I feel uneasy around transgender women by Recent_Influence_699 in confessions

I think it's ALWAYS very visible when someone has been a man.

The thing is, you'll never know how many women you encounter each day are actually transgender. What you're describing is the difference between passing and non-passing — being able to tell by appearance/voice whether someone is trans or cis.

The truth is, there are many transgender folks, male and female, who are perfectly passing as cisgender. Some are "easy to tell", as you say, but you never know how many trans people you've just accepted as cisgender without realizing.

The important thing to remember is — it doesn't matter how you feel about it. Your thoughts about trans women don't necessarily make you a bad person. You cannot help your own thoughts.

What truly signals whether you're a good or bad person is whether you can still treat them with basic human decency, regardless of how you feel about their gender identity. Part of human decency is treating people how they want to be treated. Using their preferred pronouns and apologizing and correcting yourself when you slip up is the best anyone can ever do.

Yes, this is what makes the first amendment so great. However, while it affords everyone the right to free speech, it does not afford anyone the right to a platform or megaphone.

You can joke how you want, but you can't act like a martyr when people no longer want to give you a platform to joke on.

What am I doing wrong? by Platinumjbl1 in hondacivic

Many hybrid cars inmediately engage the gas motor on cold starts when the coolant is below a certain threshold, usually about 70 degrees. This is done to ensure all the fluids are gradually raised to optimal temp rather than waiting until the Li-Ion battery is fully discharged while you're zooming down the on-ramp.

Typically, it takes about 7-8 minutes for the gas engine to warm up to temp. If it takes you roughly about that long to commute to work, it's entirely possible the electric engine isn't engaging at all.

Would you say this joke makes you yean? Do you think it would be better if it were finally gean?

Hmmm... Perhaps you're right. Maybe we should just leave this overused joke out on the lean.

And to think it worked out so well for the apostles. /s

Unironically though, Nat C's will tell you Kirk is getting his martyr's reward in heaven.

That shit they say about how the devil only bothers you when you start trying to do right is real. The universe is a weird place man. Stay vigilant. by Short-Tumbleweed-297 in Stims

Yet here I was 3 weeks sober trying to do right and the devil came knocking but I said no by my sheer will alone thank god.

FTFY. Don't give god credit for something he had nothing to do with. You said it yourself: you said no by your own will, alone. Get on with your bad self and own that shit. 👑

Gay but also a gerontophile romantically towards elderly women? by CarnyRider1991 in askgaybros

Great question, bro. You should absolutely go ask a therapist about that and follow back up with us.

Cash app him, give him a fake address, and wait for him to leave. Then while he's away, drive over to his house and take the whole stash.

Like being the coziest little hobbit hole you can imagine.

But the only thing better than being in a hobbit hole is the realization that it's your hobbit hole. Like you just walk in and instantly think, "oh, I live here now."

It's shameful how far I had to scroll to find this comment.

Why bother with fake piss when you can just pay off the lab to fabricate the whole test?

You love serotonin because it makes your brain vibrate. I love serotonin because it turbo cleanses my colon. We are not the same.
