--- Quote from: CM_albion on 20 Feb 2015, 04:27 ---i'm almost wondering if circumstances will lead to Marten and Claire at Tai's rave orgy, perhaps to "protect the library" in Claire's "BOOKS=SRS BSNS" mindset.
while their a drunken student is going to mistake her for a party goer, ask her why she isn't nude for the orgy yet and in a good natured way "help" by yanking her trousers down, in front of every.
maybe going too far for jeph, but it's a possible scenario[/list]

Short answer: No.
Long answer: NO NO NO NO NO.
I hope that helps.

I rather expected another "NO." I was reading that bit in the same voicing as that one part in "Bohemian Rhapsody" and came to the ending sooner than expected.

I usually only howl along with Warren Zevon. :clairedoge:

--- Quote from: snarkyone on 20 Feb 2015, 08:51 ---Okay consider for a moment, You are somewhere living your daily life. People keep coming up to you and asking a question, so you answer it. And then more come, and more still. All asking the same question or questions. So after a while you make a sign with the question and the answer and hold it up next to you, yet people still ask you the question. Over and over and over. Everyday of your life for years. Now you have to tell people how to read the sign less than 2 feet away from you? Does any of that seem rational?

Welcome to retail.

Yes, I remember those fun days. "where is this item?" Slowly turn 90 degrees and look at the shelf immediately to my right or left. "right there?"
The worst example of that though wasn't technically retail. I lived in Ocean City, MD for many years. For those that don't know, it's a penninsula, averaging about 2-4 blocks wide at most point. The number of people who asked me 'where's the beach?' is staggering. You can literally see the ocean 80% of the time you are out doors....

This.
I worked at one of those chain record stores (back when those were still a thing) and I'm stocking the cassette tapes (back when those were still a thing). A woman walks up to me and asks, "Where are the cassettes?" I turned around, looked at the twelve-foot wall of tapes, turned back around and looked at the lady and said, "I have no idea."

That happened once!

How did I forget that strip?!?

Oh if I was paid? That's a different story. But I'm not. The only thing I can hope for is that by answering a question here or there, that one day someone won't try bash my skull in cause I answered their mothers question and she raised them just a little bit better. Idealistic I know... a girl can dream though right?

--- Quote from: Aegir on 20 Feb 2015, 08:50 ---I completely disagree with this article. She doesn't believe that transwomen are real women.
--- End quote ---
Anyone that uses phrases like "Women born women" and argues that a word which describes people who aren't trans is somehow offensive, as if dark is bad description for the absence of light; is nothing more than a twatwaffle not worthy of your time, respect, or patience in the first place.

thank you. *hugs*

That's something I've had to come to terms with myself lately (oh poor me). I spent a good long time feeling that needing a label like 'cis' was silly, hypocritical, insulting, etc. -- to be fair, someone who isn't knee deep in gender issues is likely to first hear that kind of terminology in a way that -is- silly, trivializing, hypocritical, or insulting. Eventually I just chalk that gut reaction up to having to get to the point where I'm understanding myself as being 'part of a group' instead of associating myself with 'everyone' and people who are different as belonging to 'groups' that need the labels. That's a shift that made it a lot easier to internalize legitimacy for any other group.

I was commenting on people being willingly oblivious to signs two feet in any direction of their line of sight, rather than comparing the entirety of you post to retail as a whole. thus why I edited it down to that particular snippet :wink:
That said, I can commiserate on at least the superficial level of annoyance of being asked repeated about something (and not just in a work setting), if not the experiences referred to by you, and I realize that I'll never completely understand as I'm an 'outsider', as it were*. But I do hope that things do get better for you, and everyone else that shares those experiences.
*that I know of. There's a lot of things that I haven't worked out about myself, and who knows if I ever will. I am, in my own mind, a strange bird, haha.
