I've only ever seen two in the open (in 56 years), which is weird considering they're like 10-15% of what you see on tv now.

Yes, someone I worked with on a project well over a decade ago in Colorado. It was a controls project and she is an excellent coder. I had suspicions the first time I saw her. I asked one of her coworkers who acted as though he wasn't sure but I think he feigned ignorance. Eventually, she did tell me she was her biological children's father. I feel like those kids are going to be a bit confused though I guess they are adults now.

If you wonder why I use the pronoun she, it is simply because I initially knew and worked with his person as a female remotely and only met her months into the project so I think of her as a she. This was well before all this was accepted and she was not demanding or in any way overt or demanding. She looked like a sort of plain to slightly homely tall thin girl. I have no idea if the plumbing matches the pronoun nor do I want to find out. Have not spoken to her since that project which ended probably 15 years ago.

Just the hookers...seriously though. Growing up in Vegas they were drug addicts and hookers. You'd have some bleeding hearts feel bad for them when they got beat up. Average person knew it was a deal gone bad. Back then you knew it was a mental health issue and they couldn't operate in society hence the drugs and hooking

I don't do the hiring. And they're dependable, show up, and do their jobs well. I don't know the last time you worked in a kitchen but most cooks are fricked up or antisocial in some way, which is why they're cooks tucked back in a kitchen.

If they can show up and do their jobs on a regular basis you can either overlook their other flaws or shutter your restaurant because perfect people aren't lining up around the block to cook in kitchens these days.

Sorry we weren't able to get Thomas Keller to devein shrimp for you for $20 an hour, you smug bitch. If you think the food you're already eating in restaurants isn't being made by dropouts, ex-cons, active criminals, drunks, druggies, homosexuals, trannies, assholes who can't get along with general public, illegals, and the occasional fresh faced culinary school grad who can't keep up with everyone else, you're an even bigger idiot than I thought.

No.

But my friends tend to deal with reality. Cannot relate to those who deny it.

I went to college with a person who started out as a straight guy but became gay. He then had a sex change operation and dated guys for a while but then switched to women.

I don’t know who started the trans trend, but whoever it was, needs an arse whipping where everyone can watch.

I used to have a customer about 10 years ago who was a man that was beginning the process of transitioning. At first he started out only dressing up as a woman, and it was painfully obvious. Over a few months he was doing the hormone therapy and it was quite interesting to see the changes. He was quite shy at first, but he became very open about what was going on and would talk about it if asked, especially after a couple of martinis. I got to know him pretty well and he was actually a very cool person and fun to have a conversation with. Never once did he push the whole Trans bullshite down anyone's throat like so many of them do, he was just doing his thing, but this was also before the major societal push of the Trans shite. I believe he was a manager at a sushi place in New Orleans at the time. I believe he settled on Anastasia as his new name, but I haven't seen him for years. That's all I got.

Can't be true.

No one is YOUR superior.

Maybe to someone above you, that you answered to?

My child has a trans child in their class. They are 8 and in the third grade. Started pre-k 4 as a boy and began transitioning to a girl in 1st grade. This is their last year in Louisiana because supposedly the law won’t allow the child to fully begin transitioning (i.e hormone therapy and surgery) so they are moving to Massachusetts after school is over.

i know 1 for sure, and HE was that way since i met him. he was suuuper feminine since i met him in middle school, but just hid the trans part thru highschool.

nicest person ever. always was nice.

i think it started with my generation when the internet became a real thing for us in middle school. there was a huge process by which many were "educated" about the matter. before the internet, he would have just been happy to suck d and call himself gay. i'm sure of it.

Yeah, I know a few. My closest friend of them is also like the third best snowboarder I know and the other two have been in the XGames.

It was weird at first but at this point, same as any other friend I got.

Hentai???


A Long time John Hopkins study with boys identifying as a female found most needed to come to terms with being gay and counseled on accepting their bodies and things they truly can’t change. This was better than alternative as there will always be differences no matter how many surgeries or hormones treatments and no matter how many times terms get redefined.

This has been made akin to witchcraft now by leftist elites, but I recently have read more articles on how some ex-transitioners have started to feel the same way. Some also mentioned how easy it is to get “diagnosed” and once subject is brought up no one pushing trans will ever let the person think differently. Counseling is 100% about moving forward with surgery and so on only. It makes it difficult to get objective help when doubts pop up, and many have now had surgeries they now regret.

Going against decades of studies someone flipped a switch politically, and all of a sudden it became moral and just to mutilate kids and also push surgery as being the same as biological development, sex, and genetics. We then take a step further and promote trans being stereotypes of chosen identity when that is usually frowned upon when done or pushed by others and having a right to pronouns.

Male to female or female to male? Stronger or weaker athletic competition?

I suspect it has always existed to some degree,


Ironically, my kid isn’t the first in my family, so it’s possible there is a genetic link. Growing up, my mom talked about her cousin John who had a “sex change.” I never met them, as they lived in another state and were much older (would be 70-80 now.) I remember the family either cracking jokes about it or blaming the mom, saying she must have encouraged it because the kid was seen trying on dresses as a kid in the 1950s. Also, there’s a great-uncle on the other side who is gay. Maybe it skips a generation.

It’s interesting that the gender issues showed up very young in an otherwise traditional Catholic family, and our family didn’t have any known sexual abuse victims or anything else that would be considered out of the ordinary. I’ve been asked many times if my kid was ever abused or molested, because people think something must have happened to make them this way.
