Parents With Inconvenient Truths About Trans #transphobia #fundie

How do you love a son who continues to refer to himself as your daughter?

I’d joke about having one more daughter.

Goddamn, it must have been tough to see one child grow and suffer while knowing that you cannot do anything to prevent this.

“I remember not too many years ago, my girlfriend loved this singer Geoff Moore. He had this song bashing evolution.”
I can’t find a review of that song, but apparently he redefines ‘evolution’ to be spiritual growth? That’s what impressed you?

“ That was actually one of the catalystits for me looking into evolution. Frankly, that song P.O.d me!”
Piss Off-ed me?

“I got into debaqtes with creationists over it”
Really? They debated you because you… ‘got into’ evolution?

“and it angered me they were so stupid. But I didn't have hard facts to support evolution, only questions they couldn't answer."
That sounds like a creationist tactic…no facts, just open ended questions and declaring victory.

“So I researched it so I could finally shut them up. Only to find that although they couldn't answer my questions, I couldn't support my evolutionary belifes with any facts that I could stand behind.”
So, wait. You DEBATED evolution first, THEN studied it, DIDN’T find any facts, but still had questions THEY couldn’t answer…
And you… BELIEVED in evolution?
I don’t believe in it. I accept it as the currently held theory. But ‘belief’ isn’t the word I’d use.

“In the end, I found they were unlearned in it, but right.”
If they still can’t answer your ‘questions,’ how in the fuck do you determine they’re right?
I really can’t find anything in this anecdote that I trust as a fact. Have you ever had a girlfriend?

I saw a Gordon Ramsey anecdote that wasn’t about cooking. Someone was on a plane, first class, Ramsey came aboard, sat down, immediately started reading something. A woman came on, with a fussy baby, couple of bags, diaper bag.
She ended up seated next to him. Baby fussed and cried, got upset about the engine noise at take-off, all kinds of things. Everyone was waiting for Ramsey to blow his top but he just sat there, ignoring the drama.
The whole flight, never spoke sharply to the woman or snidely about the baby.
Got to the destination, people gathering their stuff, he ignored all of it. Finally the woman turned to Gordon and said, “COuld you at least take a couple of the bags?” he said, ‘yes, dear,’ and took one bag to carry.

"Climategate" turned out to be nothing. We're now experiencing the consequences of inaction on climate change. We could have stopped it when we had the chance, but we chose not to. Specifically so some people, but not all people, could make some money.

The whole “You have to be in the army to vote” is from the movie version of Starship Troopers. In the book, it was any kind of civil service. You could be an IRS agent for X years and earn citizenship. The idea was that only people who’d seen how the metaphorical sausage is made should have a right to determine what kind of sausage it was.

Some men do love violence. So do some women. But definitely not all. Somehow I’m guessing OOP would be just fine with violence if it were a woman being violent toward men

@TheKingOfRhye #263848

Yeah, I happen to love action movies and video games that involve fighting. I abhor real life violence though.

I hate his energy too. And I hate the fact that he is always screaming at someone, as if that’s going to make them a better cook. It’s not - what it’s most likely to do is cause them to make more mistakes because they’re nervous as hell.

And yeah, he really doesn’t seem to understand what makes cooking joyful. Like you, I am a very accomplished home chef. My mom is an actual chef and I have learned a ton from her and I continue to learn from her and now she’s learning from me also. And we have learned a ton from the local melting pot scene as well. We recently made Mexican street corn shepherd’s pie and it is absolutely delicious. But yeah, if Ramsay had been involved he wouldn’t thrown everything out (or possibly at us) before anyone could even taste it.

“If it's not free speech to burn witches, it's not free speech to burn flags.”
All our freedoms only extend as far as they start to actually harm other people.
You’re not harmed if i burn a flag that I own. I can’t burn your flag, that’s your property.
Burning witches harms the witch.
Although i doubt that any witch trial has ever burned a witch.
Witchfinders tend to be bullies. They seek out the week and isolated. Anyone with the power to fight back is generally safe from a witchfinder. Little old ladies who were in some rich guy’s way, or men who said, “Hey, don’t burn Widow Mercy, she’s not a witch!”

Figure anyone who has a deal with the devil, the first thing they’re going to ask in the deal is power. Political clout, financial dominance, physical strength, something that repels bullies. So all the witch burnings EVER did was bullying, whether or not there is a devil and whether or not anyone has ever contracted with him.

“I mean, if you were a racist, would you want to be honest with yourself?”
Actually, yes.

When I was growing up, the only interracial couples I saw were on TV, and for almost every couple either the male or both were suspects.
ONE kiss between Kirk and Uhura, Joey and his wife on one season of Soap, and neighbors on The Jeffersons, but very, very few neutral couples much less positive.
Years later, as I moved to more cosmopolitan areas than South Central Idaho, I saw a lot of interracial couples in real life. And I ALWAYS had a negative reaction to black man/white woman pairs. I couldn’t understand it.
Just on sight, I judged them, esp. the woman. I would stop and examine that judgment every time, until it just went away. Watching old shows on TV i started to see where that came from.

The opposite, white man/black woman, just makes me horny, probably because of my marriage.

