So all the jokes we make about "trans babies" are coming true. This phenomenon, where yesterday's parody becomes today's reality, is happening so absurdly frequently these days that it's making my head spin.

The doctor should be shitcanned for malpractice, and any parent who dignifies such a question shouldn't be allowed to keep a pet, much less a kid.

reminds me of 4th-grader Martin Prince squeaking "I'm not gay! I'm NOTHING yet!" in The Simpsons

of course nowadays they'd just stealth-edit that scene since it's now dogma that elementary schoolers have full-fledged sexualities, which isn't rampagingly suspicious, no sirree

(and when the eternal truths as discovered by a hivemind of sophomore girls first exposed to a topic does a 180, it'll be stealth-edited once more and you're condemned for bringing up the past mandatory consensus)

It always bothers me when parents or adults in general start on with romanticizing their children's platonic childhood relationships in a rather insistent manner. Not that "oh they're so cute playing house together maybe they'll get married someday" sort of just general playful attitude but the whole, "my child is special because of their sexuality" attitude which is just bizzare to me.

Kids are kids. Let them be kids. I've met kids I've thought "yeah maybe that kid might grow up to be gay" before but I'm not going to tell them that. Or try to convince them that they can be happy for who they are.

Seriously walk up to some random kid and be like "it's ok kid ugly kids are valid people too, you'll be sure to find someone who loves you" and you'll get really pissed off parents. But these parents will to on about "queer kids" just seem to me to be doing another version of that.

I would ask where I record the baby's sex.

I often do this now on legal forms if I get them in pdf form I open them up and change the wording of the forms with a pdf editor before signing it. I often wonder how much i could get away with because these places don't pay attention to the legal documents either. Usually they have some dumb legal wording where you sign away your rights to litigation and I want to try removing some egregious wording some time and see if they accept it lol...

Right now i usually just go in and chang dumb things like refusing to answer any questions which use the word gender because it's too ambiguous. I received this on an insurance form. They sent me a pdf to sign so I just changed the wording and they accepted it.

I just refuse to awknoledge gender. I don't really know what the modern term means. So I don't feel comfortable choosing any "gender".

Sex is a different matter entirely.

Gender ideologues don't know what it means either. It actually meant something to 2nd wave feminists but the postmodernism of TRA ideology just undefined it into meaninglessness.

So glad my state is sane. Kind of worried about the next few years when this stuff is pressured on us.
