Men are not inherently Evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

Someone would carefully snip a sound file for each song for sale, ensuring the 30 second snippet was representative of the track. Not just the beginning, not always the chorus, but the most iconic part of the song - possibly to help people who were literally browsing with their ears, trying to find something they’d heard on the radio. Or possibly because that was the most marketable way to sell songs. I remember them doing a good job - they would try not to cut off in the middle of lyrics, and so on. It struck me that it would be a cool job to have, being the person who snipped the songs.

Then you could buy the CD. I think you could possibly also bring a CD to the screen and beep it, to make it play.

There would usually be some dreadful man in his twenties listening too hard at the screen, and if you were a small child, your duty would be to go and stare at him contemptuously until he moved. Then he would do the same to you. You would hate each other coldly and without speaking. In those days it would not be worth making a forum post about it, but that was the level of hate that you would both have in your heart. He would always win anyway, because he was not there with his mom.
