^^This is power trip stuff right here.
Employers, pro tip: stop expecting candidates to perform an entire circus for you. You already got an application package that took days or maybe weeks to create, plus interview time. Give them the job, or don’t. People are busy.

Oh yeah. So if you don’t have a cervix or ovaries and you don’t menstruate, but you are still a woman, then I think we agree that those things don’t define what it is to be a woman.

I don’t want to go to Galen Weston for my healthcare.

How do you wear a mask "aggressively"?? Stop worrying about other people's faces. It seems like the only "aggressive" thing is you getting up in other people's business. And fyi people are probably glaring at you because you are inserting yourself where you aren't welcome.

In my opinion, it’s not just about being paid by SOCAN. If my art is used to promote something that goes against my values, I may not be able to stop it, but that does not mean they have my permission. It’s okay to say they don’t have your permission even if it’s under SOCAN.
