Dude Looks Like a Lady

[GNTLGNT]

...whew!...you feel better now?.....

I need to add in some humour here.

As I mentioned, two of my son's friends intend to transition from female body to male body.

My son was given this chocolate.

And I said...."It's a man. And he's nut-free."

To which my son said "A lot of my male friends have no nuts."

Spoiler

you may think I'm a bad mom because a conversation like this occurs with my teen. Personally, I think it is one of the few signs I did something right as a mom.

...easy young lady...she's not throwing anybody under the proverbial bus...just adding a bit of levity to her post that apparently you took umbrage with...we all see things differently...no need to go into "attack mode"...you are guilty of casting aspersions yourself in that message...

I saw it the same way, sir.

Ms. Misery is a sweetie pie and would never be intentionally mean. When she, Misery, posted But she does need to work on her walking and crossing legs skills.....

I thought to my self, yeah. Learning to walk in heals, crossing your legs (as well as getting in and out of a car wearing a dress) correctly is a must. I have a lot of nieces and they learned these things.

Peace.

Hi, ma'am!

I don't think its bad. My son and I have a pretty good rapport. We can talk about serious issues or just goof on each other. We have boundaries but for the most part we can play around.

Have a great weekend!

Peace.

Re: the taking of sides etc... I don't think there has to be an "us" and a "them". Sometimes that attitude comes through without necessarily meaning to though, and it can be divisive.

Terence Stamp

I LOVE Bernadette!
Priscilla is one of my all-time favorites. They won an Oscar for those costumes.
Hugo Weaving was epic.

 

[Lepplady]

Useless drag trivia: The flip-flop dress worn by Mitzi (Hugo Weaving)

came about because they weren't allowed to use the credit cards they wanted to use. So they had to come up with something else. 50. cent flip flops from the discount market filled the bill.
But by the time the Oscars rolled around, Master card relented and issued just enough cards (good for exactly one day) to make the dress worn by the designer accepting the award.

...I thought that's what I was attempting to say, and even gave respect.....guess my 36 years in communications is for naught....

That chocolate is awesome. I think the fact that your son, who is a teenager, in this day and age of cyber bullies and mean kids has such an open mind is a testament to your mothering skills. It sounds to me like you did a damn fine job.

Et tu, Neesy?

Huh? - let's not talk about Caesar salad - it's Valentine's Day - have a chocolate!

Since my feminity has been called into question I have decided to take this opportunity to tell you all who I really am.

I only mean to provoke thoughts about the meanings of words and what it means to be feminine or not. Most drag queens are more feminine than I am. What is in the gender.

I wasnt taking umbrage at all, I mean that in society we ALL use these black and white terms and concepts. That's the problem.

As well this whole " calling people out and having people's backs " conversation is imo more silly than even what I said or how anyone took it. This is a message board. Topics are debated and discussed " calling people out " and " having people's backs," proverbial high fives over family and " dissension among the ranks..."

This is a website where discussions are had. Sometimes fairly serious discussions. I would consider trans issues and rights fairly serious and I have no problems getting into passionate discussions about it, but to get extra excited about my comment and have to " defend " people with such strong dramatic language is quite silly.

It's a discussion- if a grown up can enter a discussion a grown up can live with not liking the discussion and not need rescue from another said grown up. Nice bit of chivalry but the OP is a grown woman.

As for " this is a family and the core of us don't tolerate dissension among the ranks " I get it, I'm not one of you, and therefore have less area to offend as I'm not a regular and I don't " own " this message board. Touche, point taken.

You don't have to be a regular to be appreciated - you are welcome here anytime - we just appreciate humour and like to have fun.

Myself - I try to avoid politics and religion threads, but to each his own

If I wanted to go see negativity I would be on Facebook every day rather than here.

Anyhoo - back to the Dude Looks Like a Lady thread:

this guy - he played Chi-Chi in "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar"

Andy thought of the three guys dressed as females, he was the only believable one.

You missed the last line that is usually associated with the Perfect Man - the chocolate man:

and if he p*sses you off - you can bite his head off!

I have to admit that I'm a little relieved that you're not Johnny Depp.......

I've learned from other posts that Mr. Depp is NOT to be messed with. Hands off! At least in the non literal sense
