Holy shit, in Lynchburg of all places? Progress! Everyone at Liberty University must be beside themselves over it.
edit: University of Lynchburg is a
private university associated with the Christian Church
I’m stunned.
it is a mainline protestant denomination:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Church_(Disciples_of_Christ)
oh, that makes sense then, they tend to be more tolerant in general.
Crossdressing ban incoming
That singular, monolithic Christian Church.
If you call yourself a Christian, you implicitly lend credibility to everyone that calls themselves a Christian.
Unless they're actively calling out the bigots as non-christians?
If you call yourself a Christian, and you're a Catholic, are you also lending credibility to Mormons, Episcopalians, Southern Baptists, Presbyterians, and Branch Davidians?
Yes, unless the person you're speaking to understands all that about you and the situation. It's about perception.
Mormons aren't Christian
The fuck they aren't. It's in the goddamned name.
They are literally tri-theist and believe that some guy was divinely revealed some book to him personally which claims Jesus went to America. Said books contradict the Bible and isn't proved by the archaeological record. They think the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all three gods as well. Muslims also believe in Jesus, doesn't make them Christian either.
Muslims do not believe in the divinity of Jesus. Mormons do.
PSA: sadly GC2b has had real quality issues for a few years now. Their binders used to be good quality, but people have been having issues with them falling apart quickly or being sized incorrectly, having trouble with getting them to fulfill exchanges, etc.
I had top surgery years ago so I can’t give recent personal recommendations, but as far as I know Shapeshifters and Underworks are still considered good quality.
Why the discretion about binders? Do people get hung up over them? It's basically a girdle... Is it the 1800's up in this bitch or something? Do we gotta hide the sears catalog from the kids?
Get some with nipples on em and wear em in public, you're males, it's legal. Should be legal for everyone anyway, or illegal for everybody...
Its because they dont want to out people on accident.
I think I'm misreading the article... I'm under the impression, based on how this is written, that they don't have any binders in the store, and the context of my entire comment was based on that :)
It's not all binders are secret squirrel mode I take it? It's just an alternative option and they have some there?
Binders can be dangerous if they're too tight, low quality or worn for too long. Good ones can be kind of expensive.
The article mentioned that they have a fund specifically for binders, probably because they don't want to risk accidentally selling someone an unsafe binder.
...do you know what a binder is in this context..?
Binders and binders full of women. But you'd never know!
Basically a girdle? Flattens out anatomy you don't want showing? I think I understood the context...
Ohh I was thinking is was something productive like a bunch for paper and not fashion..
Random guess, but sizing might be important.
