"I thought you said Debbie was top of her class?"

"Yeah, I did."

"But her grammar is terrible!"

"Not that kind of top ..."

My wife openly says she left Hungary because of the dictatorship, nobody has ever reacted to her negatively for it.

The impression I get from most Hungarians I've met is that if you can speak another language then getting out is the smart move.

Never met a horse IRL that liked wearing a bridle ... are they both subs?

Yes, it's one of the maybe 3 times my mother has been genuinely honest about herself with me so it's a very treasured memory

Oh sister, no. The whole "maybe I'll date you if you beg" thing is a huge red flag - I'm sorry, but your crush is not a nice person and beat avoided.

I'm sorry.

You should watch his episode in The Last Of Us season 1, nobody not progressive would have taken that role and he knocked it out of the park.

One of the best single episodes of TV I've seen in my life.

I'm 48 now, used to be like you. Now I have to do exercises to sort the bits that manual work and sports don't reach ... if I don't exercise properly I can't do the manual labour without a lot of pain :-/

It's not so bad once you get used to it, just put on some pumping music and enjoy the endorphins :-)

Oh yeah, on Reddit I got called a feminazi or similar on the regular. Ironically it was usually in response to the most tepid of takes, while the actual radical stuff didn't get anything ... I guess they didn't like the idea that someone might put up a fight?

Meanwhile, my sister in law said to my wife recently that DEI has gone too far ... she's a well paid executive, who if it weren't for DEI would never have got her job. My other half has been trying to gently steer her back to sanity.

After the Brexit vote came in I moved away to a lefty part Europe as fast as I could, because I'm a queer woman and I've read the history books.

Every time I've returned to visit my parents the place has seemed to be more shitty ... last year I came away feeling down just from the vibes.

I'm so sorry for the beautiful Trans people of the UK, you deserve better, you deserve to be safe. If you can, get the fuck out of that country - where I am now Greggs would be considered a hate crime, never mind this bullshit.

That's pretty much exactly the opposite of how it worked in Britain from Victorian times through to the 90s

Gender non-conforming lesbian here ... this is totally going to be used against people like me, too.

I feel so sorry for young queers in the UK having to grow up with these sorts of attitudes, when I was at school it was Section 28 and I genuinely thought we'd got past that, but the fascist bigots never sleep!
