turing-tested:

reminder that if you’re trans there’s a good chance your local planned Parenthood not only does HRT but also does informed consent so you don’t have to get a note from a therapist! i would absolutely recommend looking into your local planned Parenthood by calling them or seeing the services they offer online. i thought hormones would be a huge lengthy process for me but when I went i got my prescription more or less the very same day i went in. transition IS possible and its closer than you think.

to me, one of the weirdest things about our economy right now is the credential inflation 

like my dad got a job as a mechanic when he graduated high school, and he was employed with a high school diploma to a full time job with a union, and had health insurance and benefits. 

at this point, I have graduated from high school, have a Bachelor’s degree, have a Master’s Degree, have two years of experience working in my field, and am a due paying member of multiple professional organizations. And that qualifies me to compete in a two-stage interview process for a part time job that offers no health care. 

This is what decades of stripping the working class of their rights looks like.
