I retired my 2003 VW last year after 15 years of service (F fallen comrade) but it couldn't do 20mph in 3rd, only in 2nd.

It isn't about style. Women's sizes (e.g. 8, 10, 12) originally came from codes based on the variations between hip, waist and bust measurements.

Generally, women are going to have boobs and wider hips and men generally have bigger feet. Obviously there's a massive spectrum of human body shapes, but this is the main differentiation.

If I wear my (male) partner's t-shirts, they're just straight with no space for boobs and they don't come in at the waist. Same with trousers, there's a massive pouch in the crotch, too narrow on my hips and too loose at the waist. People like to wear things that best fit their bodies.

Thanks, I'm not from the US so have only seen little snippets.

Yeah I used to have one, I only replaced it when the battery started going. I loved that phone, it was solid yet so light! I have a 6a now which is great but so much heavier than the 4a.

Yeah they're not doing it for 4a, Google might offer you a voucher to replace your phone.

Exciting! Where are you going?

Yeah but you could also end up with 300,000 crushed people if you treat a crowd like this.

People need to be sharing info here and through other channels. Pictures, videos, links to organised groups.

Yeah you shouldn't have to, none of us should have to face prejudice. But talking to someone could help you learn how to deal with difficult situations, or manage your emotional reaction when something bad happens (I'm not trying to invalidate how you feel, feeling rage is justified, but finding more productive outlets for anger can be really helpful, I've found this for myself personally), or they can just be someone you can vent all these thoughts to about wanting to burn them all to the ground. They could also help you consider other practical/logistical solutions to problems you're facing.

Well that's a really good starting place :) If you did want to try therapy, being able to go in saying "I have these issues and I need to learn how to cope them" then you've got something to work on.

It would be helpful to find a therapist who is a specialist in trans issues, and hopefully they can help you work through what you're struggling with. They can help you reflect on why you feel a certain way, or why certain things make you feel uncomfortable or how to cope with everyday things you have to face from other people. Sorry if I'm making any assumptions about what you need, but hopefully you get the gist of what I'm saying.

 

Like, when you can hear something in your mind? Is there a word for this?

My parents have always been left-wing hippies and entertained the odd conspiracy theory, but during the pandemic they got lost down YouTube rabbit holes and bought into Q-Anon and anti-vax ideas. They still don't believe Covid is real (even though they blatantly had it...).

We've just kind of agreed not to talk about it anymore, but they've steadily become more and more batshit and I think they believe I have been brainwashed.

Anyone else's familial relationships changed forever?
