I recommend reading about the relationship escalator . although it’s a tool primarily aimed at poly people, even monogamous people can benefit from learning about how you’re allowed to not consent to societal norms.
TLDR: only you can decide if you wanna move in with her, if at all. letting other people tell you how to organize your relationship will only end in misery
I actually agree with bigots that we are dangerous as trans people (to cisheteronormative society). the caveat is that we shouldn’t give a fuck what they think since conforming to a violent society doesn’t benefit trans people. it’s why marginalizing pedophiles doesn’t make child rape go away, because they’re just a scapegoat for all the normal people and parents without any sexual attraction to their victims abusing children because of the power hierarchy
idk, there’s some truth to what you’re saying but I don’t think all those TERF women wanna abuse women’s spaces. it’s just socially beneficial for them to hate us because society encourages anti-queer violence. and that’s the part that puts women’s spaces in danger, being a minority. same for any marginalized identity
hard pill to swallow, but anyone allowing pedophiles to be treated as an underclass is part of falling for anti-queer propaganda and equating being weird with being dangerous to society. if someone has a weird paraphilia that isn’t forced on someone else who can’t consent then it’s nobody’s business. the only way to eliminate uncomfortable attractions is thought police or installing a chip in everyone’s brains.
it’s why queer spaces turn fashy as soon as the furries, the neopronouns and the trans man lesbians aren’t welcome anymore
it’s all part of the childist propaganda that says only people from outside of the family could ever hurt children when reality says otherwise. hence the church calling themselves God’s family, priests being called father, paternalistic bs like that
no, what you want is audiobookbay
they have a great point though because the courts are simply an extension of the police state. these are the same courts that are more likely to give a harsher sentence to Black men than their white counterparts. From the USSC:
Black male offenders continued to receive longer sentences than similarly situated White male offenders. Black male offenders received sentences on average 19.1 percent longer than similarly situated White male offenders
you can’t be racist against white people since we invented racism
more like white Americans
One major difference is that Romania is much more racially homogenous than America.
The legal system in the States is descended from the chattel slavery era (similar to Romania), but America also is obsessed with prosperity gospel from Evangelical Christianity. When you combine these 2 factors, you get a system where anytime a conflict happens, you have no community resolution to rely upon. Anyone who can’t enact justice on their own is seen as weak, that’s why you see so many school shootings happen. I’d say they’re not only a symptom of white supremacy but also of collapsed social cohesion.
Sure, America is definitely more litigious but that’s kinda what happens when you don’t have legislation for tenant rights, labor rights, healthcare, racial justice, etc. Your only options left are to either pay a lawyer if you’re privileged enough, take matters into your own hands or seek a communal solution.
Communal solutions are very unlikely to be pursued in a state that despises social welfare solutions to social problems. During FDR’s presidency, America was seen as the golden age of American history due to better than usual material conditions at the expense of non-white people being excluded from these welfare programs. Thus, the “welfare queen” stereotype was created to demonize Black women simply for wanting to enjoy the same level of prosperity that their white counterparts were. You can see a similar pattern of violence emerging in the EU when white people invent a “white replacement” myth as soon as white people drop below 90% in a given neighborhood. Said neighborhood gets labeled as a “refugee hellscape” and gets segregated from mainstream society as to not infect “the civilized white culture”. You also see this manifesting in Romania as “lawless”(according to white society) Romani ghettos that are systemically segregated from mainstream society. Romani people having no choice but to rely on internal solutions get labeled as barbaric, white Romanians doing the same thing get called heroes.
Courts everywhere are much more likely to side with the abuser, what America does a bit differently is that they industrialize their police force to lock up as many people as possible since that keeps the existing hierarchies in place. Romania is more keen on sweeping violence under the rug because that way it’s cheaper to rely on local mobs of men against women, whites against Romani, rich vs poor, etc. to uphold the police state. There’s also the fact that the Romanian state is more corrupt in a not wanting to enforce laws way and they benefit from receiving bribes or turning the other way when a problem is brought up.
TLDR: poverty and racism means you can’t afford to be litigious. It’s mostly middle class and higher white people in both countries who enjoy the privilege of being litigious. Even the poor white people who wanna sue end up bankrupt from legal fees or have to crowdfund for legal costs.

you could probably use a fit-tested elastomeric respirator to filter out those particles!
I think a P100 filter should be able to take care of your problem, as I’ve heard many people use them for allergies.
there’s also the added bonus of COVID/insert pathogen protection since airports and airplanes are a leading cause of super-spreaders
