    My desk is right by the coffee machine. Someone was talking about "how people intentionally disable themselves... And it's like with Bruce Jenner. Same thing."

    I hate my job so much.

    You know, I hear that all the time. :\

    Mostly school and online, though. I don't work yet. ._.

    Yeah, it's super annoying. But meh. They don't know enough about what they're gossiping about, so just write them off as idiots.

    Even though it isn't that easy sometimes. :\ Meh. Hope people over there get better.

    Dont hate the job.
    hate the people and put ex-lax in the coffee.
    If you get lucky, it hits them all at once and you get to watch them trying to push each other out of the way at the bathroom door.

    Seriously though, no matter who you are or what you do, there are always going to be people out there just hating and making comments.
    F-Them, live your life in whatever way makes you happy.

    Could you ask them to define how they imagine people 'intentionally disable themselves'? :confused: Right now I'm just picturing someone hacking their own legs off.

    I typically do not tune into conversations that do not directed to me. Fut when I hear, how ever it is delivered, material as you told about: I basically say to myself their 4th brain cell has not matured yet. I then get my work done super early and go home - where I can do what I want to do, be with whom I want to be with.

    Yes. Dead serious. An actual comparison was made between transitioning and cutting one's arm off.

    What can one say? How about, "fucking idiots"? I don't think there is a great deal of point in trying to consider a more intelligent response to people like that.

    ... What the f*ck.

    I've never heard of anyone saying anything so idiotic in my life.

    Where you do you work? Please don't tell me you work for Apple or something because then I would just lose faith in humanity.

    Yes because trans folks need a psychologist to make sure they are in their right minds.So naturally something like this could happen on a regular every case basis.:dry:

    Just don't listen to them they're not worth it.

    Why anybody would want to be anything but a man, is clearly a sign of disability!

    Guess they think they're so "smart" that they can just insult anyone and anything and then say "Well, it's true" and have several people agree because they themselves don't want to seem sensitive to anyone, except people inside their own little world.

    God forbid people show some sensitivity and care. -_-
    Sigh.

    Good thinking.This way every woman on earth should be forced to transition to male and everyone should become gay.The small weak women won't endanger the human race anymore and everyone is equal.The end.

    People up here do purposely slip on ice to get workers' comp. I have seen it myself.

    But transitioning like Caitlyn is not disabling anything, more like freeing someone from captivity of their own body.

    You don't want to know the things I have to endure everyday. There is openly transfolks there, and the amount of hate they receive is just shameful.

    It's very ironical that I stand up for my openly trans coworker (who is by the way damned cute), and at the same time I try to distract and confuse people so they'll leave me be.
    (And the day someone says some hurtful remark to her in front of me, I'm not gonna keep quiet, that's for sure. We do have a policy against such stuff, and I think is time somebody makes use of it)
    So I'm only on it because of the money, even if it's an okay company, I'm not okay with working next to such scum.

    (Somebody even went as far as saying 'we have enough of them'... We have enough of your kind, fucker... We fucking do... )

    What does that even mean? Disable yourself to get benefits? How is that like transitioning? What "benefits" do they think come with transitioning other than feeling better about yourself and having peace of mind maybe? What "benefits" are gained... and why is this a "disability"? I don't even understand that line of thinking... the whole statement is just very confusing... Anyway don't let ignorant people get to you. :slight_smile:
