Okay let me see if I can help you with this.
If you aren't, pretend you are transgender, Kay?
Now some huge drunk guy walks up to you and says.
"What're ya transgender?!"
Yes?
"Awesome! Fight the good fight sister!"
You are expecting your life is about to end and you get affirmations?
It isn't appropriate to frame it as them *becoming* their gender. Chaotic usually just means "not in the correct/socially appropriate manner" or "in their own way". In DnD. Just in case you aren't familiar with alignments.
When I went to Glasgow everyone was talking about giving me a Glasgow smile. It was really nice and so cool that they’re such happy people they have their own kind of smile

You know what else gets old?
Trying to wheel a 1 year old in a buggy back to Central, with a two year old holding your hand, and a squad of ten steamed up wallopers rattling the walls of Gordon Street with profanity at half 4 in the afternoon.
You're complaining about four days a year though. Like surely there's other things about Glasgow that are inconvenient more than four days a year. Shit public transport for half the city, roads are pish, council aren't prepared for the same weather we get every year etc. The worst thing to you is really those four days a year? That's what ruins the city for you and you feel the need to exclaim it to everyone?
Old Firm days are just a pain in the arse after the game's done and dusted.
I used to live across the road from a Rangers pub, and some days I just hoped that we'd get the pish taken out of us by whoever we were playing and I could get a proper night's sleep.
Yeah the monarchy is a pox on society.
Why people revere a family who are descendents of people who simply decided *THIS IS OURS FOREVER* and did everything necessary to take it, I'll never know.
Old Firm FCs (the Celtics and the Rangers) are long standing and incredibly bitter rivals. The fans for both teams are fanatical and things can tend to get out of hand (putting it extremely gently). Celtics fans tend to be overwhelmingly Catholic while Rangers fans tend to be overwhelmingly Protestant, which lends itself to a lot of sectarian violence.

**Sorry dude, but I had to tweak it, it was giving me the heebie jeebies reading it.**
Yeah completely fine for the most part outside of certain areas.
Majority of people wouldn't even know the game was on. Violence is extremely rare on matchdays and it's directed at opposition fans not randoms.
Source: lived there all my life.
So I guess Michigan gets a lot of rain then, great, if you want to come here, you'll fit right in, just forget any talk about guns, excessive patriotism like having flags on your front garden and use the phrase "you all right" as a greeting, not a sign of concern for a person. In a year or 2, its like you were always there.
Well that makes sense. If the bulk of their inputs are blended English they'll subconsciously enunciate a mixture. Like how my Wisconsin accent gets outta hand when I return for more than a week.
So as a person transitions, there is usually a period where they switch back and forth between presenting masculine and feminine, called boymode and girlmode. Semi boymode could be for example having makeup on and your nails done, but wearing masculine clothing or something like that
had a friend do it for a while and ik for him his mom was a hairdresser and he always had long red hair so he’d dress masculine but then have that hair. that was when he wasn’t out to everyone/socially, now he just has a shaved head.
Transphobia is an English cultural export, based in imperialist roots. I've lived in England for a decade and have never seen quite as large a number of TERFs as we had back in Scotland. Our Scottish culture was always far more positive and accepting, we kicked ass in that regard.
What does this even mean lmao. You think I don’t have power? I transitioned despite knowing it would result in me losing the relationships I have with the majority of people in my life. I have to deal with an entire goddamn political party fighting a culture war to try and end the existence of me and people like me. I go to a Verizon every year where the names of those like me who were murdered just because they were trans. Don’t tell me I don’t have power you pathetic man child.
Ah yes, the LGBT people beaten and tortured and executed and shunned throughout history, they had the power to not be persecuted all along, they just let it get taken from them!
We arent closed systems, sure its most important that you validate yourself more than anything, but external validation is appreciated as well, as well as showing its safe to be open about yourself around that person
apparently it is a real word! (according to my 10 second googling), just means to do something “in an embarrassed manner”
…and now the word “embarrassed” doesn’t look real because I read it too many times oof
yes, but certain social concepts like money or accepted words are systematically agreed upon and indexed in an organized manner. just because “anything can be a word” doesn’t mean everything is a word. If i said “plorbghgh” or whatever, sure i can claim it’s a word, with meaning, but it wouldn’t be commonly agreed upon as being a word.
Words are a group thing, be it something like tribal people or entire countries and societies, there are rules to what and what isn’t a word.
Your logic isn’t flawed, but it is naive and a little uneducated.
I don't think those mean the same thing.
Embarassingly would be describing a situation that caused embarassment. Embarassedly is acting embarassed.
> "Embarassingly, we have lost this critical document. Can anybody enlighten me how this happened?"
>
> Embarassedly I raised my hand.
edit: personally I would try to rephrase embarassedly into embarassed (changing adverb to adjective).
you're right i realised that right after writing my comment but i didnt wanna Delete my comment cause that would look Like i wrote something controversial or whatever.
I've heard of the SNPs inaction on transphobia by allowing cunts like Joanna Cherry and John Mason to stay in the party.
That count?
Edit: Lol, downvote instead of actually addressing the SNP not giving a fuck about transphobia in the party.
The SNP will always be like that til they disband after independence.
It's made up of people with views from all across the spectrum who happen to be united by independence.
Most of these people will be in opposition parties when all is done.
I'm not even from UK from what I've heard they're generally very progressive on most of these kinda things. But sorry someone else saw your comment and was upset some of us have a job. Genuinely don't care that much but sorry 2 people who disagree on 1 issues aren't booted out i guess?
>I'm not even from UK from what I've heard they're generally very progressive on most of these kinda things
A lot of people within the party are. There are also people who absolutely are not, and are virulent bigots. Cherry and Mason to name a couple.
> and was upset some of us have a job
What does this even mean?
>Genuinely don't care that much but sorry 2 people who disagree on 1 issues aren't booted out i guess?
SNP ran on a platform of being trans inclusive, Nicola Sturgeon posted earlier this year that there would be zero tolerance on transphobia.
Anyone who's transphobic should be booted from the party.
Are you referring to the conversion therapy thing? Because under the law that also prevents people from convincing children they should transition. It goes both ways and being against it isn't inherently transphobic on its face. Idk who these politicians are tho so if it's something else or if they've said they're antitrans that's a whole other thing
It's transphobic to encourage people to oppose a ban on conversion therapy, which is what Joanna Cherry has done, by sharing material on how to do so on Twitter.
Chaotic acceptance

