I keep hearing from detransitioners that nothing they did made them really happy. They would tell themselves that they were happy, and try to feel happy, but they were always chasing some ideal that never materialized.

It really blows my mind that this is even a thing. Back when I was growing up, kids would mess around with hair and clothing, but we'd never dream of going on hormones or having surgery. You just muddled through high school, eventually figured out who you were, and life went on. I know I sound like an old fart, but holy cow...

I remember reading some Leslie Feinberg about 17 years ago, and I think we have her to thank for a lot of this. Only, funny thing, as far as I know she never got bottom surgery. Seems like this really began to take off around 2008-2010 or so.

I think it would be helpful to define genocide. Is genocide the physical killing of an entire ethnic group of people? Is genocide the imprisonment of an ethnic group? Forced relocation? Forced language shifts?

Genocide in its most literal break down means "race killing". Not culture killing or language killing, but race killing. I know people sometimes talk about linguistic or cultural genocide, but the term seems to be over-used.

If we can define terms, then we can decide if a term is being used correctly, or if a less intense or more intense word needs to be used instead. This is the problem with post-modernism. Increasingly, words mean what a person wants them to mean subjectively. This makes historical discourse and contemporary dialogue kind of hard.

Oklahoma ‘Millstone Act’ seeks to ban gender-affirming care under age of 26 by Vulptex in politics

But if the surgery is innately harmful and the tissue in question isn't infected or harboring a tumor, why cut into it? And as the issue is with the person's perception of their naturally male or female body, this seems more like a psychological issue that needs therapy, not a physical one that needs surgery.

I get that this may be a sensitive issue for you, Vulptex. And you have my sympathy and my concern. But honestly, man, look at the de-trans testimonies. And the things that can go wrong with this surgery are startling. Life-changing, but in all the wrong ways. The ones who regret it, regret it big-time, and may even consider killing themselves.

I'm on the fence. I'm not sure that this should be outlawed, but I really don't think a kid should be able to get access to this stuff. If they're not old enough to get a tattoo, get married, consent to sex with an adult, or go to war, they shouldn't be old enough to go on T or E or get top or bottom surgery.

I'm torn. I definitely feel like no one under 18 should be given opposite-sex hormones or surgery, but 26? I would say, either allow folks to get hormones and eventually surgery at 18, or just ban hormones and bottom surgery all together.

Given how messed up the results of bottom surgery often are (pain, wounds that never heal, weird complications, drainage), maybe no one should be getting this surgery. You can't do to the human body what these surgeons are claiming, anyway. And the ones who regret the surgery regret the $#@! out of it.

How Old Was Mary When She Had Jesus? Historians agree that Mary was most likely between 12 and 14 years old when Jesus was born. by [deleted] in whatever

[–]tiny-brown-mug 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

She was likely closer to 14 when she was engaged to Saint Joseph, and closer to 15 when she bore Christ. In pre-diaspora Jewish culture, girls would not have been typically married until they were old enough to have children, and like Jett implied, girls back then developed later. Thanks to all the hormones and junk in our food today, girls as young as 8 begin developing physically, but on a natural, pre-modern diet 13-17 would have been a more realistic age for a young woman to be able to have kids, and hence get engaged.

The engagement period also typically lasted about a year, after which the young man and woman began actually living together as husband and wife.

This all kind of gets implied in the Gospels. The Annunciation happened after she had already been engaged to Saint Joseph, and she was found to be expecting a Son during her engagement period. This would have had to have been a long enough engagement period for her family to notice she was pregnant. It's also shown that a girl of 12 (Jairus' daughter) was still at home, thought of as child, was not engaged, and was not yet married. So 12 is a bit young.

Based on more natural human development and 1st Century Jewish culture, we can infer that Mary was 13-17 when she was engaged and 14-18 when she bore Christ. thumbs up

Arkansas: passes a bill that makes drag shows adult-only (rightfully so) TRAs: THEY LITERALLY WANT TO ERASE TRANS PEOPLE by BenitoGreen99 in TumblrInAction

I think that if a few fringe members of the community hadn't gone way, way overboard with "Drag Queen Story Hour" and if we weren't seeing this frantic rush to trans kids, this would never have happened. The extremes are pushing other extremes. Having said that, I agree that drag shows are very... adult. They're obscene, contain enactments of sex acts, raunchy jokes, etc. They're not meant for kids.

This may lead to gay bars who host these shows being limited to 18+ admission. No minor teens, no kids, show your ID at the door.

Well, they're not supposed to be. Problem is, now you have drag queen story hour, kids being taken on field trips to gay bars, and adult sexuality being taught to kids at younger and younger ages. This is all concerning, and tends to point back to the LGBTQ community, even though plenty of LGB people are not on board with this.

