Some employees at the Department of Education changed their responses back to the more neutral language, only to have it changed yet again to the partisan response, multiple sources tell WIRED.

I wish it was as easy as just bailing. I very much want to, but I can't afford it, and with the coming depression, I especially won't be able to afford it.

Only gets worse the longer you leave it. Myself and many friends I have met along the way one day just did it, with nothing. Within two years, things are so much better than if they were spent in the same situation. The worse that can happen is you just go back to what you have now. So what you have now is the worse-case scenario.

Edit: Oh, I mean there's cavets to that, obviously. Like you could get ruined. But that's why less likely than getting ruined by a drunk driver or something. Point is, what you have control of will always end up how you imagined.

Nowhere in could get in would have my unskilled trans ass. Some of us genuinely have no choice but to sit and wait to either win or die
