It's worth noting specifically about gay panic, that is a recognizable legal defense in every us state except california. It's not murder if you killed someone because their gender/sexual attraction makes you uncomfortable. what in the what | ||

Important part here, still, the fact that it was ever even tried is so fucked up. | ||

US law never ceases to amaze me. This time in a very wrong way. Next time I get confused about NaDa's body I know where to run after 'slaughtering' him. p.s. I hope you get over your depression. Getting a job helps in that incredibly. Good luck~ | ||

It's not the interesting kind of depression that gives me something to write about either, I mostly just lay in bed and pity myself. I've been there and done that. I suck. I've just made a commitment to myself to get proper help, are you doing the same? | ||

At least thats something I found extremely helpful. Good Luck! | ||

I also eventually reached a point where I got the stuff I needed from my endo, but that took like 18 months. I am glad you got there a lot faster! | ||

I can't drink much either, my meds lower my alcohol tolerance a lot, so I can be completely hammered after like 3 or 4 shots Well, I suppose saving thousands of dollars is also a nice benefit  And i know quite a few people who get that hammered after a few shots, and they're not even on meds. | ||

It's hard for me to give advice because I come to the gender identity thing from a pretty different place, privilege of being a 'pretty white boy' I guess. Means I'm under a little less pressure to conform. | ||

If you want to promote trans awareness, then go right ahead but I suggest you do it with a sprinkling of honesty because bold, audacious lies are just plain unforgivable. Did you actually read any of the links in the post? It seems like there have been cases where murder is treated differently due to the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity. Do you have any information that suggests otherwise (if so, please share), or did you just want to call OP a liar for the hell of it? I mean, bumping a 3 year old post just to call OP a liar seems really petty, so I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt here. | ||
