Homophobes are just a syndrome

Yeah, jobhunting is hell and you aren't alone at this. Just keep checking and applying, eventually you'll be employed! Good luck with this!

It's cool that in some places mental support is so accessible! We were checking for a psychiatrist for my GF recently and holy cow they're expensive! We're going for them anyway ofc.

Future you is hypothetical, present you is awesome and great :3

Problems are unavoidable but at least we can prepare for them. I wish someone could explain this to me back when I was at school, instead of fearmongering me daily that I will be kicked out and die on streets.

I don't think you're fucked at all. Your life situation like that for a reason, and that reason can be treated and fixed. I mean, I don't know your situation so I can't really say for sure but I believe you'll be able to deal with it.

Supportive people are of a huge help, whether online or IRL. It may be hard to befriend people and keep the friendship but it'll possibly be the hardest step to make, as the next ones will be done with others.

I also find it helpful to keep some hopeful and affirming media around, for times when my mental issues cause me to fail. E.g., rewatching some Bocchi the rock episodes help me cope with anxiety when it leads me to fail something important.

Therapy can also be an option but it costs money so I can't say if it's an option for you.

It doesn't matter how I see the holiday when in the end I will feel rejected because barely anyone knows and accepts my identity IRL.

As far as I'm concerned, every day is a feminism day.

I'm not from the eagle country either (though not in a better place) and by being quite close with my femme relatives I've seen this shit happen on many occasions.

It's almost never polite, it's never "well I think that would be better". Oftentimes the "advice" is done with an insult, e.g. by comparing a woman to a prostitute.

Usually they're just strangers who has no business telling her how she should dress. And yes, if it was a woman saying this it would still be equally bad. But it's rarely a woman, 99% of the time it's a man.

Yeah, the premise that all men must be ignored is bad but it's the emotional response that often develops after yet another such an idiot opens his mouth.

Bigoted men often comment on women's appearance.

"Too much makeup." "Your skirt is too short." "You should smile more."

It goes without saying that the women they're judging weren't asking for their opinions.

Thinking about men's opinions about me: I don't care B)

Me when one (1) man insults me: ;-;

Of course, I don't argue against that. I just wish people would be less intrusive with these holidays. Celebrations should be opt-in, not ~~opt-out~~ enforced on every work and study place!

Also, Wikipedia article describes a lot of cool stuff... that just isn't really relevant to how it's perceived here, in my experience. I have NEVER in my life seen anyone treating 8th March as even remotely connected to feminism. People just see it as the day when you bring flowers to cis women and tell them how beautiful they are and stuff.

I always learn when the Mother's day is a day before the holiday, and I have no idea when the Father's day is at all 😅

Like, parents have birthdays so I feel like these ones are kinda obsolete? Whatever, holidays are weird as hell!

They ran out of spell slots I see
