  • I got my new birth certificate in September this year so it is still possible, although I’m in a blue state (Minnesota). You should still be able to get a court order to change your name at least, and maybe sex but that really depends on your state. Even though you can’t update federal documents now, you should still be able to use those court orders later.

    Also if you have mismatching info you can use the court orders to show what’s correct. I did that when I got my passport last year since I only had my name change order at the time so I didn’t bother to get a new birth certificate then.






  • I got a CS degree earlier this year. I’m Autistic and am genuinely really passionate about it. I’ve put out hundreds of applications and got 1 interview but was ultimately rejected. I’ve tried applying to retail positions, even with a dumbed down resume so I don’t look overqualified, and they don’t want me either. I’m extremely low on money and I’ve been getting really bad panic attacks lately. I don’t even know what to do anymore.








  • I am not proud of it, but I used to be like that when I was around 11 to 13. Seeing right wingers bully the pokémon go kid turned me away from them and now I’m a socialist.

    I did loathe myself so much back then. I know now I was experiencing gender dysphoria but I didn’t know what it was then so it just made me confused and angry. I learned about the existence of transgender people from transphobes which just made me hate myself more.

    So yes this a definitely a thing. I am not sure how you would discover this about someone while they are still in the self loathing stage, but I know of people in the self acceptance stage (myself included) who have talked about how they were like that in the past.







  • I just recently graduated with a CS bachelors. Honestly I didn’t learn too much in college either. Most stuff that was taught in college was stuff I already knew from learning Java on my own so I could make Minecraft mods as a tween.

    I wish that modern and widely used frameworks, libraries, etc were something that were taught at college but unfortunately you have to teach yourself this stuff. Right now I am working on and nearly finished with a Spring Boot + React project to add to my portfolio and I had to teach myself both of those. Whatever it is you want to learn, there should be docs and plenty of tutorials out there for it.