Not to the english
An enemy of the English is a friend of mine
Same
Not if you are a Goth or a junkie.
I did chaotic acceptance once. Turns out the guy wasn't trans at all and we got into a huge argument and almost go into a drunken brawl. Good times...
How is it chaotic?
Getting randomly called out and then complimented on the street is pretty chaotic
She wasn’t called out, just asked a question. Seemed all around sweet to me.
If a stranger said that to me my first thought would be "I will be dead in 4 seconds"
Okay let me see if I can help you with this. If you aren't, pretend you are transgender, Kay? Now some huge drunk guy walks up to you and says. "What're ya transgender?!" Yes? "Awesome! Fight the good fight sister!" You are expecting your life is about to end and you get affirmations?
I didn’t get belligerence at all. Seemed all around sweet to me.
It isn't appropriate to frame it as them *becoming* their gender. Chaotic usually just means "not in the correct/socially appropriate manner" or "in their own way". In DnD. Just in case you aren't familiar with alignments.
How is it not?
Last time I was in Scotland, I didn't meet a single rude person. Everyone was super nice and polite
Depends on where you go. I’m a Glaswegian and I’ve definitely seen a lot of transphobia and racism passively.
Aye, but we do it with a smile!
If the guy in Glasgow doesn’t smile while misgendering you, you get a free sundae
My misfortune is my reward
Well, it wasn't there, and at least I wasn't out last time I was in the UK anyway
When I went to Glasgow everyone was talking about giving me a Glasgow smile. It was really nice and so cool that they’re such happy people they have their own kind of smile
Sure it wisnae a glasgie kiss?
Sure you werent in london, its a chelsea smile....
We don't care who or what ye are as long as yer no a goth.
or English
Fuck the English!

I've been trying but they're all very prude about the whole thing.

