I’m happy for you. I was born in a red state that doesn’t allow changing info on a birth certificate. I only lived there for 10 months as an infant, and in a blue state the rest of my life. So it will never be changed, the M will stare back at me and out me to the upcoming government if I ever need to use it.

I’m rushing to get my name legally changed so my updated passport can be correct. My current one has 5 more years, but so it’s all my amab info. I’m terrified of how little time is left.

Maybe you’ll survive, bunch of people will survive, but not a lot of the minorities the Republicans currently have in their crosshairs. Maybe you’ll find all the skeletons in the camps after however many years or decades it will take to defeat fascism.

I’m so sorry. But on the one hand, if you haven’t started anything yet, that’ll be less of a paper trail for you. I’ve been on hrt for a year, and I can only imagine they’ll try and ban the drugs entirely. I haven’t changed my name, but I have changed my gender marker. You’re losing time, time you’ll sadly never get back, but in my case, I will lose time, my meds, all the progress I’ve made. I… don’t know how to deal with this.

We sure do… I’ve been on hrt for over a year now, at least, so there’s that.

Me too. Although I’m not out yet. I’m thinking I’ll need to scramble, now, to put in my name/passport changes before I potentially lose the chance. Of course, I don’t pass, don’t have the wardrobe, makeup or body to pass. I wanted to wait a little longer before coming out, lose weight, fix my shit, you know. Don’t have the money to do anything, change anything how I want.

I feel ill. I wish I could go back to sleep, but I’m too wound up on fear and trepidation.

An abusive partner accusing the other of cheating is very often a projection of the fact they themselves had been cheating. Since they know they would cheat, and were/are, they either assume the other person is the same way, or simply don’t want to draw attention to their affair. It’s an awful thing.

CDPR had originally announced a multiplayer mode, and then canned it after the launch disaster. Apparently there’s a mod being made to put it back in, though, that’s neat.

Because the people with that holier than thou attitude believe that if they just convince enough people, their socialist/progressive third party that gets one vote every election will definitely overtake both Dems and Republicans in a total landslide, and will immediately stop the genocide in Palestine and the war in Ukraine once they’re in. Or they’re a tankie accelerationist and want trump to win because they think it will lead to a revolution and their perfect political utopia will be in place in mere weeks. They’d just rather die of old age, suffering in a corrupt and polluted fascist hell decades after all their friends were culled, than ever admit that they are wrong or ever accept they will never live to see their desired future.

Edit: I realize I sound super rude and aggressive in the last sentence, sorry. I say they’ll never live to see it because something like eliminating capitalism is an extreme long term goal. It can’t happen overnight, or in a single geneation. It’s too deeply engrained in the entire operation of the world as it stands. It has to be pruned back until it can be removed. It’s like that one phrase, something like men plant trees in whose shade they’ll never sit, or something like that. I don’t think I’ll live to see it either, but I would love to. I’d definitely prefer a socialist society, capitalism has been the cause of all my life’s traumas. But you just can’t get the world to change that fast.