SO, yeah, if i have racist tendencies, I’d like to confront them.
I do not pretend to think , though, that this is a common trait, esp. among MAGA types.

“Do some research.”
Would you show me how?

“Did some one design the car or did nature created it?”
Cars are not biological life forms, so whatever the answer is, it’s got fuck-all to do with the theory of evolution.

“Did some one builded the building or did nature build it?”
As above.

“Did some one painted the painting or did nature painted it?”
As above.

I don't see what's so hard to understand about all this. The dinosaurs, acting on an illuminati plan, committed mass suicide in places that would eventually become Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Oman, after the continents shifted to their current positions. The "asteroid", named for the star shape made by dinosaur buttholes, was created as a cover by the Catholic church.

Everyone knows this. Children know this.

Trump rants about losing the 2020 election almost daily, now. His legal defense has devolved into controlling the justice department through political appointees, not allowing investigations into himself (nor his "friends"), while also trying to weaponize it against his enemies.

Everyone is just... letting this happen.

Close! You're thinking of ethernet, which is a means of transmitting digital signals between devices. LGBT+ is an acronym representing a number of identities. I can see how you could make that mistake.

Unlike sysadmins (and other tech people who have to know what ethernet is), members of the LGBT+ are generally pretty happy.

Egg, flour, sugar, and butter taste better individually than as cake. Cake is a physical manifestation of loss.

The lost slimy texture of the egg. The bitter, dustiness of the flour, gone. The endocrine disorders exacerbated by excess sugar and fat intake. These are the things we like. These are the things we value.

Push an american hard enough and a fascist pushes back. They're not sorry for all the damage done for them, in their name, and often BY them (specifically).

Like, they genuinely believe we should feel bad for their soldiers who got PTSD murdering children, for fun. They also believe it's ok to invade other countries and kill millions for oil, so long as you say you're doing it for "freedom". These people consider themselves to be LEFT WING! It is patently absurd. There's no such thing as an "american leftist".

I was bullied in elementary and middle schools. High school went great and even coming up on 30 years graduating (class 1999) I can assure you that in high school I embraced everything that was against social norms. And to this day I love WJ in Bethesda and hate Garrett Park and Tilden. If anything bullying had opposite effect

Part of this was actually correct. SCOTUS decisions are not law, they're legal precedent. America could have made access to healthcare a constitutional right by now. But, in the 16 years since this post, they just re-litigated Roe v. Wade until the christofascists got what they wanted.

Today, Roe v. Wade no longer exists. Women are dying in childbirth again as your "doctors" refuse to treat medical emergencies out of fear of losing their medical licenses. It would be tragic if it wasn't self-inflicted.

At one point during the 16 years since this post, the democrats controlled the House, Senate, and executive branch simultaneously. I don't believe they even made an attempt to enshrine abortion rights in law. They've certainly done nothing, at all, since RvW "fell".

Just look at all the smug comments above. Some of them even poopoo the idea of enshrining such rights in law, just so they can be a contrarian. Those people spent the last 16 years fucking around, and they are NOT happy with the find out phase.

Trump is now deporting the "ones already here", has declared an end to birthright citizenship, has stolen land from farmers to build his wall, and is openly hostile to racial minorities and women. He isn't the worst human to ever live, but only because his ambition exceeds his intelligence. Trump is a racist pedophile, and the american people love it.

“It just shows your faith. True Christians can laugh with joy when threatened with death.”
Yeah, every true Christain in the Twin Towers jumped with joy…

“Most people think we are totally psychotic for that.”
No, I think you’re lying. The Christains who are terrified of muslims being in this country, who think they’re all terrorists, aren’t acting joyfully at the thought.

“ We don't have a deathwish, we just know where we are headed is infinetely better if we do pass on somehow.”
This is a confident attitude, but really not displayed among Christains out there…

“Christians should be the only people on the planet NOT afraid to die.”
So, Trump hiding in a food service cart means…?

“I have a smile on my face all the time because of this knowledge. If I die, I WIN!”
Pretty sure if you die, we all win.

“20,736 will outvote 32 votes everytime! Even when they cheat!”
Science tells us also that the more kids you have, the more that are going to turn out to be gay. Or transgendered. Or smarter than you.
And the more you have, the less you can do for each one. We had three kids and put them all through college.
A shipmate on my last command had 13 kids before his oldest got tired of being the automatic babysitter, dropped out of high school, and ran off. After that his wife left him. She wasn’t QUITE as comfortable with being a baby factory as he had thought. Now he’s got a dozen kids, living in one room with beds inspired by Submarine Berthing… I think this plan is shooting yourselves in teh fucking foot.

I was bullied for years at school and at home. It didn't make me a better person at all. Initially it made me bitter, angry. I learned that no one else would stand up for me, I had to do it (which lead to more abuse). That wasn't true then and isn't true now, but the feeling persists.

The only positive outcome was that I saw the type of person I didn't want to be.

I'm nearly 40 now and still struggle with body image issues (fucking imagine still feeling like an insecure teenager at this age), low self esteem, chronic depression/anxiety. I've been in therapy for unrelated reasons, it has shown me how much the bullying during my formative years affects me to this day.
