Do we really want to be Socialists?

That's absolutely awful... and naturally targets women. North Korea isn't really socialist though. More of a dystopian hellscape with a mad dictator. Not too different from the US actually. 

 

That was snarky. Mostly true, but snarky.

You'r right but felt bad for the women who would like to wear female attire and look attractive. I'd hate to have such an oppressive government.

Agreed. We need to make sure this sort of thing doesn't become commonplace. Every woman deserves the chance to feel comfortable with herself, what she's wearing, who she is and who she wants to be.

Women caught wearing a particular type of wrinkle-free trousers are pushing back against the crackdown, arguing with inspectors tasked with regulating their attire.

 

I say Down with wrinkle-free trousers. Boo To them. An iron and board was good enough for my Mother and my mothers mother. They dont know they are born today,

 

Problem is. The culture is all diffrent. We might get all narked about what they do in the east. However For them its been normal to respect the past traditions.  Are we just imposing our moral values on them?

 

Now im not saying they are right. I would be the first to say. Kim Jong un....... Bit of a nutter isnt he?

 

But unlike say japan where they have many traditions they have also embraced western culture But also kept there own to Where North Korea is a closed state. Only now is it beginning to open a little. Lets not forget North and South Korea was technically still at war with each other. Just a cease fire kept them from tearing each other up.   South Korea intially refusing to actually sign a peace agrement then therefore  I can see why they run a tight ship.

Even japan was very much like this pre 1945.

 

So to lay blame on anyone. Lets try South Korea and the west in general as realistically peace wasnt reached until 2018. So it took 65 yeas for peace. You can kind of understand why they are a little bit aprehensive about western culture really.

“She was unable to report for work. The woman appealed [to the inspectors] saying she was in an urgent situation and was unable to [wear appropriate] clothing, but the inspectors made a spectacle out of her by having her stand by the side of the road,” said the source.

 

 

That is an improvement. Being honest 10 years ago they would have chuicked her in prison for less. Give them time.

 

Im all for change. But is our culture for the better? I guess the history we make today will be our judges when viewed in  the future

 

maybe im wrong but if it was you. Would you be willing to embrace some strange fashion statement if your neighbour wore it just after you had a bust up with them and shook hands after years. I do not think you would embrace there culture straight away either..

 

 

The article seems to miss out the history and reasons behind the why is it like this. Just telling the here and now.

The here and now is the time in which these women live, by their actions they are saying screw history, we want to look like women and be pretty. I can't slight them for that!

That's an excellent point. It's easy to forget that tradition has a much tighter hold on hearts and minds in the East. My inner mamma bear just gets grumbly when women are being mistreated. It's easy to forget how different things are in a closed, repressive state like North Korea when South Korea is so Westernized.

 

I can't guess about culture in Scotland. My great-grandmother left when she was 14 and wouldn't talk about her trip after she went back to visit. I've had friends who came to visit and came back saying good things so I'd guess probably. I'd say US culture is better in some ways, worse in others. We could use more of their connection with our neighbors. I like having enough food to eat. I'd like better access to things North Koreans take for granted. There could probably be something of a beneficial cultural exchange if we could both step back a bit from the lunatics who are somehow in charge. It's certainly possible to improve the future without forgetting the past. As an American, I'm the first to admit we're terrible at it, but it's been done elsewhere.

 

I like wrinkle-free clothing though. Ironing is a tremendous bother.

 

Hugs!

You have a lovely smile in that picture of yours Jackie. A sight to behold ?

 

Scotland. What can i say. It rains a lot. Its cold most of the time. But the people are freindly and the whisky is wonderful. Also it would seem im getting a thing for a nice man in a kilt. So its a win win for me.

 

I dont live in bigger towns or city. but do pop in from time to time. Realistically its just like any other city in anysville. But just with culture. However the scots always like to have there own spin on it as you will observe. below

That Traffic cone has always been there. Its actually in the centre of Glasgow. Im sure theres a reason but never asked.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As far as I'm aware, he wasn't -- he just sometimes wore skirts, which was why it was a question in the first place.   In my opinion, part of that is because of the way press spares attention on issues like that. As a bit of a true crime nut and what I see: Child predator cases' (and cases of a sexual nature in general) press focus on those with an AMAB perpetrator generally, and very rarely are AFAB perpetrators given much press time or even getting tried due to a whole bunch of issues I'm not gonna get into. Because of this, when you see these types of cases and a boy is the victim, it's almost always a queer person who is the one who committed a crime that gets press. Therefore, with the amount of cases seen with this type of perpetrator (and due to the fact "99% of queer people are not sexual criminals" doesn't attract eyes), the human brain can kind of naturally makes an association with it. It's not right, but it's also a fault I think falls partially on the media.   That's all my opinion, though!   This is extra confusing to me, as a feminine man is usually viewed as gay. If someone is refusing the acknowledge the existence of trans people, then gay would be the societal connection that comes after, I think. So, that sorta implies that trans women wouldn't be interested in women in the first place by those assumptions? Of course, trans lesbians exist (most trans women I know like women, actually), but it's a little ridiculous to me that people will deny trans people's existence, call all feminine AMAB people gay, and say that trans people are looking to peep all in the same breath.   Wow, this was a lot longer of a response than I was planning to write--

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US.

      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending.
