So I live in a small town, a beautiful little town that comes to life in the summer when the folks with boats dock here on the St Clair River! Yeah, nothing here except lots of water a background for beautiful landscape…… Again, my town is small, it’s not unusual to be in Kroger, local hardware store, on a walk or bicycle ride and bump into someone you know, a “local”.
Perhaps y’all have heard me say that I enjoy McDonald’s iced tea, IF NOT, I DO! So today I pop into my local McDonald’s to purchase and enjoy an iced tea after my 3 mile-ish walk. Just another average day in small town Michigan…… What wasn’t “average” was that I happened to be in line behind a man who apparently identified today as being a woman. How did I come to this conclusion? The masculine voice, the larger feet, the leg hair all screamed “MAN” however the purse as well as the silhouette of the bra appearing through his tight tee-shirt and the massive “lady humps” that the bra held were an attempt to present him as a “female”. In one respect, I applaud him for living his authentic life however it bothers ME that I recognize that I am left confused and bothered.
The issue that I have is ME. I’m not sure that I can explain it in a way that you or anyone else could understand, why should this bother me?
Out of one side of my mouth I say that I’m happy he’s living his authentic life and being his authentic self, yet it bothered me. Perhaps it’s that mentality, MY MENTALITY of; not with me, not in/with my family, not in my life, not in my town, this only happens to someone else, this only happens somewhere else…… Does that kinda make sense? I probably would not think twice if I experienced it in California or New York City, but not in my town. I would like to think that I am open minded but apparently I am not and that bothers me a great deal.
the issues of mental illness are spreading all over the country. i see purple hair and crap all the time now in this part of the country and this used to be a fitting place to live.
Bella, it’s not just you, I’m sure everyone feels the same way, they just don’t talk about it. I don’t see it much and I live in a very populated area and when I see that I 👀 and shake my head and say to myself, “strange” but except it and just go on with my normal life. Even the colored hair is kinda weird why they do that. Bella, we both were brought up in a different time where it wasn’t excepted in normal society.
The color of hair doesn’t bother me, hair color is changeable.
I will “admit” to this, I’m not keen about too many tattoos OR piercings, either. Regarding piercings, sometimes both guys and girls go too far with piercing their face. If he wants to pierce his scrotum, have at it. If she wants to pierce her nipples, oh well, I don’t care. Now tattoos are another matter. On the face, in my opinion, not good, kind of a scary look. A sleeve, full sleeve on a man is kinda sexy. A sleeve/full sleeve on a woman, not so much…..
I understand the confusion. I am woke as fuck, but even I am confused sometimes.
A co-worker is a manly, but slender guy with long hair and a mustache.
Sometimes he wears manly clothes and sometimes he wears women's clothes.
He doesn't behave any different, but sometimes he just wears a dress and feminine ear-rings, like big red, orange or pink ones. That confused me. I didn't let him or anyone else notice, because I value his right to wear whatever he wants, without raising uncalled attention. Of course there is a dress code, so he shouldn't walk around in just a leather harness or something. He's just a gentlemen dressed as a lady, without in any other way pretending to be one. That confuses me. I have so many questions. However, that is none of my business, so I don't ask. If it doesn't come up in conversation, and he doesn't show any desire to talk about it, then I don't think I have a right to know all about his personal opinions or feelings.
Would I say I'm bothered? A bit, because my curiosity is not answered to, but other than that I have no negative feelings about it. I do have very positive feelings about him being accepted like he is.
I don't think society will ever progress to a state in which no one even notices anymore. Most of us have the standard sexual identity and attraction wired into our brains. That results in behavior and feelings which are consistent with the standard biology. Society might learn to more accept the biological variations, but people with standard biology will never appropriate those biological variations, even though some people are very worried that it's happening. People didn't all start writing with their left hand, when left-handedness got accepted. We are not all trying to do that, to fit in with the minority. We just accept it from others. People still say "Oh, are you left-handed?".
If I read correctly, the only thing you are bothered about is being bothered about it?
What is the feeling that you get when you are near them? When I first saw my co-worker,
it resulted in a feeling that I would describe as an 'error message' in my brain. I wouldn't say it bothered me, but I noticed some discomfort. I was still able to have a normal conversation with him. He never talked about pronouns, so I just call him 'him'. But, I wouldn't call him 'him' to his face, when he wears women's clothes, without raising the subject. It just didn't come up yet. That discomfort is gone now. I am always interested
in what he's wearing that day though, which I couldn't care less about for anyone else.
I did have such an 'error message' in my brain before, but a much more urgent one.
Years back, we went to an erotic fair, for the second or third time. That year, they had drag queens as greeters, they call themselves 'door bitches'. These ones were over the top, very tall, and I would say sexy too. They made me shy, and that doesn't happen a lot.
One of them made a kiss in my direction and said: "Hi honey!", in a very low voice.
That resulted in an 'error message' in my brain, of the likes last seen on Windows ME.
One part of my brain was filling my dick with blood and the other part of it screamed
"IT'S A GUY!!!!!". Interesting feeling. I hope I didn't show it too much.
Yes, you are correct, it bothered me that this man standing no more than 3 feet away from me, seemed to bother me and my senses. As an f.y.i., I am enrolled in a cardio drumming class and the instructor is a very butch female. Throughout my years of living and working, I have encountered a number of super butch women and I did not stare OR “analyze” them with the same intensity as this man. My actions bothered me.
Maybe you are spot on with regard to what you call it, my brain experienced an “error message”. Whatever it was, I didn’t like it, again, I thank you for your kind and wise words.
I can confirm that I never had the same “error message” in the brain, for a woman
who acts, dresses or even looks like a man. Over the years, we had friend circles that included gay men and lesbian women. We also got to meet their friend. One or two of the friends of the gay men gave me a few of those “error messages”, but the friend circles of the lesbian women never did. Don't you think that is strange?
