They're forecasting a high in the low 70's (F) today, though there will be drizzle and showers throughout most of the morning and afternoon. I work, so I can live with that.
I've decided to replace my dahlias with poppies. Originally I thought of doing a separate bed, planting them among the ranunculus, but whimsy took over, and I'm sure that by now most of us know what happens when fanciful steps onto the stage.
A fellow blogger opined that many masculine gay men are using their masculinity to hide their true effeminate nature, of course I had to disagree. That's like saying lipstick lesbians are really hiding their true desire to shave their heads and buy a Harley.
Isn't it interesting that there was a bit of discussion on this blog about Kamala Harris not being in the limelight just a tad bit more, and then yesterday comes the announcement she's going to spearhead the immigration issue. Damn!
And... of course, yesterday Rachel Levine was confirmed as Assistant Secretary of Health. Two Republicans voted for her: Murkowski and Collins,. Rachel is now the highest ranking transgender woman in the Federal Government. Can we talk about making history? Or maybe the topic should be the evolution of America. The prayers of so many Cracker Jack Crazy Christians that she be denied this position were left unanswered. In fact, many of their prayers are being given the cold shoulder. This is a lesson they cannot learn.
As for Rachel? She's a Pennsylvania girl! Now ain't that nice! Let's give Rachel a round of applause!
Yay for Rachel Levine! It did take them a minute to confirm her. And the Repugs had to be ignorant twats in the process. Progress was made.
ReplyDeleteAnd bravo for Kamala. Twitter was aglow with fake concern from RepuQanons about her speaking with Bill Clinton. They really don't have anything on Joe and Kamala, right?
And honey, there are many 'masculine' men who do everything they can to hide any trace of what they consider 'feminine' it's a fact. And comparing that to lipstick lesbians is textbook example of a strawman argument. You should know better. Oh, you do? So write a post about it. THAT would be masculine.
XOXO
Sorry, Toots, but we disagree. I will tell you what I told my fellow blogger, site facts and footnote. Without doing so, you, yourself are presenting a 'strawman' argument and creating a stereotype for something you want to believe; that all gay men are essentially effeminate is simply not true.
DeleteNo, honey.
DeleteMy argument is not that all gay men are essentially effeminate. That is YOUR point of view. My argument is totally different, but that would be a long post. This is YOUR blog. Go ahead. Make a post about why you disagree with your fellow blogger and quote them. I want to see how those writing skills work beyond the fiction you write....
I have time, honey. It's the pandemic after all.
XOXO
Slow down, Nelly, you missed the semi-colon, and it is you who are saying "there are many 'masculine' men who do everything they can to hide any trace of what they consider 'feminine' it's a fact." Where did you get that 'fact' from?
DeleteGO RACHEL GO! and jeebus turned a deaf ear to the RWNJs!
ReplyDeleteI heard the news at work and walked around telling people.
DeleteGood for Rachel.
ReplyDeleteGood on Biden.
Representation matters.
We are the party of the people.
DeleteIs meritocracy dead?
ReplyDeleteI don't see why being a gay man automatically gives you feminine traits.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't, traits are learned.
