RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

MODERATORS
Because you being here and making to the other side of this (and YOU WILL) makes the world better for anyone else who goes through it after you.
You CAN do this. I hope you choose to stay. I know you will change peoples' lives for the better if you do.
Please don't go.

Trans lifeline didn’t answer, and I’m scared of calling the other lines because last time I did I ended up in a facility where they called the police and put me in the woman’s word.
I'm so sorry. You deserve better than that. You deserve someone to listen to you and tell you how important you are to then. So allow me: You, andros_rex, are important to me. I mean that. Your existence makes the world better, and thus, you literally touch my life in a positive way by just being here and being you. You are very clearly a good teacher (otherwise you wouldn't have been offered a job in the first place) not to mention a good person, and I wish there were more people like you, with your skills, to have a positive impact on the world around them.
You're in the lowest low-point of your life right now. Situations always change, so it's statically impossible for you to be in this low point forever. Stick around and keep being the amazing person I'm absolutely certain you are, even if it's just out of spite... don't let those assholes win.
