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.

      Them's fighting words, but I intend to discuss this respectfully, calmly and so forth, in accordance with the forum rules.   Considering the one issue below in isolation:   There is a political calculus that trans folk may be better off under Trump than under Biden.  The argument goes that Biden has created such a backlash by moving so far to the left that red states, in particular, are reacting with a swarm of laws that negatively impact trans folk.  Some of his actions strike many people as clumsily forcing unwanted regulation on people, and some of his appointments, such as the luggage stealing bigender individual, have not helped advance trans folk but rather the reverse.  In a second term Biden would make things worse for trans folk because of the backlash and resentment his policies would create.    Trump likely would have negative impacts to trans folk, as he did in his first term with respect to the military, so it is a set of tradeoffs as to which is worse.   Thoughts?

      Can you dress androgynously?

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.

      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
