I was looking forward to another post from Giraffe, but she seems to be stuck on this thread.

On the other hand, it might be helpful if @Karenwiz used the He/Him shit.....

Back in the early 80s I did my first tranny. I thought it would be easy. Right amount of lube, line up the shaft, and BOOM...IN ! I was wrong. It put up quite a fight. The shaft on that tranny was loooooong. I mean LONG. I thought, "this thing will NEVER fit. I jacked it a bit; nope, not going in. I jacked some more, and even though it was lined up and lubed, it was not going in. Finally I jacked it a few more times and at last, it was in. Now I was reaching around for the nuts. I knew they were there, but I was at the end of the shaft and the nuts were too far to reach. I ended up repositioning myself and I could just graze them with my fingers. I reached a little further and had the nuts in my hands now. I knew that tranny was not going to stay in unless I could reach those nuts. I remember getting lube all over the place. What a mess.

I did manage to get the tranny's picture.

Yeah, brings back memories back around 1970.

Had my tool on the nut, pushed down as hard as I could, tool slipped, and my tool cracked me on the bridge of my nose and broke it! Man, that hurt. True story.

Bell housing nut stripped. Was replacing clutch I burnt up at the drag strip, on the then girlfriend's car (now SO). Blasted my nose with a 5/8" box wrench when the bolt rounded off (I was laying underneath the car pulling the wrench down)

You’ve convinced me.

I’ve always identified as a mathematician that believes 2+2=5. I believe it…and I insist you do too.

You’re obviously able to rationalize this pronoun stupidity. (How, escapes me but whatever) We can normalize just about anything if we disconnect far enough.


You do you.

Wrong.. 2 + 2 does not equal 5. It eguals 22.

She may be sick of everyone thinking she is a man.



I have a harder time when a singular person, man or woman, wants to be referred to as they/them.

If you’re a woman and people are mistaking you for a man on the regular I’d suggest some makeup and lipstick. And tits. Don’t forget a big ‘ol rack.
