The intro text from that page for those interested:

In the Indian subcontinent, hijra[n 1] are transgender, intersex, or eunuch people who live in communities that follow a kinship system known as guru-chela system.[5][6][7][8] They are also known as aravani, aruvani, and jogappa.[9] The term is used in Pakistanas khawaja sira, the equivalent of transgender in the Urdu language.[10]

In Western terms, most hijras are feminine-identified people assigned male at birth. Hijras are officially recognised as a third gender throughout countries in the Indian subcontinent,[11][12][13] being considered neither completely male nor female. Hijras’ identity originates in ancient Hinduism and evolved during the Delhi Sultanate (1206–1526) and Mughal Empire (1526–1707).[14][15]

Many hijras today live in well-defined and organised all-hijra communities, led by a guru.[7] These communities have consisted over generations of those who are in abject poverty or who have been rejected by or fled their family of origin.[16] Many of them are sex workers.[17]

The word hijra is a Hindustani word.[18] It has traditionally been translated into English as “eunuch” or “hermaphrodite”, where “the irregularity of the male genitalia is central to the definition”.[19] However, in general hijras have been born male, with only a few having been born with intersex variations.[20] Some hijras undergo an initiation rite into the hijra community called nirvaan, which involves the removal of the penis, scrotum and testicles.[17]

Since the late 20th century, some hijra activists and non-government organizations have lobbied for official recognition of the hijra as a kind of “third sex” or “third gender”, as neither man nor woman.[21]Hijras have successfully gained this recognition in Bangladesh and are eligible for priority in education and certain kinds of low paid jobs.[22][23] In India, the Supreme Court in April 2014 recognised hijras, transgender people, eunuchs, and intersex people as a “third gender” in law.[5][24][25]Nepal, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have all legally accepted the existence of a third gender, with India, Pakistan and Nepal including an option for them on passportsand certain official documents.[26]

Never seen that one, thanks!

I know that this is a low bar, but seems like that’s where we are on internet grammar: I’m proud of you for correctly using two different forms of “its”.

Hard agree! Thank you for saying this!!

Honestly guys I think we should just let her have this one. I think she needs it.

You joke but I bet someone could make that argument in an American court

This makes me want to commit war crimes

Now you’ve jone it

Yeah I mean as much as I love to rag on Drumpf at every possible opportunity, it’s not like he chose to have a fine imposed on himself. In fact, he paid a lot of money to try to stop it

Going after the rich for being wasteful with their money and hurting the environment is like the opposite of a boomer mindset…

Wait I have something to contribute here!

Thank you UPS, very helpful 👍

There are better ways to manage your anxiety than with nicotine. You’re anxious about your parents finding out because you know they’ll be upset, and they’ll be upset because of the negative impact you’re having on yourself by vaping. Maybe you should consider why they would feel that way.

No, you’re conflating two different concepts that share the term. Alcohol directly causes central nervous system depression, which is distinct from depressive disorder (aka depression) - the neurological condition. Regular alcohol use/abuse can lead to depressive disorder, but in an indirect way. CNS depressants (alcohol) actually increase GABA neurotransmitter activity, which slows brain activity. This effect on your nervous system has no known direct link to depressive disorder.

Honestly if they could make a beer bottle weigh 30-40 lbs I could really be into this idea

Edit: although getting a 6-pack into your car would be a bitch

Ok well…I sustained an injury to the tip of my dick and it turns out that’s a location that rubs on the material of your boxers or pants all the time. So I was in pretty constant discomfort. Decided to try a bandaid, and of course the standard ones really don’t sit all that flush and they would just snag and pull off inside my underwear. Then I tried one of those waterproof ones and it conformed to the shape perfectly. “Don’t worry, you won’t forget about something attached to the tip of your penis,” I told myself. But damn if those things don’t sit so comfortably you completely forget they’re there. And by god let me tell you, the absolute shock, fear, and confusion a man can feel when he’s dick in hand, has relaxed all his bladder muscles, and fully expects to start peeing, only for some phantom-handed chokehold to hold it all back a half second after release…well it’s not something you’re likely to forget.
