trans bears are literally stronger than any US marine

How on earth would they be able to tell that a bear is trans. I’m not saying they can’t be but how would they communicate that.

In like 1998 my very femme lesbian friend went to Pride in London and was all excited at the “teddy bears picnic” happening in one of the city parks. She took along a picnic hamper and her cuddly teddy bear. Needless to say, the large hairy gay men all thought she was adorable and she had a great time

Arthur (over the tannoy): Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please. This is the airport speaking. Listen to the airport. Flight 202-02-02 is now ready for boarding at Gate… Eight. It isn’t late. It will not wait. If you want to be on that aeroplane… it’s time to get on the aeroplane now. If you have young children… put them on the aeroplane. If you have any hand baggage… put it on the aeroplane. If you have any bombs… they’re not allowed on the aeroplane. Please, put them… in the bin! Okay, bye! Love, the airport.

So are those people who want more generally-pleasant low-conflict slice-of-life stories where the main characters are all extremely likeable familiar with John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme Series 9? Have you heard the good word about Series 9?
