My niece is non-binary and we run into this issue. Now, I just ask people who identify as non-binary. “When there isn’t a good non-binary term to use, do you prefer me to use male or female words?”

So far, the non-binary people I’ve asked seem to appreciate the question.

You can’t buy me new dresses, that would be unethical. But, I bet my husband would appreciate some new dresses. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Anyone who has a 401k likely has Tesla stock, unfortunately.

Yeah, could have been called “kids are learning how circuits work thanks to TikTok trend” and suddenly the story has a whole other meaning

Ironically, I’ve learned a lot of new words and I can directly thank Trump for that. Words like insurrection and stagflation….

Dollar Shave Club makes 6 blade razors in the US. I just saw them at the grocery store yesterday.

I’m open to try it! I also have ADHD and remembering to take my medication is a challenge for me too.

Is it something that you have to take everyday to be effective or can you just take it as needed? I hate taking sleep aids like ZzzQuil.

I frequently have trouble sleeping. After a few days of little to no quality sleep, I become unable to fall asleep.

The best way I’ve been able to describe it like a car battery. It helps start the car and when the car drives it keeps the battery charged. But if the battery gets too low it can’t start the car to recharge.

It’s like the part of my brain that tells my body to go into sleep mode hasn’t been charged by getting sleep. I’m so tired I can’t think and I feel absolutely awful, but the sleep doesn’t come.

I have to take a sleep aid when that happens.

This is just anecdotal, but if it works like that for the people who died, it makes sense to me.

Aliens in my favorite movie of all time too. (⌐■_■)

But do the drivers speak English? /s

My bf and I went to see Dethklok and DragonForce. We both went to the restroom at the same time.

I walked right the women’s room, went and then joked around with the other women about how we walked right in I left the restroom pushed my way through crowds, saw my partner was still standing in line, went to the bar, got drinks, then hung out until he was done.

IT WAS SO WEIRD AND AWESOME.

Also the concert was awesome.

I can’t afford to eat at McDonald’s, even if I wanted to.

I agree with comments on how he is still rich as fuck but he did earn 77mil in 2020 and now he’s down to 10mil.

Boycotts are working.

I don’t mind being shot standing up for what’s right, but I don’t want to be shot in the ass.

No worries! I’ve done that too! But it’s nice to see we all want to protect marginalized communities. Makes me feel better about the future!

That appears to be a man. I mean to say women play sports with women. Trans women are women.

Edit: I may not be making myself clear. When I say trans women, I mean a person who was a man at birth and now identifies as a woman.

Maybe I have the terminology wrong?

Terry Crews was sexually assaulted by the head of a Hollywood talent agency while at a party in 2016.

Initially, he was embarrassed and angry. He didn’t want to talk about it, but after talking to his wife and seeing what the Weinstein accusers were doing, he decided to speak up about it. Seems that he wanted men to know to know it can happen to them too and to not be afraid to speak up.

I think it’s really important for other men (and other genders) to see that. Maybe more people will be brave enough to speak out too.

Yeah that’s the point I was trying to make but it’s clear to me now, I was sounding anti-trans women in sports.

I was saying there are contexts when cis women perform better than trans women and vice versa. Depends on so many things like the sport and the people involved that you can’t just outright ban trans people from sports.

Also, there are so few trans people in sports that they aren’t able to get quality studies done. If there are that few people, why are conservatives spending time trying to harm the trans community? Just leave them alone. They are humans too.

No that’s not what I meant. To be clear, I support trans women playing sports with cisgender women.

I want to be accurate and honest when speaking about it or our side is just as slimy and shady as the other side’s argument.

First of all, the Washington Examiner is a right-wing news outlet. They have a bias in there reporting and it shows.

Second, the number of sexual assaults on campus is likely significantly higher according to more recent information.

Last, if someone assaults a person who doesn’t believe they were assaulted, does that count?

Ever had sex while less than stone cold sober (keep in mind the entirety of the surveyed considered to arrive at this figure were college students)? Survey says you were raped. Doesn’t matter if you were just tipsy, doesn’t matter if you and your partner were equally drunk, doesn’t matter whether you think you were raped/assaulted, nope, we decided you were.

What is that person had passed out drunk and doesn’t remember it? Is it rape now? What if that person has a learning disability or communication disability? Do you think that’s rape?

My point here is that something can be true if the person isn’t aware of it. I presume people are also more likely to say they’ve received unwanted physical interactions than to say they were raped.

You know, society used to think you couldn’t rape your wife either.
