Pulled one of the copies I have of this to send to a cis friend today after she asked but are there like trans equivalents of Christian tracts?

yes. yes there are and they are zines.

pro wrestling is cool because people will be like "yayyy big meaty men slapping meat 🥩💪" but it's actually more "big meaty men establishing incredible amounts of emotional trust in order to keep each other safe doing dangerous physical maneuvers 🥺"

Thanks to one person who reached out (and yes there are more I had talked with about this previously).

This has been so fucking hard

I reached into our C64 game collection and came away with a banger 80s sci-fi cover candidate for #RandomGameSaturday.

Lucasfilm developed some really cool and experimental stuff in their early years.

no my comfort food being hot wings hasn't caused any issues since getting older or at least none I will acknowledge

I got it into my head that my FFXIV wol didn't get a chance to transition since I haven't played in years and spent a couple hours getting back into my account to save her

I have absolutely no idea what else I can do to find a job and nothing I have tried has worked.

The few times I've been able to get feedback from hiring managers they say my resume is excellent and I would be what they are looking for except except something, "you'll find something"

yeah, no

If you are someone who does resume review or is even just willing to talk with me about what I can do career-wise in tech or out of it with my skillset and mindset (especially if you can answer the question "have I ever actually been a PM?"), it would mean everything to me. I'm willing to pay!

Like no one replies usually and there's no conversation or anything but I am unable to not talk about it when I get so worried and sad.

I dunno why I do threads like this. I guess it helps me process, and as always I want people who may be going through something similar to know they're not alone.

Obviously there was no question about me transitioning when I did and how I did, I could not personally have done it any other way and lived with myself. So it doesn't even feel like consequences, it just is what it is.

also a noticeable amount of people just went no contact even while in the middle of a conversation on LinkedIn and stuff.

I am grateful to have had the space to transition while unemployed. It definitely feels like it increased the difficulty in the middle of the game, though.

I have even arranged things so I can be stable with a lower paying job which opens up more options but I've never had a non-tech job and there is so much more qualified competition for retail or whatever or not enough money to hire anyone else.

I am honestly good at things, quite a lot of them in fact. I know I can help somebody.

I should redo my resume, I guess. And probably do better at making it fit positions, but that doesn't represent me and I hate it. And it feels like an enormous waste of time.

All my networking is meaningless now as connections change careers or are in the same boat.

So, help? Anyone?

One time I was told "you'd be bored with this role". Oh, thanks for thinking of my fulfillment.

This isn't even getting into the ones that had hiring freezes or "rethinking the role" while I am screening or interviewing.

This implies I have had many interviews - I have not, but all were close.

sure the only two sports I resonated playing as a kid were being a roller hockey goalie and fencing where I could not be myself by covering up my body and face completely

was nothing to see here move along gender feelings

also yeah I... always played masc characters but almost universally always wore a full face helmet. True in most TES games too (Chitin Helmet, Morrowind)

WEIRD. what could that mean.

Back in July when I came back to Destiny 2 for a bit and came out to my clan (they all knew me as Deep anyway so name was easy) it was also very affirming transing my Guardian, if one button. This one took work!

I mean yes you and beth talking about it made this stick in my head until I did this, I am unclear if I am back (I never played too much in any case but grew very attached)

update: no, I am not permanently broken. I always might be permanently different but also everything is change anyway so why worry.

how can I know if my hair looks okay if someone isn't running their hands through it
