so yeah i caught me a case of the genders. that's pretty important context for my reaction to all this. my state vocally and undeniably wants me dead, or at least cares enough about MAH TAX DOLLARS that they're willing to vote in politicians who do, which is functionally no different. i can't even claim the right wingers are a vocal minority anymore, 8 million people voted yesterday, something like 60% of the state, and we still lost.

Yeah, we want you alive and happy.

And whose opinions are more important in this world: politicians or a bunch of members of a forum famous for making GBS threads-pants, in a sub-forum where the common theme is that the internal combustion engine was a gift from Jesus?

^^I started hormones on monday so I doubt there's been time for that yet.

yeah the whole "realizing who i am" thing and sorting out the fallout from that has been the main thing that's kept me from really making plans, it started hitting right after i graduated and had a lot more free time to reflect. now i've got my meds, i've got a prescription as precedent, and i've got a literal life-or-death reason to blow this loving joint.

gently caress do I hate that it's happening like this.

I don't care about the opinions of people I don't respect.
Au contraire, I take the view that if an rear end in a top hat hates me, that must mean I am a Real Cool Dude. So the more assholes who dislike me, the happier I am.

Everyone here supports you. We're a bunch of disfunctional assholes but at least none of us are racist bigots. Get the gently caress out of there for your own health and safety.

Pretty much. Imagine if you will, getting really worked up emotionally over the cola wars because that's where we're at with politics. People just need to take a few years off of politics and realize it doesn't impact their life nearly as much as they're told it does.

Maybe that's what every state should strive to do since it means the people there probably have the most open mind to not going to hard one way or the other?

I don't think people should be forced to vote, but I feel you should still go out and spoil your ballot by writing "none of these buggers" across it or something, so it's categorically not just not bothering.

Not all of it, that one measure about property values was disguised, it was really oil companies trying to make it law to allow them to sue the state for lost revenue if we prevent them from sucking every penny out of the ground. It failed.

Who is insinuating you should devote your whole life to political activism?

You can't find a few hours a month - every other year - to volunteer with a candidate or local party's campaign to stuff mailers, work a phone bank, go canvasing, etc?
