I just feel better as a girl rather than a guy, if you get what I mean.

Actually, no. I don't get what you mean. And that's the tricky part: because transgender people are a relatively small minority, most people just don't understand what gender dysphoria is or how it works. Even many mental health professionals are still learning how it works, much less how your personal experience is and what daily life is like for you. There are definitely people who care and want to listen, however, and that's important to keep in mind.

All that being said, here's a few other things to consider:

- Has there been any threats or physical harm to you? I've heard of different families and classmates react to people who are transgender differently, including those who would use violence to correct what they perceive as a problem. Your physical safety if paramount before anything else. Do you feel safe where you're at right now?

- It may seem like an inconvenience and they may very well be wrong, but from what you've posted, it sounds like your parents are just doing their best to deal with something they don't fully understand. There's always some degree of disconnect between parents and teenagers, and this sounds no different. Besides, once you're a legal adult, the decision making process becomes yours and yours alone anyway.

- Finally, are you speaking to a professional about any of this? Most schools here in the States have counseling services for students, along with connections to some free or low cost therapeutic services. If you can find a decent therapist (especially if you happen to find one specializing in gender dysphoria issues), not only can they help you work through all this stuff yourself, but it could also lend some credibility to what you're experiencing to your parents and get them to ease up a bit.

Again, I'm just some rando on the internet and can't guarantee a specific outcome, but there's just a few things to think about.

1. Will you sort everything out? Because I have no idea what is happening at this table.

The Franco-Prussian War.

2. Why do we always have to heavy-lift packages over to the table anyway?

---

Because it builds character. Now stop yapping and start lifting.

3. And why do have have such long games of backgammon there too?

---

Because the Emperor demands it.

How would you finish the sentence?

Who or what is Swingball even talking about? Something at school?

What was your high school like? I remember they were expanding mine while I was going there (during late 90s/early 2000s)

---

My high school was a bit small, but had a lot of really great teachers, even when the social experience wasn't great. The only part that really got renovated when I was there was the weight room.

The overall experience left something to be desired, but it all got better junior year. I still have some great friends from those years.

Heh, first time I went to my school, it had been freshly redesigned. (Enrolled in about 2004, school redesigned in about 2003.)

---

Yeah, my school really hasn't changed much, last I saw. If it aint broke...

Is Needle teasing me for the database error? Because her face looks like it.

---

Of course. Mockery at one's failures is to be expected.

Do you even have any 8-tracks?

Do you actually currently own any 8-track tapes?

Welcome, Skek, to the board!

Enjoy your stay.

Enough of this noise. I'm going on a trip today. I got a new backpack to sling over my shoulder.

Ever use a coffee grinder?

How are you gonna have me pay-in-full for this ring from the jewelry store?

---

By using money. Duh.

Nostalgia dictates that you find a copy of Oregon Trail as soon as possible.

Seriously though, outside of finding some retro software to run, I don't know any other alternative use for an Apple II. Other than booze, what made you get it in the first place?

And yet, still more reputable than most other news sources you see on social media.

Well geez, I didn't know it was that kinda of forum...

4. Isn’t it amusing to hear anime characters speak english on the original track?

I find it neat, actually. It kinda comes across as slang to me.

Posted by Swingball

5. Can you speak Nihonga?

---

No ma'am.

Did you bite me on the inside of my left thigh while I was sleeping? It's itching.

---

I make it a policy to stay far away from the thighs of everyone Kafuka, thank you.

That day can be today.

1. Robbie, can you read so we can finish our reading session so we can leave?! Because it’s a refrigerator in here and the lighting is terrible!

Once upon a time there was a little bear who had no friends and then they found some friends and everyone was happy. The End.

Digital or CD, depending on what you do.

Posted by Danika

Ever wanted one of those CD changers that could take like 100 discs?

The day I considered it was the day it was obsolete.

What would you say is the CPU speed of the computer that rendered this video? Around 1MHz or so?

---

Fast enough.

3. I can’t advance beyond the Limit Line unless you know the programming for Boundary Passthrough. Do you know the programming for it?

---

Yes. Yes, of course I do.

Dani, are you Catwoman yet?
