@BlueVeins You get the range here don't you? lol

Adroneandastrain · 46-50, M
Totally agree!!

Well last night on the post you made about being from EP your last comment to me stung when I said I just moved into being a full-time cross dresser and you replied "Whatever", but I did not hate on you. I just wanted you to know that stung me and I did not expect that.

@WillaKissing I'm sorry for your PTSD but I must ethically (honestly) disagree. It's all about sex. You are male dressing as a female (those are sexes). I don't wish to discuss your habits any further.
WillaKissing · 61-69, M
@Catastrophe I respect that, but you are 100% incorrect!
Catastrophe · New
@WillaKissing

I'm not.

Edit: I will say that I don't know what your situation is, I don't know you. If it helps you to cross dress, I really don't care but you just made a point of it, out of the blue. I think, for your own mental health, you should understand that not everybody is going to agree with you and it's not healthy to try to change the world and make people think the way you do. Especially with something like this. Thank you for respecting my boundaries and I enjoy reading your comments otherwise.

@4meAndyou Hahaha, just started watching, soooo true! Empty vessels make the most noise, this is an enjoyable watch!
4meAndyou · F
@Catastrophe I LOVED it! Explains SO much!!!
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
I need to observe this more.
Orphic · F
Wish they do that I really do , but I think in SW it's not going to happen.
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
True. I found a great deal of inner peace when I stopped caring what other people thought.
Catastrophe · New
@DunningKruger Yeah, it's a waste of time. People like that are going to believe what they want. If they were truly firm in their beliefs, they wouldn't need to force it on other people/insult them, they'd be quietly confident. I feel the need to be honest and that really pisses people off. It doesn't matter to me, that's on their end. Also, I am always willing to look at something a different way, if someone is respectful. No one can fool me because I've been there, done that. I'm not perfect, just learned over time.
This is part of why I no longer engage with a well respected user on here. Extremely volatile and disrespectful. I have no interest in it.

So then you don't believe what you said on your previous post?

Catastrophe · New
We all have a right to our own opinions here.

One thing I defo have realized though, is how very often people project.
Catastrophe · New
@Magenta Nothing I've said contradicts that. Perhaps you don't understand the difference between an opinion and abuse? That is very common with people who come from abusive backgrounds.

You're free to block me, if you don't like me. You're clearly salty about something I've already forgotten.

@Magenta Having an opinion is different than twisting facts to suit your own goals. And arguing a point that is wrong is different than expressing an opinion.
@Magenta Projection is in all our everyday lives, forced on us by advertisers constantly. Mosquitoes will kill you, rats spread disease, toe fungus will never go away, those are all projections. It's everywhere. Used to promote certain business sections. How about EV cars only last 10 years.. another projection.
If a person can't treat someone that they disagree with, with respect, their opinion means nothing

Wise words but so tough to follow.

@rinkydinkydoink I find it has to do with respect. It's all about respect. If someone charges at me, OR others, for having a different view than them, then I instantly lose respect for them to the point that nothing they say really matters. If I simply disagree with something but that person is respectful (and therefore worthy of respect)... it's a entirely different situation and I enjoy being challenged with new ways of viewing things.
Brainwashing has a huge effect on peoples thoughts. Like religion, if you believe there is a god there is nothing anyone can say to change your mind. Same with family relationships, if your father beats your mother, chances are you will beat your wife as well. It isn't logical but it is ingrained deep, and rarely changes.
I get what you’re saying, but there are some opinions that are difficult to treat respectfully, especially when they come from a place of ignorance (or worse, bigotry). 🤔

In the past, if I thought a person’s beliefs were simply based upon not knowing the facts, I might provide them. Nowadays I’m more likely to just say "um hmm" and move on. 🙂
Catastrophe · New
@bijouxbroussard Well, sure. A lot of what people call bigotry today is up for debate.

I indirectly called myself neurodivergent and many charged at me, saying it's a label etc. etc. Well, that's fine, but scientific evidence shows otherwise. Is that ignorant bigotry?

On the other hand, there is someone here that randomly started talking about cross-dressing. That's not something I am interested in, I don't feel comfortable with it, and it wasn't pertinent to the conversation. I grew up around gay people, many of them think it's homophobic behaviour. It crosses women's boundaries too. A knee jerk reaction - you're a bigot! I'm not though, I am fully aware and have studied the situation in depth. I respect boundaries and those who do not aren't worthy of respect. .

What I won't tolerate is racism and sexism. That isn't a choice.
@Catastrophe
That last sentence is my bottom line as well.

I’m a senior and have seen lots of things and ideas change and evolve during my lifetime. In many cases, even the science as was previously believed has been updated.

I admit that much of it I don’t always understand but I’m willing to be educated.
Catastrophe · New
@bijouxbroussard I really respect your openness to seeing different points of view. Your mind is more scientific than many who think they are the authority on everything (I grew up with a quantum physicist that drilled the scientific method into me lol). You're right too.. like about eggs and how they were demonized by scientists in the past.

Fr, many people here have the emotional maturity of a child. I've replied to posts and literally have three, four users throwing insults at me because they disagree with my view.
Catastrophe · New
@Mudkip This behaviour has to change in our society. It's really keeping/making people ignorant . Such a shame. I want to be on the positive side of life, not tearing people down but building them up!
Mudkip · 31-35, M
@Catastrophe yes, I agree with you. I've been called a republican, Trump supporter, right winger (list goes on) for simply having a different view. It is always the same users that have this gang mentality, one replies to me and the rest come marching like a calvary to defend their ill-informed peer. Shame that civil discussion seems like something from the past.
Catastrophe · New
@Mudkip We can change that! It all starts with us. 🤗

Likes mean nothing on social media... people are always going to find people with the same opinion, even if they're wrong. Happened in Nazi Germany too. I happen to be one of those people that sees Trump's ignorant side/choices but ALSO I see the good things he has done, as well. Uh oh many hate me now. I was also just called a democrat? lolol I'm not even American. Silly people.

Those are known as dimocrats / socialists / liberals. All they do is argue points that are totally wrong but cannot admit it.

@EldritchFox Like "Men's Rights" groups, or "Boomers who don't understand why their kids went no contact"

@Akimbo75 I was curious what rights men don't have in any/every culture. And the only right any man on the whole planet doesn't have is the right to opt out of responsibility of their child(ren). They have to at least pay child support.

That's it 😑
