This is mostly a rant about how I’ve forgotten there are still pretty shitty people in this beautiful city.

I was walking home on ocean street today around 6, right across from Marianne’s, minding my own business and carrying groceries. I made eye contact with this mid 40/50s(?) homeless White woman that I was passing by, so I smiled and said hello. Suddenly she switched her cigarette to the other hand and punched me in the face, yelled slurs at me, told me that “people like me makes everybody sick” (im asian), did not stop for a second and walked away. I was too shocked and stood there for more than 30 seconds and didn’t know what to do.

I honestly don’t know what the moral of this story is, just like I didn’t know what to say when police called to ask me what do I want after I filed a report. I guess this is just me feeling very sad being reminded the fact that there are still not so lovely people in this beautiful place. ;-;

Hello fellow slugs!

I am currently living in the dorms, got a place for summer 15ish minutes walk from trader joe's station, will store all my things and live there for summer and move back into on campus apartments in fall. I don't have a car, don't know how to drive, don't really know anyone who has a car around.

The current plan is to slowly move stuff to the place throughout these last 3 weeks via bus + walking, maybe 1 big paper box every time. That will be about 5-8 round trips from and to campus. Is this a good idea? Did anyone ever done this before, will it make my life miserable?

Or, (I'm unfamiliar with the whole thing so any advice will be helpful,) if I rent an pick-up truck and beg one of my friends to drive for me and move all the things all at once, how much should I pay them... I feel like all this is a big request and pay for a meal is not enough but I also am hesitate about directly giving friends money because it just feels off.... Any advices?

Long story short, social media account about HRT got pushed to parent by algorithm and now I (19) am out. Unexpectedly.

I am an international college student and parents are overseas back home so Im physically safe, but I'm financially dependent and due to visas issues I cannot work. I knew they were pretty transphobic so the original plan is to just never tell them. Their reaction was basically "hormones are bad for you/you're just confused/what if you regretted this"

Im like a ftm/trans guy but in a femboy way and also bisexual/gay and present myself pretty femininely and also realized im trans relative late(?) in life (~15yo), which none will be helpful in explaining transgender as a concept to them because most article i can find is for binary trans people also people who knew they were trans since a kid.

So basically here to ask for help-How to explain idea of transgender and non-binaryness and the difference in sexuality and gender identity and expression to mid 50s Asian relatively conservative & religious parents who barely know that gay people exists not to say trans people?

(any advice on next steps if i get disowned will be appreciated too)
