ok, that’s fair - change “gender assigned at birth” to “either traditional binary gender”

I wasn’t talking about you. Why would I be talking about you?

Ah ok, I thought it was an original comic

Point taken, and thank you for not being an ass over a difference of opinion!

So, to be clear, you’re saying that someone who is happy to present as their gender assigned at birth, behave like their gender assigned at birth, who doesn’t feel dysphoria, and is socialised as their gender assigned at birth can be non-binary?

Why would I think that anyone owes me androgyny? I just think that if someone is shown as living a happy life in a specifically binary manner, they aren’t representative of enbies.

Of course people can present how they want, or how they need to in order to survive, and will still be valid. This comic didn’t give me that impression.

Big ditto on wanting androgynous representation … or blending outside of the binary representation!

To my eyes, both characters appear to be drawn in an extremely feminine manner.

If anybody wants to both present themselves and behave in an entirely binary manner, but feels differently on the inside, then that’s entirely valid … I think most of us have at least struggled with that at some point, if not for most of our lives.

But that’s not something being shown or described in this comment. There are rafts of comics depicting binary people, so from that the comic seems at best to be lazy or perhaps thoughtless.

Given that it’s a catch-all term, I suppose so … from my perspective it would feel like cross-dressing.

Yeah, it’s a nice idea but feels like enby erasure

This was Mad Max Fury Road. Went to see it in my own, then enthusiastically dragged all my friends along … nobody else enjoyed it in my friend circle :-(

Absolutely - I was going to say, Spain is head and shoulders above the UK for LGBT safety (those are the only two countries I’ve spent a lot of time in recently).

Also worth noting, I’ve been in the non-touristy parts of north Vietnam for a month now (much more conservative than the south), and having talked to quite a few LGBT people here, it’s safe to live as an openly queer person, they just occasionally have to put up with assholes … just like everywhere else. And as a guiri, even the assholes don’t want to confront me, an obviously queer woman.

This is fantastic, thank you <3

Unless it’s a station wagon it’s not going in.

Thank goodness the government is standing up for vulnerable LGBT kids!

/s

I hope all those spineless suits burn. Those poor kids, they deserve better from society.

They are, but the Scram is a full-frame bike too - essential for off-roading IMO!

Good choice, my workhorse bike is a 2021 Himalayan (so, basically the same bike but with some extra crap on the front)

One tip: It’s good in mountains, but if it’s over 40°C and you have a constant 1 in 4 or steeper uphill for more than a couple of km, it’s going to get overheated.

Not a big problem, when I’ve had that I just stop and enjoy cooling off in the shade with my bike, and after half an hour we’re both good to go again :-)

I don’t understand the point of this video.

What I can say is that the motorcycle industry is like the car industry - most influencers and advertising tries to push people into getting bigger and faster machines, which is bullshit. Small bikes are fantastic fun (see: C90Adventures on youtube, for example)

The thumbnail for the video literally says “this is not good” on it, so it’s not your fault for inferring something.

Hi, I’m currently working on the other side of the planet for 4 months, while my RE Himalayan sits in my garage at home not doing anything.

I’ve asked my other half to charge the battery up at the 2 month mark, and when I get back I’ll check the tyre pressures … that’s it.

4 months isn’t a long time for a bike to sit, especially a new one that’s got fuel injection. And the only reason for the battery charge is because it’s winter.

Oh yes x2 to that last part - the tricky bit is getting to the point of genuinely giving no fucks

Thank you <3
