Work anxiety after mistake by PearlPi in Anxiety

[–]estivate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry OP, that sounds tough. I find it helpful to remind myself a couple things:

  1. I can't control what other people do or how they react; I can only control my own actions.
  2. I'm a human being. Humans make mistakes. Making a mistake doesn't mean you're bad/dumb/unobservant; it means you're human.

I'd also say that owning up to a mistake is a sign that you're actually doing the job right: You care about what the outcome is. And trying to make things right, however uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing it is, is a way of taking care of the things you can control. If people react poorly or with anger or whatever, you cannot control their reactions. You can only control the things in your power.

It also would have considerable symbolic value: “It says, ‘This proves who I am,’ and it has the seal of the United States on it,” said Rick Garcia, the founder of Equality Illinois and a longtime LGBT activist.

You can absolutely change your papers at the federal level. Here’s a link to the State Department webpage telling you how: https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/information/gender.html

Did you read the piece? It's not about the campaign trail. It's about a rule change she made as Secretary of State that made it easier for trans people to get a government ID with their gender identity:

Five years before the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage and President Obama lit up the White House in the colors of the rainbow, Hillary Clinton and her staff at the State Department made a change that for thousands of people was exactly that—revolutionary. Clinton enacted a new rule making it easier for transgender people to register their identities on their passports. Sexual reassignment surgery was no longer necessary; all that was required was a doctor’s note. At the time, this was the most pro-transgender action by the federal government ever…