I don't think it's societal, it must be something biological, but it's so strange that a woman feels it the same, for the same people, as a man. Overtly gay behavior is exaggerated feminine behavior. Drag queens are dressing and putting make-up on to create an exaggerated feminine look, with big tits, big butts and big red lips. That should only cause an "error" in the brain of a straight man, because it is attractive to straight men. Why would this cause an "error" in the brain of a straight woman? Straight women shouldn't be attracted to exaggerated femininity? However, butch lesbians are appropriating masculine behavior and looks. That should be attractive to straight woman. Why would that not result in an “error message” in their brain?
I am sure it's related to attraction, because I have had similar feelings, that I wouldn't really describe as an "error", but more like a "siren". I had that feeling in the sauna, when we were in a hot-tub with several people. There was one beautiful brown women that had already caught my attention, but I acted cool. But then she stood up to leave, passing along with her perfect ass about a foot from my nose, giving me direct view of her shaved pussy. Calling it a "siren" in my brain is an understatement. Can your head explode, without anyone noticing? I think I managed it.
I got a similar "siren", but only DEFCON 3, not DEFCON 1, when a very good looking woman showed me how to lay down on an x-ray machine. I was sitting on a chair next
to it and she lay down in a fetal position, making her tight jeans work very nicely together with her lower body, at very close proximity.
I accept the similarity of the brain "errors" and brain "sirens", as good evidence that
they are both related to my biological attraction.
It was 24 years ago today, that terrorists attacked our country. Thousands of people died and thousands more were injured. A sad, sad day in history, for sure.
I just saw on the news that the current prize for the Powerball in the US is
$1.4 billion! That's absurd. How about 14 prices of $100 million or seven prices of $200 million?
In Canada we have something called Lotto Max. The prize limit is capped at
$80 million and anything above that the kitty gives away $1 million prizes called Max millions. In order to win the million dollar prizes you have to have seven correct numbers.
There could be 2, 10, 15 or 20 million dollar prizes.
I seldom if ever buy a lotto ticket but oddly enough the largest winnings have been from tickets bought within 100 miles of me in the past couple weeks. 1 million here and another larger 1 later in the week.
but in regards to this big jack pot, i would wait until it was won and then buy a ticket a week later. to many being sold right now because of the big jack pot making the odds alot less in my favor.
I didn’t play the Powerball, the odds of winning are about 450 mill to one. Now the fl. Lott o was going for 31 million and the odds are about 70 million to one. Odds are so much better than playing Powerball and don’t you think 31 million is more than you can spend in a lifetime, so why not play the odds and go for the 31, I don’t want the billion, too much hassle paying taxes and people getting your phone number asking you for money, I’ll be happy with a mere one million.
I do not play the lottery and with that said, I don’t really follow the lottery. Thanks for the update, I was not aware that the jackpot had been won! Only two winning tickets, eh? The winners are in Texas and Missouri, eh? Even splitting the winnings, each ticket holder is going to receive more money than they will ever need in their life! Can you imagine receiving $410MILLION dollars? Like I said, I would be over the money with 5 to 10 MILLION
Will it ever stop raining, it’s been thundering all week, the week I decided to take off of work to paint my car, too wet and damp to do much, there’s just so much I can do in my garage without breathing in all the paint fumes.
By the way, my friends were saying that the weather in LaBelle has been high 80’s, low 90’s but raining…… I’m waiting for tornado season to come and go and then I will make my way to Florida.
And second job to keep the dog fed? No, a second job to buy the backhoe needed as a pooper scooper!
I knew Great Danes are large but there were a couple of breeds in there that I could not identify and have no idea what they are. Can you imagine one of those being a trained police K-9 partner? Who needs to train German Shepherds or the Belgian Malinois? Can you imagine one of those things charging in after you? They are the size of a Mini Cooper…….me, I would shit bricks and surrender immediately!
A grocery store sells pickle juice? I had NO IDEA that people wanted and bought pickle juice OR that there was a need for 1/2 gallon of pickle juice! Oi! What in the heck would you do with that much pickle juice? The things you will see and possibly “learn” on YouTube!
Pickle shots come to mind
1 double shot glass
Fill half way with stollitchnia 100 proof vodka
Top off with pickle juice
Garnish with a dill stem
There very good
Pickle juice is ok in moderation but not good for the kidneys, it contains salt and acids that are no good for you and it may give you high blood pressure if you take too much.
I believe there’s a homemade salad dressing that requires probably two tablespoons of pickle juice but I just can’t wrap my head around someone wanting to buy a 1/2 gallon of it!
There’s talk of a new detainment center for illegals in the panhandle of Florida
The name of this facility is the panhandle pokey
You got to love Florida
the whiners whined about the alligator place so i guess they had to make a new 1.
they should find where all the whiners live and put the illegals in their homes and let them feed them a while, r@pe their daughters and eat their cats, then maybe they would be ready to get rid of the illegals.
I’m still laughing about Ron Desantis and Greg abbot sending there illegals to Martha vineyards were Obama lives i love it that was instigated by our one and only Donald Trump
I think it’s going to be a new one and alligator Alcatraz is still in operation at this point but they say it’s to far away from the panhandle so they need another facility
Dgraff, how about a super facility in the Arizona desert where we send EVERY felon of any age in the nation no matter how small their crime is? It would save a lot of tax money and free up a lot of realestate. Meke prisons into Airbnb.
I say put the prison system up for bid to foreign countries and the cheapest bidder gets to keep them. it would prevent them from escaping back into our country and a country like china doesn't have all the red tape we have here. if anyone gets out just shoot the bastard and leave them laying there to stink and remind the others to remain for their sentence.
