This also isn't necessarily trans-positive in itself. They're just saying the case doesn't have strong enough ground to sue because the plaintiff didn't bring enough evidence to court. Basically, that could mean that, rather than not wanting to do the case, they feel that there is insufficient information given to do so. By leaving the suit be, it also leaves no precedent for future cases to be built off of. This just leaves holes for court to get messier in the future. Precedent is essential in all types of cases. Giving a ruling, one way or another, would be pretty essential to building cases of the same nature in the future. By letting this go, they aren't really supporting trans people -- they're just dismissing the issue all together, which, in reality, doesn't help either side of it. -

I don't personally agree with people opting out of LGBT education, but I suppose it would depend on the context it was taught in. Parents do have the right to opt their children out of sex ed and such for various reasons, so if it was taught in line with sex ed (which would make sense, as those classes also cover puberty as well as sometimes relationship health, so it would be about in-line with how heterosexual students are taught about their own types of relationships), I would understand them then being able to opt out. Similarly, parents often have options to opt their child out of reading books with "disturbing" content, so if the novels chosen for LGBT discussion have a large focus on homophobia/etc., an opt-out option might be made available due to the intensity of the content rather than the content itself. I've seen these for books like To Kill a Mockingbird and All-American Boys that discuss racism in-depth, as some parents might not be comfortable with their child/teenager reading intense content. I disagree with the choices to opt-out of reading these books since I think they're important, but I do understand why they're provided. So, I think whether an opt-out option would be provided for these topics would depend on the way that they were presented. I didn't see anything in the article saying where the topics were being presented (though correct me if I'm wrong). Are they being talked about in sex ed or in content that may be considered disturbing? In that case, it wouldn't necessarily be LGBT-phobic legislation, per se -- It's about in line with what is in line for dozens of topics. -

I feel much better after a nice nap, breakfast, and a cup of tea. I go to see a specialist today at the hospital, so I won't be at the day-centre till this afternoon. ☺️ -

G'morning! Green tea for my morning beverage. My mom made me eat breakfast so I could take a pill... and now I feel sick, thanks to my weird stomach .-. Stomach issues aside, I signed up for a story gift exchange a little while ago and just got in the story with four minutes to spare! Liiiiittle close for comfort, but, hey, it's in! We're at that point in the school year where we aren't doing much. AP testing is done for my history class, so we're watching a WWII film rn (Dunkirk). My college course is already over as well (the semester ends earlier), so I've really only got two classes to worry about, and one of those is an art class. Lowest stress I've had all year. -

Which emotion seems to be the strongest in your life and is it good or bad? -
-
By Heather Shay · Posted
Emotional exhaustion is a feeling of being emotionally drained or overextended by one's work, or as a result of continual stress from challenging or adverse events in life. It's a symptom of burnout, which is a chronic state of physical and emotional depletion that can result from excessive work or personal demands. -

Frustrating day yesterday..... It seems the centre had used the "lack of enough prep time", and "you must get a full shower to be able to attend" to basically get their way. It is what it is, because I basically have no defence. I did mention that female participants are scheduled with enough time for their hair and makeup, but their response was of course, "you are not female." I can either abide by the rules or leave the program. I did file a complaint yesterday about years of excruciating pain I endured in my leg that their doctor accused me of "inventing" because I "didn't have anything wrong with it." And how after vascular surgery the horrible pain has finally departed. How it is absolutely absurd that medical professionals can minimise someone's pain like it doesn't exist. Their reply, "well, at least your were finally seen by a specialist and taken care of." The meeting did not go well! So starting today I have two options. Either cut my hair off or wear it in a ponytail. I shall go with the ponytail. I will also let my hair grow until it reaches my hips, and I told them that as well. As long as it's in a ponytail at will be acceptable.
