Well as a half successful coming out person could I just give you some advice. In China I have no idea whether you know that coming out is really really hard and actually 90% of Chinese gays will marry a girl they don't like at all. But in China a man must marry a girl and set up a family because that is the most important thing of a man in China, or say, traditional Chinese thoughts. And the second thing is that many of us(I mean at the same age with us) are the only person in a Chinese family so we need to have our next generation. Well don't feel surprised because this is true. That are the background Then unfortunately(I mean for many Chinese family) I am the only child in my family. My mother was wondering how my life would be nice when I entered university and found a girlfriend and married and had a great family. I came out to my father first. I was brought up(I don't know if I should use past tense) by my father, when I entered high school I communicated with my father a lot so he might find some differences on me, I am his child after all. And in the day I became an adult I wrote a letter to him that his son is a gay. He didn't say anything because I was going to take the most important examination of a Chinese people's life----gaokaoAfter that we didn't say anything about it until one day I want to talk to him about it. I told him, yes I am a gay and I know it's hard to accept but the sexual orientation could not be changed. I can have a good life even if I am a gay, I said, "I couldn't be happy when I am with the person I don't like. What you want is that I can have a happy life, right? Then I would be happy when I am with a man who I love, you can't say I wouldn't have a good life when I am a gay."And he said, "well I have thought it thoroughly and I don't oppose it as long as you can live your own life well. "It's amazing! You will know that your parents love you no matter who you are. As for my mother, she is still in accepting time but I think she will make it. That's why I said half successful in the first. And at last I want to say what I have gone through didn't represent many people, it is just my experience and you wanna come out, you should prepare well, but people who loves you will continue to love you no matter what you have chenged. Good luck\U0001f618

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does prall the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer.

Definitely ask for a psychologist referral!  You want someone on your side who can understand your issues and be willing and eager to advocate for you with the beancounters because disability can be rather hard to get some places, like just south of the border in America.Having a psychologist means you have a more qualified specialist filling out your papers (which is a positive for you and for the government), and it means you can be seeing someone who can get to know your issues in greater depth and expertise for further government and non-profit organization provided aid.If seeing a psychologist on a regular basis is still too difficult for you, start with your initial appointment and then perhaps build up a rapport with a good therapist through distanced appointments (like via telephone, if that is easier) until you can be going into a physical office.  It would probably look good on the form if your psychologist can truthfully state that you are currently seeking regular treatment for your disorders because of how serious and debilitating they are.I don't know how disability in Canada works, but I have gone through the process in the US, and specifically for anxiety and depression, like you.  Don't settle for a reluctant or wishywashy doctor or psychologist, especially when it comes to obtaining the resources for basic survival.  I also advise doing some internet searches on how to persuasively file for disability in Canada.  Be prepared to fight for your case through an appeal, if it should come to that, and understand the requirements and processes involved in applying for disability by reading government literature and reviewing success stories on discussion websites.

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not prmuch of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Years ago I worked at document management company.  There is cool software that can automate aspects of hand-written forms.  We had an airport as a customer - they scanned plenty and (as I said before) this was several years ago...On your airport customs forms, the "boxes" that you 'need' to write on - are basically invisible to the scanner - but are used because then us humans will tend to write neater and clearer which make sit easier to recognize with a computer.  Any characters with less than X% accuracy based on a recognition engine are flagged and shown as an image zoomed into the particular character so a human operator can then say "that is an "A".   This way, you can rapidly go through most forms and output it to say - an SQL database, complete with link to original image of the form you filled in.If you see "black boxes" at three corners of the document - it is likely set up for scanning (they help to identify and orient the page digitally).  If there is a unique barcode on the document somewhere I would theorize there is an even higher likelihood of it being scanned - the document is of enough value to be printed individually which costs more, which means it is likely going to be used on the capture side.   (I've noticed in the past in Bahamas and some other Caribbean islands they use these sorts of capture mechanisms, but they have far fewer people entering than the US does everyday)The real answer is: it depends.  Depending on each country and its policies and procedures.  Generally I would be surprised if they scanned and held onto the paper.   In the US, they proably file those for a set period of time then destroy them, perhaps mining them for some data about travellers. In the end,  I suspect the "paper-to-data capture" likelihood of customs forms ranges somewhere on a spectrum like this:Third world Customs Guy has paper to show he did his job, paper gets thrown out at end of shift. ------  We keep all the papers! everything is scanned as you pass by customs and unique barcodes identify which flight/gate/area the form was handed out at, so we co-ordinate with cameras in the airport and have captured your image.  We also know exactly how much vodka you brought into the country. :)

