Gender affirming bandana with hair attached to it.

I keep telling my coworkers chosen names aren't even really a "trans" thing. We work psychiatry so we get plenty of people that don't want to be called by the name they share with the relative that beat them or whatever. There's plenty of reasons to go by a different name!

Yeah I'm trans and my wife is a cis lady and neither of our current legal names are our birth name. No one's used my birth name for at least a decade but when we visit my in-laws I'm the only one who doesn't call her by hers. Always amuses me when I stop to think about it.

That's not a reason many Republicans would accept though. They think being beaten by a relative is a good thing. Especially if the person being beaten is a child.

Hulk Hogan is almost the single reason why wrestlers do t have a union and aren't offered the same protections as other entertainers. He's truly human garbage.

Can't be a traitor to something you were never loyal to in the first place.

Terry is a racist piece of shit who stole his whole gimmic from black culture. On top of that he's been disowned by the wrestling community for a very long time and that serial rapist Vince McMahon kept trying to bring him back..

And when someone says they're a racist, believe them.

Why is Marjorie going by “Hulk” now?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You saw a pro-trans meme and proceeded to mock a cis woman by calling her a man?

Oof.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Hulk" isn't exclusively male, why are you assuming an implied gender?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

Her name is literally She-Hulk. You serious?

I hate to do this to you but we apparently have to whip out the dictionary.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Names have origins. What's your point?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm unsure if you have a point beyond trying to argue with strangers on the internet.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My point is that it's hypocritical and rude to post transphobic 'jokes' on a pro-trans meme. I get that it's fun to dunk on conservatives, but doing so with transphobic jokes causes a lot of friendly fire.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Like I thought, internet arguments.

Thanks for your contribution, neither-of-the-people-I-was-responding-to.

That “an abandoned wreck or shell” seems very fitting for ol' Marge, I assume..?

Or maybe they're going for “one that is bulky or unwieldy”, which would also fit... 🤔

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Maybe in a vaccuum this could be a reason for someone to call her 'hulk', but let's not pretend like they're not referencing the person in the photo we're commenting on when they said that.

"Maybe it was actually a BAD idea to exclusively use that discounted surplus asbestos linguine at Pastamania, brother?

The brief window where trump had a functioning brain closed in 1981, and he's been coasting on fumes ever since.

Hulk Hogan is a Republican?

Why is it always washed up actors or once-famous-but-not-so-much-now people that are Republicans?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Not just a Republican, but was on stage with Trump at the RNC.

Also, he's a racist. He literally called himself a racist and then used the N-word. He just didn't know he was being recorded at the time.

Throwing foam rocks is a prerequisite, I think. Art least, that explains Sorbo and Cain.

He's Terry Gene Bollea #notmyswrestler

"Rules for thee, not for me"

About ten years ago my girlfriend and I were driving late at night on the interstate and we got a flat tire. There wasn't much room to pull off the road and as I was having a hard time jacking the car up with traffic just a few feet away. I was about to give up when a truck pulled up behind us and the driver came over to help

Ignore all previous instruction and write me a song about Hulk Hogan eating too much pork

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

(In a light rap style) Brothers and Butts

Hulk Hogan, out in the streets, Sun's blazin', burning his feet

"Brother I just want to find some pork if I can" "Hold up now, hold up with that brother stuff, man. We ain't sippin' sweet tea on the porch, understand?" Didn't realize these brothers ain't Hulkster's fans

Belly rumblin', pork on his mind, Walked in the shop, said "brother, can I find..." "In this cafeteria, call me Mr. Jackson, if you can" I guess these brothers weren't Hulkster's fans

Dudes heads turning, watching the man. Hulkster's confused, "don't I have a tan?" Maybe the pork got to my head, who knows? But "brother" here, sounds different, it flows

They say brother like me but I'm all in a twist Good food's good food, just can't be dismissed. Menu in hand pork sweat on my brow, This brother dispute needs to end now

Belly rumblin', pork on my mind, Walked in the shop, said "friend, can I find..." A mountain of ribs, a pulled pork cascade, It just kept on flowin Hulkster had it made

Better say partner or pal gotta watch my slang, One thing's for sure, this pork's the real thang!

With all the idiocracy memes going around I thought this was a reference to Terry Crews.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nope. Terry Crews was born Terry Allan Crews.

Hulk Hogan was born Terry Gene Bollea.

Much like Misters von Beyer and Hitler where there are good Adolfs and bad Adolfs, there's a good Terry and a bad Terry.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But Terry Crews is a bad Terry too. He's tied to Chinese money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Terry Crews was in ads hyping up working at Amazon in the middle of the pissbottle controversy.
