Living in 3019.

creating diagnoses and then rendering them useless because patients with them are pain patients

not treating pain patients due to the political climate

She said she practiced this technique like 5 times in her office before she requested a meeting with her boss. I’m gonna share it with you guys because I really loved it.

You start off by thanking your employer for their support (whatever that means in the context of your work environment). You then say that you would like to take some time to discuss next year’s salary. You say, allow me to refresh your memory regarding some of my accomplishments or contributions from the past year, and you present a written summary of all that you’ve done. You close by saying, I hope that next year’s salary reflects this list of contributions and you thank them for their time and see yourself out.

I just loved how she made it seem so much less daunting of a task. She said not to underestimate your achievements as women have a tendency underreporting what they’ve done.

I am writing on this post again for two reasons.  First, is to acknowledge that this reply I made to this well over three years ago, was pretty dumb and was coming from someone who was in a primarily male dominated environment (the military) and this was the legally established way of referring to women in that setting, and the reasoning for it.  Our government decided that “female” was the safest way to refer to women.  I am not using that as an excuse though, the original post is totally correct, it is creepy and dehumanizing, and I apologize for my ignorance and trying to defend a life style, and unfortunately the military is a life style, that I can now see is horribly toxic.  I am proud to say that I am no longer in active duty, and after a long period of transition and self acceptance, I’m no longer part of that toxic life style either.  I am far more aware person than I was three years ago.  Aware of my privilege, the shit my society puts minorities through, and that it needs to change.  

The other reason I am writing this is because quite out of the blue this post got some how resurrected and I began receiving direct messages saying everything from “how small are your balls?” to “I’m so sad you haven’t killed yourself yet.”  One “unwoke” comment on a post over three years old is enough to message someone telling them to kill themself?  If there is any other reason for it I would love to know what I could have done on this site to warrant that, but this post has been the most controversial thing I’ve ever posted, and these messages only began after @bulbasaurfan93 @question-why-not and @manie-sans-delire-x commented and brought this post back.  I don’t know how it reached them, or why, but I would like to ask everyone who has been sending hateful messages to me over a three year old post that stemmed from obliviousness to please think twice over doing so.  

and i have to apologise

i’ve seen the error of my ways

straight boys are not ’weak and pathetic’
