poo poo like this is why I see my only option is to remain depressed and continue presenting male. There's literally no help, and I'm not sure I'd have the strength to have the daily fight other trans-women have over,


Solidarity and sympathies, it sucks, it really sucks. I don't know your situation but I will say I bet you are stronger than you think you are. I mean I can only speak for myself but relieving dysphoria made the rest of this mad poo poo, well... not easy but at least more bearable and not transitioning would have been staying in a burning building to keep out of the cold but that's something I only saw clearly afterwards. Please try to find people you can talk to, even if it's just other trans people online.

On the other hand his transphobia is keeping his Islamophobia in check so there's that (+1 for thread ban)

Reckon that's how it's going to go, more and more though. The next pandemic, climate change... these are the things that are going to take us down, we won't get to live out our last days dying comfortably of old age with a loved one in a cottage in the woods. Its not how it should be, but I feel like it's hopeless. No point saving for the future if you can't save the future.

So should we all just do ourselves in? If not why post this poo poo?

I see a lot of this type of posting but is it for anything other than trying to pass your misery on to others like trying to get rid of a curse?

If you're not planning to go down kicking and screaming you're the reason the left got utterly wrecked. Everyone loves the face to bloodshed meme but no one wants to live it. Endure, cowards.

I'm enduring but like not fretting about not having a loving ISA

Those results are funny but it being open ended and Attenborough being so high means it's more of a 'Name a person you wouldn't mind seeing on TV a bit more' question rather than any deeper meaning.

Every time I read someone's vaccine side effects I'm thinking about how they compare to mine and then how those compared to my actual covid symptoms. (And then how *those* compared to other people's). I know it probably doesn't work like this but I can't help feel relieved when I see someone who had worse vaccine side effects than me because that feels to me like if they had got Covid it would have been one of those really bad cases? And it's a relief to think they've been saved that. A kind of benevolent shadenfreude, I guess, it's not good anyone's suffering, but at least that means they're safer now and hopefully the side effects are a sign of the kind of bullet they've dodged by doing the right thing.

Oh that's really good news, that was an absolute crime what they did and it looked like they were trying to run out the clock on rebuilding for years.

Is this just an inevitability of capitalism, or something particular to the UK? Cos its not like any European town doesn't have its share of chains but they'll have their own industry and small traders, and the villages will be actual communities rather than hollowed-out satellites for the rich. I'm trying to understand what they did that we didn't or if they're just going to go this way too, give it another decade

For Christ sake your enemy is not Keir Starmer but those that are in power now.

Get behind him rather than repeatedly criticise him and you might be surprised.

"Keir Starmer: because it's not his fault you're gullible idiots" is a powerful campaign slogan, NGL.

Not directly relevant, but it reminded me of this I saw yesterday.


Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Piers Morgan a miserable oval office who just shits on everyone else instead of achieving any personal progress and in the process becomes more embittered. The anti-Camus.

At every stage of his life the descent of Piers Morgan has been like watching someone scrape through the bottom of barrels of human dignity, as he's gone from hover-handing celebrity "pals", to popularising fabricated war crimes, to becoming a fountain of gleefully ignorant bile, all while slowly morphing physically into the dark universe Keith Chegwin.
