I think a first date for coffee is perfect. Short, no strings, easy in and out. If you don't "click" you have an easy excuse to leave early.

I am new to this discussion but it appears he dislikes "homosexual" because it leaves out transmen? Does he date transmen? If so, I would say he is correct in saying he is not homosexual.

Keep up! "Finally, on March 31st, 2021, Augie passed away peacefully. She was 20 years and 11 months old, putting her as the 19th oldest dog on record, and securing her spot as the oldest Golden Retriever to ever live"

I was raised Catholic and we definitely had a word "non-Catholic" I live in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood and they definitely have a word "goy" The difference being we/they don't use it to your face or expect YOU to refer to yourself that way.

I am on my way to your town to pay three times the normal price for hotel rooms, gas, food etc while you sit in your back yard and watch for free. No sympathy...

She should have stuck with that and not released an obviously fake photo. She did NOT admit creating that photo. She "occasionally" edits photos and she was sorry about the confusion. Sounds like a politician that makes you think they said something when they really didn't
@CrimeInNYC
I have a friend who is an EMT in PA and in certain circumstances they need police backup to go into dangerous settings. They always hate it when the smallish woman shows up to "protect" them. I'm a woman and I think woman can do almost anything a man can do, but not everything.
@mollistan
I am fine with it. To me feminism is accepting what other women do even if it's not what you would do. Feminism is NOT telling other women how to live their lives.

I am an older person with good balance and in good health. I am frankly insulted when someone tries to give me their seat. Look at disability, not age when deciding who you should give up your seat to.
@LauraRbnsn
In my previous post I mentioned how I got my latest, but I had one who "applied" also. We told him no because we already had FOUR cats. He did not take rejection well and eventually we had five.
@alyssaleann
I talked to my 77 year old neighbor and he said he doesn't don't care about the royal family and I said that (US) I really don't either but there was this photo and she's out of sight, etc. Half an hour later he was still asking me about the photo and the conspiracy theories!

People who believe they are trans have the same rights everyone else has. They demand additional rights, that's where we draw the line.

Are you kidding? If someone puts ONE FOOT into a striped crosswalk and then stays there chatting with their friends I am legally prohibited from moving forward. For as long as they wants to hold me hostage
@artymortyarty
I am not anti-trans. If being trans allows you to live your best life than go for it. I object to men in women's sports, prisons, rape centers. If you just want to wear a dress and feel good about yourself I'm all for that.
@Zazamyodor
Walking down the street - not anywhere near as old as I am today - and a boy lost control of a beach ball and it hit me. His sister, about 11 years old, yelled at him for hitting the "old lady" with the ball. You know the old saying about adding insult to injury?

I don't approve, but it wasn't the praying it was the forcibly blocking patients and workers from accessing a reproductive health clinic while streaming it live online.

I learned cursive quite some time ago in school and it has been of no practical use to me, especially with the arrival of personal computers and mobile phones. Surely there are more useful things to teach?
@MikeHooray
I have a less serious problem. I am a widow and have no children. My friends who are still alive do not live nearby. I cannot get a colonoscopy because I have no one to drive me home. Uber won't do, medical transportation won't do. It has to be a PERSON.
@Dalbodog
I want to say "yes" but some people are afraid of dogs, and dogs bark and pee and poop. In a private room "yes" in a semi-private room with the consent of the other patient "yes" , in a ward, sadly probably not.

"the risk varies based on factors like a person’s sex assigned at birth" Yes. If your sex assigned at birth is male the risk is ZERO!! They make it sound like a spectrum.
@The_Feminist_TM
I am no more informed than I was before. But that's OK, I'll Google it.
I was a feminist back in the 70s and I don't buy into men have to spend all the money if that's what this is about. I believe we should be equal and that extends to paying the check when it comes.

@SolipC2
But if women outlive their husbands, shouldn't fewer men than women die alone? And a lot of widows remarry. Do you have a link to that stat? It just doesn't sound right to me, especially since women live longer.

