Yeah, incredibly harmful to his profits and chance of further peerages. Fuck off to Singapore and stay there ye blustery old cunt, no one wants your overpriced vacuum cleaners.

Are these the shapeshifting owls? Saw a YouTube video a while back and it's incredible, like a transformer the way they rearrange their face & body

You know, having a preference is completely normal. I don't think many bi people have their preference split 50/50! Not sure if you're familiar with Kinsey Scale, worth looking into.

Interestingly, my 'type' for women is almost completely the inverse for guys. Similar to you, I have a preference towards women / trans women, though I sometimes wonder if that's still some inbuilt shame from society.

It's sadly extremely common. Women who say they are allies imo are often just accessorising, they'll go to pride and 'have a gay friend' but vomit at the thought of dating someone pan / bi.

I made myself more than a little sad the other day, reading the comments under an article about this issue written by a bi man who married a woman. Just an absolute reel of angry, 'personally attacked' women completely confirmimg the articles points.

Yeah, not trying to make excuses for him as he's probably just a vile POS but this is like mental breakdown territory.

Maybe he personally lost someone close to him on 7th Oct and now he's taking it out on someone he perceives as 'Arab'. Even if that was the case though there's no excuse for this kind of hate speech, go grieve in private or with family / friends.

I hate so much that there are people like him out in the world. Many of us are desperately trying to find ways to come together and they make it so much more difficult.

Put me out in the cold, I love the cold! Coldness is kind of a state of mind. Obviously there comes a point where being too cold is dangerous, but I find I can think myself out of being bothered by low temps.

I think it's the Norwegians who have a saying something like, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes for the weather". I have a lovely Kangol jacket which keeps me warm in cold environments (and sweaty everywhere else)

Fuck...ing...HELL

Often when a headline has only part of a sentence, it was taken out of context so I watched the video.

narrators voice "it was not taken out of context"

I personally have strong dislike of all fundamentalist religious teachings but the things this guy says are despicable. We don't have to respect someone's opinion but we have to respect their right to hold it, and saying vile shit like this only furthers divisions.

Might be a case of 'build it and they will come'.

I've been writing dance music for about 20 years, I think the relentless pigeonholing of genres can get ridiculous, but if it's within that cast array I might be able to help... Before someone else wildly disagrees :)

Every now and then, a typo pays off!

I browse lemmy a lot on mobile. When I first looked into lemmy mobile clients, they were read only.

This post inspired me to get Sync 4 Lemmy, now I'll be commenting much more (careful what you wish for haha as I'm sure I will have opinions some don't agree with, but hopefully can always debate rationally)

Sorry to hear about your experiences. It does provide some small feeling of solidarity to know we're not alone!

Well done for accepting yourself. I do have the privelege in some sense that if I wanted, I could pretend to be straight. Maybe that's an aspect that riles some gay people up. I can confirm I don't repulse women :) until that is, they figure out or find out that I'm not straight. Then it's almost always the instant evaporation of attraction.

As far as I understand it, for some women, their idea of attraction to a man is still (despite the clamouring for equal rights) tied to how macho the man is. Sex with men, or trans people, destroys that machoness. Then you've got the insecure ones who assume because you also find another gender attractive, they can never be enough for you, or that you will cheat. I've never, ever cheated on a partner. Finally you have the ones who assume that not being straight, you're highly promiscuous and therefore riddled with STIs. I can't speak for other guys but before I realised I was pan I used to joke I'm not bi, I'm bi myself. Very much not promiscuous, and very much take the necessary precautions whenever I sleep with someone (which is rare).

Notice how just speaking about my experience caused someone to downvote my comment. We can't even exist without offending some people.