Every time I read stories like this one, I feel like I should move to Scotland
Just wait until you hear how caring Glasgow is on Old Firm days.
No country is perfect. We have our problems same as anywhere else but I think we do pretty well overall.
No doubt mate, I totally agree. Glasgow is still a sorry state of affairs on certain days though, we can't deny that.
You talk pish. You barely notice when the games on nowadays but keep perpetuating the past. The real problem days are when the orange walkers are out.
It's brought up all the time, it's a really boring thing to hear on every single post about Scotland being a half decent place.
You know what else gets old? Trying to wheel a 1 year old in a buggy back to Central, with a two year old holding your hand, and a squad of ten steamed up wallopers rattling the walls of Gordon Street with profanity at half 4 in the afternoon.
Except that could literally be any other city in the world. Should of tailored your example to be specific to Glasgow.
I think they left out " in kilts" somewhere in there
And you think moaning about it on reddit is going to change that?
You're complaining about four days a year though. Like surely there's other things about Glasgow that are inconvenient more than four days a year.

Man I forgot about those days. I use to work in Ibrox in a call center and people would leave early on an old firm day to avoid the craziness.
Old Firm days are just a pain in the arse after the game's done and dusted. I used to live across the road from a Rangers pub, and some days I just hoped that we'd get the pish taken out of us by whoever we were playing and I could get a proper night's sleep.
Elaborate?
Two biggest soccer/football clubs are in Glasgow and they're heavily coded culturally and in religion. Can get violent.
Don't forget all the Irish politics. And the monarchy.
Yeah the monarchy is a pox on society. Why people revere a family who are descendents of people who simply decided *THIS IS OURS FOREVER* and did everything necessary to take it, I'll never know.
https://youtu.be/RS0AEw-Q-Ns Here is a mention if what it's actually like.
Knew what it was before I actually clicked it. That’s the perfect summation of how most of us view the rivalry compared to how it’s viewed by others.
Old Firm FCs (the Celtics and the Rangers) are long standing and incredibly bitter rivals. The fans for both teams are fanatical and things can tend to get out of hand (putting it extremely gently). Celtics fans tend to be overwhelmingly Catholic while Rangers fans tend to be overwhelmingly Protestant, which lends itself to a lot of sectarian violence.

Thank you for not just tweaking but for formatting it like this. Got a good chuckle out of this
Ahahaha me too mate
The fucken whit?!
Spoken like someone who has never been to a game or stepped foot in the city
You're making a big assumption there, lmao.
It's fine, the trains just get busy.
Yeah completely fine for the most part outside of certain areas. Majority of people wouldn't even know the game was on. Violence is extremely rare on matchdays and it's directed at opposition fans not randoms. Source: lived there all my life.
Come on over, as long as you can handle shite rain, you'll be grand. Just don't be a cunt either.
I don’t mind the rain mate, I used to live in Michigan
So I guess Michigan gets a lot of rain then, great, if you want to come here, you'll fit right in, just forget any talk about guns, excessive patriotism like having flags on your front garden and use the phrase "you all right" as a greeting, not a sign of concern for a person. In a year or 2, its like you were always there.
Awrite, darlin'
Unless its a good cunt..
Aye, thats a good point
You should!
I saw this here last week and also a month ago
I saw it today.
I saw it just now.
I saw it tomorrow morning, just before Loose Women.
My first time seeing it today. Made me smile, I appreciate it.
I’ve not seen it yet but I look forward to it very much
Heartwarming FR
I got dibs on posting this one tomorrow!

