Can I vent a little in your behalf? I'm in a good place now, so it won't sip my energy.

I would put the variation "you're strong" together with the other wannabe advices. They don't help anyone. If you are having a bad day, or specially bad bad day, you need to act accordingly. People should learn how to give your space to be down and not try to yank you out of it the moment you stop pushing.

Something that helped me was stop trying to fit into definitions. A word for an identity is very useful to communicate who you are, but starting by figuring out the small parts might be better in the beginning.

How would you like to express yourself to the world? What would make you happy? What do you reppress? What do you find attractive? How many forms of attraction do you perceive?

Question yourself, even when you think you have already found the answer. We change over time, in the sense we understand ourselves better over time, which means our truth is limited by what we know in the various different periods of our life.

You can try journaling. Write about your doubts and the thoughts that go through your head and you might find some patterns along the way.

What exactly worries you?

Try this thought experiment.

A straight man kisses another straight man in public. Both hate it.

The act itself is not sexual and doesn't represent their orientation. All the discomfort or whatever you may feel after watching it has nothing to do with them, but with you own point of view.

All the rest I could say was already mentioned before here. This is just to reframe the problem.

I had a similar thought that I'm trying to develop. We, as members, should take care of our community too. If you see moderators and admins as individuals with specific responsibilities instead of power, you might realize you can contribute in a different way. Exactly how is what I'm working on right now, but there's the danger that we'll start policing each other in the worst way possible if we start focusing in rules and not in how we behave.

Please do. Don't fell pressure to write elaborate essays if the thought is incomplete. Opening discussions attract others in the same boat.

I felt the same when I applied. It's someone's time. Be honest and direct, they will get it and that's the reason you want to join.

A company causes harm to an employee. First solution: reassign the employee so they can still be useful (to the company) with no further reparations.

Same company decides they employees should be doing more inside their functions, causes harm again to the same employee. Second solution: terminate the employee with no further reparations.

Supreme court: they can walk, hear and see, all other pain or impediments doesn't count.

It's really good and comprehensive. The tragedy is that so many people simply won't read it.

Just an alternative here. You don't have to explain your gender, you just have to explain how you want to be treated.

Leave cats out of quantum mechanics, please. They have suffered enough.

The article is mostly clickbait. It sensationalize a reality we are already used to: fake advertisement. I'm from Brazil by the way.

I just want to talk about a specific point in the article. When they refer to the digital literacy as lacking compared to the wide adoption of technology. Android is the most common system here, more so if you don't have any money. The one that people find surprisingly complex or difficult. Which means nothing because it's social engineering using people with smartphone cameras.
