Wait one of them is saying they will sign in when they get home from school. To me that implies high school cause people in college usually say "class". I know there is no training or anything but really? They have highschool students on the lines?
Laverne is thinking: "Fucking smelly weirdos. Why won't security kick them out?"At least he's still out there trying to be a starfucker

"who are these faggots?" Laverne Cox, November 6 2016.
300 calls? So on one of the objectively most important days of their entire existence and they answer roughly a third of their calls? I'm worried for my trans friends that keep signal boosting this scamline.
Do these people really think that the US is going to turn into a North Korea-like surveillance state? Even for these people that's exceptional
Powerlevel horseshit:
I have a few trans / gay friends, and after seeing advice to call TLL floating around, messaged said friends telling them to under no circumstances call TLL. Usually I keep my peace, but I don't want to end up with a dead friend because they called a scam and got dead air. I'd rather get a hundred teary phone calls at 3 am than to have Greta's jaunting around with knives threatening people lead to another death.
It was fucked up to see this awful scam be put into lists of "omg dont kill you are self call this number instead" going around Facebook in the past 24 hours. TLL doesn't even pick up the phone most of the time, and their posted hours had ended by the time people really started flipping out on the internet. And now they're making themselves the center of attention, taking the opportunity to pat themselves on the back.
An answered call rate of 1/3 is pretty fucking dismal, and not something I'd be bragging about.
Im convinced theres some regulations they are violating in California regarding crisis centers.Powerlevel horseshit:

At the Trans Lifeline we were devastated to hear that eight people — many of whom were teens — died by suicide last night after election results announced that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States. We are reaching out to the families to offer support and condolences.
Trans people are among many people who are mourning today. We know that communities of color, muslims, immigrants, and many other groups are feeling the betrayal, sadness, and fear that comes with living in a country where a majority of people voted for a leader who hates you. It is personal. It is tragic. But it is not the end.
Trans Lifeline has received over 350 calls from trans people in crisis, including many suicidal people. Our trans-identified operators are working hard to offer support, guidance, and hope through this difficult time. We’ve answered a staggering 115 calls in 24 hours, demonstrating that we are here for each other. It may feel right now as though hate won out, but we know that love is more powerful.
Even though many in the trans community are giving everything they have to support each other, we have a long way to go to meet the need of trans people in crisis. We need to hire additional staff to train, support, and lead our volunteers. If we can raise 100K this month, then we can hire three full-time staff people to do this life-saving work. Please give now if you can.
