Hello everyone, My name is Tiffany I'm trans, autistic, disabled and cant work with chronic fatigue syndrome, executive dysfunction and I have avoidant personality disorder/high anxiety and don't have a social support network that is supportive of me being transgender I've never been employed and am basically unemployable I'm in the process of getting benefits like ssi, snap, medicare, and medicaid but in order to receive rental assistance I need to be able to pay first months rent and a move in fee but I'm practically unable to because of how little I'm getting right now and how fast the money goes due to things like food, my phone bill, some goes to my uncle's rent and bills, and I would just want some support temporarily until all these government assistance processes are completed witch would take long because first I need to find one available and the cheapest apartments I can apply for in my area are $1800 to $2300 plus security deposit then it would need to be inspected for approval and then hopefully I can finally live on my own planning to hopefully live on all that but its taking longer then expected and i would love to move out sooner then later so I can begin to live the way I want to live away from bigoted and abusive members of my family
now that people are really getting scared about this site can anyone help me out with this or give me any advice?
is there any way to download or mass reblog all of the posts I've liked or save them or search through them easily?
SO many assumptions buried in this little assertion. "Obvious distinction" Obvious to who? "someone who is able to work and chooses not to" What work? For who? Why? Why are they choosing not to? "a morally bad thing" according to who? why should I care? I thought rejecting bourgeois morals was sort of a 101 deal.
I dont know how much longer I can live in this situation before I have a similar episode that got me kicked out in the first place and got me sent to this place Im really feeling like im losing it and cant take it anymore I dont know whats going to happen
There's this interesting phenomenon where when you're a child, or some other vulnerable minority dependent on a job for shelter, you are actually under duress almost constantly. You can't say "I don't want to work today," you cannot say "I don't want to do the dishes, actually," you cannot choose not to participate. In a lot of cases, the punishment is explicit. Your parents might yell at you. Your boss might fire you. But in other cases, it's implicit. The mood will sour. You lose leeway. People get mad at you. And that creates a really shitty environment where you're constantly being coerced to do things!
And here's the kicker; you're not allowed to acknowledge that. You cannot acknowledge that you are being coerced, you cannot acknowledge that your free will is not being respected, because that's punished too. Your boss insists that you act excited. Your parents punish you for acting surly. You are forced to fake enthusiastic consent, constantly. It's a fucking nightmare. Your hand is being forced, you do not have the option to say "no," and if you ever, for a second, try to acknowledge that, everyone acts like you're the aggressor.
Reed says trans people living in Democrat-run states have been able to live "relatively peacefully and freely" over the last few years, even as anti-trans bills have been passing in Republican state legislatures amid a rise in anti-trans rhetoric. She does not expect that peace to last much longer. "Everything that I've seen in the reddest of state legislatures, I'm expecting to see all of that at a federal level, at minimum," Reed said. "I'm expecting Trump to likely use his office to target transgender people in blue states." The ACLU has tracked 531 anti-LGBTQ bills across the U.S. in this year's legislative session alone, including restrictions on gender-affirming care and pronoun changes in schools. Reed expects Trump to target trans youth in schools, end or obstruct access to medical care for trans people of all ages and end passport gender marker changes.
a pharmacy i used sold my information and some company sent me a letter with my name on the envelope but I haven't had it legally changed yet because I'm still closeted and pre transition because I still have to live with family members until I can receive rental assistance and they are mostly all transphobes and my uncle who I have to stay with collects the mail and saw it and gave it to me with a bad attitude and hasn't spoken to me in days I don't know what he is thinking about it but this has given me a ton of anxiety and feeling emotionally unsafe please help me get out of here!

I'm on social security, disability, snap, medicare/medicaid and am in the process of having those benefits expanded and also receive rental assistance and was planning to hopefully live on that but I'm not sure what the near future of those services will be or how long they will last also the state of the economy in the near future and if I need to I have never set up a gofundme or anything like that
i was talkin with some europeans about their healthcare and i realized like, even if i had the means to immigrate, i most likely would not be allowed to in most countries as a single person because I am disabled. This is another major aspect of ableism I don't see talked about often, the way immigration systems across the globe are designed to keep disabled people (who would be 'burdens' on the welfare system) out.
