Fuck that guy- if you see someone collecting signatures for this, give them an earful!

I agree with the general trend of advice in this thread, but I'm going to go one step further: monetizing your hobbies is a very good way to get burnt out on those hobbies. Finding good work that you enjoy is important! But you should also have some things that are just for you.

Some people are asexual but not aromantic, and some people can't have sex due to medical issues, so there are plenty of people out there who separate these! A lot of folks do experience them as entangled experiences, and that's fine too. What's important is finding what parts work for you, and a partner that is compatible with that if applicable.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to argue that "real" name doesn't mean "legal" name (unless stated elsewhere in the agreement). "Real" should refer to non-fraudulent, not a pseudonym, etc. A trans person's "preferred" name is their real name for these purposes. I hope this youtuber gets this decision reversed asap.

Cadmium telluride might also be of interest

And this is your reminder that this series is being made to enrich known transphobe JK Rowling and take away money from the original cast members who stood up to her about her hate. Any money she gets from this series literally goes to lobbying against trans rights in the UK (see the recent court decision she funded, as well as her setting up an independent fund for further cases).

If you give any money to watch this series you cannot pretend to support trans rights!

Hey, cis (bi) wife to a trans woman here, I can comment a little bit. I always was out as bi (leaning towards women) in my relationship, so that was pretty chill for both of us. My wife didn't know exactly where she was going to end up sexuality wise, but has settled into bi as well. It's a little scary to shake things up in a long-standing relationship that way! My wife and I are doing great, but I definitely have had friends in a similar situation get divorced, even when the non-transitioning partner is bi or pan. Good communication is important, so I would encourage regular check ins, even about the sensitive stuff.

Not to defend the US on pretty much anything, but there's basically tiers of chocolate. Low quality mass produced chocolate (hershey's, kit kat, etc) is almost always waxy, overly sweet, and sometimes has that weird butyric acid additive. Mid tier is like your Ghirardelli: popular nationally but more expensive than your low tier chocolate, still often quite sweet but you can at least get dark chocolate. High tier is usually regional artisan chocolate. I like Theo in the PNW but I think that's going national lately.

All of this is NOT a recommendation to buy these chocolates of course. Go get Tony's Chocolonely if you can find it.

Not a valid excuse, at least

I'm obviously not talking about being a dick to billionaires, I'm talking about harassing a burnt out instance owner

Being an anarchist isn't an excuse to be a dick y'know.

Notch also fuckin' sucks, but a broken clock and all that
