Genuine sincerity is the large majority of what I have planned for the speech. However, he and the bride are already a little bit in defense mode, as their families include some transphobes.
It may not end up being the right call once I draft and edit the speech, but I'd like to try to do something to lighten the mood.
This is excellent advice, because I definitely don't want to make it about me. I realize how the wording of my post kinda implies that I do.
I suppose that I feel, given the circumstance, that I have to acknowledge it in some way. I think I'm just nervous about showing up in a traditionally male role, as a trans woman, in front of a bunch of rednecks, frankly.
Thank you for the words of wisdom!
Nothin' personal man, but you're fired. hhhaaaaa. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Your check is on my desk. Go get it.

Sometimes. Sometimes people do just want to have things be exactly the same, and that's unrealistic.
LibreOffice is not feature-complete compared to MS Office, though. Some people do regularly use collaborative editing as part of their workflow, and there's not support for that yet. Furthermore, LibreOffice does not yet fully support tracking changes, which can be integral to some users (as it is to the comic creator).
I largely agree that MS products are bullshit, but assuming people's issues and belittling their reasoning shore as hail ain't gonna make them switch. It's kinda the issue that this cartoonist is frustrated about. (Though they did have to portray the discussion pretty unrealistically to get that across.)
So sweet!
I was just checking in on this community because it feels like I never see posts from here (I guess all the mtfs just live on onehundredninetysix).
Hope everyone's week is fantastic!
Crazy how much of the scenario person #2 has to already know about to come across like an asshole here.
IRL:
"It can be so frustrating to work with Microsoft Office sometimes."
"Why don't you just use LibreOffice? I switched five years ago and haven't looked back."
"Well, it lacks the functionality I need for my work, offers no support, and is fundamentally incompatible with my clients' workflow."
"Oh shit dude that sucks, guess it's not ready for the big leagues just yet. What's it missing that you need?"
[conversation ensues]
Yeah I think castle doctrine gives you the right to kill him on the spot
Finally, we may shed our woke chains...
I'm going to have to leave an /s here, that's a borderline joke even for me.
This is satire lmao he portmanteau'd the words "content" and "entrepreneur" into "contrepreneur"

Ooh, I appreciate any advice from a veteran best man speech listener.
If I could ask, have you ever seen anything similar to the scenario I presented? I suppose I'm mainly just feeling awkward in my role and wanting to tap into some experience that closer fits my situation.