@babybeginner
As a rape victim (many years ago) I know this is true. Not only could I not be around men without fear, I could not be around women of the same race as my attacker. Sadly this extended to the nicest woman in the world who worked with me. Got over it, but I needed time to heal.
@bluertwo
I think he is entitled to his beliefs. But this is why I was against that valedictorian at the University of Southern California giving her speech. You can think and say whatever you want, but a captive audience should not be forced to listen to it.
@AllianceLGB
I have no idea where Jenny lives, but I wish I could offer her my services as a straight woman and get some friends to come to her speed dating events and be "assigned" to the men and distract them from the lesbians who could go about their activities. Really sucks.
@The_Feminist_TM
I'm a straight woman and I kind of hate it too. I don't say that often, because it's really not my business, but this is where we are as a society?
@rejserin
"A woman who worked at a rape crisis centre was unfairly constructively dismissed for believing that those using the service should be able to know the sex of staff, a tribunal has found"
@HazelAppleyard_
I'd love to hear the back story. Obviously this guy is in a bad situation, but the fact that his surgeon won't come near him indicates something happened that we are not hearing about.
@HazelAppleyard_
I suspect this post is fake because he refers to his "person" as both "him" and "her" and I absolutely don't believe he has met friends and family and not one person has clocked him. This is just clickbait.
@HazelAppleyard_
Not a comment on Dave Chapelle, but I am so disappointed that people can't laugh at themselves anymore. Think of all the great comics of the past - they made fun of us and we laughed at it. We didn't take ourselves too seriously.
@callybeaton
Reminds me of the time I met an old friend of my mother by chance in NYC. She said that my mother had told her I just had a baby. I said, no, that was my sister. She replied "No, I'm sure it was you"! 😂😂😂
@TheFamousArtBR
I tried to explain that on Twitter, but you did it much better than me. I don't care if they are rich, it is a deep-seated phobia that many people have about being in a confined space and not being able to breathe.
@ilovepreserves
Here's the thing. I will never win a beauty contest and I accepted that in my teens, but I will never be mistaken for a man. You haven't stolen my womanhood.

I remember a guy bragging on twitter that he didn't have to stand in long lines at the airport because he was EU. I said trading control of your borders for a shorter line in the airport is not the win you think it is. He deleted his post.

I am US and I think most Americans believe that "transwomen" don't have penises anymore. I think that might be the most important message to get out.

Megan Rapinoe wants to allow men in women's sports when her tram lost to a team of 14 year old boys? How can we take her seriously?
@CrimeInNYC
Well, I'm glad we know their ages, aren't you? That really identifies the problem. The 36 year old was no doubt upset he wasn't as young as the 32 year old. If you don't want to talk about race just say the first male and the second male!!!
@shastorra
@oliveegger
Yeah, this is the cringe. I picked out my own ring because my husband-to-be knew me well enough to know I wanted to. The bad thing is the public criticism of the ring. I would never have done that.
@stephenwhittle
If by driving transpeople back into the closet, you mean that men will dress like men and stay out of women's sports then I'm good with that
My husband died 4/14/2020. Not from Covid, but the hospitals in NJ were in lock down. He was taken by ambulance on Easter morning 4/12/20. I was told on the 13th that I could see him for one hour and could not come back again. 3 years ago today, the last time I saw him.

@stormrobinson
Doesn't "left the toilet seat up" refer to the actual "seat" because an unsuspecting woman might accidentally sit on the porcelain rim? I don't want to touch anything more than I need to in a public loo so PLEASE leave the cover in the up position so I don't need to handle it.

My theory is that Billie beat an older man past his prime (and it is possible he threw it for financial reasons) so she believes the fiction that men can fairly compete against women.
@dnalerinrehtron
Your story is something like mine.
I imagine I am a bit older than you are. My reason for wanting to be a boy was because of the differences in what boys were allowed to do and much greater job opportunities. Lots of that has changed.

You do understand the concept of "plea bargain"? The authorities threathen you with life in prison if you don't plead guilty to a lesser offence. Your lawyer says plead. You plead.
