Cheers!

"personally I think they do exactly the same thing."

Aww, thanks, positive feedback is much appreciated. Especially since when I see I have 3 replies I immediately go "Oh no! I have angered people! Delete Jezebel account quickly!"

I agree with you, and maybe I'm working a little too hard to be forgiving since I was a "Nice Guy (TM)". I do think that a lack of socialisation with women can be a problem post high-school, especially when university courses in many areas are stilly very gender segregated. This is more anecdotal, but I know that for…

Whenever this topic comes up here or in the geek community, where i also spend a lot of time, I always feel like commenters are too quick to vilify those who subscribe to the "Women don't like nice guys" fallacy. Yes, it's unmitigated bullshit, but it isn't something cooked up out of thin air by single losers living…

The general state combined with the style of flooring instantly reminded me of the relief I felt when staying with my easy-going aunt just after staying with her uptight sister. Man it was amazing not to feel like I couldn't make the slightest bit of mess without being chastised.

"screaming like they are getting murdered"

I remember seeing a video of one which was incredibly loud and piercing. It might have just been that one fox, but I would not like to be those people's neighbour.

OK, I get the feeling that maybe, maybe, you all don't want to hear another guy's preference on this, but I do want to say that for me at least, I couldn't care less. To the extent that when I was younger I wondered if I was deeply closeted. My interests lie elsewhere, there are just so many things I find attractive…

To paraphrase the wonderful Alan Bennett, asking me what kind of boobs I prefer is like asking a man dying of thirst whether he likes his water sparkling or still.

I started to close it after I'd been living alone for a couple of years and realised I was forgetting to close it even when I had company. Luckily no one ever saw, but it did make me thank that leaving the door open was a bad habit to get into.

Your posts are annoyingly articulate when all I can manage in response is "Ah-yup". But you're saying my words better than I can.

So would it be patronising to say that trans people always seem to have the best stories? That's probably not unrelated to that whole "lower life-expectancy than gang members" thing though. Really glad to hear about you and your mum btw, I was all ready to be angry at her on your behalf till I read your post again and…

Annoying isn't it?

It's a pity they never got the whole "logic" thing too though.

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset anyone. I just found the OP's comment really patronising, as if being misgendered was something rare and devastating for trans people, when it seems like daily life from what I had gathered. If it really is that bad then you truly have my sympathies, I didn't realise.

Cheers. I have my moments.

I know trans-erasure is a real thing, but I'm guessing they get this constantly anyway, so perhaps the impact wouldn't be that great. "really heartbreaking" seems a little hyperbolic to me, I mean give them some credit yeah? Also not sure why you specified M2F?

Yeah. I like the idea of using this for an anti-rape ad, but which only targets men. I see a lot on this site about the frustration at anti-rape ad campaigns which still put responsibility on women, using this tech could be a cool way to subvert that.

The time she served ended up counting for the false accusations she made against her boss (who's name I've forgotten now), which she was convicted for. So....no.