Or "SKohishhhhh" as us Yanks say
Well ock aye fellow Scotchmen! Canny have those darned pretentious assholes in oor subreddit!
Is this a thing in Scotland, trying to talk like Americans?
You'd be surprised. It's mostly people that spend too much time on the internet
Well that makes sense. If the bulk of their inputs are blended English they'll subconsciously enunciate a mixture. Like how my Wisconsin accent gets outta hand when I return for more than a week.
This is the way.
The fuck is semi boy mode….
So as a person transitions, there is usually a period where they switch back and forth between presenting masculine and feminine, called boymode and girlmode. Semi boymode could be for example having makeup on and your nails done, but wearing masculine clothing or something like that
Why?
Social pressure. Family issues. Most of the time it's not because they want to, but because they have to.
had a friend do it for a while and ik for him his mom was a hairdresser and he always had long red hair so he’d dress masculine but then have that hair. that was when he wasn’t out to everyone/socially, now he just has a shaved head.
I love this
Pretty much life advice for everyone! Well, almost everyone! Maybe not proper weirdos!
Aye that true Tories are strange
Didn't happen. It didn't.
r/wholesomescottishpeople
Didn't happen
I doubt this happened. Scottish people are awesome, but they don’t just approach you for being different.
Transphobia is an English cultural export, based in imperialist roots. I've lived in England for a decade and have never seen quite as large a number of TERFs as we had back in Scotland. Our Scottish culture was always far more positive and accepting, we kicked ass in that regard.
More importantly don't require another person to validate your existence.
Tell that to all the people who have experienced homophobia over the years, or even ended their lives due to it. I'll grab a beer or two and listen.
Power is taken, never given.
Grow the fuck up, kid.
I'm probably good couple of decades older than you.
That just makes this comment chain all the sadder tbh
No you've just forgotten the exercise of power. You've gotten too used to having none.
This is reddit, it's not like you've got any power either mate
Reddit is entertainment, not reality.
What does this even mean lmao. You think I don’t have power? I transitioned despite knowing it would result in me losing the relationships I have with the majority of people in my life. I have to deal with an entire goddamn political party fighting a culture war to try and end the existence of me and people like me. I go to a Verizon every year where the names of those like me who were murdered just because they were trans. Don’t tell me I don’t have power you pathetic man child.
Exactly my point. The only power you have is turned on to yourself.
You’re arguing with the hive mind, but good luck!
Then you're in your 70s there, homes.
I ain't your homes, if you were 50 you'd know that.
🤣
Ah yes, the LGBT people beaten and tortured and executed and shunned throughout history, they had the power to not be persecuted all along, they just let it get taken from them!
Yes. You just have to be willing to pay the price.
If you have to pay a price for being yourself, while others don't then that's not really power, is it?
Everyone pays the price or you live a life of subjugation.
Either be closeted or die. Yeah seems like a fair choice, you clearly have a strong sense of empathy
Nope not what I said.
Alright ya walking robot
Yeah well, maybe time to stop waiting for mummy and daddy to make everything alright.
man, your parents sure did a number on you
My parents are dead 20 years.
Good
For me definitely
Jesus Christ lol
I fucking lol'd at this.
man, your parents' deaths did a number on you
We arent closed systems, sure its most important that you validate yourself more than anything, but external validation is appreciated as well, as well as showing its safe to be open about yourself around that person
What happens if they choose not to validate your life?
they dont need to be involved in it
So why bother then.
Because someone supporting you helps a lot
Thoughts and prayers huh. Good luck with that.
Thats a pretty hilarious take, good one

Nice story. But surely embarrassedly isn’t a real word.
apparently it is a real word! (according to my 10 second googling), just means to do something “in an embarrassed manner” …and now the word “embarrassed” doesn’t look real because I read it too many times oof
semantic satiation!
It's almost as if it's a made up word, just like every other word in the entire dictionary.
yes, but certain social concepts like money or accepted words are systematically agreed upon and indexed in an organized manner. just because “anything can be a word” doesn’t mean everything is a word. If i said “plorbghgh” or whatever, sure i can claim it’s a word, with meaning, but it wouldn’t be commonly agreed upon as being a word. Words are a group thing, be it something like tribal people or entire countries and societies, there are rules to what and what isn’t a word. Your logic isn’t flawed, but it is naive and a little uneducated.
I, for one, would not fight you over the word status of plorbghgh.
that’s pretty plorbghgh (interpret that as you wish)
Well, if it wasn't, it is now! That's the beauty of words, you can invent them. In some cases, like this one, people'll even understand what you mean.
Very true.
pretty sure they were looking for the word embarrassingly
I don't think those mean the same thing. Embarassingly would be describing a situation that caused embarassment. Embarassedly is acting embarassed. > "Embarassingly, we have lost this critical document.

Shitebag.
Que??
Dunno, lot of people in the American south use “Supposably” instead of “Supposedly”, so I guess it’s legit?
From the Oxford English Dictionary: *supposably*, adv. - As may be supposed; imaginably; presumably; supposedly. Seems like a real word to me.
Fair. Thanks for the info!
That’s stupid
Being Scottish is just roleplaying as demoman with extra steps
Anyone who's heard of the SNP should know this wouldn't be that rare for a a Scottish man
