Interesting timing. I just put this to the test last night... turns out the answer is no.

I stepped on a rattle snake once, and I randomly decided to climb up a smooth cliff face with no equipment 3000 feet in the air because it was faster than walking. Didn't quite realize it at the time, but like... yeah not smart.

I've never had too many problems. I used to watch like a 10 minute let's play after I got in bed, and had my computer set to automatically shut down when it ended. Lately, I started watching longer videos, and wrote a little program to slowly turn the volume down over the course of 10 minutes...

I don't get this personally. The problem isn't plastic surgery, it's how our society tells people they should look. First we show people this impossible version of beauty, tell them that this is what they should want, and then tell them that they're wrong for trying to fit that image. Condemning...

I've never taken one online, but my school made me take one in 2nd grade with an actual Psychiatrist, and I scored 152. I feel like that number has been steadily dropping as I get older though. lol IQ tests aren't particularly trustworthy imo, especially online tests. They gauge a very specific...

INTP Introvert(78%) iNtuitive(88%) Thinking(25%) Perceiving(11%) I've taken this a few times, and get the same result every time. Never read the description for INTP though, and as it turns out it describes me pretty much exactly. lol

Oh, :o what do I get?

Hai, I changed it to Alice. :3

Well, technically if you went all out with all the fancy surgeries and whatnot, you could probably spend upwards of $100,000 or more, but it's really not necessary. I know what you mean about the feeling getting stronger as you get older. When I was younger it was "girls are neat", then it was...

That's not actually the case. She was denied transition entirely. The surgery is a completely optional thing that she wouldn't get for at least a year or two after completing her transition (So probably the 19-20 range at the earliest). In fact, most trans people don't get surgery at all. I...

We're all saying exactly the same thing, but interpreting it differently. It doesn't really matter if they were ignorant or not. Plus, this isn't really a situation in which communication is even possible. Leelah told them what she wanted multiple times, and they denied her multiple times. I...

Ehh, I think that's too strong. Realistically, the best we can probably hope for is something along the lines of child abuse, if anything. I do think Negligent Manslaughter fits best myself, but murder isn't quite accurate. There are specific things that they did that make this a crime in my...

I actually do agree with you. Love and compassion are the most effective vehicles of change. However, I do think a crime was committed, and they should be tried accordingly. Had this been some random bullies driving her to suicide, I'd be less inclined to call it a crime, but these were her...

In some ways, it seems a bit harsh, but Negligent Manslaughter seems to fit quite nicely. So long as Leelah was under 18, her parents had a duty to take care of her. Had they simply rejected her desire to transition, that would be one thing. But they abused her, and intentionally prevented her...

I appreciate the offer, but if you're going through the same thing, the last thing you need is to hear what I have to say. I don't want to spread any more misery.
