Thank you for your reply. I don't think you're trying to be unkind and I also understand it's how headlines work. It's a reasonable point to make in a general discussion about trigger warnings. However, if someone is saying that they are currently triggered, no matter how they are expressing it, it's not ever going to…

I think some other people were talking about being triggered by the headline on GT, so you may want to look there. Please be extra good to yourself today.
Ok. People still have the right to say if they were triggered by it. I personally wasn't triggered, or maybe I was and it hadn't hit me yet (that happens sometimes too), but I was kidnapped and tortured and raped for the purpose of forced prostitution, so I can definitely understand how it could cause a trauma…
I think the issue is that the title itself is triggering for some people.
Idk. Rules about wedding gifts are weird and (I think) outdated. You can register for a $150 mixer, but not a $150 ottoman. Then again, aside from etiquette, I think if it were open-ended like for a down payment, I might feel pressured to spend more than I would have just selecting something from a registry.
Considering he equates the need for birth control with lack of libido control, I'd say that's a correct interpretation.
I think it seems practical, especially if you've already been living together and don't need any housewares, but I can also see how others could think it a huge faux pas.

It only sounds silly until you realize just how big a 22 pound cat is:
Thank god I don't drink like that anymore.
Well, it seemed quicker and more pleasant than rehydrating by forcing down a million ounces of Gatorade, so I thought it was sensible in a way, although I always opted for the Gatorade.
Maybe the person who did this was drunk? I used to live with a doctor, and he did this to himself. I remember one time I went into the bathroom in the morning, and the walls were covered in blood from him being too smashed to insert it properly the night before.
I don't smoke anymore, but I imagine if I did, I would just buy all the pharmacy stuff at my local CVS and then walk across the street to the gas station that's right next door rather than driving an extra fifteen minutes to go to walmart, which I also boycott. I know it's specific to me, but your scenario is rather…
I think you're absolutely right that it depends on the situation. And I can see how it would be harmful to be around someone who is not treating you with empathy and respect period, but especially after you've bared your soul to them. Maybe you'll be able to be friends in the future, if that's what you want, but I can…
Other people who have more patience for this kind of thing have taken the time to frame things in a thoughtful way in their responses to you. Yet you're not responding to Andi or oetpay when they are addressing your argument directly and giving you legitimate reasons why these terms matter.
Oh, right. We don't need a category for cis or trans. Trans folk just WANT to separate themselves. Better to pretend that gender identity is meaningless so we can all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
Congratulations, you're a master of derailing. You've won.* Your entire approach is a great example of how not to talk to marginalized groups when they are discussing their oppression. I suggest you follow the above link; you may learn one or two ways you hadn't thought of to further derail this discussion even though…
FFX was a lot more fun. It didn't have to be linear; the reason it is better is that there were more options and more user control. Personally, I really liked the world and story much better for X as well. I'm really looking forward to playing it again in March! I'm not one to hang onto things or collect things, but I…
