I went to the doctor since I've been sick for two weeks now, my entire break seeing my family has sucked, and now my ribs are very sore from all this coughing. It hurts so much that I feel like crying every time I cough, and I can hardly walk now. I have some prescription from the doc, but it hasn't started actually doing anything yet

My boss went through the accounts for the past two years, and realized that he didn't actually earn zip.

This doesn't bode well for me.

D:

That's ... that's so... horrible? Bad luck?

(pats Truean)

[hugs] thankies

Worst first date ever. He put his hand down the back of my pants. I pointed my taser right on top of his crotch. He stopped and I ran.

My life would be so much easier if I liked girls. Gross sexual battery makes for a great night.... First date. Really?

I realize that having pulled the trigger would have introduced a number of legal complications that you are more aware of than I am, but I can't help but think of it as a somewhat karmatic response.

[Skyrunner]

It could partially be covered under self defense, no?


Also, if you did pull the trigger, there's a good chance you could be shocked too xD

I know I could've gotten myself out of anything law related. That's not the issue. The issue is I don't want anyone to know I'm gay/trans or whatever. Filing a police report about this would be a surefire way to have that happen. I feel pissed and sad and violated and used, and a definite lack of happy. Part of me thinks shocking myself would've been worth it to get him at that point. Next time, just gun....

The answer is clear, bullet to the crotch.

Why would filing a police report for this cause anyone to know you are gay/trans? o_o
I don't understand...

Because he was on a date with a man? And I'm assuming that Truean physically looks like a man...

That's awful, Truean. I'm really sorry.

Yes basically, and unfortunately, because the cruelest thing in the world is humanity.

That's ok. This is one of those things I realize and expect straight people not to understand about being closeted and gay/trans.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are two sets of laws: one for straight people and one for gay people. The straight people have it better. Imagine two young people caught making out in a public parking lot in a car. The results practically are far different when it's a boy and a girl instead of two boys. Though many police and straight guys in general seem oddly enough completely cool with lesbians. Go figure.

A police report is a public record. If I filed a gross sexual battery charge against a man, he would invariably defend himself against it. Part of that defense would be consent: that we were on a date. This would make the details of everything public. We arranged to meet, have dinner, have him pay for it, etc. The groping was far, far from planned.... Though good luck proving that. This could easily be made to look like a "hook up," where this sorta thing happens consensually.... Public spectacle in a court room being transcribed by a lovely woman with a lovely little type writer called a court stenographer. Then of course there's usually a reporter or two creeping around court houses, usually some local paper or something. That'll get somewhere on page 24 of some forgotten section of the subscription they sell, but it's in print....

Then of course being an attorney, people I work with and against are other attorneys who regularly look up court records.... Forgetting all of that, the time my sister the thing that doesn't breathe in my general direction tried to blackmail me for money and numerous other things with this knowledge she did everything she could to get something on record saying I was gay including trying to say one of her friend's kids was mine/getting me to pay child support for it.... (Blood test wasn't really necessary but it proved that notion clearly wrong). I "persuaded" her she had numerous reasons to never speak of it again or so much as think of a thought related to the general gist of it. She hasn't; she won't. You know I used to be "such a nice boy...."

Bigotry has real costs. It's just that you don't see them.

Some more minor sadness:

I have to  translate about 9900 characters (or half that of individual letters, because two characters is one letter) into English, and 8753 after 4 hours, mainly because I couldn't concentrate Dx

I think I'm going to miss my deadline today...

I'm sorry, that sounds kinda bad. What can I say? Hopefully just keep chipping away at it bit by bit.

COME ON SKYRUNNER

YOU CAN DO IT

THERE WILL BE MUCH REJOICING AFTER IT IS FINISHED

If it helps motivating ya, think about the memetic potential it brings.

Sorry about the date, Truean. I know that some people are more open about broaching intimacy than others... and know a fair number of people who are used to sleeping with others prior to that whole "getting to know one another" stage. He might have been used to quick hookups, and odds are was looking primarily for that, rather than a relationship.

Now, I don't have the full context, but I think the threat of crotch-tasering might have been a tad overreactive. It might have been enough to have taken his hand off you, said no, briefly explain your stance, and tried to move on... but judging by what you've said the guy was probably not worth it. Just something to keep in mind for the future?
