Oh yes, without a doubt. What truly matters is equal power dynamics, I’d just generally speaking saying most 30s have a few relationships under their belt, know who they are and what they want.

But even that can go yuck sooooo quick. Like with a 30 and 80 year old, clearly one side has a fetish or finicals the other has.

Once you hit 30 the age gap stops being creepy and becomes a personal life choice. If you were 41 and she was 20, that would be a massive red flag. But she isn’t a young adult anymore, but presumably someone established in who they are and what they want.

If what she wants is you, congrats!

The death toll from Israel supporting Americans exponentially dwarfs the number of Americans harmed by MS-13.

Y’all remember that sub r/YourJokeButWorse?

Oofh. Oh yeah, that one hurts.

Time is a bitch. I disapprove of the whole concept.

Well at least you had one good experience! If they are/were a decent restaurant then sure, makes sense. But to me it seemed like a spectacl restaurant akin to Rainforest Cafe, just something to look at with mediocre food.

But different strokes for different folks. Whatevs. ♥️

When I was 12ish I was taken there by my father to celebrate an extremely awkward family friends 18th birthday. I’ll never understand the appeal of lofi strip clubs, or well, strip clubs at all really?

Maybe I am just too ace for it, but the whole thing just feels uncomfortable and weird at best. Exploitative and depressing at worst.

I feel like there has to be some sort of misunderstanding here. Because I absolutely and abundantly agree, the tariffs are pointless, ridiculous and a giant stab in the Canadian back. All because our idiotic, racist turd of a president somehow got the idea that y’all would be part of the US. It’s ludicrous top to bottom and I’m sorry that our national disgrace is becoming your problem. I don’t agree with him, or his fascist supporters at all.

But I’m not entirely sure how this relates to international law and stateless refugee tho?

Laws are threats by those with power to enforce them. The UN will not threaten the US under any circumstance in any meaningful way. So for them to decide something is illegal is meaningless and, quite literally, of no consequence.

I finished it as a hate read, hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Just a packet of clichés wrapped around nerd nostalgia. I absolutely lost it when a chapter was literally just reciting an 80s movie word for word. 🤣

It doesn’t sound like you do. Problem with authority and a problem with abused authority are two very different things. If you worked well under a kind boss then it’s clear you don’t have a problem with bosses, just with those that are demanding, commanding and micromanaging. Sounds to me like healthy boundaries for your mental health.

She is demanding before she is even your boss. It will only get worse from here.

I agree but we have to acknowledge that it’s not helpful. Like there is nothing MAGA can say or do to make me think they are good people, but if we can at minimum get them to understand the propaganda they swallowed whole we can actually do better, for all of us.

The simple answer is catfishing, but this amount of time and effort dedicated to trying and be perceived as a woman seems like unrealized gender dysphoria and internalized racism. Their own self hate manifesting as external vitriol at out trans folk isn’t even remotely okay, but not unheard of.

…for now.

Yeeeah, I’m kinda surprised people are feeling hype for this? Idk. I’m probably gonna try and snag one but ONLY because a few years ago my ex got the switch in the breakup. If I already had a switch what exactly are the reasons to buy an upgrade?

Please do not listen to anyone saying you can fix your eye sight by praticing.

There is a whole goddamn subculture of those fraudster monsters.

The Ramones were a boy band. Matching outfits and everything.

Even if they’re taking mtf hormones, there’s still a ton of testorone.

This is factually wrong.

Trans women on HRT statistically have far less testosterone than cis women, purely for the reason that it is a hormone all humans create but trans women are actively suppressing it.

I see a lot of mostly correct answers here, but as a trans person myself I can’t help but feel they are all missing the core concept.

People hate trans folk for the same reason “get back in the kitchen” is still said to women in any non-“traditional” role or the “angry black man/woman” is said about anyone advocating for their own rights. There are strict gender and racial roles that are enforced by our society so rigidly, that many have assumed them to be naturally correct laws of the universe. Anyone existing outside of those roles is seen as either mental illness to be corrected or malicious evil-doers wanting to cause trouble.

When in fact the reality is much simpler, that being human is a more diverse expressive and dynamic experience than those holding on to those “natural laws” would like to admit. To exist outside the role you were “assigned” is a threat to society that assigns the roles, ergo a threat to the very way of life for those who see gender, sexual and racial hegemony as innate truths.

Conservatives who hold high tradition are naturally the first to speak out and seek to regulate us back in to “normal society” via legislation but liberals are absolutely not immune. To reduce transphobia to a political wedge issue, while correct, doesn’t quite explain the more innocuous yet quite prevalent transphobia inside left leaning spaces.
