Think I upset a few tonight with some crass and thoughtless comments re: recent news. Totally wasn’t my intention or why I came on this platform. Owning it. I will do better. X

Ok. I just answered a question. Didn’t wish to offend. X

Yes which is why trans men are not the same as cis men. That’s why i don’t feel you can say the two are identical and the same. And why would you want to? You asked what differences there were between a trans man or woman and their cis cousins. We have two examples.

Understandable x

I guess so - not a fan of that word, I’m a child of the 70s

Thanks for engaging in reasonable discussion with me x

I’m afraid I’m not quite with you on that. I think Trans women are trans women and trans men are trans men - they are not quite the same as their cis cousins for a number of reasons (doesn’t make them any lesser and both equally valid). X

Totally different I think as sexuality and gender/sex are very different subjects in my view. Look - I’d love to have a calm conversation with anyone about this. Always hard to debate complex subjects in a few characters

For the most part, probably yes. I think there may be some caveats to that, mostly down to the individual and how they present. I see that many do consider this when making choices.

Well he can do one

Nope - what I’ve said that in some places you don’t belong. Just like every human being does not belong in every single place. It’s always been like that and that’s right. Why would you think you belong everywhere regardless? E.g - I don’t belong in a Lesbian bar or women’s refuge as I’m a man

Yes but some have smiled every episode, or frowned every episode. Are some emotions more valid than others? What does that say?

Have they not noticed that each doctor has a unique set of attributes - this doctor is emotional, and that’s good

Is she still a pop star? I thought she was more of a pop has-been?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social it was Mothering Sunday yesterday, not Mother’s Day. Mothering Sunday is not actually about mothers. Mother’s Day doesn’t exist in the uk. X

It’s very sad that you would choose something else. I’d always choose the same. I just get fed up with being constantly told it’s not a choice. It sounds like an apology - almost, ‘I know it’s terrible but I can’t help it’. As someone else said it shouldn’t matter whether choice or not

No, exactly. The original post implied that it was true for all ….

Not bi. Chose to be gay. I like to pick a lane and stick to it

Oh. Well I chose.

Sorry - who told you sexual orientation was never a choice? Why wouldn’t you choose it? And whose business is it anyway

Terrifying.

Please comeback. We had to endure Braverman yesterday and Hunt today!

Bloomin’ ‘eck - wasn’t expecting that on my feed this morning. Not that I’m complaining

South Shore

I need to go

Luckily most of the civilised world has universal healthcare.

Progress on the en-suite is steady - still on target to finish before Xmas.

Not sure what being Jewish has to do with it. I’m not Jewish and none of my family is.

Glad you’re in remission now. I had to have part of my colon removed. I’m on Angevita now and no symptoms. X
