taiwan legalized same-sex marriage, becoming the first place in asia to do so :toot:

they had a symbolic three-couple marriage featuring a straight, gay and lesbian couple, and I really like this picture:



the straight couple is engaged in a sorta weirdly possessive grabbing kiss, lesbians are holding hands all sweet, and the gay guys go right for the rear end gropes :allears:

back when he was running for the chair of the dnc position he was the only major person running who bothered to go to the women's march, the two more popular candidates instead went to a fundraising meeting that day, so i was really hoping he'd be cool :sigh:

I don’t trust former McKinsey consultants. I don’t trust military intelligence officers.

I don’t trust people who get flattering reams of newspaper profiles and are pitched as the Next Big Thing That You Must Pay Attention To, and I don’t trust wunderkinds who become successful too early.

From the half dozen pieces I’ve read he sounds decent until you actually look at his positions and it turns out he’s about as bad as a gay dude could be. but full disclosure I’m also a loving commie.

Just feel utterly depressed. I got this degree for nothing, all I could get after months of searching is something that makes me 12.50 an hour. I'll never get any of the procedures I want, not even loving laser, on the budget I have. Every stupid loving friend I have always chants, "you don't need it, you should make yourself happy :), stop looking for external validation" but that poo poo is so loving dumb and reeks of stupid stoic mindset. Yeah, let me just imagine away how loving lovely i feel to look at myself every day.

Christ, do I feel you on this. I can barely afford razors, much less lasers, and sometimes I despair of ever getting back even close to where I was. But, then again, I never thought I would ever be here, as close to being happy with myself as I've ever been so who knows?

I guess try to focus on the positives?

"you're beautiful as you are" "you shouldn't care about what society thinks" "you don't need surgery to be happy" is the dysphoria equivalent of telling a depressed person that they should "just try to stop feeling sad" - technically true but absolutely unhelpful and dismissive. it's true that society shouldn't have a say over how anyone looks but if it were as easy as a mindset change nobody would have issues with their body.

yes this. telling you to adjust your mindset is just the polite way of saying terf bs about how we should be destroying gender not changing it.

do what you need to be happy and if you find barriers to that post about it here and maybe we can help you find charity programs or other resources in your area to help.
