I’ve posted these before, but it seems especially relevant and a little more important now.
I started HRT at 29 after a lot of hard living.

you literally copied this from the library of babel too i don't want to hear it
I am still absolutely obsessed with the slur song. Some poor HR manager in Aotearoa has no idea they inadvertently created the gay pride banger of the century. It's everything "Born This Way" was trying to be.
Of all the enemies to lovers arcs, Australia and New Zealand joining forces to create one of the biggest club hits of the year out of a workplace training module about slurs was certainly not on our 2025 bingo card
This is made with love, please listen if you don’t believe me. It sounds nuts that an employee training module would be so incredibly hilarious, but here we are. Here’s a link to it in YouTube. All proceeds go to LGBTQ+ charities.
The only time I’ll intentionally put this language on my blog, but it’s such a banger…
Also let this be a lesson to other HR folks; listing everything you *shouldn’t* say is a baaaad idea (unless you go viral and get turned into a charity song.)
I think there's something to be said that saying the words "Deny, Defend, Depose, you're next" to an insurance sales rep can get you arrested for 'threats of mass homicide' or whatever with a threat of 15 years in prison
But when I was a manager in a fast food restaurant I've had customers throw food at me, demand for my personal phone number with an added threat of "Well I'll just have to FIND it", customers charging past the front counter to physically intimidate me and my coworkers, screaming and swearing, demands to know what time I get out of work, demands to know when my manager would be at work as a threat, people sitting in their car waiting for me to finish closing because they were angry at me, causing me to stay in the office watching the camera waiting for them to drive away...
But none of those incidents are arrest-able offenses, not one, any time I called the cops on any customer I would just hear excuses like "
"there isn't anything illegal about calling a restaurant", that nothing physical happened and therefore there's nothing they could do, to call back and let them know if anything else happens
Idk, just think it's A TEENY TINY BIT ODD
Cop in the news goes "words have consequences" as if people don't berate and threaten fast food and retail workers every day
Since I started using a wheelchair, I have had exactly one (1) flight where an airline didn’t break the law.
The question isn’t “Are airlines breaking the law?” They absolutely are, on almost every flight. The questions are “Does the wheelchair user know their rights?” (most don’t), and “Are they physically and mentally able to document the violations and report them to the DOT?” (most can’t).
This is absolutely amazing. And it’s great that OP outlines several different levels of protecting yourself against and documenting these illegal actions—because, yeah, not everyone can or wants to go All The Way. But to those who do? We salute you.
Anyway, know your rights when flying, y’all [same source as above, we just wanna highlight it].
For an update since this is all older, the DOT very recently (December 16th, 2024) finally finished up their final rule to protect chair users in a number of ways!
First and foremost, since 2022, there has been the Airline Passenger’s Bill of Rights. Which clearly outlines what rights airline passengers have. Furthermore, the new rule changes which come into effect mid January 2025, require notification, for a passenger whose chair has been mishandled to be allowed to pick their own vendor, requires training and increases fines for mishandled wheelchairs.
This improvement has been a huge win for disability advocates and should hopefully lead to a major improvement in air travel for people in wheelchairs.

Truly the most “miss the point” comment I’ve ever seen on this site about this site, bravo Anon.
hysterectomy should be an informed consent procedure full stop. it should be illegal to deny someone a hysterectomy based on their age or based on them not having kids or based on their spouse/partner not signing off on it. anyone over 18 should be allowed to make that decision.
