getting a girlfriend isn't about being dominant, even if being charismatic usually would be helpful, it's also not required

you shouldn't feel pressured to get a girlfriend unless you want one, and you certainly shouldn't be pushed into a relationship on someone else's terms

I don't think you should feel embarrassed, but I would understand if you felt angry - your autonomy is being violated, and ironically your dad is only enabling and promoting the behavior he seems to be judging you for. Either way, I'm sorry you were put in this situation, you shouldn't have to deal with this.

A Short Hike was such a cute and wholesome game, was taken by surprise and reduced to tears at the ending 😭😭😭

I just don’t believe anything any jew says anymore, I assume everything is a lie and start from there.

This is so clearly anti-Semitic and bigoted, I don't have anything more to say to you.

You shouldn't think an entire race of people are inherently dishonest, it does not make sense and is hateful.

Goodbye.

Albert Einstein, Woody Allen, and Sigmund Freud were all ethnic Jews who were not followers of Judaism.

Are you young? I know many people IRL who are of Jewish ethnicity but are not religious, but I remember when I was younger I did not have as much awareness.

In lieu of life experience, perhaps it would be helpful to read more about Jewish identity and learn that way:

Judaism is a religion, but also an ethnicity - some people are born ethnic Jews and are not able to "stop being Jewish". Some people convert to Judaism and are not ethnic Jews. You seem confused by this, maybe?

yes, the reason to be sensitive about Judaism is the robust history and present of oppression Jews have experienced. It's unfortunate that Israel uses this as a basis of dismissing legitimate criticism of their crimes as anti-Semitism.

For comparison, imagine a Black ethno-state committing genocide (e.g. like in Ethiopia) and then dismissing critics as merely racists.

because qualifying someone's gender like that can be dehumanizing ...

edit: not to mention the problems with outing someone unnecessarily

most trans folks live as their gender, and the incorrect assignment that happened at their birth is not generally something they want disclosed in most contexts

why specify MtF in this context, the girlfriend is just F, that doesn't really require qualifying does it?

Every summer, the neighborhood throws its own smaller-scale LGBTQ+ Pride event separate from the city's main annual parade taking place this weekend.

It's just one of more than 200 Pride events taking place in Germany this year.

17 anti-LGBT protests against over 200 Pride events, in case anyone is looking for a "silver lining" to this story. 😊
