@DeptfordWife1 The stats back up what she is saying. When football teams lose, their supporters’ wives and girlfriends suffer.
I’m not sure the correct response to that is “Hope they win” tho.
@BellegardeSZN Believe it or not, there ARE men out there - cis men - who I would not sleep with. That doesn’t mean I don’t recognise them as being men. Not being interested in having sex with a trans man is not transphobic.
And… here’s the kicker… almost nobody trans thinks it is either.
We can argue about whether people above the retirement age should get free travel.
