Well, I mean, when it comes to discrimination because "they don't like them", there's a difference between discrimination and protecting employees.

Like, if a client is disruptive and dangerous for the mental health of employees (for example, I had to tell a client to leave when I was a barista because she'd yell at my coworker and throw coins at him). That's a right that is beneficial to employees if the employees are allowed to waive that right for themselves and if the law allows both parties to justify themselves.

It's dangerous when the law either don't allow either party to justify themselves (so the power can be abused without any stopping it from victims of it) or allows only the corporations to use it. That's where corporations could discrimination someone for race, gender, sexual orientation, language, ethnical background, etc.

Can you give more details about your situation? Most provinces (and I hope territories too) have Protection of the Customer laws that can allow you to get information on whether or not you have a case to be made to get services from the pharmcy. Cause there'd be a difference if they discriminated against you for, example, not speaking well the local language vs you assaulted an employee and they're scared of you since then. (Not accusing you of this, it's just an example)

At least you can now strive as a life goal to get out of there, or at least try. I'm white and I'm suicidal too, but there's nowhere else where it'll be better if I can't even deal being in a rich white country

I'm no doctor but holy shit yes please go to the hospital

Do you know how being trans even work 😭. Just like telling someone with clinical depression "are you sad? just stop"

People already did great analysis so I just want to keep adding on: that means your ex is the disappointing one. Good thing she's an ex!

There are more people like you than you might think. Actually, I'd bet most people also wouldn't fake date someone lol.

Idk in which country or region you are, so it might not work, but you can look up minimal age of request to see specialists without parental consent. I'm in Quebec (Canada) and here, you can file requests to see social workers or doctors without parental consent from age 14. I personally used that law to see social workers and gynecologists in my parents' back when I needed to as a minor.

If you can't do those due to your region's law, you can maybe check for ways to spend the least time at home. For example, one of my sisters used to do a lot of after-school activities to cope with the family yelling and arguing, so she'd come home super late to avoid greeting the parents.

As a worse-case scenario, do you know anyone who you'd feel the least uncomfortable to ask for shelter? Like an aunt, a friend, etc.

That can help build you a safety net, which can decrease anxiety a tiny bit.

Hi, I was 3 years on pramipexole. I was on it to treat my Restless Legs Syndrome.

I haven't seen any big side-effects aside from RLS. If you do have it DO NOT TAKE IT FOR YEARS! It's a med that's given as a "in the meantime" while you're on a waiting list for a diagnosis through a sleep study. (Which would make you take another med that has little side effects, example I'm currently on pregabalin.)

My doctors were highly negligent and got me on pramipexole for 3 years, which was fun for a few months… and then worsened the RLS so badly that I now have twitches all over my body, especially my neck.

If you don't have RLS, then honestly yeah just ask about the possible side-effects to see if you're comfortable for it to be prt of your schizophrenia treatment. Pramipexole is bad mostly if you're more than months on it to treat RLS

I'm 21 years old, and same experience (though slightly different as a trans man). I ended up asking my best friend if he wanted to try giving me my first time.

It was just okay. I was disappointed. He wasn't bad, maybe I was. But it was just okay. Almost a year later, I have much more experience, and it's still just okay. Oh well

He doesn't deserve to be around women with how disgusting he is. He deserves you even less. You are worth so much more. LEAVE

I'm 21 years old. I see you. I feel for you. I work a desk job and I don't even have PTO. Everyday I mourn that I can't see the world, or that I even have time for hobbies.

Life is rough and unfair, I'm so sorry that it has to be like this

Thank you for your wisdom. I'll be moving out and find another job, so surely I'll have better opportunities there

I understand the sentiment, but I genuinely have a hard time functionning because I suffered from severe sleep apnea that made me hypersomnic. It's getting better, but it's not good enough for them, I get it

They told me I was underperforming and that they need someone better for job. It's not restructuring, it really is a me-problem. :(

At least now I have a chance to move out with the excuse of looking for another job, so that's good?

Thank you for your kind words. <:)

I have no choice but to do so now. Wish me luck :/

Trans guy and gay here, i can't get enough ass hair

Thank you, I really appreciate that 🫂

My father is exactly like that. My mother is still in cognitive dissonance, telling me he's "nice in private" and "really means well" "he's just clmsy with his words". End of the line, he's racist towards my sister's boyfriend who's black and a massive queerphobe to his gay kid (saying gay people are pedophiles... in front of his gay kid.)

Don't put up with this. He won't change, and he'll do it even less for you.

White rich queer people aren't affected (or as much) by queerphobia. And they won't care until it affects them. That's like with women who are against access to safe abortions, they won't care about basic human rights until it affects them and they need one.

The Church (well, most Roman Catholic priests I promise) will tell you that all are welcome to participate in the church, even if your beliefs don't completely align.

I myself, a lapsed Catholic, went many times to mass and generally hung out in my local basilica when I used to be able to, because I simply really liked the atmosphere and loved to talk to the priests. I myself am unsure if I ever could (or want to) be considered a practicing Roman Catholic, but I know that I can always step in the church and not be judged by anyone.

Hi, lapsed Catholic here, so my opinion would highly benefit from a practicing Catholic. The Virgin Mary in Catholicism is very important, because she gave birth to Jesus, hece why she's often named Mother of God.

I remember that one of the Rosary Mysteries Catholics can meditate upon is about Jesus, when he became God's right-hand in Heaven, crowned the Holy Mother as Queen of Heaven. Thus, in Catholicism, not only did she give birth to Jesus, making her Mother of God, but she's also recognized as having reign in Heaven.

Don't know if it counts, but Frankie Dart in Community (Season 6, last season) made the departure of previous actors go wayyy more smoothly. Each one of her moments are golden
