You're missing my point that I am a gender nonconforming woman while also being a lesbian. Please see "gender variance/nonconforming":

  1. Gender variance or gender nonconformity is behavior or gender expression by an individual that does not match masculine or feminine gender norms. A gender-nonconforming person may be variant in their gender identity, being transgender or non-binary, or they may be cisgender.

  2. Gender nonconforming means not adhering to society's gender norms. People may describe themselves as gender nonconforming if they don't conform to the gender expression, presentation, behaviors, roles, or expectations that society sees as the norm for their gender. People of any gender identity can be gender nonconforming.

It is in fact possible. My gender expression and my sexuality are two different things. I identify as a gender nonconforming woman bc I don't partake of many societal norms all women are assumed to automatically adhere to. I also identify as a lesbian. I am not sure what is confusing about this.

Reply to /r/SpringfieldMO random discussion thread by AutoModerator

Is there somewhere that I could donate a working computer? I pieced together a Windows 11 PC from old parts and would like to get rid of it, but I really just want to donate the computer without a monitor or peripherals. Also, it's in a very large and heavy mid tower case.

Reply to k-pop fans? by mysticmutes

It's not cringe to enjoy what you enjoy 😊 I have family members obsessed with K-Pop, but they all live in Michigan. I hope you're able to find other K-Pop fans! I'd check with your local librarian, too. They might be able to help you find a group or event where you can meet other people with similar interests!

Reply to comment by justinhasabigpeehole in Thinking about moving to Springfield in the spring need recommendations on rental house/apts by justinhasabigpeehole

Rental Management I couldn't say, I own my house. Rented for a year before buying. Prior to the pandemic your budget would have been good but no longer.

I've seen posts similar to yours before and know that a good neighborhood is going to cost more.

I did find this, near the hospital, shopping and restaurants in a good neighborhood and this is about what you'll need. If you find something else I can tell you wether or not it's a good neighborhood.

Reply to Are there any couch to 5k training groups in Springfield? by LurkingOakleaf

I did a marathon training program with Fleet Feet in the past. The groups for 5k, half marathon, and marathon all met at same time for many of the runs. Of course the distances being run were different for each group. But it seemed many if not most of the 5k group were new runners. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves and getting something out of it. I don’t think it’s expected that 5k group comes to it with high baseline fitness.

Part of being a runner is the great camaraderie of the running community! The Fleet Feet group will have great mentor/other runners that you will meet.

I highly recommend you give it a shot.