I don't think this will impact cross dressing. This is basically about performances, specifically raunchy stage performances where men in drag sing and perform in an explicit or obscene manner. This is not about a man wearing a dress in public as he shops for groceries, gets his car fixed at the shop, and pays his water bill.

You are Not Ready for This: Did Protocolists Euthanize COVID-19 Patients with Ventilators and Sedatives "To Save Other Patients", >50% kill rate? Up to 70% of COVID-19 Deaths Due to Ventilators by zyxzevn in Coronavirus

I wondered about this. I remember reading a very weird article in early 2021. A 19-year-old girl was having trouble with Covid (some breathing issues), and her mother brought her to the hospital. Once there, she was put on oxygen, and then the hospital decided to put her (the daughter) on a ventilator. The daughter was screaming and crying in terror at the thought of being on a ventilator as she saw this as an indication that she would not recover. The 19-year-old girl was put on a ventilator, and died.

Ok, now... most 19-year-olds can recover just fine from Covid. This girl may have had complications which made her very sick, but still. If she was screaming and crying at the thought of being put on a ventilator, did she really need a ventilator? And why did she die after being put on one? Shouldn't that have helped her?

The whole article was just incredibly messed up.

That's incredibly sad. These poor kids. The adults who push young people (and other adults) into this are morons and creeps.

You know, I would bet almost any amount of money that most of these girls have been molested. There's this intense disassociation with their female bodies thanks to the abuse, and a desire to transform into something else. But instead of addressing this, they get labeled "trans" and put on hormones and sliced up. It's sick. In the 90's way.

A relative ran into this. She asked a younger (19 or 20) customer for his email address, and he seemed confused. He didn't have one, and never had. I do suspect, though, that e-mail will make a retro comeback, as many young people grow sick of social media. Just like Walkman players, mp3 players, dumb phones, and cassettes. :)

I don't blame the McDonald's for calling the cops. After watching hours of footage of outraged, unstable customers attack workers over fast food, calling the cops may be the best answer. People go nuts in McDonald's.

school should be banned by sneako in whatever

I hated school. The only class I liked was art, and I got a tiny bit into geometry. The rest of it was very difficult to get through. The degree is worth it, though.

Homeschooling might not be a bad idea, so long as the kids aren't too sheltered, and have plenty of opportunities to play with other kids, and have fun and see the world, a bit.

It seems like all the Covid shots have risks, though I am hearing about this more often as more people get the booster shots. I would avoid the booster shots. If you already have two shots of whatever in your system, just go easy on your body. If you have any boosters in your system, go really, really easy on your body, and don't take any more of these things. This was a massively cruel, greedy medical experiment.

Yeah, don't work out too hard. If you do have at least two doses of this stuff in your system, go easy on your body. No jogging, no sports, no aerobics.

Walking, light stretching, that is it. If you have to climb more than one or two flights of stairs, maybe consider taking the elevator.

There is not a lot of data out there to help people, because the medical establishment does not want to admit that anything is wrong. But based on what we can see here and in the news, intense physical activity can be dangerous for the vaccinated. Don't risk it.

Oh, I agree. I hate apps. I avoid them as much as I can. And the creepy, constant push to "download the app!" really cheeses me off. I can't even browse Reddit on my phone ( I have a smartphone, too) without an eventual demand to download the app if I want to keep reading.

Apps are spyware.

I've also seen Gen Z getting into portable CD players and Walkman players, and that cracks me up. In a good way. These poor kids are so overloaded with flat screens and smartphones that anything with buttons that only does one thing is relaxing for them.

Hey, John Raymond. I'm not Catholic, but have a lot of love and respect for Catholic Saints and theology. I go to Mass when I can. Good to meet you.

Vatican II has been.... interesting, from what I understand. I think had the Pope just read the Mystery of Fatima when he was supposed to, none of this would have happened.

Prayers for the Church, and for all Christians everywhere. God bless you, man, good to meet you.

This is why I find federated and decentralized social media so confusing. It's a bit much. I can find my way around a website like this, or a discussion forum, but I can't do all of these separate servers. It's confusing as heck, and just makes me balk. We also need more options for social media that are anonymous. Username and password only. No email linking, no 2fa.

Looking at her Twitter posts, I have a hard time believing that a lot of this is real.

"I went on a first date last night. At the restaurant, he ordered a domestic beer and a steak. I grabbed the bottle of wine I ordered and left immediately."

"Went on a date last night and the guy was mansplaining, an alpha male power move. It reeked of small dick energy so I got up and left."

"Went on a blind date last night, we met at a coffee shop. He ordered his coffee black. I got up and left. Sure sign of a wannabe alpha male who lives at home."

Something I've always kind of wanted is a platform that combined social-media like functions with e-mail. So that it's less of a visual over-load, and keeps a lot of the communications as dms / e-mail. Or, maybe, and e-mail that allowed you to use it more like FB, only private. Just wondering.

