More bitches? We definitely have a problem!

As a model for infinitely unique human characteristics that can be plotted along several different dimensions, the vector representation makes a lot of sense.

But as with anything that models reality, some of the nuance is lost because we can't feasibly infinitely detail the model for it to still be a useful representation.

So no, you're not crazy for framing gender as a vector space, you're just a huge nerd. ๐Ÿ˜‡

Hi Bitches, I'm the problem...? Wait...

Hey at least they hit with the "you will regret this", so the receiver knows in advance there's not going to be an end to the words to come.

That's a bug, thanks for reporting. Should be fixed with the next update!

Honestly? Didn't think that far ahead. Could be growing up twice as fast, but you might not want that. Could be learning things, in which case yay, but underwhelming. Could also be job/life experience, learning important lessons early to prevent making stupid mistakes?

It's your NG+, so your call. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Seeing all the recent news I can't help but feel the US is not a fun place to be right now.

I sincerely hope the political landscape calms the fuck down soon, and all of you can focus on the real issues again. It is beyond unreasonable how much attention some of these culture war topics are getting. It is also obviously a divide and conquer strategy and someone needs to break that cycle.

Are you applying for a job that has you representing the company to the public in any way? If so, you might find yourself less free in your appearance than you would if you have a desk job. And it's likely not just about being trans, but other things like piercings, tattoos and hair styles as well.

I'm not sure how well woker's rights are represented in law, either on a state basis or in the USA in general. But you might want to consider finding out with the interview if your potential employer really respects you being trans or not, even if you do so without actually mentioning you're trans. And if not I'm inclined to say the job is not a safe place for you. If you leave this up to chance, you might be in for a nasty surprise later on in your career there.

But I guess it all depends on how long you can afford to look for a job where you're going to be respected for who you really are. If you need work fast, there's also the option of just taking the job stealthily and almost immediately looking for a new job from there. All while pocketing the employment experience, which definitely helps your chances finding other work.

Ultimately there are two things you need to prove in an interview (if you're dealing with reasonable people and not bigots): Whether your personality doesn't make you clash with the colleagues you'll be working with. Wether your skillset matches what the employer is looking for, and employers have this bad habit of not mentioning wanted soft skills in the ad.

Do those two well and the only thing ruining your chances is your potential employer being a twisted bigoted piece of shit, in which case it's their loss.

Anyone else feel like there have been so many different ways the word "gay" has been used as a slur - both ironically and unironically - that the whole concept just kinda doesn't work anymore?

The only response my brain produces these days is just giggling and moving on. Like if your intentions are to shock me, I'm afraid that ship has sailed. Best thing I can compare it to is how poop jokes stop being funny when you hit a certain age, and start being a different kind of funny once you hit another.

But it probably really depends on your environment. Obviously if you do feel negatively about the whole, that's a completely valid stance to take. Don't think of this as me trying to ifluence what should and should not offend you.

Hahah thanks for the advice! I'm not really worried about dating. I wasn't kidding about these qualities being endearing to me though. So I guess you can count that as proof that someone out there will like you for who you are?

Yeah, that doesn't sound like I'm hitting on strangers on the internet, right?

Drive them over a bumpy road and it all turns into a bunch of gravel.. err yeah.

Definitely discussed titties with some of my gaybros before. Conclusion was "titties good", but sample size too low to know if that goes for the majority of gay men.

As with straight women though, the attraction kinda shifts from lust to more of an artistic appreciation. That doesn't matter here though. Message still stands: Boobs are something else.

Unless you're a cat, then I don't know what to tell you.
