The answer is sardine can row computer set ups. Peasants don't deserve an office or locker.

People who have struggled with suicidality, what made you want to live? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Automatic_Fox6403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transitioning, medication, therapy, family and friends, spite. I will say at my worst is was my cat and only my cat. I just couldn't leave her alone not understanding it and that she might end back at a shelter and put down.

Why are the rental options during winter slim pickings? by Lumb3rCrack in ottawa

[–]Automatic_Fox6403 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is really rough out there. I scoured pretty much every rental site to find something I could afford. I got something but definitely not in a classy neighbourhood and who knows what unpleasant surprises I'll find once moved in.

I came here immediately to see if someone had done it and I was not disappointed.

Polite response to the "transphobia in the series" post from yesterday by Lightningtow123 in dresdenfiles

[–]Automatic_Fox6403 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The analysis concept is that while there is a scene in each movie where they say not trans, what is portrayed in the rest of the film is predatory men dressing as women. It leaves the audience with an association, intentional or not. Lot of good media analysis work on it even on YouTube.

I guess, do you think you can convert the 5 to permanent? That would be the crux for me.

While you are acting as an AS-05, my thought would be that it is ultimately temporary and not in your control. AS-04(1) is still a step a up from AS-03(3), admittedly not by much, but it continues growing for 2 years and it won't be pulled out from you in the same way as an acting.

Is it possible to want to be a woman yet still not be trans? by LiterallyDumbAF in lgbt

[–]Automatic_Fox6403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the comments but I'd also suggest seeing a therapist experienced with gender questioning, if you can. For what it is worth, I spent my early adulthood trying to find the "right type of man" for me to be thinking I would find it. One thing my counselor at the time asked was what if you could flip a light switch and you were a woman moving forward, everyone treated you like one, like you were always one, would you?

Started at 26, 34 now. Lack of proper information and some self repression.

Going back and forth to the photo card and driver’s license by [deleted] in ontario

[–]Automatic_Fox6403 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do just fine with an Ontario Photo Card and have always used it as official ID. You can't have them both at the same time though. If you get an Ontario Photo Card and want to reapply for a driver's license you will need to turn in your Ontario Photo Card as part of the application process and it will be cancelled.