I try to answer all sincere A2A questions and I am sure most folks are not going to like what I say, but here goes.Today it is standard, even fashionable, to come out and there are many benefits.At the same time, I am (more accurately “was”) transsexual and for me my coming out was to drop the bullshit role of pretending to be any kind of boy. The morning I left my apartment, as I started the official 24/7/365/and-for-the-rest-of-my-life, I came OUT, except I was not sending out announcements. My walk to the bus stop and going to work where they expected me, Virginia, to show up was my coming out.For most LGB people and I am an L so I know a bit about this, coming out is announcing to the world your sexual preference. For a T, it is announcing who you are. LGB usually don’t have dead names. They don’t have to completely switch their clothing. They don’t have anywhere near as many identity documents to process. They don’t begin to speak a different “dialect” (femmese, to coin a word). LGB people may feel more at ease and can introduce their “roommate” as someone they share more than an apartment with—they share a bed.The trans person also lives honestly and it’s why I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I hear that after coming out as my self, I have to come out again as “trans.” I hear from people who are announcing their trans-ness, “I didn’t come out of one closet to go back into another!” Everyone has the right to follow the path to wherever it leads them, but in my view the phrase I just cited has it exactly right, but not in the way the speaker intended.By coming out a second time is when I am back in the closet.For years transsexuals were thrown under the bus by the straight-acting politicos of the LGB who want cis het approval for various legislation. The Human Rights campaign only recently began mending fences with T-people who were an embarrassment to the LGB and therefore thwarted LGB political aims. Even today there are vocal elements in the LGB who want to disassociate themselves the the TQ+ folks. The reason the “T” is in LGBTQ+ is that the LGB is fighting for freedom from mindless persecution by the heterosexual majority. Like NATO, we may be very different, but we are all stronger when we are united, but we are not always understood.Many do not get that we come out when we transition and that’s it! Our presentation speaks for itself. I either pass or I don’t, but I’m not doing to make an issue of it.When I enter the ladies room, I have never been challenged nor has anyone batted so much as an eyelash. To me that’s coming out. The so-called “bathroom bills” was to put people of transition into the awkward position of using a restroom that does not match up with who they are. They are trying to force people into a closet—albeit a water closet.What I don’t do when I enter a ladies room is to yell, “Hey! I transitioned 43 years ago! Thought you’d like to know! Just being honest!” As if 43 years of living as my authentic self is some sort of lie or needs to be explained.Edward R. Morrow said, “A man lives a life, not an apology.” The same can be said of women.Do I tell people about my past? Hell yes, but very few and usually only other people of transition or who are caregivers or to the government through my SSI.Narratives are private and not for the curious or the prurient to dig through, dissect, and publicly discuss. I would sooner cop to having ladies parts than to say I was “transgender.” Mock and others (and I greatly respect her) says she’s trans and refuses to say if she had lady parts. Maybe we can be right on both scores. Neither question should be asked nor answers demanded nor expected.From the Rubaiyat,The Moving Finger writes, and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor WitShall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.If we tell others things about ourselves, we can’t call it back. What people will do with our story or how they will distort and twist it and choose to think on it is out of our control.Who needs to know about coming out as “T”? Absolutely everyone, but they will learn it not though our words but through our deeds.
