    Serious answer: Anyone who identifies as one.

    I literally can’t pin it down more than that as there are exceptions to every rule. Same goes for a man.

      No. While people have the freedom to call themselves whatever they want, I also reserve my own freedom to call them whatever the f*** I want. It works both ways. At least it should.

          I should be able to call a man in dress a man, without any legal consequences. Snowflakes simply shouldn’t be able to terrorize others.

        You can call anyone what you want. You have that freedom like anyone else. Like everyone else you can be considered a extremely rude and not nice if you dead name or miss gender.

          Fair enough, but sometimes legislation is passed that makes deadnaming and misgendering illegal which it most definitely shouldn’t be.

        what is a singer? a runner? a painter? Do I have to win a marathon to be runner, or can I be a runner and run a mile a week at 5mph? If you see me running that mile, am I not “the runner over there?”

        Regarding your own freedom, if someone says “My name is Elizabeth, you can call me Liz, Lizzie, Liza, Eliza… just not Beth please,” and you go “Ok BETH.” - yeah, that’s your freedom to do that, you’re still an asshole.

              That we must comply with everybody’s whims and thus let men beat women in female categories of sports, allow doctors to maim kids just because they think they’re trans, and a lot of similar crap.

                So you think trans people are icky and don’t understand what’s going on.

                Have you ever talked to a trans person? You should try educating yourself on the subject instead of rejecting a whole group of people based on vague feelings. There are no men in women’s sports and children are not usually subject to gender affirming surgery.

                  Man, telling people what to do should be illegal. You should study more because I said so.

                  There are no men in women’s sports and children are not usually subject to gender affirming surgery.

                  Bro, you should read your own comments before blatantly lying.

    I want to say y’all are paranoid. But.

    My wife came home one night, hammered. OK. Fuck me, she drove home?! Not proud to say, but we drank and drove a lot in those days, got a hotel or cab if we were smashed.

    Next day she doesn’t remember a thing but having a second drink at the bar with the girls. Nothing else. C’mon! Could hardly believe it, chewed her out for driving drunk, she insisted she only had 2 or 3 drinks. Bullshit. Takes more than a couple of drinks for us to black out. Hell, we never got that drunk.

    She got to talking to her friends that were regulars at that bar. Regulars who had the same bar tender. Same exact experiences. You add it up.

    She wouldn’t report it. Because what are you going to report exactly?

    Having said all this, that’s my only story on the subject. And I’ve done a lot of sketchy shit, ran with sketchy people. Date rape drugs are not as common as you might think. But they are indeed a thing.

        No doubt. People do this shit even without rape plans. Either they think it’s funny or someone pissed them off so they decided to ruin their night or perhaps their life.

        My friend got dosed in Denver and ended up with multiple charges due to his behavior. He had two drinks at a bar, left, then did insane things that can’t be explained by just being shitfaced.
