Why they assume just because he has a penis he would stand.  If he feels like he's really a woman then wouldn;t he sit?   I know not the point, but still... *shrugs*

Sick of being judged by our physical bodies
Every day we pass people, do we see them or the mask they wear?
If you live under a mask long enough, does it eventually break or wear down?  Does it become part you?  Maybe alone, they are truly themselves?  Or maybe they have forgotten or buried themselves so long, they forget they are not a mask?

Well, what other result can you expect from all the shrill transphobic propaganda the religious reich has been spewing? Get ready, folks, here comes the crackdown.

The pronoun abuse in that article was inexcusable. It adds insult to injury. Aiden, please get a clue.
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

Florida, may indeed be the word. Ya suppose the bail would have been lower had this fellow choked a TS to death?

There is a reason that FARK has "florida" tag as one of its headings.  News from the Sunshine State never fails to amuse.

Sorry... opps  didn;t even realize did that.  Please forgive me, I never heard of transgender till 3 years ago when met first one, and back then I still didn't understand it or know anything about proper pronouns.  I only learned recently in discovering I was transgender myself and researching.   I'm really sorry.  :(

Oh don't beat yourself up over it.  Say "sorry" and forget it.  If that's not enough say "So?"
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Aidan, try to go a bit easier on yourself, luv. Sometimes it takes awhile to get used to things. I don't think anyone is gonna believe you intentionally tried to upset them. It was an unintentional mistake.

It's really okay, fella. Try to just let it go and give yourself some slack. :icon_hug:

Thanks.  Sorry about the breakdown.  Maybe I need more sleep.

I can't believe that people are actually paid to write this stuff.  You'd think that they should have more pages in their coloring books to fill in.

I feel bad now, Aiden. I never meant to upset you. (((HUGS)))
I embarrassed myself a lot when I was new at this... I think we all have.

Thanks.  I know you didn't mean to.  Was more upset at myself.
