Why do you use the distro you use?

People said Ubuntu is easy, but I prefer green to orange so I went with Mint.

Risky click of the day

On laptop you have to tilt the screen towards you a lot more than usual and look at it just above the function keys. On desktop you have to stand up for the same perspective.

Great, now my family are wondering why I was laughing.

Awesome! Thanks! Same to you.

Yup. Have a good weekend.

I think all the answers that are going to be in are in, just in case you needed a reminder to revisit the thread.

reminder that trans women are women and attraction to them (if you’re a man) is straight

And yet, many wouldn’t say that a man liking a woman with a penis is 100% straight.

It sounded to me like you were equating trans women with women with a penis, but apparently I misunderstood your meaning, so hey.

I don’t understand why you call saying that sexuality is a spectrum and is separate from gender identity, box labelling project.

That’s absolutely not the bit I was criticising.

To me it sounded like you were both invalidating the femininity of trans women and the sexual identity of men who like them. But maybe I misunderstood your meaning again.

I’m just not sure it’s any better telling people what their sexuality is any more than it is telling people what their gender is.

I’m also not keen on phrases like “lots people would say”. It sits in the box of phrases that people use when they know what they’re about to say something that can be offensive. Have an opinion, by all means, but own up to it, and be prepared to take the flak for it rather than depend on your unseen army of people who agree with you for cover. It’s not in the least bit less offensive when you put it in the mouths of others.

I think we can agree that sexuality and gender are multi faceted, complex and don’t divide into a neat categories as some folks make out, and I apologise for not being as civil with you as I should be.

Uh, also some trans women are post op and now have a vagina instead of a penis, they just don’t have a womb or ovaries, that’s all.

I don’t know how that affects your box labelling project.

I hug my friends whenever we meet or part. You other folks should get doing this.

You can sugar coat it however you like and No-True-Scotsman till the cows come home, but North Korea, iirc, even today, kills, imprisons and tortures more people for their beliefs than any other country.

Believing that atheists are somehow immune from shittiness is absurd. No broad category of people is immune from shittiness.

Thanks.

Thank you, that’s very informative indeed.

Thanks, it’s very understanding of you to be so open. Only keep answering if you’re happy to, but I’m wondering if the breast growth thing just a personal preference or are there external factors, like is it about how other people see you?

I hope you don’t mind me asking, and I don’t want to cause any upset with my ignorance, but what is it that you’re looking for from hormones? Feel free to ignore the question if you don’t like it or can’t be bothered with it.

Top notch banter.

People talk about the subconscious as if it’s a real thing rather than his invented theory to explain away the fact that the vast majority of people quite firmly believe that they don’t want to have sex with their parents.

Freud was a sick, sick man.

We give his deranged nonsense theories based on his deranged damaged patients far, far, fartoo much credence.

I mean, if you think about any of them critically, even for a minute, his theories are obviously complete and utter bullshit.
