a lot of internalized transphobia that definitely makes this really challenging early on. I had a buddy who’s dad loved to say shit like “I’m a teenage lesbian trapped in a man’s body” and it always felt super icky. I definitely feel that ick waning as I transition, but there are still those “man pretending to be a woman” brainworms that bug me from time to time.
I feel like at least half the trans people I know are on the spectrum, so you’ll fit right in lol.
I can at least give a bit of insight on this one, as I unfortunately hid things, just not from my parents.
Undergarments and women’s cut clothes are really nice and not necessarily noticeable to those around you. It’s subtle, but the difference between a women’s and men’s tee makes a significant difference for how I see myself, but others are unlikely to notice.
Growing your hair out is another possible option and did wonders for my mental health, while simply using the excuse of wanting to try something new or even just being too lazy/busy to get it cut.
Getting my ears pierced was another small thing that’s pretty common with men too nowadays. Even clip-on earrings are an option if you want to go really incognito.
Tinted chapstick and similar “not-makeup” cosmetics are again, subtle, but they are small things that add up without being too overt.
“Feminizing workouts” sound ridiculous, but they can legit give you great hips/butt without hormones. Again, not anything super overt, but I guarantee you’ll notice before anyone else does.
Ayy, samesies. I love my name, and like you said, it’s a very common female name. There’s also a certain sense of power that comes from being un-deadnameable.
I’ll take a bit of iron/aluminum over starving to death.
My bad, kinda had a brain fart on that one