I know, right? I get the impression she's lying / exaggerating about a lot of these dates. Perhaps the guy ordered a black coffee and she was internally repulsed but stayed through the date and never called him back. I have a very hard time imagining that any woman is shallow and ridiculous enough that she'd walk out over how a guy takes his coffee. And if she is this particular, she'd be vetting her dates better. "Must use oat milk in every coffee you order".

The north dakota anti-pronouns bill by Hoomsns in whatever

Good. I would more than anything like a bill saying that no one is obligated to use anyone's preferred pronouns and that no one can be fired over this issue, either. Maybe that's exactly what this will be.

If I can't bring myself to call a male co-worker "she", I shouldn't be hauled into HR or fired over it. This is a mater of one's medical, biological, and even moral views about sex and reality, and if one feels it's just a flat-out lie to use language this way, they shouldn't be forced to.

I'm not adverse to setting up separate bathrooms or individual changing rooms for these people, but forcing women and girls to stare at male genitals is just wrong. The irony is that the public's growing frustration and disgust may eventually lead to people getting violent and hurting MTF men, so the whole goal of shoving this down everyone's throats to keep trans people "safe" may in fact backfire.

"My other experiments followed similar patterns. I couldn’t reduce consumption in three significant areas since I don’t own a car, I was already vegan, and I have no children."

Perhaps this is the goal. No cars, no meat, no baby humans. And no electricity. While a part of me finds projects like this interesting, I can't help but feel that there's an extremist message or end goal here.

CNN Confirms Biden Took Classified Documents Relating To Ukraine During Final Days Of Obama Administration by EternalSunset in news

I have a question. Is Biden hiding something in Ukraine? Because he seems to be absolutely obsessed with that country, and he's spending billions to make sure Russia doesn't take it over. China forcefully took back Hong Kong, we didn't care. India took back Kashmir, we didn't care. Israel keeps chipping away into parts of Syria, and we don't care.

Why is he so obsessed with Ukraine? What's he hiding over there?

Do you guys think all the people who got vaccines are going to die? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

I think most people will be ok. Those who, sadly, seem to be dying in large numbers are young, healthy athletes. Which is especially maddening, as young healthy people were least likely to die of Covid and really didn't need these darn shots. Most people I know who got them seem fine. I know of two vaccine injuries and a possible third, and all of them are pretty messed up. Migraines that never go away, dizzy spells, symptoms that mimic MS, etc. Sheesh.

I'm glad you seem to be ok, though. Just go easy on yourself. The less active a person is, the better chances they seem to have of not experiencing weird problems later.

GOP bill says only the American flag can fly over US embassies: No more pride, BLM flags by [deleted] in politics

I traveled to Maine this past summer. Rural Maine. And if anyone's every been up there, you know it's the New England approximation of rural Indiana or something. Very down-to-earth, hard-working, moderate-to-conservative folks.

So a town had completely replaced all of the US flags on a public bridge with Pride Progress flags. Every single one. In rural Maine. On a public bridge. I had to kind of stare at the scene and mentally process it. And it's not like some or half of the US flags has been swapped out, every single one was gone.

How is anyone not supposed to interpret that as some kind of a hostile take over? And on a public road?

I think a good second tactic would be to ban social media. I keep hearing story after story of folks who "realized they were trans" after being told that they were on Reddit, TikTok, Tumblr, etc.

This is good, though. This surgery is not care, it's pretty messed up. You want to cross-dress? That's your call to make. But the number of folks who regret this surgery is staggering. And the stuff that can go wrong is grotesque, and painful to hear about.

What gets me is that she was fired for using the platform exactly as it was intended; she followed people she agreed with and was terminated for it. That's ridiculous. I would argue that social media is so broken and weaponized, that there's no sense in being on it.

Just stick to anonymous places like this and maybe some weird, hipster sites like "space hey" or something, or an anonymous blog. Using anything as yourself just seems risky. And I agree, it shouldn't be that way. But it is, unfortunately.

No, I agree. Something needs to be done here. People have been fired in the US over "offensive" on-line opinions, which is incredibly subjective. Women have been arrested in Europe for saying that men can not be women. It's getting ridiculous.

Maybe have it be very strict; if someone threatens to kill you, physically hurt you, or hurt your family, sure. Prosecute that. If they just have an opinion that you find stupid or ignorant, ignore it and move on with your life. Because this is having real-life consequences, and it's like China's Weibo. Only, according to one user on here, worse.

Well, I think that being offended has become equal to being punched or beaten in some people's minds, which tells you how rarely some of these people get off of social media.

But either there need to be some ground rules about what can and can not get a person fired or (my advice) folks just need to get off of social media until things calm down. Because being fired for following Blaire White of all people is just stupid. So what?

I'm already weirded out that typing something into Facebook or Twitter while you're off the clock and sitting on your couch can get you canned. Your social media life and your work life ought to be separate.
