We are all allowed our emotions responses - but after we have gone through the emotions on subjects like these we need to take a step back and analyze why we think this way and how to address it so we can fight these negative and harmful thought patterns. I was nearly 24 until I got over my internalize misogyny,…

And a boy would somehow be exempt from that????? You do realize your son would have the same DNA/be raised by you and thus pick up on your traits?

At least you admit these asinine beliefs. I can give you credit for that.

And you hope for an easier experience via hoping for a particular gender? WTF. I'm done, just own up to your sexism, Jesus.

Do you wish for your children to have an easier life just by changing their sex chromosomes or for you to have an easier time parenting? You know that sex chromosomes won't determine if an individual will develop one way or another, wishing your child is one sex or another for 'their sake' is just plain sexist.…

You're the one posting your sexist attitudes on here - don't get mad at me for calling you out on it.

Being called out on you being sexist hurts, huh?

Then why the fuck would s/he desire one sex over the other if not for tired old gendered stereotypes? Going through puberty is hard enough, you don't need your parent wishing you were born a different sex whenever you have a particularly emotional day just to make their life easier. Get a pet if you want something…

It's almost like someones personality is not based on their sex chromosomes!!

Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

Yeah I do because that's fucking sexist as hell. Just own the fact your sexist.

What the fuck is wrong with you wanting one gender over another because girls have mood swings or some shit?

Reguardless of what gender your child is you help them navigate through the emotional turmoils of puberty, not wish they were born as something else.

This is not the correct way to address the issue.

That's fine and dandy for a lot of people but for others it us not as simple as that if they have certain medical conditions or take certain medications that can make recording things like that ubreliable. I know a lot of people are unmotivared, myself included, but to pretend that it is so simple for everyone is…

That is the most beautiful gif I had ever seen.

Of course, but finding that magic number is much easier said than done.

I don't think we are on the same page. I am not saying people don't overeat. I am saying it is hard to know exactly how many calories you need to consume/burn in order to loose weight because everyones bodies are different with how they metabolize calories.

That is the nature of internet discussion.
