    I’ll be frank here. Being trans in the US atm has my suicidal ideation through the roof and I have no real support network. I called this shit a year ago. I am fucking scared, and I don’t see a way out.

    Lol, I was born left handed and was forced to write right handed in preschool (Baptist… not religious it was just cheap). This was in the mid '90s. Now I’m all mixed up and do some stuff left handed and other stuff right handed.

      … the third grade. If you picked secular/public elementary school in flatlander Canada, you’d’ve been right. Not having a coastline makes people stupid and crazy, I worry

      I can relate. I was playing Rocket League with my Xbox Elite 2 controller at probably Champ 3 level, for years, and it was like second nature. Then I switched to the latest 8bitDo controller and I couldn’t aerial. But I was going all in and retraining my hands and brain and at one point I was like at Plat 2 level with both controllers, because I was midway into rewiring my neural pathways. 💀 But now I’m finally starting to regain ranks after playing exclusively with the new controller for months.

      It’s crazy what the brain is capable of. Truly awesome, in the awest of senses.

    It’s all about religion. Jesus sits on the right hand of God, Satan sits on the left. Left handed children were seen to agents of Satan. Trans is an abomination because God only created Adam and Eve. I’m sure there are passages in the Bible that will eventually be discovered making them ok, much like abortion: the Bible contains instructions on how to induce an abortion. Personally I think the best argument is to tell evangelicals that a miscarriage is an abortion by God. For whatever his unknown reason, he has decided this child should not be born. If abortion is ok with God, it’s ok with me.

    Some people barely got past “peek-a-boo” and they don’t even know why that’s a problem.
