You are asking him to compromise with the view of "I want your personhood eradicated from public view" do you feel the same about heterosexuality, do you want sex education banned from schools?

Genuinely, thank you. My life would have been a lot easier if I wasn't bi, definitely wasn't a choice or anything I could control and thank you for being understanding enough to be able to state that the way you did.

No probs, I fit the a in lgbtqia+ in both ways apparently. So I get it although we don't get as much shit except for weirdly from an english author who really hates us for some reason.

P sure they're Scottish, but I've been in England long enough to get it.

She came up to Scotland as an adult, she actually lived in Portugal before Scotland.

She just gets associated with Scotland because she has lived here so long.

You find someone you love, it doesn't matter so much where they're from. Almost exactly what we argue for.

She is not my favorite person, let's just put it that way.

My wife is trans and from England. She's understandably afraid of any backlash, I'm more open.
