you could use something like TopHat I guess? it’s like ~<$30 for a student for 1 class and handles attendance sign ins through an app, clicker style multiple choice questions in class, homework submissions, grading etc. it’s...not great, but better than previous alternatives and is much cheaper than a standard text or something assuming the class doesn’t need one. not sure if appropriate for that sort of class

it means a lot of things to a lot of people right? it could be an encapsulating term for all lgtb+ people. or specifically referring to sexuality, or gender, or both. I haven’t heard it used in a pejorative sense for a long time, but of course tone and context are important otherwise

CommunistPancake posted:signs that i might be trans are becoming hard to ignore. what do i do now. all mentioned, but also don't concern yourself with regret, either over lost time or the possibility of future regret. a study I read had something like, only ~1% of people who transitioned thought it was the wrong decision. you're not wrong about what you feel, cis people generally don't feel poo poo like dysphoria or question so much. seek out professionals and people in the community to talk to

Prosthetic_Mind posted:Brought that up, apparently there isn't much for groupon in New Brunswick, and other than that it sounds like more of just a money and time kind of thing. Thanks to everyone for your help. hot tip, get the gently caress out of New Brunswick, you can probably find something elsewhere. prolly better options in Halifax and Montreal is a days drive away. I apologize if you have looked

I assume you have a car if you live there. I know NB is not the most queer friendly place either. I understand that it’s a time issue but the potential cost savings might still be worth it

bi visibility and erasure are real problems. I see how it might feel weird if you’re cis and have otherwise been in hetero relationships so far, but your identity is still valid! one thing that irks me tho is people intentionally co-opting queer status to be a minority with no downsides, who otherwise have nothing to do with the community. this isn’t you though. and i shouldn’t concern myself with them as gaytekeeping is lovely...their identities are also valid, if that’s how they feel inside, and they never need to act on it for it to be true

Venuz Patrol posted:i don't think your concern is founded here. the implied and accepted meaning of bisexual already matches what people are trying to define pansexual as. i don't care either way which word people use to describe themselves, but i do have a problem with people who, as you're doing here, try to use their identity to make snide implications about people who identify as bi. most cis people won’t date trans or gender non-conforming people. the wording is very clear about intention. their post is in response to a particular, singular post, not implications about bi people as a whole or what that word means to them

oh for sure, 100%. it helped to learn that some of those branded groups are created by real people who organize for their collective benefit under their employer, though this is not always the case. pride is complicated and ymwv depending on your locality. check out the other events / parties and poo poo going on adjacent to pride proper, stuff more organized by and for the community

nooooo god that sucks. there are probably cool things going on, but it depends where you are. the underground party scene / after hours is historically queer as gently caress, but even aside from that there’s probably something not-pride going on that’s alright

SenatorIvy posted:Yeah these are things that a prior doctor had mentioned in passing to me years ago when I first wondered aloud to him that had me very leery at first and then eventually I just settled in the fear of "well I don't wanna die of blood clots so I guess that's right out" and I've basically ridden the wave of "I'll just dress like a woman, then" ever since. I think negative side effects as listed are what someone has experienced in a trial, and while something like stroke is certainly possible it is difficult to asses the true risk of hormones. I know that there is less risk if you don’t need spiro (orchi or otherwise). it’s a small percentage of this population who have these issues, with modifiers like lifestyle choice, some you can control (smoking, sedentary lifestyle), others not (existing conditions / circumstances). what I mean to say is that the true risk is probably fairly low. it’s possible to trial these medications and stop, as well

most people are all talk and will just hurl abuse from afar, like moving vehicles or bikes, but sometimes on foot. if you’re outnumbered don’t try it, I’ve gotten jumped and it’s more about getting away. still, violence is sometimes the answer but be mindful of the situation, things can escalate terribly

Lain Iwakura posted:yesterday was the trans march. I will always fight back I feel like that too, at the core, but it won’t turn out well for you if you say always, especially if you don’t have self defence training. barring that some people feel safer with self defence weapons, at least to immobilize an attacker so you can get away (pepper spray, taser, etc). as cool smth like switchblades are, they can make your situation worse by escalation, but having something blunt around like a flashlight is not the worst idea. self preserve first, but sometimes it’s necessary to fight

incels interlinked posted:What’s a good way to shut down people who are saying transphobic things? I was in a situation recently with a very ignorant couple of people around me who started going down that road when in the presence of a trans person. Now, she couldn’t hear them at all, and they moved on to another subject without making any offensive comments, but it made me cringe and I’d like to say something more productive than shut the gently caress up should it happen again. you can’t reason with bigots, at best they’ll stop it around you and just keep talking like that among their own kind e. vvv agreed tho

call out pricks, for sure. shame often works, but some have none - in that case be mindful that attention can be double edged. frustrating dealing w/ certain family about this. just telling people to shut up point blank can work, sometimes not

that’s fine? this community is not likely to have much natural discovery at this point on (tho we did get a few new users from that ex-Tesla employee going viral) so as the active user base shrinks word of mouth is probably a good idea. this place self enforces standards too, but they can probably get it if they’re online a lot and observe a bit. just keep in mind it’s a public space and some other boards or even threads might not be so nice necessarily

suppression and drug abuse to cope is a well tread path and it does not usually end well. at best you might crater and get to a point where you have to do something. but before that you’re consigned to some liminal hell, can barely see a day ahead with no hope that things will get any better
