  • This.

    Also, even as an able-bodied man, I’m happy to jaywalk across residential streets and small roads. But a busy road or motorway? I’m not risking my life for that. Let alone multiple lanes! I always walk the 100m or so to the nearest pedestrian crossing… which is exactly what this guy should be able to do.

    It’s just bad design, and I strongly disagree with the idea of “it doesn’t look that bad, just cross”. You shouldn’t even have to assess risk like that.

    I’m not exactly enamoured with the UK, but its walkability (at least in suburbs and cities) is something I am so thankful for.

    That is absolutely wild.

    When I was at uni (2016-2019), you had to leave all of your belongings behind in a designated area, and only carry a clear/transparent container with your pen(s) to the exam room. You could optionally bring a clear water bottle (label removed.)

    If you ask to use the bathroom, there is no opportunity to go back to your belongings.


  • Trans man here, IMHO being nonbinary can be paired with being trans, but not necessarily, i.e. they are not inherently the same thing.

    If they have dysphoria and want to transition to alleviate it (irrespective of whether they can), then yes, they are trans.

    If the extent of a nonbinary person’s journey is to go by they/them, or they/them + the pronouns associated with their AGAB, then I would not categorise them as trans. To be clear, I am not saying that this is not a valid stance - just that the experience is not the same as being trans, though there may be some overlap.

    Obviously you cannot work this out without intimately knowing the person, and it isn’t really anyone else’s business anyway, but to answer the question explicitly, I would refer to them as a nonbinary person (in the absence of further information, and where the ‘nonbinary’ descriptor is relevant otherwise I would just say ‘person’), not a trans person.
