| Whenever I watch a movie, I keep two things in mind; the year the film was released and what time period the story is set. I expect cultural and language differences. Although it can be a little awkward when I'm watching an old film and people feel obliged to apologise to me. Relax. I knew what I wa... |

| There's a film called 'Teen Beach Movie' (2013) which pulls inspiration from 'Grease', and other musicals that take place in the 1950's and 1960's, as a form of social commentary. Two teenagers from the 2010's find themselves transported into the world of an 1960's musical. In order to escape, they ... |

| Do you feel a sense of dysphoria? If so, how long has this persisted? What made you start questioning your gender identity? Have you spoken to a LGBT friendly therapist to rule out other possibilities? Is this an option for you? |

It annoys me when I ask 'Why do people vote for the UK Conservatives?' and the response I get is 'Oh, you'll understand when you're older'.
Well, I was hoping to hear some specific reasons and examples. So I could fathom how we ended up with this government.

| I'm OK with seeing PDA so long as it's not obstructive. Don't block the exits or entrances to buildings. Don't stand in the way of the grocery isle. Don't have one person standing on the bus and the other standing off the bus kissing each other - either get on the bus or don't! Ahem. Sorry. :lol: Ye... |

I agree that sometimes it's not always clear where an intrusive thought or trigger is coming from at first.
I've realised recently that I've had a breakthrough with a buried sense of shame which up until this point I had been struggling to track down the root. |

On the whole not knowing if you should approach someone, I've taken to asking 'Hey, I was wondering, should I keep things friendly between us or are you OK with a little flirtation?

| I can't really avoid it. I live rural and strangers are always wanting to make conversation. However, I know that loneliness is a big issue and most folks that want to talk just want someone who'll listen. So I don't mind it too much. Sometimes I find out something interesting. I've heard some tales... |

One time I found a t-shirt that was (supposedly) my size but I yawned and stretched and it just disintegrated. Completely ripped down the back. Beautiful design. A shame really. It was a loose fit but I guess it just couldn't take the might of my lanky arms.  |

No maidens in that story though (that I'm aware of). https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cC4AAOSwxQha~BPi/s-l960.webp The story goes that there was a white dragon (representing the English) and a red dragon (representing the Welsh).
