Ok. I consider myself a pretty tolerant guy when it comes to LGBTQ issues. I'm for gay marriage, cool with people identifying with different genders, cool with trans people. 100% for gay adoption.
But, in the airport today, I saw a guy, about 30, overweight and balding. Had short hair and a full beard. He was wearing blue eye shadow, mascara, pink lipstick, silver painted nails, and his eyebrows were shaped like a woman's. Now if he was transgender why the beard, and no wig, and dressed in man clothes too.
I don't know, I found it kinda creepy. I didn't stare or say anything, but I thought it was odd. Does that make me an asshole? It's not like the guy was in a glam metal band.

idk, if you didn't actually do anything then all is good. there might be a little guilt or questioning of your thoughts but that seems normal enough. the whole trans thing isn't my fight. i'm not gay but was a huge advocate of gay marriage/equality. i feel trans people should have the same civil rights as everyone else but it's not an issue that is going to get me to go to rallies or phone bank.

i still don't really understand why trans is grouped in with gay/lesbian/bi. trans is about who you are and the other 3 are about who you want to bang. they seem like very different issues to me.

i also think that there is a segment of people who may want to label themselves gender fluid or want to be referred to as a certain pronoun because those are now popular catchphrases. in reality i think it is more about looking/acting different on purpose in order to attract attention. just to be clear, i think that is a small segment of the trans population like the person you described in your post and it is not indicative of the larger group.

Whatever works for people is fine.

being judgmental and mocking others is what works for me. ;)

So naturally you voted for Mike Pence.

i don't think the court is going to overturn such a modern decision like gay marriage in the next 4 or 8 years. trump has said it is a non issue with him and he has also taken both positions on the NC trans law so i don't think that is by any means one of his priorities. i also made my hillary thoughts pretty clear in the politics thread over the last 18 months.

this morning was finally the day i had to bite the bullet and buy a new keurig machine. for months now i had to only fill my current machine's water reservoir half way otherwise it would make a god awful noise when it pumped the water from the reservoir into the heating element. that wasn't so bad. but this morning i made one cup and got nothing but wet grounds in the cup. i made a second cup and the stream that fills the cup was more like a trickle. same thing happen when i tried a 3rd cup.

so i decided to get the k250.

it was relatively cheap on amazon at $84. i wanted one that had both a screen and a water reservoir and this was the cheapest option that met both those criteria. i've had my current machine for something like 3+ years and i use it everyday so i guess it had a long enough life. lets hope this new one lasts even longer.

I hate the coffee those things make. I just ground some beans in my Capresso

and brewed them in my Bonavita

A little over $200 for those, but the coffee is worth every penny. And whole beans are so much cheaper than K-cups. I think I spend about $15/month on fresh roasted Ethiopian Harrar beans.

nothing better than being kinda excited about a new purchase and then being immediately one-upped and told it sucks. Thumbup2:
