How about just eliminate pronouns altogether. Don't see any reason are such an essential part of language. Just don't use pronouns at all. Why can't all just agree to? 's not like are even nessecary.

edit: missed one

TCAS is a transponder based system. Warnings are suppressed at low altitude by design, and city lights do not interfere with it.

Runways get changed all the time for many reasons. Every runway at washington national is in a different direction, it would be a different approach entirely and not a last minute change. There is no evidence that the plane flew the approach wrong. There is ADS-B data for the full flight. Anyone can check the plane's actual flighpath.

Pilots can refuse ATC orders that are unsafe. The approach they were originally planning would have crossed the river and had the same risk of traffic.

The helicopter pilot seeing the wrong plane is a likely explanation. There were other planes in the area. The controller warned of the traffic. The pilot confirmed having the plane in sight.

That's a stretch too far sadly. Hopefully someday I can move to Germany, but not yet.

It seems that way to me too. Bum is the more common british term, and butt is much more american. Perhaps these two facts are related somehow.

Not a coincidence! Trans girl's gotta find a good name somewhere. Can't think of anyone better to name myself after.

From information on flightradar24's article, the collision happened at around 300-400 ft. Those altitudes are too low for TCAS to issue alerts. The Black Hawk had a transponder broadcasting with mode S, so it would be visible to TCAS and the tower, but it was not broadcasting ADS-B, which would let you see it on most flight tracking websites.

The jet would have received an audible TCAS alert if this happened at a higher altitude.

the bum is fat below your sit bones. It's there to be comfy for when you sit on things. Bigger butt means more comfortable sitting.

I mean this in the least sexual possible way. Big butts are great!

But yeah many people are weirdly into sex and that makes me uncomfortable too.

the 7 and 8 are all codenamed after plants. Lavender, Violet, Ginko, Begonia, Williow and Biloba.

Half are trees. Most are better names for trans women than Begonia.

Being trans really does give an unfair advantage in chess somehow... and so does wearing jeans.

I'm sure a trans woman wearing jeans would be so powerful at chess FiDE would have to invent a title above grandmaster.

I kind of wonder what the worst possible flower to have as a name. I would say begonia. Very pretty flower, not so pretty of a word.

 
 

I have been on HRT for a little over two months. I am taking sprio and sublingual estradiol.

These treatments have pretty much cured my depression, but otherwise I feel pretty much the same. I kind of expected estrogen to feel actively different most of the time, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

However, today I felt my nerves for the first time on HRT, and it felt very different. I get stage fright on occasion. This time wasn't worse or anything, but it felt so very different. Like the nerves were in my body instead of my head.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with performance anxiety before and after HRT? I'd also love to know if are other experiences that feel distinctly different that I can look forward to.

Thx in advance. Love you all <3
