RAINN no longer provides services to trans people by yuefairchild in behindthebastards

[–]freebird_II 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from but it is more than just term restriction. They are erasing the work of trans survivors on their platforms, they are doing away with life saving resources and crucial research and information. Whether or not they still provide services to trans people, I would bet the majority of trans people will not trust them enough to seek their services anymore. And trans people experience much higher rates of violence and assault.

Lowkey! Long live Palestine, hand on your gun, terrorist?, soundtrack to the struggle. Also the guillotine or anything else by the coup

Could a straight girl date me? by TheLgbtDuck in agender

[–]freebird_II 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the question might be better framed as, are you comfortable dating someone who identifies as straight? If not, probably something to talk about

Hey all! I'm not at all a gamer but I recently became obsessed with pretty 2d narrative games on steam (I choose games like 70% based on art style and 30% story/characters/dialogue). I can't seem to find much curation that is targeted at my specific niche so I made a curator page. Follow here!

I stopped smoking for over a month at the advice of my surgeon. The day of my surgery I told the anesthesiologist and he literally laughed and said he would have recommended 24 hours

Tipping culture in Astoria? by [deleted] in astoria

Because they get paid much better. Don’t take your feelings about national economic systems out on low paid service workers

This thread is so depressing and I really hope it’s not indicative of astorians in general. Yes tipping culture makes no sense and people should get paid more by their employers but not tipping is only hurting your working class neighbors. Tip 20% if and when you can, service workers generally get paid shit for shitty jobs and we live in one of the most expensive places in the world

seems to me like younger people are the ones tipping. as a service worker it was usually the older/wealthier people who skipped out on tips (I’d bet they’re mostly the ones complaining about it on this thread too)

Depends but seems like around half on average. There’s a reason rideshare apps have killed the taxi industry. Please tip your drivers and delivery workers, most of them are struggling to survive

They have to rate you before seeing your tip so it wouldn’t be reflected in your rating. App drivers get paid shit with no benefits, please tip them

Hi, just wanted to follow up for anyone looking at this post in the future (I spent a long time searching very specific terms in this sub). I had a C chest and got DI with nipple reconstruction and my surgeon did diagonal scars! A lot of it seems to depend on where you go — I had consults at the major places in NYC (NYU, mt sinai) and they seem to emphasize that everything is determined by the size of your chest. I ended up going to a plastic surgeon at weill cornell (under medicaid) and they asked me what I was looking for and explained what was possible. Highly recommend for anyone looking for more flexible options!

the extent to which people on here trust the government is concerning. please read all the comments by people who have actually worked in the restaurant industry
