What's Bothering You?

Spoiler: tw: transphobia

There’s this MTF transgender at my job. The problem is there are a few kids, aged 14-18 who are rolling eyes at them, and two of them were making fun of them. They can’t be any older than 20, but I’m surprised that they are handling it extremely well and not letting it bother them.

Identity aside, they are honestly a very nice person. I kind of feel bad, though, that their name tag has their “deadname” on it, I guess? It says “Eric.” That’s not their name anymore, but that’s their legal name. Still, they are a lot more mature than these other people making fun of them. I’m not sure why their name tag has their deadname on it? I do think it’s very mature that they are wearing it and not complaining, though.

I kind of feel bad. I haven’t introduced myself to them yet because it’s been really busy. I’ve been using “them” pronouns to be safe, but the (3?) others are using “it” and that’s not funny.

I am having a tough time. I'm so frustrated.

My stomach hurts, serves me right for eating a ton of Skittles in one sitting. >~<

Been there before. But it was with these peanut-butter chocolate wafer bars. They just tasted too good.

Nothing much is really bothering me today. It does suck to have to get up so early for work each day, but I got to do that on a daily basis. It would be nice if my shift would be pushed up even an hour later. That would give me so much more time to sleep and also stay up later to get things done that I need and want to do. One can dream lol.

Man i really need to cut down on cookies and stuff during weekdays, it's too easy to eat "just one cracker" with the afternoon coffee...

Bro, I swear that my parents have a superpower of knowing when I'm on the computer. As soon as I go on, they're either walking downstairs so I have to get off (usually when it's early and I didn't ask for permission), or they walk into the general area (kitchen or living room) so they can keep an eye on me. It's so annoying. >:/

My family also has this really bad habit of barging into rooms without knocking. I'm literally the only person who knocks in my household! But then again, my father has said on numerous occasions that privacy was a privilege and not a right...

if gender is a protected class in your area you should be able to report these people to hr

This one person on Discord keeps spamming me random stuff .—-.

I want to go get a snack downstairs, but I don't want to deal with my family. Just hearing their voices from my room is enough to keep me here. No thanks, chances are I'm gonna get nagged or yelled at, or get dragged into a chore that my brother should've done.

My roommate has been avoiding and not talking to me since Valentine's day and I have no idea why, I hate it when people are passive aggressive and dont communicate what's bothering them.

that's honestly really rude on the part of the business to force them to use their deadname on their name tag. fortunately all the places I've applied to work so far asked for my legal name as well as a preferred name. I guess it's good that they're handling it so well but that's still terrible.
also people who assume that someone uses "it" pronouns are really just complete idiots, it's very safe to assume that unless someone explicitly tells you they use "it/its" pronouns then they don't use them, and using them on someone who didn't ask for it is very disrespectful

Disappointed in these crisps they definitely doesn't taste as much cheese as promised. I really miss the Sour cream & Cheese from when I was a kid, they tasted cheese with a hint of sourcream...these were basically the opposite, bleh.

Sorry you have to deal with that. Mind games are just so stupid and immature. We're all way too old for that stuff as young/adults.

I kind of want to post this somewhere because I’m just a bit confused.

Spoiler: just thinking out loud

(For context, I’m a female. — my profile is private to people I’m not following and there’s nothing remotely female about my aesthetic so just putting it out there.)
So it’s not really something I thought about, but I’ve had this friend (only a friend) and on a few occasions she either said “what’s up my man” or “no problem man” and it feels kind of empowering in a weird way. It’s mostly just any sentence but she’ll add something like “my man” at the end. She’s perfectly okay to refer to me as such and definitely isn’t doing it in a rude way. I’m just confused because, ngl, I’m here for it and it kinda brings a smile to my face.

Daylight savings time, boo boo hiss hiss. It hasn't even happened here yet, and I already want my hour back.

Ugh same, we're turning it on the 27th (last Sunday in March, 27th this year) and I'm like could we cut this crap already -_-

I can’t ever do anything right. I even try my hardest to put my hurt feelings aside for others and that isn’t good enough either. Plus I said I wouldn’t get attached to the person I go to on Saturdays and her health is declining she couldn’t even remember what day it was last week and she couldn’t accept what I was telling her because they didn’t understand where the missing time went. She has this pair of pajamas and my mom had the exact same pair and I always choose them for her because they remind me of her. I can feel how frustrated she is that her body and mind are failing her that she’s acting out for whatever control she can get. Even though she’s taking it out on me a little I can’t be mad I think I’m mostly just in pain for her. She called me a sweetheart and apologized as I was leaving and all I could say was it’s ok I’ll see you next week. I’m already trying to come up with something I could do with her next week that might make her feel like she’s not shoved in front of a tv and ignored, but at the same time I just don’t want to get any closer to her because I don’t know how much time she has left.

I am talking way too much and am being way too negative when I meet new people. Most people don’t seem to care about it, but I feel bad for this every single time.

Honestly if you all are fine with it, let her and whoever else do it. I've been referred to as he, they, it, she, bro, dude etc. and honestly I do not mind, I would probably be more offended if someone called me a plant, lol. I don't really care what people call me, I'm fine being cisfemale and people using "other" pronouns to me doesn't matter. We're all just humans.

I'd say don't be confused, like if you all are enjoying it what's the harm. Also I just use brodude/man/whatever with like everyone I'm close with and we don't really take it as a gender-targeted thing.

OK, but why does daylight savings time still exist?
