In 2011, when I was fourteen, I was outed as trans by someone that I thought was my best friend. As a result, three of my classmates raped me with an object on school grounds before classes began one morning. I reported it to the principal. Her response was “Well, that’s what happens. What have we learned?”, basically saying that me being trans meant that I should have expected to be raped and that I’d deserved it.

(Previously, one of the rapists had taken a nude photo of me while I was changing and uploaded it to MySpace. I had also reported this to the principal, and she’d told me I was “creating problems where there are none”. MySpace took it down at least, so I guess Tom cared more about my safety than the adult whose literal job was to protect kids.)

I was very, very quickly expelled from the school after the rape. I’m not sure what the official “reason” given was, my parents didn’t tell me. They also didn’t fight it, considering what had happened. I had to be homeschooled until graduation.

I became selectively mute after this, a problem that remains to this day. The rapists never got punished for what they did to me. The local PD (in Texas) never followed up on the report my parents made.

Sad that nothing’s changed about how schools handle sexual abuse in the almost-fifteen-years that have passed since then.

I don’t use it, so maybe I missed something, but I could have sworn there was some drama a couple months back because Character AI makes you give them a photo of your ID to use it now. Did they backtrack on that, or was it just regional or something?

Water makes things wetter than fire does.

Wouldn’t this also drive customers away?

I’ve had that happen at a few places as well, it’s pretty annoying. I’m also really short, and so I’ve had one restaurant swap what I actually ordered to whatever the closest equivalent on their kids’ menu is lol

When transphobes say “TRA” or “trans rights activist” they just mean “anyone who is trans”.

Remember when Tumblr banned porn, and implemented it so poorly that any photos with enough peach-ish or brown-ish colors got nuked for “displaying nudity”?

But people were fired from their jobs for quoting Charlie Kirk’s own words after he died.

I’ve been locked out of mine. I called Apple and had the most ridiculous customer support interaction of my life. I screen shared with the person, showed them what was happening, they saw the error, read it out loud and then just… Said nothing was wrong and that I had access to the account. Despite having just seen for themselves that I didn’t.

I’m sorry for being so late to the organ transplant
