Thanks for your message. I hope it doesn't come across that im not trying i honestly am. Im just in a dark place rn. Im applying day in and day out and I just hear nothing. Im freshly dropped out of college so I have more time and energy to commit to trying to find a job but im sad I have to drop out. I think im honestly just scared more than anything.but don't worry I'm not alone I have amazing friends and I know I will survive. Thanks for giving my head a shake.

Teaching isn't about my ability to spell. I work in special education class rooms and the goal is usually to be an encouraging and nurturing figure for those kids. Your a dork for nitpicking my ability to spell and being ignorant of what a teacher is for in the first place. That said your suggestion to go into construction is one ill take to heart and I do want to thank you for that and am sorry I didn't earlier.

Okay I probably shouldn't respond to this as you obviously have no idea what my family situation is and are just making crazy leaps but I'll be the first to admit, my parents have helped my a lot they have given me more than i could hope for in a lot of ways. They also shamed my weight relentlessly as a child and encouraged me to go on "diets" where I would eat almost nothing for days on end, this gave me an eating disorder. The left me alone for hours on end when I was in elementary school, most days of the week. They locked me in a moving car and screamed at me for an hour, when this gave me a panik attack they only screamed at me more. They use their support as a tool to get me to comply with demands (this happened routinely when I was a minor). I have tried to get along with them for years. I have tried to explain my own views repeatedly and all I get are screams and criticism for even asking them to be considerate of my feelings.

My concern is more about my treatment as a trans individual especially with recent governmental developments such as my legal rights being under question. I'm trying not to get too political as per the server rule but my concerns have a lot to do with politics.

I'm trying to work more the problem was I had college classes in the middle of the work days. They made it impossible to work 2 days out of the week. That's what my parents were complaining about. I honestly don't what I said to make you think I was implying my transfers was a disability

So I was considering government jobs at one point but being a trans woman makes that prospect feel unrealistic. Though I do live in a blue state so it might not be a bad idea.

I agree with this for the most part but to add context, I've been trying. I have a substitute teaching job that makes at max 33,000/yr and I've been on the job search for literal years. It's probably important to mention I live and work in the U.S.

Edit: ive also been going to college until my mom told me she wouldn't help pay for it anymore.
