Lol as someone who is somewhat bilingual (I didn’t learn my mother’s maiden language very well. Just lazy really lol) I instinctively kind of roll my eyes whenever I hear about the X number of supposed gender pronouns.
Because it’s damned easy in the English language, compared to other...
Out of curiosity I googled to see what famous people have been intersex or hermaphrodites.
Quite an interesting list.
Didn’t realise ambiguous genitalia at birth was as common (estimated to be 1 in 2,000)...
I recall reading about recommendations from various child experts and psychologists calling for basic sex Ed to start as soon as possible. To prevent sex abuse or to allow students to understand when a line is crossed, so are able to report it.
Relying on parents just allows for abusive...
I’m curious.
Is forgetting you have secret documents (which is a dumb thing to do, obviously) a crime in the US?
If you’re president, I mean
Like the amount these guys must be handed is surely obscene, given your secret service and military efforts. Internationally speaking. So forgetting a few...
True enough.
But not returning documents, even classified ones, simply by mistake still sounds a hell of a lot better than going out of one’s way not to.
I don’t know how your laws work with regards to this sort of instance. So I don’t know if Pence and Biden even broke your laws or not. I...
Well doesn’t intent play a part in the severity of legal offences?
I know it usually does in my country.
So if I understand correctly (and I’m not American so forgive me if I don’t) Pence and Biden rectified their admittedly awful blunder rather quickly. So their defence could be easily...
I mean, okay. I guess?
There was a miscommunication based on my usage of an agreed upon term.
I just feel it impolite not to apologise, honestly :shrug:
Yes.
Apologies. My language perhaps wasn’t very clear.
I tend to conflate the two and forget that that’s probably not the most accurate way to view them
Actually no, not really, anyway
I certainly recognise that these things can be aspects of the advice given. Depending on the circumstance, of course. And I think it’s best to see if that is required, once a kid comes out. It might not be, I honestly don’t know every circumstance
I was actually...
Okay, I misunderstood
Not really. People who identify as trans usually have gender dysphoria (as is my understanding, not saying all trans people do though) and that typically requires medical advice.
But you know, living life usually requires medical advice.
Students here are encouraged to...
Hard to argue with, given the stories I’ve heard.
Even some of the folks I follow on YouTube/Twitch have similar stories. Usually for being gay and/or trans
Although one was shunned simply for being atheist (his family are Jehovah’s Witnesses.)
Is it bad of me to say that such a pledge gives me huge cult-y vibes? Like yikes!!
I get making a promise to uphold X values or whatever. Even make a ceremony of it, if you like. Whatever
But yeah I think I agree with you.
I mean, just coming out? Sure, I guess that in and of itself doesn’t really need medicine or anything. For any identity.
It is still usually medically recommended that trans identifying people seek aid/advice. They can elect not to, that’s entirely their choice. Or their parents’ choice, rather...
Geez if that’s the case. Then I’m worried what Trump says about the Republicans then.
Like that guy makes my idiot drunk politicians look halfway decent.
