I hope that GNC becomes more widely used to describe us. Some here would disagree with this sentiment - some would like skirt wearing to be normalized as mens clothing, such that they are conforming to their gender in wearing one. I know for sure that I disagree with it -- vehemently. I am a human ...

II really do not like the work transvestite ot tranny for short. It still has a perverted sexual connotation that I believe is not good for our cause. Crossdresser is not a great term, but I accept it because the definition is accurate and it applies to me. {sigh} How many times does this have to b...

If a private business has rules, policies, etc. that you don’t like or agree with, why not simply do business elsewhere? This is by far and away the simplest and least confrontational way of doing it, but the problem is that there are no lessons to be learned -- by either the establishment or socie...

Oh I do not disagree - and would only resort to laser for precise needs (such as cutting a gasket). But I love the idea of using one, which is how my projects tend to grow in scope. There is some "sexiness" to the thought of using space-age tech in the creation of things -- and in places,...

A good sharp pair of scissors is more than capable of doing a perfectly decent job of this. We've been making clothes since way before LASER technology.

I was just playfully bustin' you. There was precisely no ill intent intended. I, too, fall into Analysis Paralysis from time to time.

Remember the KISS method - Don't over complicate the process. Hence my comment about reaching for either a slide-rule (upon which Pi is clearly marked) or a calculator. Circumference is 2 * Pi * Radius (which is the same as Pi * Diameter as Diameter is 2 * Radius). Some simple algebra will lead to ...

This stereo typing what boys can wear and what toys he should play with, can be fueling the shortage of those who become nurses and doctors. To me if you take away from boy who likes to play with dolls may have the protentional of becoming a nurse or doctor. I believe all these restrictions being p...

It's 70" in diameter? I should be able to fold it a few times to get the precise center. Fold it in quarters (halve it, then halve that) and the resultant "point" will be the precise centre. Mark that, as that'll be your starting point. Get the slip-stick (or a calculator) and figure...

The word purse was used to describe a bag that a person carried long before and gender connotations were ascribed to it. There we go. Imagine that ! Hilariously my late ex actually crocheted me a bag from household twine many years ago and which I still occasionally carry. I'm not "bag averse&...

Anyone attempt this or see any tutorials (a bit too busy to go down that Google/YouTube rabbit hole)? Found a vintage 70's circle tablecloth and am mulling over the possibility. It's absolutely possible, but depending on the diameter of the tablecloth (which will define the hem length) it may be so...

I had to wear long trousers in the evening for dinner because the hotel manager enforces his ‘Men have to wear long trousers for dinner’ or you get stopped from going in the restaurant. Out of curiosity, does he also enforce a skirts/dresses only for the women? If not, tell Basil to "shove it&...

Ditto this one Jamie. DROP THE HATE-SPEECH! We're all getting very, very tired of it.

Jamie, I would advise you to rewrite the above without the hate-speech. You are on very, very thin ice.

Gender disphoria is no joke as I have been afflicted to some extent, and I would not wish that on my worse enemy. Trust me on this one, I am not slagging off on the folks who suffer from that; it's a devastating condition. However, constantly whinging about it and parroting rad-fem dogma is certain...
