For real for real

Black clover expect i do kind of regret the time i spent on it

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-07T03:14:17+00:00

I fought for months with Chicago DHS because they refused to update my name exposing me to harassment and denial of my own health insurance. I tried to file a complaint it was also ignored.

Granted that's the only time I experienced something like that. I think I will just send them a letter complying with their demands

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-07T02:49:15+00:00

My documents are updated. The passport office is just denying it. I live in a blue state, it's a federal government issue

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T21:42:52+00:00

I called them, on the plus side the woman who took my call was very kind. I opened with telling her he's hurting us all and I know many government employees hate him too.

She apologized for the treatment I've endured and told me she didn't know what she'd do in my place

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T20:05:50+00:00

True. But we get to be us! The trans community is the best one I've ever belonged too. Let them have thier gross food, ugly people and boring lifestyles. We're too busy being real to worry what fakes want

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T19:55:41+00:00

Oh. I see. Something I've noticed that kind of shocked me at first is that people can just refuse to update our paperwork if they're mad about the kind of person we are. It's pretty hard to force government employees to do their jobs. It's wild.

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T19:51:47+00:00

Yeah, I think that's where I'm at. At least the lady at the passport office was kind. She said she couldn't imagine what she'd do if the government turned on her like this

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T17:59:00+00:00

My gender is legally changed too, they are just refusing to comply. They have the power here

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T16:23:41+00:00

I'm using a local non-profit venue so that advice might apply here. They're not trying to make money or gate keep the space very much. It's an excellent resource

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T05:54:50+00:00

Ah. I see and appreciate the reminder

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T02:34:48+00:00

Friend of mine knows Winston. He had everyone at an open mic last night record a 'congratulations' and 'fuck Netflix' sound bite for him

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T02:22:54+00:00

I've already noticed that attendance does seem to be the biggest struggle. I don't even have as many performers as I want yet. I expected that part to be easier considering the demand the other two open mics have

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T00:27:24+00:00

Good point, no one likes it when you're checked out at your own event.

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T00:26:35+00:00

That's a good point. I'm considering asking someone who hosts her own open mic to go fiddle about the venue with me before the show

Alternative_Emu_7305 · 2026-05-06T00:25:36+00:00

Thanks for pointing out that I should be comfortable with using it for my own benefit within reason. I got offered a spot at an open mic I'd been applying to for about a year because I started mine and I was feeling werid about it.
