    Only men carry condoms? That’s easily your wildest take in a string of wild gendered unfair stereotypes

      No. That’s not the only reason. I’ll break it down:

      So you have a folding, pocket wallet. Not necessarily a thing that shows gender, but the 2 condom imprints is something to take note of. On top of that, a trans ftm would still have little need for a condom. If they want to be tom-boyish, then they might carry a condom, but it also depends on their stage of transition if they choose to have a transition that way or not. A mtf trans might need a condom, but not stereotyped in carrying them in their fold wallet. A lesbian might carry a fold wallet, but why do they need a condom? A man (straight or gay) will have the most need for a condom in their fold wallet making them the most logical response to be a naturally born male carrying a condom. So sticking with the evidence of a condom in the wallet, I can begin to break everything else down.

      The person I originally spoke with is young and had an appreciation for 80s tech (that explains their watch) carrying a hankerchief is weird, but I’ll assume that makes them modern hipsters. Carrying a pen with you everywhere? Well that just makes you a nerd and almost (potentially) deliberately going against the ebb and flow. Granted i don’t believe there’s anything wrong with that, but all signs point towards that the person I was originally speaking with is either a naturally born male that is a hipster and nerd (which tells me a lot about their idea of feminism) or a previously transitioned male (which, and this is IMO, you’ve lost your right to speak for the gender you transitioned from and should begin representing the gender you have or are transitioning to). I can keep going if you’re interested

          Wow. You found relevance on the internet because you can’t find it in your personal offline life.

            Umm…what? It took you this long to come up with a reply, and this is the best you got? Seriously??

            I’m not sure if this is funny or just fucking sad…

              Oh sorry. My personal life is more important than your opinion. Sorry if you’ve been told otherwise

        no one should be keeping a condom in their wallet. It reduces effectiveness.

        Not the point of your tirade, but for anyone else misguided enough to read this far.

          They’re quarters. I told people as much in the same thread they’re referencing, because someone very politely made the same point that you are, that it’s not good to store condoms in your wallet. They just didn’t bother to read the multitude of different times I said they were quarters in the comments.

          They’re for getting a cart at Aldi when I go grocery shopping.

        Wow. All that and you didn’t even see the part where I say it’s a quarter to like six different people. Jesus Christ you’re fucking exhausting. “Man” is a complicated label for me. I’m male. I’m more masculinely aligned than feminine. But I’m also currently on estrogen and testosterone blockers. I don’t specify in part because it’s personal and messy and I didn’t see the relevance.

        Also IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. I’m allowed to criticize the behaviour of fictional characters regardless of being amab and my critisism is fundamentally not about his being a man or her being a woman. Do you always go around being an insufferable jackass to people based on literally nothing but your assumptions about them?

        Christ man, why be like this when you could be literally any other way? I don’t deserve the weird and unpleasant way you’ve engaged with me.

          So you’re allowed to criticized fictional characters, but I’m not allowed to criticize your fictional criticisms?

        Don’t wear yourself out with those mental gymnastics. We don’t need an entire essay mansplaining your thought process. I’m glad your intentions are pure but the fact remains. You are being bigoted so just stop. Don’t tell us why it’s ok for you to say bigoted things because you mean something different in your head. Just stop saying them.
