I have a friend who doesn't believe that chiropracters are pseudo-scientific bullshit peddlers, and I love her but it does my head in how many people are chugging that snake oil

Yeah, ხ, ღ and ყ are all sounds that are kinda hard to pick out from some others and English doesn't use, but I'll get better. I hear the same thing about Georgian verbs being hell lol, among other things

I would believe you if I hadn't seen her eagerly throw so many under the bus.

I genuinely cannot comprehend another way to learn reading. I'm learning to read a new alphabet and a whole new vocabulary, and I just can't imagine how a child would do that using this wack ass method.

Speaking *properly
Couldn't resist

I'm seriously wondering how many kids are struggling just because English is nonsense. I'm learning Georgian, with fully phonetic spelling, total consistency and I'm astonished that I became fluent in English as a stupid child.

You're supposed to stop looking at each letter pretty quickly and start recognising the shape of a whole word at a glance. I'm not quite sure what you're saying here.

I'm taking back my likes if that happens please don't make such horrifying predictions

Mercedes is a fucking super mum she would not do that, do not slander her

This would make no difference, and you know that. You just don't care.

Hope the actual date of surgery isn't too far away

these CT scan images of my skull may be spooky, but I can see exactly where the surgeon is gonna absolutely go to town on that thing

It's also cis for a trans woman disagreeing with you.

the american mind cannot comprehend that different countries have different cheap bread

the key difference is that preferential voting actually works

Nicole when is this going to be a book

If any motherfucker IRL started using AGAB terminology around me I would need to be restrained
I do not trust anyone who still does that shit

The bigger issue is honestly the location rather than the amount of pain, my tongue is not somewhere I'd like to be stabbed
But it'd look so good when I get my canines lengthened into little vampire fangs

They need to invent tongue piercings that don't hurt, for girls like me who want to be hot but are also cowards

Why the fuck would they even do that? Are they trying to make you insecure about having cool teeth like what

*feral, unhinged* VAMPIRe FANGS WOULD FIX ME IMMEDIATELY

It's a very understandable way for them to feel, I just wish people weren't so eager to hand governments unlimited power and pray that they never find themselves looking down the barrel of that gun.

Side note, a little concerning to me that so many people in those replies are fans of the state deciding who is allowed to have opinions.

Even if a propagandist were "qualified" (whatever that means, cis people will spread whatever ideas they want amongst themselves) in those things I'd still trust them less than any trans woman I know, to be perfectly honest. Maybe that makes me too distrusting, but it is what it is.

"females" you creeps are all the fucking same

As a linguist, you should be aware that "transsexual" is not referring to sexuality, it's referring to the sex of people's bodies.

Oh, you think I do it because I'm a pick me. How could I possibly have a legitimate reason, right?

Ok, well I'm a young transexual woman who uses it because I believe it to be a more accurate description of me than transgender. And it goes against the idea of cis people that we can't change sex, even though that's literally what I'm doing. Where's my block?

The word transsexual has nothing to do with sexuality, how can you be expressing this opinion without that incredibly basic knowledge? It's about the fact that we change our sex.

That only makes his refusal to understand more baffling to me.
