Kinda losing respect for this one guy. He usually does good stuff and runs a little LGBT advocacy charity down in the Midwest. But he had to post on Facebook about how he doesn't really understand trans people, doesn't know if he could see himself as a trans man, if he could consider himself gay if he liked trans men, and why can't people just be masculine/feminine and not "identify" with one gender, etc. He deleted the post before I could write back. I mean, I guess I admire the honestly and I would've been happy to help explain stuff but...gah. What the heck? He otherwise is a pretty good ally, at least superficially. He's helped organize TDOR events, had trans people on his board, etc. So...I dunno. Just seems weird to me. The fact that he deleted it feels cowardly. :dry: I mean, his whole mission when he started his charity was to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues and help educate people about our community. So why not practice what you preach? I mean, he knew that people would be real offended. Not gonna lie, I kind of was. For someone to say "Oh, I don't think I'd be gay if I liked trans men?" Dude! The fuck is that all about? (And in confidence, I can tell you right now that I'm probably a lot more masculine than he is.) But to each their own I guess. But still, if you're gonna admit that's how you feel, why not at least be open to learning something?
When you cry if the first tear comes out of your right eye it means your happy and if the first tear comes out of your left eye it means pain.
Great first day of psychology and im the only sophomore..rest are seniors...only 8 people in my class lol
Fuck. Just realized I made a major typo. -- I hate starting my Monday off with no work. No work means no pay. :dry:
I am thinking about every stupid thing I have said or done that has ruined what might have been a long and meaningful relationship. I recently turned away a very cute girl... I am kind of regretting it now.
I have to spend 20 dollars every week on fast/convenience foods a week to keep my meal plan's bonus dollars from going to total waste. I'm thinking about how screwed my plans for a healthy diet are now.
Someone's bin just flew down the street due to the wind. What an exciting evening this is turning out to be.
Please tell me you're not talking about Beck. He's a real asshole when it comes to "helping" trans people.
Is it weird that I'm glued to election coverage but disgusted by the political commercials in the breaks?
Unlike this woman on Dr. Phil, I'm actually looking forward to "The People vs. OJ Simpson." I understand that your family member was murdered, but in today's day and age, these sorts of things are reality shows that write themselves. The reason they didn't ask your permission to do the series is because the producers knew they'd have to listen to your non-stop histrionics through the entire production process.
Now that I'm actually half-awake, I find myself glued to the computer, watching all the latest transfer dealings, even though I know my club isn't getting involved or signing anybody new. Because of course today's the last day of the transfer window. I don't know, maybe it's just because I'm hoping that none of our guys leave? There's only ten minutes left now, though, until the transfer window slams shut. I don't think we've got time to lose anybody.
