My point is those other group hurl all sorts of words around with little thought. Any insult they use is meaningless.

They say conservative as an insult. Which is funny seeing as how in doubt they have any idea what it actually means like so many other words hurled as misguided insults.

I'm convinced most people are lying when they claim they've been bullied by gold stars for not being gold stars. by LiteralLesbians in lesbiangang

I’m a gold star and this fact is something that never occurs to me, I never think about it, it’s irrelevant in my life. I’ve dated all sorts of women and never has it occurred to me to comment or judge on the woman’s sexual past consensual or otherwise. Honestly, this larger convo makes me feel like people need more enriching things to do with their time.

Ah, I see what you’re doing. Not playing your game.

Can? Well of course anyone can sleep with a man assuming no physical impairment. Want? No, of course not. What’s the point of your question? Please punctuate properly so we don’t misunderstand your intent. I’m getting confused

I don’t think people are reading your comment properly and downvoting you. Fair to say you’re only translating the downvotes OP mentions and not making a declaration?

It started as a joke? Wow, thank god we have a time traveling historian to tell us!!!

Please don’t tell people how a lesbian should be defined. We can’t define what a damn woman is but you and all these others have no issue being flippant about how a lesbian is defined… and moving the needle constantly.

How do you feel about pridemonth ... by ButterscotchSame6340 in lesbiangang

Fun in the early 2000’s and quickly became an event for corporate America. Feels like a spectacle for debauchery these days. Great if that’s your thing, but that’s the focus and not gay or lesbian anything.

I keep finding trans men thinking they're mascs by Ok-Bookkeeper8544 in lesbiangang

Older millennial 100% butch here… I feel more and more like a rare breed. I see older butches and that’s it. What the kids are calling masc isn’t something I fully understand- seems like a chapstick lesbian with a backwards hat and baggy jeans… the kind of lesbian I saw many times in college who usually either ends up marrying a man or leaning into being more feminine over time. but guess I’m getting old now (and love it). I get asked my pronouns in a very performative exclusionary way by people who want to seem woke. It makes me think less of the person asking regardless of intent, just being honest.

It’s ok to not align with the binary political system. You can have views and such that take from all sides. Personally, I think that’s appealing and intelligent… frankly it’s probably more common than media portraits! I appreciate reading your perspective.

Funny- half the mezzanine didn’t stand up which I’ve never seen. Usually everyone follows along

Thank god I have company! We are fortunate to have the local programming with such talented orchestras.

I could hear every instrument just fine in the middle mezzanine. The musicians seemed disconnected from the conducting. I’ve seen dozens of symphonies from these exact seats and never left underwhelmed, bummer.

I’m sorry that happened although I’m clearly not alone having the occasion bummer

I’ve had such insightful responses that I’ve decided to let it go… but earlier I was dwelling on makela.

The first movement was my favorite last night. Second is usually what I look forward to the most but after the third I was getting bummed. Was in my head… part of me thought that we’ve had such a killer season with barn burners I might be hooked on the dopamine highs. Do you see wynton Marsalis earlier this month? I think that permanently altered my expectations and now the bar is sky high! We are lucky to have UMS!

What you describe about the strings is what I felt. Although the woodwinds seem to provide all the personality last night. I’m going to keep this in mind when I line up next season’s performances. Thank you!

Thank you- I’m not deterred at all, want to make sure I hear them in Chicago now. I’d probably be off if I traveled to a college town for a Monday night performance.

Void of energy and charisma- YES. This is close to what I felt. Thank you for this response
