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.

No permanent solutions to temporary problems!

Sorry love. Things will get better, you will have better days than this. I promise.

Don’t do it before you leave OK.

There are an enormous number of different places to live. San Francisco is screaming for substitute teachers at least.

What was the dream job?

Why the fuck shouldn’t I kill myself?

Seriously, give me a fucking reason.

Why should you die? They're the ones who suck!

Like folks said 🧵, due to fascism, the 🇺🇲 is bleeding it's entire education department.

Open a gofundme or kofi, so we can help you emigrate elsewhere.
I’m in a similar position as yours, and teaching has been my vocation since birth too. But I’m not going to let these fascists win.
I’m right now making sandwiches for fascists, until my Belgian French is good enough to acquire a Visa. By then, I plan to make my ISP again, and remake my curricula there.
Never base your worth on monopsonists.

I know it can be frustrating to receive all this advice from strangers online, who don’t know the specific challenges you’re facing, but I just want to point out that this little community sees you and cares about you.

You deserve community; you deserve to be seen and loved for who you are. I’m sorry that your birth family was too stupid and cruel to see you for who you really are, but that doesn’t mean that that love and support is denied to you forever. I’m just some random dude on the internet, but I see you and I want good things for you. I guarantee there are people around you that want that connection with you. When you’re fighting just to survive it’s incredibly difficult to find the energy to search out those connections but I promise it’s worth it. Please don’t despair.

Come to Washington state or California. My kid's teacher is trans and no one bats. She's not a great math teacher but that's a complete different story.

Can you visualize a future situation in which you feel joy? That's reason enough to stick around.

I wish you weren't suffering. I'm cis, so I've not experienced the particular suffering you describe in you headline, but I hope you can survive it and still find joy in the future.

I have been looking for a job for about 5 months now, and submitted dozens of applications, but no interviews yet. I have a lot of privileges that mean this is not as stressful to me as it could be, but I still feel incomplete and insecure without a job. In any case, I hope you find a job that values you.

Be well; do good.

I am so sorry. You deserve to be seen and respected. You wouldn’t want to work for people who would treat you this way so it is better that this happens now rather than later. Keep at it and you’ll find your home.

Why the fuck shouldn’t I kill my self?

Because that's exactly what the bigots want. There is nothing wrong with you, there never was, there is everything wrong with those sick freaks. And I am sure you have a lot to contribute to the world. Always be you, and the rest of the world can fuck off.

Don't apply to red states, especially Montana. Try Washington State, Oregon, California, Minnesota, even New Mexico if you want a smaller place to be. Your other options are the North East.

Sometimes life is just shit. Admit you are having a bad day, and you will be surprised how that acknowledgement can actually help. Tomorrow is a new start. And I do realize that no advice, no matter how well intentioned feels like it's ever going to help. But a good rest and fresh perspective can be a life changer. :)

Turns out, not your dream job. You dodged a bullet. You don't want to work somewhere that would do that. That would be a nightmare job.

"If I was gonna kill myself I would take some of the assholes with me at least".. what the term for this act? Radical activism?
