In some languages, Holland is used as the formal name for the Netherlands. Is this a "don't correct someone saying Holland, they're allowed to"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly offended, was having a laugh, but then your response seems to be incredibly transphobic, so I'm not sure you understand humour, or humans tbf.

Me too, particularly when their mindset is so stoic on modern day matters, and offers no alternative solution to something that they're either really, genuinely scared about, or they might be into and are trying to deny it. Drink it and jog home pal, I want to talk about our new signing, not your insecurities about men or women wearing whatever they want. Thanks treacle. So.... this new LB?
