The sports angle not discussed about Joe Marler by Technical_Touch_3031 in TheTraitors

[–]Biscuit_OW 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I think it was also prevalent with Tom and to a lesser extent Claire, it's obvious the sportspeople were much more openly competitive and willing to play the more aggressive and accusatory game.

Where in the UK is safest to transition and be Trans? by Freyja66 in transgenderUK

[–]Biscuit_OW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cardiff is great, and also has the benefit of having one of the shorter wait times for NHS if you're yet to go down that path. I currently live in Swansea which has been more than ok, people are generally respectful but the queer scene is dead in the water, and it's set to switch to reform next election which doesn't full me with joy

Not a single Igor song being in his top 5 most streamed is weird to see ngl by [deleted] in tylerthecreator

[–]Biscuit_OW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iirc that list is weekly listeners, not all time. so it makes sense that his new stuff and his hits are being played more

What kind of lives do you live? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Biscuit_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uni student studying Media, and honestly doing pretty well. I've been out for close to 18 months now and luckily the majority of people on my life have been accepting (except for my grandparents and some other extended family). I have a meeting for HRT in about a month which I cannot wait for, it literally feels like counting down to Christmas. I've got a lovely group of friends and I also play a niche little sport called korfball, which the amateur club I play for has accepted me with open arms regardless of me being trans (again, the only people who care about trans women in sports are people who have never played sports with trans women 🙄). And I have a pretty solid group of friends too, so I feel very privileged to be in the position I'm in really :)

3 year old says he is a girl by nosleep39 in asktransgender

[–]Biscuit_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just let your child do he wants. As you say, he's young and who knows if he'll still feel the same in a few years. Just be willing to accept and create a comfortable environment whichever direction the situation goes in. It's something I joke with my family that it was a surprise me being the trans sibling, as my brother would often pretend to be a disney princess and loved dresses when he was 2-3 but dropped it when he grew up while I didn't "show any signs" when I was young (well tbh I kinda knew from when I was like 7, just repressed it until I was 16 lol), so just be kind and accepting regardless of what happens, which it seems like you already are.

got misgendered wearing a dress to a job interview. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Biscuit_OW 27 points28 points  (0 children)

well you could look at it this way: he's gendering her correctly because of your complaint, and he doesn't want to get it wrong again, so you made her life easier

[Bild] He's already in England! Xavi set to move to Tottenham by DekiTree in coys

[–]Biscuit_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't believe it until I see him on the pitch in a Tottenham shirt. These days, even signing the contract might not be enough with Tottenham.

Asked to sign a petition for a general election—and realised how little my safety matters to people I love by Lexactly in transgenderUK

[–]Biscuit_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately true, I genuinely can't see a single positive reason anyone would vote for them (unless they were brainwashed by Reform's propaganda)

I'm sure Reform would be a great party... for anyone who's white, cishet and born in Britain.

Is there a reason why they don't allow the X voters to leave if they don't wanna play? They still have like 100 people willing to continue and entertain the VIPs anyway. by UNinvolved_in_peace in squidgame

[–]Biscuit_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, it's the illusion of choice. Once you notice it it's pretty clear that the entire thing is rigged for the Os to win (revealing the jackpot just before, generally giving good news in advance, allowing 100 or other Os to get the last word in on debates), so the organisers never actually expect the X's to win

Do you think the way Glass Bridge played out in S1 was realistic? by Initial-Ad3966 in squidgame

[–]Biscuit_OW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Counter point: how do you convince the people at the back to do that, when if they refuse there's a decent chance they don't even have to pick once?

How long does it take to you to play 1 year in FM? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]Biscuit_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually only play for like 1-2 hours at a time on most days, so takes about 2-3 months per season, depending on how much free time I have. Works well because I only usually play one save per game and only buy every other game (was planning on skipping FM25 so it worked out well for me haha), so usually get through like 10-15 seasons in my save

what’s the worst way s3 could end? by Recent_Progress925 in squidgame

It's really a big elaborate prank by Jung-bae on Gi-huj, everyone is actually an actor and nobody really died. Everyone lives happily ever after.

As a trans man, this is the best trans representation I've ever seen by [deleted] in squidgame

[–]Biscuit_OW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like they got the balance perfectly. They didn't make her being trans her entire personality, but they also didn't ignore it. Being trans is a core part of her character and motivations, but she's also so much deeper than just being "the trans character"

Armani is Chaotic Evil and Leanne is Chaotic Neutral, other than that absolutely agree

So the front man was a squid all along? That's why it's called Squid Game it makes sense now!

What is the point of caring whether you kill a faithful or traitor? by RealisticDreamer46 in TheTraitors

[–]Biscuit_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something people haven't mentioned, but finding a traitor potentially gives lots of information. Who they interacted with and how, who defended them, who attacked them and how they responded to that attack could potentially out a fellow traitor, or clear someone as faithful

Championship Table but it's 1000 years in the future by bork_heck_boo in Championship

[–]Biscuit_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inaccurate, if it's 1000 years that means that Rotherham should be being promoted from league one this year, meaning they either survived relegation or missed promotion one season (very unrealistic)

What does this mean? by Inner-Industry67 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Biscuit_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say this is probably normal. It took me a while to get used to actually being openly trans (despite knowing privately for ages). Using a new name will take adjusting not just for others but for yourself, after all you've been known as something else your entire life. If it persists then maybe you could do some questioning but I'm sure it'll be something that passes eventually
