Yeah it's definitely not a monolith. There were always those cis-hating types of spaces around and that's just counterproductive. Luckily my experience is in the "let's figure it or together" types of spaces which are far and away the majority. But everyone remembers the most irritating voice which is often also the loudest.
I think there's also a phase a lot of people go through in their journey where they feel a need to over-express their new identity. That can lead to social growing pains.
I meant the Royal "you". Fixing.
I've been in the leftmost spaces most of my adult life. Accommodations for nuance have generally cost me a few calories in processing thought and not misgendering people but tha'ts it. It was annoying at times to learn new things but the impact on my ability to experience and navigate the world was nil. The benefits were that i got to have deeper connections with my friends of various genders and ethnicities.
I think if someone's coming from an unchallenged experience of masculinity that when people ask for accommodation they feel it as a personal attack because they never had to expend a single calorie of energy on it before, and now someone is asking them to.
It also just takes a looooong time (decades even) to get over one's own insecurities because it's easy to hide those behind a mask of masculinity. That part takes a lot more effort whereas the manosphere tells you that you don't have to climb that mountain because actualization is achieved hiding behind that mask.
A weird assumption that an occupation would cut down corruption.
Of course there will be a completely free and fair, totally not rigged election, and not a hint of voter suppression. It is America after all. I suspect with the job he's doing there will be about 93% trump voters, give or take a few points, across the board.
I guess some people can't imagine a 2-lane, opposed traffic route/rural highway. π€·
I bought "nice" clothes for work (chinos, sweaters, fashionable boots) and then someone flirted with me while i was wearing them and i noticed some people checking me out. I only wear "nice" clothes now π€£
Mid-thirties and I've been crushing on people like I'm 16 again.
Fine enough for the car ahead of you but then there's the issue of oncoming traffic.
