@TheLaurenChen In trans people’s defense, I can’t identify the trans women in my workplace. I have been told they exist, but I haven’t seen anyone I recognize as trans. 🤷♀️

A revelation I've had since following trans subreddits:
Almost all transwomen believe they actually pass as women
In reality I'd say ~5% of them are actually convincing as women, fewer once they speak
But when people call them "ma'am" to be polite, they think they're passing

@Vertok55 Lord. Now you are just making up possible future problems? It never ends with some of you. Goodbye.

They aren't 'virtually unusable.' They just want to find a reason to be outraged. You still have all your books, in fact, you can find all your books on Amazon's website and redownload them if you want.
The only thing you won't be able to do is buy books from the Amazon store directly. But you can sideload them if you are so in love with your 10+ year old device.
Do people realize eventually you won't be able to charge the battery (my Kindle from 2012 was starting to have trouble fully charging several years ago) and the buttons will eventually age out and the memory is so much less than the newer devices. These are not eternal devices. People are so weird about this.

@ShanerTeen24563 @RickD_GK Since she blocked me: I’m a lawyer who works with pro bono clients. I don’t need government assistance for myself.

@ShanerTeen24563 @RickD_GK This isn’t about you. It’s about how other people should be allowed to use SNAP assistance.

8 states have now approved use of EBT at select fast food restaurants.
This is beyond frustrating. I have zero issue with families who need help to get it, but being able to buy fast food with it is not OK in my opinion.
What are your thoughts? Should card holders be able to buy any type of food, or be restricted to just standard groceries that they would ha e to prepare themselves?

@ThrillaRilla369 No way! I’d be on a plane and having a travel crate delivered to meet me at the rental car place.

This might be controversial but why can the transgender community safely take high doses of estrogen or testosterone, but a menopausal woman is told no because it causes cancer, heart attacks or stroke?

@wakeupusa Either the congresswoman didn’t read the bill or she didn’t understand it.

@Rightanglenews He’s making a disparate impact decision, not a racial decision per se. Affluent Black people will be taxed at the higher rate also. It’s just that there are fewer of them.

@consultnt_a Nothing. Americans like to experiment. And bacon shabu-shabu actually sounds good. I’m going to ask my husband to make some. 😋
English

@ShanerTeen24563 @RickD_GK You are assuming people will read ingredients. They won’t unless they believe as you do.
Macaroni and cheese. Canned soup. Lunch meat. Artificially-colored cheese. Bread that will not mold. Breakfast cereals.
How is McDonald less healthy than that list?
English

@SJ_from_CLE @RickD_GK Grocer store food, if you care about your health & pay attention to ingredients, is much healthier
than any fast food & cheaper.
Especially if you're on food stamps.

@sheilatebra My family knows that if they pull garbage like that on me, I will calmly stand up, get my coat, and leave the event.

You're mid-bite of mashed potatoes when Aunt Susan decides your body is the main course for Easter dinner. Everyone is watching, waiting to see if you'll swallow the humiliation just to keep the peace.
Aunt Susan: "Wow, looks like someone's been enjoying a few too many desserts this year! Just kidding, don't give me that look."
You: "I'm not sure I get the joke.
Aunt Susan: "Oh, lighten up. I'm just teasing you. You've always been way too sensitive."
You: "I'm not being sensitive. I just don't understand the punchline."
Aunt Susan: "It's just family banter! God, you can't even make a simple observation anymore without someone getting offended."
You: "If the joke is just that my body changed, I don't think it's funny. But please – explain why it's hilarious so we can all laugh."
The Aftermath
The silence that follows is deafening. Someone clears their throat and abruptly asks to pass the gravy. You eat the rest of your meal in peace.
The Insight
"You're too sensitive" is the battle cry of someone who wants a free pass to disrespect you. Forcing them to explain the insult strips away the "joke" camouflage – and hands the awkwardness right back where it belongs.
You don't owe anyone a polite chuckle when they cross your boundaries. Stop absorbing other people's emotional chaos.

@ShanerTeen24563 @RickD_GK Your argument is based on the assertion that grocery store food is healthier than food sold at a restaurant.
Support your assertion rather than making a blanket characterization of restaurant food as “unhealthy.”
English

@SJ_from_CLE @RickD_GK Healthy food from a grocery store not more expensive Crap from fast food establishments. Do you know how much more food the EBT money would buy??? More than 1 egg McMuffin
English

@ShanerTeen24563 @RickD_GK Exactly what is unhealthy about an English Muffin with egg and cheese?

@AntiWokeMemes I don’t doubt that person.
When I was a teenager, I was a walking fashion disaster, and I often had guys make fun of me by pretending to hit on me.
Trans women didn’t grow up being exposed to that sort of mockery, so they might not recognize it.

@DTAFantasy @HarryFromCBus I’d happily cheer for any Big10 team that is not from Ann Arbor.
But, I frequently bet on the Wolverines — if y’all win, I get money, and if you lose, I get the enjoyment of watching you lose.
English

@HarryFromCBus Osu fans are scumbag, sister fucking, broke ass, slow witted, fat shits.....but even they, the cockroaches that they are , would never root for a b10 team to win the natty that wasn't them.
