My fucking father in law is gonna eat this shit up. We're going out to his family gathering next weekend and my son has a really cute rainbow and pink outfit he's been dying to show off. For context, this extended family has an ex-in law who came out as trans and whom they violently hate, so my kiddo won't be exposed to them too much as he grow up. Alas, the old G-pa in law doesn't have much longer so we gotta go hang out with peeps.
This shit is fucking BROKEN.
If that's the vibe in your workplace, then you for sure need to unionize.
Yet another reason to want to move to the Netherlands
Its because they signed up for Twitter
Tbf, I'm an anarchist/antifascist (aka non-Trump voter), and I definitely have strong opinions on manhood. They just happen to be the opposite of what the MAGA nuts would believe.
I'm glad you have a wife that is supportive.
I hear you about platonic friends. Its really hard to make friends as an adult. I'm in the same boat. My wife has friends because she's lived in this town for decades, but I'm an immigrant who's only been here since 2019 and 80% of the other people in our town drive pickup trucks and think vaccines kill people. The struggle is real. Whatever its worth I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there. I dont have the courage to try that so much myself.
Fuck yes!
Ive heard a handful of Christian leaders say things like, "I know its all gonna end in flames eventually, so I'm happy driving my massive SUV thank you very much".
Assuming you'll get captured before having to pay the consequences for climate breakdown, while knowing fully that your actions are causing the destruction of the world, should result in legally having all of your property confiscated and given to a refugee family.
I am so so so sorry that happened to you. That is so incredibly fucked up and not okay. The fact this happened at Pride is just...so heartbreaking. I am a cis-het male, but I inevitably cry tears of joy every year at our local Pride festival because there are so many people from across the entire LGBTQ2IAS+ community in our very conservative/religious city who get so much shit from judgmental bigots, every day of the year, but Pride is a time when they are not just accepted, but fucking CELEBRATED! Friend, if the hater who spewed those lies to you won't celebrate you, I sure as hell will. Such_lettuce7970, I dont know you IRL, but judging from your post history you use Linux, and youre here on the threadiverse, and you have seem to have a heart for sharing vulnerability with others which is such an incredible gift for all of us to be blessed by. You're a fucking cool-ass woman, and I hope you are able to find people IRL who are able to validate that about yourself. Sending a handful of soldarity tears and many, many loving vibes your way (and if you're cool with it, some WiFi hugs as well). Youre a fucking treasure, and your cats are lucky as shit to be able to hang out with you.
The book Where There's A Will by Emily Chappell is a fantastic read that describes her journey through this race a few years ago. HIGHLY recommend checking it out.
