First off, this is not some disguised gay bashing, but a serious question...
I have known many lesbians as I tend to work in career fields that attract them. Some are extremely 'butch', and seem to do everything they possibly can to look as masculine as possible. This is fine, however, some seem to get very offended if anyone upon first meeting them mistakes them for a man.
Why is this?
If I grew my hair out, wore make up, spoke softly, and walked with a sway in my hips should I get offended if someone mistook me for a woman?
I actually told one of these women off one time, told her she had no right to be offended.

So, can some of the lesbians out there who fit this description help me to understand the situation?

Thank you in advance.

I've been with my bf/fiance for a bit over 4 years now and have spent so much time and money into buying him gifts! I'm out of ideas. Last year I spent around $700.00 just on him and this year I plan on only spending $200.00 max b.c. financial things have come up. Are there any good ideas? Please no shirts/hats/music ideas! He has sooo much of those! DVD's are OK depending on what it is, but he LITERALLY owns OVER 600 movies already! :oP

Thanks for your help!!

The theme this year for a gift was coffee mug. I've got a really big Texas flag mug and was wondering at some unique ideas of something to fill it with. there's always hot chocolate mix, but is there anything else anyone can come up with? Just curious. Thanks for all your ideas. And please, keep it clean. It's for my uncle.

Wow, dragging the boxes of decorations down from the attic, or in other cases, up from the basement, do we get to a point that as we get older, it is too much of a hassel dto do it anymore?

I have all kinds of decorations for this upcoming time of the year, but, putting them all up inside and outside gets to me more and more work as I get older.

Do you have this same problem? How do you keep the holiday spirit alive thru decorations and take muscle relaxers at the same time?

Guess old age takes it's toll on once household decorations, what about you?

What religion did you grow up around (including family, friends, and at school), what religion are you now and why? What influenced you the most in your decisions?

There are lots of people, living right in your community, who need help.

It isn't always about money either, many need just someone who cares in their life. We live in a world where many complain about being lonely, this is sad.

How can you help?

I am not trying to start an argumentative topic. I am looking for some understanding.
1) Where you raised in a religious home?
2) Is anyone else in your home an Atheist?
3) At what point did you become an Atheist?
4) Do Atheist believe in any higher power at all?

Lets look at this real quick. He got paid the 30 silver but didn't really get much time to spend it. He was Jesus' right hand so who better than him would Jesus turn to help turn himself in. Yeah he questioned somethings but you can question and still have faith. Or at least thats what I've been told.

I know that he used to work for Human Life International, but seems to have resigned (or been fired) under a cloud of suspicion about finances. Does anyone know anything more about it or about him?
