    That's not an Irish name though, it's a made up stage name.

    He doesn't live on the second floor, either.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    PSA: Some of you may have noticed that I have changed my name on Facebook. This is due to an exploration of my feelings around my expressional gender. An acceptance that I never been precisely comfortable with being a woman. I have always felt more comfortable expressing more masculinity than I "should" but was afraid to for fear of judgement because I don't feel like a man either.

    So this is the end of my willingness to feel discomfort about my gender. I identify as a non-binary person, and have chosen a gender neutral name to reflect this, and to help me finally feel at ease with myself.
    So, hey, I'm ____, my pronouns are they/them, and I'm glad to introduce myself to you.

    That doesn't belong in here tbh. Trans people have enough shi1te to deal with without having random strangers laughing at their coming out. No wonder they've been afraid of judgement.

    And the best way to deal with all that sh1te is to put it up on Facebook. FFS.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,834 ✭✭✭Captain Flaps


    How do you define trans? They don't have to have gone under the knife. Also I know plenty of people who've come out on FB as it's a good way to take ownership of your 'new' identity. I dunno, I'm not bothered either way by it, I just think it's wrong to post it in this thread.

    I think it's an insult to trans people the way non-binary folk are going on attention-seeking. I have the utmost respect for trans people but not non-binary.

    they are both full blown mental cases, i see little or no difference.

    My cousin's rather psycho wife, who seems to live her life through FB, announced to all and sundry yesterday that she is going off grid for good in 24 hours, and from then on will only be contactable through snapchat etc. And anyone who wanted her number could PM her privately and she would supply it.

    Usual "aww hun, we will miss you x" responses from other head wreckers.

    Notions.

    The amount of 'Facebook has been limiting the posts you see' I've seen and all from the worst offenders on Facebook (multiple pics of kids EVERY DAMN DAY. inspirational quotes - usually the 'we may not see each other or speak for 25 years but true friends have your back' ****e, 'share if you hate cancer', post the colour of your underwear but don't tell anyone why to raise awareness for motor neuron disease etc etc)

    No, FB hasn't been limiting my feed, no cu*t liked your post, simple as that.

    Someone just shared one of those stupid challenges, this is what it said:

    That price seems low but it costs money to get blood stains out.

    There's a good video on the Independent FB page where two teenagers are attempting to work out how to use a rotary dial phone.

    One of the comments:
    that is just sad....really sad....did there parents never ever told them anything about there childhood, how the grew up??? what is wrong with people....I can not laugh about that at all....have they failed at school too????? can not understand that at all

    :confused:

    Yes, failing at school and life because they don't know how to use something that went obsolete almost two decade before they were even born...

    Here's a status update one of my Australian Facebook friends liked. It's admonishing the younger generation to 'HARDEN UP', to be more like the OP's generation, presumably people in their 40s or 50s.

    The patronising tone is bad enough. Even worse is the fact the things he lists as having suffered when he was young are hardly awe-inspiring: walking to the TV to change the channel; drinking from a garden hose.

    Finally, he seems to contradict himself. While his purpose seems to be to admonish the young 'snowflakes' for being soft, he cites phenomena that could perhaps be used to explain why the younger generation is soft, such as a rise in violent crime and STIs. These are debateable, of course. Has the incidence of violent crime and STIs increased between, say, the 1970s and today? Is the younger generation soft?

    Overall, the guys just seems to be nostalgic for his childhood, where everything seemed right with the world, and lashing out at social change, such as kids having to wear bicycle helmets.

    I hate all that nonsense. It reminds me of this
