The Not Happy Thread

Very well said indeed

 

<hugs back> Back at you, when I read your posts about your anxiety, they give me comfort to know that I am not alone in having feelings like that, so I won't give up if you don't.

 

I won't give up, and it probably helps that the term 'giving up' doesn't exactly exist in my family's vocabulary.

 

I totally agree with the sentiment, but can we leave the "it" off the gender choices? I understand it in this situation, but it might feel kind of dehumanizing for people who really are working through gender issues...

 

I've noticed when I go to review the list of people I've put on "ignore" that most of them have strikethroughs through their names. There's a kind of annoying behaviour that just makes itself known...

 

Can I get a 30-day free trial?

Your conversation about Phil is pretty transphobic and making me uncomfortable.

If Phil said she was a woman, she is a woman.

 

To be fair, I wasn't involved in the Pinky matter, on either occasion. The initial temp-ban was placed by one of the other mods and upon the member's return, it was yet a different mod who received the unsolicited, lewd attentions. (not to mention the digital version of used condoms in several threads)

I make this statement for the benefit of any Trolly Von Trollerson who may be reading this so that he or she may know that there is more than one Mjölnir in the arsenal and the other mods most certainly don't need to wait upon my say-so.

 

Actually lol'd at this

 

I'm so glad you clarified this. It would've gone right over my head otherwise.

 

But only slightly. 5' 6".

 

Over a foot - that's not slightly (coming from someone who is short by all standards)

 

I have absolutely no interest in discussing what I'd consider common courtesy. But we've been managing to refrain from saying rude things about black people while discussing whether Phil really is black or not, and I think it would be nice if we did the same for trans people. And I wasn't "upset", at least not until I read this reply.

I certainly won't take part in a conversation where "it" is being used, even jokingly, to refer to someone whose gender is at issue. So, I'm out. And I'm disappointed.

 

Are we going to ignore how they went from 40 to 30?

I think there's a few pages worth of discussion in that move alone.

 

You rang?

 

Apparently they're remaking that monstrosity.

I only know because it and several other scary movie trailers took over the preview showings of a film I just went to see.

So much so I thought the film I'd chosen was actually secretly a horror film and was literally ready to flee at any moment (I'm a huge baby).

I'm still gonna have nightmares tonight, just from the trailers. . .
