Why must the best “self sufficient” day end like this? Why does it feel like everything is falling down around me again. Why do I hate myself right now? I got loads done today it doesn’t even make sense. I don’t even know

Homeless shelter ends ban on transgender women
A judge in Washington, D.C. last week ordered that New Hope Ministries, which operates the John L. Young Shelter for Women, end its policy barring transgender women from seeking services at the shelter.
The decision comes after trans woman Lakiesha Washington was denied access to the homeless shelter and filed a restraining order as part of a lawsuit accusing the shelter of violating D.C.’s Human Rights Act. In addition to lifting the ban, shelter staff will also be trained in trans sensitivity, and plans are in the works to improve bathroom access and comfort for trans residents.
D.C. Trans Coalition member Andy Bowen, who filed a separate complaint against the John Young Shelter with the D.C. Office of Human Rights charging anti-transgender discrimination, told the Blade that she has dropped her complaint based on the latest actions by New Hope Ministries.
“D.C. has great nondiscrimination laws, but good laws do not equal adequate enforcement,” Bowen said in a statement. “This case showed the need for more vigilant enforcement, and if D.C. Trans Coalition has anything to do with it, enforcement’s gonna happen.”
Progress comes one step at a time, and this is an important one.

today my friend said that he was going to do an impersonation of a gay man and i got ready for some homophobic high pitched comment about clothes but instead he just said in the exact same tone without expression “i am attracted to men”

I hate myself.
Even in a world where people purposely kill, injure and hurt each other, I hate myself.
I know I’m better than these people, but I don’t feel it. I feel like I’m the scum of the earth, that I have no purpose, that everyone is better than me and there’s nothing I can do to better myself. I hate myself, I don’t want to be alive anymore. I don’t want to be here. I’m useless, why should I be here?
I can’t even help my girlfriend, the person that means the most to me. If anything I make everything worse for her. What kind of person does that? Even if I don’t mean it I do

At least 3 times every week I want to hurt myself.
I lie awake for hours wanting to hit, cut and bruise myself. To hurt myself in any form possible.
But I don’t.
I don’t because I will never forget the day I found cuts on my girlfriend’s stomach. I will never forget how finding them made me feel sick to the bottom of my stomach.
How knowing that she had felt this way and hadn’t felt like she could talk to me, that she was alone, that this was the only option she felt she had hit me like I had drove at full speed into a brick wall.
That’s why I don’t, because as much as I hate myself, I could never hurt her by hurting me.
