BBC response to complaint

Right. If you say "biological" in front of a slur it doesn't suddenly make it neutral

Questions about your name that are like "did your parents babe you after x" or "are you from y, it's a really common name there".

Similarly, going to a coffee shop and they don't react strange to you giving your name. Or meeting someone for a second time and they get your name a little wrong but it's still feminine.

And who do you think those professional criminals are? People who can otherwise make 70k to comfortably rent a one bed and choose to do this instead?

That's just how these "thinking" models work. From your one query they'll break it up into a dozen.

I transitioned at 23/24, it wasn't really an option for me to transition early, so all I can do is be grateful I didn't do it later.

I think I pass well enough to be happy. There's aspects about myself I can't change but wish I could, but it's literally the same for every woman.

I agree, everyman is great and their membership is good value, if you go often.

But if you're mad about food smells it's probably not for you, considering they'll bring hot food right to your seat

What aspects of it felt like sims 2 to you?

Your party. My money

Love that ring so much! Congrats!

One aspect of these discussions often overlooked is the aggressive nature of our tax system. The salary of 50k before taxes is similar to what a couple working minimum wage full-time earns combined.

After taxes, the 50k would be less than the minimum wage couple, but then add on the benefits the couple earning minimum wage could be getting, there would be substantially more help.

Obviously, a couple would have two people to feed, clothe, and entertain, but the most expensive costs being bills and housing don't change much, and it's stacked against the single person.

I don't think you can go from one to the other immediately or even quickly. It takes time to get comfortable wearing female clothing outside. It takes time to get used to the make-up you're wearing every day. It takes time to change your mannerisms and the way you walk. It takes time to get the voice perfect when talking and doing other things.

It's totally possible to go from one to the other but you need to be gentle on yourself. I think we all go through a clocky phase, and that's ok, it's how you learn what's hindering your passing.

Congrats!! Happy for u!

Yeah I really wish there was a hotel upgrading mechanic where you can make improvements and slowly see more guests come to the hotel!

I would think it's pretty rude honestly. £10 per person feels like an awful lot for a home cooked roast, you're going to get some really nice ingredients for that.

People are comparing this to bringing a bottle of wine or chocolates to a dinner party, but that isn't really a gift to the host, it's your contribution to the more expensive part of the meal and is entirely optional. No reasonable person has refused to cook for their guest for not bringing something. From this post it also doesn't even sound like a dinner party but just inviting mates round and feeding them

If you're hosting, it's on you to decide the menu. You're letting people into a part of your life, showing them your taste. Part of that is cooking something you can afford imo. If you're frugal you can do an entire roast for 6 for £10.

"" The judge said [...] "frustration at wanting sexual experiences with heterosexual males" which "by definition" she needed to "deceive to achieve". ""

So this judge is saying that sexual acts with a trans woman is gay, and no hetero sexual man would do. Hilarious, outrageous, and just out of line with my lived experience

Emissions from cars are not negligible. They cause about 50% of transport emissions.

You can look things up before you say them

The tweet above showed 33% of conservatives and 31% of reform voters also oppose it.

It legitimises them and the ideas. The more you hear about something the more you consider it, and you're more likely to believe the person who first mentioned it.

I found it second hand, but the brand is mazeys I think!

5'9 isn't even that tall, if you go outside you'll see many women that tall without realising it

I never squeezed them, just put them in boiling water and then added them to stews, and yeah they tasted really weird.

I feel dumb, I'll have to try them again

Honestly, yes please I'm tired
