I read this the opposite way.
Scottish museums are objecting to an anti-trans judgement from the UK. They are saying that if trans-women can't use the women's bathroom, and trans-men can't use the men's bathroom, then they have to close. They're being allies.
It's based on a recent case where Scotland's highest court stated that a person's gender could change based on a doctor's authority, and this was overturned on appeal by a UK judge.
I'd like to be the sole owner of all global patents required for an effective, sustainable, eco-friendly solution to removing and recycling microplastics from earth's environment.
There are a number of reality checks that you can do to check whether you're awake or (lucid) dreaming. I would suggest that you try some of those.
For example, apparently your hands always look odd in dreams. They might seem fine until you try to focus on them, then suddenly you'll notice they're the wrong colour or shape or have the wrong number of fingers.
There are also some other reality checks in that Wiki if you're feeling bored.
Ex patriots move to work in a foreign country for a limited period, with the intention of returning to their home country. Typically these are white collar workers who move between their employer's offices for 2-3 years and then return home.
Immigrants move with the intention of staying in the new country long term.
However, with the negative connotations attached to immigrants, some people - primarily white, highly educated people - incorrectly refer to themselves as expats, even once it's clear they intend to stay.
I had a similar reaction. I'm currently unable to work and really struggling without any external structures (thank you ADHD), so telling my severely depressed mind that my self importance is out of control because I'm struggling to accept my new reality is hurtful. I spend enough time despising myself, I don't need anyone to add another reason on top.
I think this post is aimed at healthy people with extremely high self expectations, not those of us struggling with the activities of daily life. At least, that's what I'm choosing to believe.
So, I just wanted to say, you're not alone. I see you, your feelings are valid, and you're enough.
Hello beautiful boy.
He's growing so fast! A little trim around the eyes so he can see better might be appreciated.
