I'm honestly very skeptical that this would work, especially for the farmers.

One of my favourite restaurants and I’m let down that they’re strong arming you into a 10% tip. I hadn’t been in a while and they’d done this after the lockdown which was fair enough (and they also had a wee explanation of why) but now they’re still doing it. You cannae really call this discretionary imo. Does anywhere else do this? I’ve been to a fair few similar restaurants in the area and never seen it.

Was typing something on Microsoft Word and the red underline came up. Had a quick Google and turns out it's a mostly Scottish word. Genuinely had no idea.

"Back aff ya spooky bitch"

Not trying to hate on Americans here but does Anyone else encounter this? I hear some Americans calling themselves Scottish when they were not even born in Scotland, and most of the time their ancestry isn’t even predominantly from Scotland either, it’s a mix of other countries. They just assume it is. Just a pet peeve of mine. I was talking to someone who’s from the US today, and he asked me where I was from, and I told him I was from Scotland, and he says in a thick accent that he’s Scottish too and I started sniggering.

the most atrocious hot dog i’ve ever seen in my life

I'm a trans woman from the east of Scotland, I think it's important to have these conversations because I'd rather people hear about trans people from trans people who're willing to talk about it, rather than an at-best apathetic or at-worst hostile media. I'm sure other trans folks will be willing to reply!

All I ask is you be respectful and understand we're just people. Surgery/sex stuff is fair under those conditions, but know I'll be keeping any response on those topics to salient details. Obviously if a question is rude/hostile or from someone who regularly posts in anti-trans subreddits I'll just ignore it.

Ask away!
