She rejected you. Very clearly and obviously.

It became super obvious when she said, "but thank you for the offer"

How long have you been training.

I don't train in boxing. I had to pass a week long course one time in basic punches and stuff, but nothing else.

I just notice when I'm shadowboxing in my living room and such, etc.

You're probably not as ambidextrous as you think you are. Every beginner thinks that they can just switch stances cause it's "natural".

I mean, I'm sure if I trained in boxing for 1000 hours in one stance, I'd probably favour that stance.

I'm just talking about how it feels naturally.

Something I've been wondering. I'm right-handed and not ambidextrous at really much of anything.

But I can fight/box with either stance. Both feel completely comfortable.

One time when I was in combat training I went up to the bag in a southpaw stance and my instructor was like, "wtf are you doing? you're right handed"

And I was just like, "Uhh this is just as comfortable."

Is this normal for everyone or am I just naturally ambidextrous?

So I understand this game is pretty complicated and has a lot of things to learn in it, so I'm gonna make my first game be just of XCOM2, no WotC. After I get the hang of the base game, I'll try WotC.


I think having too many extra items and features would overwhelm me.

Alright I'll just get everything and go in with it.

I played Xcom 1 fairly little, and I know almost nothing about Xcom 2, so pretty much every mechanic will be a new mechanic for me.

And yeah, I've played every rendition of Civ since Civ 3. Those are games where you definitely DO want the expansions.

One other person I asked about it told me to just play WotC and that it made the game better.

I replied to that comment saying the study I posted previously from rand shows that they're non-issues when it comes to trans people serving in the military. I'd repost but I'm on my phone.

Read it. EVERY country that has allowed trans people to serve has reported no issues worth any sort of concern.

Israel who pretty much has to accept everybody and Canada? Really those are you two prime examples?

Shit Israel pretty much makes anyone that can hold a rifle a soldier out of necessity, and Canada is Canada you can't compare two small ass armies to one of the largest in the world that's pure stupidity

Explain how unit cohesion in Canada is somehow different to unit cohesion in the US.

Explain how deployed soldiers are going to keep up their hormone therapy

they're not. they're not gonna get deployed.

10 years ago he'd be banning gays from the military (if they already weren't)....being Gay is just more accepted now and harder to publicly shame so the bigots have moved on to the next group, Trans people....

There's literally zero comparison to be made here.

Someone being gay does not affect me at all. Even while I'm interacting with them. They don't expect anything out of me. I don't care what they do. I do not have to modify my behavior or my outlook on life in any way to suit a gay person.

Transgenders are completely different. They demand that everyone else change their view to accept what they feel. Their entire cause is based around getting other people to see them as what they want to be. They want me to change how I feel to suit them. Call them the wrong word or pronoun and they lose their flippin' mind.

Nah. They're men imitating women.

To her, she was a woman and felt the need to transition. To him, she was a man and he was raped. What makes one more "real"?

she has a woman's brain, not a man's

she is also legally a woman

This part isn't necessarily true.

You're assuming that all transgenders have the condition of gender dysphoria. Which is -NOT- true.

Some people have gender dysphoria, but gender dysphoria is NOT a requirement for being a transgender.

Well, you clearly don't think the transgender is at fault for not divulging their gender situation.

Nobody should have to have sex with a transgender if they don't want to, and if transgenders try to trick people into doing so, that should count as rape.

The reason the transgender in the OP didn't reveal it is because they didn't want to get rejected, plain and simple. Purposeful deceit.

I'm fine with transgenders arguing for their own rights, but forcing their lifestyle upon others isn't permissible.

So much bigoted victim blaming in this topic.

The original victim is the navy guy though. The transgender basically committed assault/rape by not divulging their true identity in the two months that they spoke.


The only thing 'wrong' that the navy guy did was his vigilante justice. He should've let the police handle the transgender. That person should be in jail for rape.

Obviously you shouldn't stab someone 119 times, but I can see how this situation would cause the same trauma in a person that actual rape would. I'd consider this a type of rape.

40 year sentence is ridiculous for this. The sentence should have been EXTREMELY mitigated by the fact that he was provoked/raped. He must've had a REALLY bad lawyer.

Holy shit there are some sick people on this board.

How so? Murder sentences are frequently lowered for reasons like this. In this case specifically, the transgender abused the guy and pushed him to having a breakdown. The transgender has a HUGE amount of fault in this case. That doesn't make the stabbing/murder right, but the fault isn't solely on the guy in this case either.

Every patriotic American who is qualified to serve should be able to serve. End of story.

Once again, as before with racial integration of the military and gay people in the military, certain people in our country are grasping at flimsy straws to justify discriminating against a minority they find unappealing. Transgenderism is not a psychiatric condition or a mental disorder, it is an identity people are born with and can't do anything about We can't go on sweeping them under a rug and pretending they need psychiatric help, because they don't. What they need is acceptance, and an end to prejudice and discrimination.

Looking forward to the day when all Americans, especially my fellow Christians, learn to embrace each other with love. Not disdain.

I bolded the keyword. People with mental health issues aren't qualified.

Transgenderism implies that the person has fundamental mental issues even understanding who they are. On top of the strife caused by their identity crisis, they are often taking powerful medications and having surgeries, etc.

You really can't compare these two things.

It would be interesting to see a study of how much more mentally ill gay people were back when they were more stigmatized. Just as a comment on how much trans people's mental problems come from within and how much come from not being accepted by society.

Well, transgenderism people want to BE something that they are not. There's no amount of acceptance from me or anyone else that can make someone born as a man be a real woman. They're just always gonna be unhappy if that's their goal.

All that gay people wanted to do was have sex with their own gender. They can actually do that. So the only 'social' problem is whether or not people judge them for it. A transgender person can never achieve their dream. Even with all the meds and surgeries - It's not enough. Not with current technology at least.

Obviously they have problems in society too, but it seems like their problems are at least 75% internal.

The military disqualifies people for most forms of mental issues. Even small things like ADHD disqualify you.

They don't allow in people with depression issues/history, ADHD, or basically anything similar to that.

The ruling is pretty consistent - They don't allow people in if they think they will or could be problematic for service.

Transgenderism is a pretty serious disorder, and I don't mind it being included in the disqualification list.

That's like saying being gay is a disorder. Who are you to judge someone's identity? People are defined by more than their genitalia.
To prevent problematic people you'll have a screening. Not discrimination.

Being gay and being transgender aren't the same thing

A gay man is generally a completely normal and healthy human being, that happens to like sticking it in dudes. That's just a preference, and it doesn't necessarily reflect their identity as a whole.

Transgenderism implies that the person has fundamental mental issues even understanding who they are. On top of the strife caused by their identity crisis, they are often taking powerful medications and having surgeries, etc.

You really can't compare these two things.


One of these things causes a big problem for the military. One doesn't.
