To the best if my knowledge, Santo is used to clarify the difference between the title and the name.
Santo Tomás being the simplest example I can think of, as “San Tomás” can be confused as as “Santo Más”.
Everything else is pretty spot on and an excellent explanation!
You look fabulous and I hope you had a great time!
Having done mostly customer facing positions for two decades:
The good news is, it’s not you. Customers are hell. Most assume you have all the resources in the world to help them and are choosing not to when you usually have only the most basic tools.
Hell, I’ve done jobs where the objective was to go to a location (think events, festivals) and hand out free (yes, gratis) food, drink, samples, and people will STILL complain, catch an attitude, and over-all act entitled.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. In my experience, it doesn’t get easier, but you get stronger, if that makes sense.
May be trending down due to marijuana being more normalized but I agree, would definitely be interesting to see!
They’re already hundreds and sell quickly on my local second hand markets =( I’ve given up
And you can eat your soup right out of the ashtrays if you wanna - It’s OK, they’re clean!
Totally understandable and still very happy for you! <3
Looks like I need to pick up a book and practice reading more LOL thank you for the clarification!
I mean this as a sincere compliment when I say I thought I was scrolling past a photo of Marilyn for a moment - or someone doing a fabulous impersonation.
Either way you look amazing and like you’re living your best life - absolutely love that for you!
TIL - thank you for sharing!
This post really is
A gift that keeps on giving
Show me that butthole
I wonder if this is part of the reason why Cox stopped listing their small business plans and prices online. And then there’s the “promotional discount” that expires after a year or two, requiring you to call back in and threaten to cancel your service before they’ll give you back the same price you were already paying. It helps if you actually have other ISP options.
Can confirm that’s by design, AT&T employs the exact same strategy with their business customers and forcing them into “All-for-less” bundle package.
Need a POTS line? $95 + taxes and fees per month, local service only, call features extra.
But get a POTS line and a $15 a month 250mb data plan on a tablet? Suddenly the POTS lime is $30 including long distance and all call features you normally take for granted included (call waiting, call forwarding, etc).
Of course, that price is guaranteed for a year and you’ll have to call billing (sales) to get it sorted out again.
We’ve let ISP’s get away with murder in the U.S.
If they’re still into/attracted to the person after transitioning, yeah I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t call themselves bi/pan.
Not strange to think that given the heteronormative upbringings may convince people they’re straight but they never had the right opportunity to explore it until then.
The important thing is you just let yourself love who you love.
Hope that helps!
If clothes are too big of a hurdle perhaps start with smaller steps?
Try a little lip gloss with a shine, a little nail polish, shave something you normally don’t, whatever feels right for YOU!
My best advice without knowing more is to experiment small, let yourself work your way up at your own pace.
The good news is there are no wrong answers here, let yourself explore and try to have as much fun as you can along the way.
Here for you if you want to talk <3
Missouri State government is so awful.
Vote for sick leave passes, state government shoots it down.
Vote for abortion rights passes, same deal.
We have politicians openly going against the will of the people as certified by majority vote and I’m so damn frustrated I don’t know what more I can do. I normally like to start with sensible options but we can’t even get what we want by voting for it!
Truly a fantastic comment - thank you for sharing!
Pasting here for those who don’t want to follow a Reddit link:

TERFs are attempting to appropriate the term to mean something else – their idea of “gender abolition” is to make sex and gender synonyms, despite it not making any sense.
Real gender abolition is a distant and almost sci-fi ambition, and it’s hard to imagine what it would look like. But the hope is that folks wouldn’t be bound to follow social concepts that are tied to their sex assigned at birth. There wouldn’t be social concepts tied to sex. There wouldn’t be men and women and nonbinary people, there would just be people. Some of them might love dresses and pained nails and makeup, but it doesn’t make them a different category of person, and it doesn’t come along with expectations about their genitals.
If someone desired to change their expression, their name or their body, there wouldn’t be a problem because no serious importance would be attached to these ideas.
Think of it this way: we don’t call people with blue eyes “bleebs” and refer to them with “ble/bler” pronouns. That genetic trait is pretty irrelevant and doesn’t tell you anything about them, so why would we categorize people by their eye color? If the metaphor wasn’t clear, that’s what we’re doing with sex-based genders right now. Society at large conflates sex and gender and those who do not conform are punished.
A post-gender society doesn’t mean that everyone is expected to appear or present androgynous. It means you can do whatever the fuck you want and you wouldn’t experience discrimination or harassment for it because no one would care. I’ve heard some people call it “gender anarchy” instead of gender abolition, because the gender system we have now is definitely hierarchical, and gender abolition would necessitate the abolition of the current gender hierarchy.
I get the point the person replying to Hillary is trying to make, but it’s really not strange to think that in her current age she views a 15-year-old as a “little girl” the way we view Epstein, Trump, and the like as pedophiles for what they did to young teenagers of similar age.
Speaking of which, they release those Epstein files yet?
Adding to this:
Epstein had at least one trans victim, but the headlines seem to put a lot more emphasis on her gender identity rather than the atrocities Epstein was committing.
Highly recommend the Harley Quinn (2019) series if this is something that you’re interested in - It’s not exactly the plot but the focus is properly on Harley instead of Batman, The Joker, etc. (although it does take place in the DC universe and they play their roles)
Native Spanish Speaker here - In a nutshell, yeah that’s pretty much it! =)
