I recommend violence. Also sex. But, not at the same time.
Also, what the the best "beginning" (as in new player characters) adventure you have played in? (What ruleset was it for?)
Sigh I would like sex...I avoid violence in cases like this...I don't know if I would be able to stop.
Every time I start a new character it is always a good beginning...because of each new character brings new hope for me.

I have. Unfortunately they are usually tied to a published (thus copyrighted) setting.

Now to bring things down. :(
I had my immediate supervisor at work flat out state that LGBT people are "mentally ill." And, as a CIS male, I didn't know how to handle that.
What could I have said? :(
Sigh.
I dont get the last part...What lead to this conversation? Why are being a CIS male matter in their ignorant stance?
Contact HR. Or just ignore it unless you see this person treating a LGBTQ+ person badly or they keep talking about this topic to you.

Also one of the things that causes me depression is is my lack of romance in my life. It something I am terribly shy about and also something I need to be able to be more open with gender with.
I seek escapes thru RPG as all my characters tend to be romantic(which is why the thing with L5R probably hurt a lot). Bit I found a new escape for this in a App game/story called Lovestruck. I have been playing alot of it this week.

That's why I can't really go to HR. We were discussing politics; and his comment was in response to why he dislike the Democrats.
I did, however, abruptly walk away.

Because I am presumed to share certain attitudes. In fairness, I am not as "progressive" as perhaps I should be.

This I can, and will do, if it continues to be a problem. I think he got the message.

Something I do a lot with people who don't that I am trans is to bring up such topics in causal conversation. See how they may react.
A lot people I have found do not have a 'progressive' attitudes I have found no matter how far left they appear to be. Sure they may pay lip service due 'Liberal Peer Pressure' but I have found most 'allies' to be more enemies .
From a co-worker calling gender reassignment surgery mutilation to a family member 'believing' Trans people as being mentally ill.
I pretty much come out to people on blind faith. And very few people have shown any real support...mostly I get lip service, but people's actions speak louder than words. From conversations behind my back, to treating me like a guy, etc.
@Lord Fyre: I mentioned the above so you will understand when I say this. Labels are meaningless...'Progressive' I have found to be so much hot air. Like most political opinions it has become one line catch phases.
So when I came out here on the boards you have shown much more support that I would say 90% of my friends have shown me. Nah don't worry about being 'progressive' you are good as yourself.

However, I know that I am still mildly sexist (Bikinis ARE armor!)

Yes, but if I was associating with you physically, rather then virtually, I might still have problems (forgetting and treating you like a guy for instance) because you are unable to look feminine. Gender affirming therapy is not covered by most insurance, but really should be (as it is important to mental health).
Because of the magic of the internet, you can be who you really are because physical appearance doesn't matter.

Don't get me wrong I expect there to be a adjustment period for people who knew me before coming out to them.
And sure people I know virtually have a 'advantage I suppose.
And I really need to find better friends...and I am probably waaay to understanding and tolerant.
My point is I guess I rather deal with people who are honest about their faults and try to be better than people who try to act perfect and don't believe they need to change.

I'm just going to drop this here ...
Sigh...

It's pretty easy to make, it's frugal, and it's crunchy like the hot dog version of a chicken nuggets. I imagine you could split the dog nearly though with a knife first, slide in some thinly sliced cheese (or whatever you prefer), and then spear it with toothpicks to hold it together when you roll it in ketchup and bread crumbs. Crushed up potato chips in place of the breadcrumbs would probably work too.
