I only say irrational because I've never really been to one
I definitely have some legit reasons to at least be skeptical, and like 30% of them are from the horror stories people have had on this website

Tumblr is seemingly full of the least materialist-minded liberals you've ever seen. The entire framing of "you have to vote based on what the candidates claim to support" even if they were honest about it, is on its face a shit idea when BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT, AND ONE HAS BEEN IN CONGRESS FOR 11,000 YEARS BEFORE THAT
THEY HAVE TRACK RECORDS
Yeah I mean I guess. Still, if you've got weeks worth of time and haven't smoked in a month already, why risk it
diy injections r pretty ez just saying
i've never been assessed for anything in my life because I have an irrational dislike of psychologists, but one of my friends is bipolar and big same they rock 
I wanted to do my part but I have plenty of repressed shit to say at all times so I just tapped into that instead of hype
I'm the same lol. I dont expect any pushback or phobia, but it just hasnt felt like the right time and I havent seen a lot of ppl one on one lately
hard agree with the other posters saying you still got this
a month and a half is a long time, and at home tests have high false positive rates. even if its a genuine positive you can test again closer to the date or you can just try to detox for two weeks. just dont overdo it the day before the test and flunk on dilution. I've heard of tons of people detoxing in less than a week successfully
holy hanna this mega is popping
I got shitfaced and had a good time with my friends last night :) But I spent the whole day today hung over and allergy-y :/
The friend I was hoping to "come out" to didn't make it, but I'm feeling more confident for next time I see her (about taking E and official new pronouns, she already knows I'm trans, I've been questioning for years)
some people feel like being loud and proud and making the cisses uncomfortable is inherently praxis/revolutionary in some sense. I don't think it really is, but I had leaned that direction in the past (from a position of complete comfort/hypocrisy...)
Nowadays I think what's much more important than physically standing out at all times is maintaining community, political consciousness, solidarity with other oppressed groups, etc. It turns out that rainbows and drag shows and all that stuff can be coopted by capital, but true, unflinching solidarity with all oppressed people, that cannot.
Something like that anyhow, I sound more confident than I am
I still often feel like safety, both real and perceived, can be invoked to justify a lot of bad shit (calling the cops, increasing surveillance, breaking solidarity, etc), but presentation is a personal choice that doesn't involve making society worse for others.
yeah this is just incredibly aggressive and visible compared to any bifocals I've ever seen IRL lol
and unless you run into a particularly virulent bigot I feel like a lot of people will just be like "whatever as long as you are a good worker" once they finally notice, aka not supportive but not firing you for no reason either
Still sucks hugely to have that axe hovering over you, but in a small shop where everyone is already familiar with you, I think there's better odds than if you're job hopping regularly
