The August 9-12 weather event in Australia was one of the longest cold stretches and greatest snowfall totals so far in this century, according to climate and atmospheric scientists.

 

Last weekend – about August 9 to 12, 2019, as we in the Northern Hemisphere continued our summer of record high temps and melting sea ice, plus widespread Arctic fires – Australians in Victoria and New South Wales had extra-wintry weather and unusual snowfall

Kangaroos......snow....

Something I never thought I'd read in one sentence. I think of Sand and kangaroos. Pretty pic though.

😮  I don't know how this could be compared to cross dressing in the slightest.. 🤷‍♀️

Cross dressers want to see how they look as female and see how others will repond to a female impersonation. Why would anyone feel a need to see me as a female?  I wouldn't to see myself, that way and have no curiosity along that and wonder why any male would want to be seen as a female, especially in public. 

On my part this could be a repugnance developed from a mother (No, not Maryjean) that got a kick out of dressing me as a girl. I was told I was so-o-o cute. I grew out of cute.

I concur Jerry. I restrained myself from commenting on the pic. There have been a few who've used this app, my son did the aging one- looks just like his dad. But to see yourself as the opposite sex feels wrong to me, and to share that pic well, also feels wrong. Where is that scripture, can't remember.

Okay, I’ve never posted in this particular subject. Here goes...little snips of our ministry in Hoopa!

It snows on the mountain ranges in Victoria and NSW where the ski fields are, but generally a lot less than this. It snows in other southern states too -Tasmania, lower South Western Australia and the hills near Adelaide. 

 

This was exceptional snowfall in the ski fields, and the poor kangas didn’t know what hit them.

This is when my wife asks me to pose... (somewhere in LA)

And I say ...like that!?

Judging by the hair salon in the background, "Salon Maxime," it looks like you were on Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills, CA. Nice pose!  😀

Correct

I guess we can agree to disagree on this. I think it's fascinating and not related to cross dressing at all. It's simply a photo effect- no clothing changed.  🤷‍♀️

 

I look just like one of my brothers here... he agreed!  😊

I saw this one today, I like it, it is very pretty building. So shared with you.

It is probably a generational thing. As I understand, you are a few years younger than my granpa. I am sure my granpa would not have approved of the pic either. Probably even my dad would have felt the same despite being only in his mid 50s. But it is not an issue among young people because we do not see it the way you do. It is just a photo effect in an app. So comparing it to cross dressing is an overreaction. Here where I live even some elders had no issues with their own female photos and discussing them and having a good laugh. 

 

But I get your point. So I apologise for any offence caused. Mind you, I did ask the mods to remove it after seeing your reaction, but they said there was nothing wrong with it. So it seems only a tiny minority has an issue with the pic. 

 

But I still want to ask the mods again to remove the picture for personal reasons. I now think it was a mistake to post it on a forum where there are people of three different generations.

I guess this is the kind of situation where we need to be somewhat careful about what we do with this app. We recently had a ball using it to make people's photos younger, older, blonder, maler and femaler. Nobody was seriously stumbled. I personally think a lot of us have asked the question "What would my life have been like if I'd been a boy or girl" or "what if I had a brother or sister". Looks like there are some that would be stumbled at this kind of experiment, though.

 

Anyway I did the same thing with a photo of myself, which was hard with a beard.... so it kinda worked with one where I only have a moustache. And I look totally like my cousin. When I make myself look older, I look totally like my uncle, her father. We did the same thing with a photo of my wife and she looks creepily similar to her cousin in Hungary.

Were they actually "stumbled" (had a crisis of faith) or were they just "offended" (didn't agree with it)

Br. Ruben,

 

The question is, how do we/or some one should know if this or that action (photo, or something else) "would" stumble others?
