Probably not. I’d imagine that the people upvoting it love the ideal of a self-professed gay man hating on other LGBT people for not being tolerant of his intolerance. They claim it’s weird that the LGBTQ community leaders ostracize those who denigrate T and Q people. The leaders would want people within the community…

Speaking of regrets, you have to wonder if any of the 108 upvotes for that garbage comment wish they could take them back.

Gender dysphoria is a psychologically valid condition in the DSRM-5. That’s a scientific fact. Gender is not the same as sex. That’s a scientific fact. You continue to conflate the two either out of ignorance (which I’ve provided at least a basic intro to via that wikipedia article) or transphobia. Be a better gay.…

You support trans people, but also think they’re crazy. Good to know.

Gender != sex. Sex is the biological component, gender is social construct (hence how different cultures in time and geography have different conceptions of what it means to be socially a man and a woman). People with XY chromosomes can be born with…

Ah, so you’re one of those transphobic gay men. Wonderful. You got yours, so fuck the T. Nice.

Yeah, trying to get people aware of the reality that we’re on a path to making earth uninhabitable, is “self-righteousness”.

As a gay man who doesn’t agree with everything being “fought” for right now from the community

Maybe Trey and Matt weren’t intending to say that

And that episode was only from 2009. They are still backwards on a lot of issues. I don’t even watch anymore since they’ve gone full-in on the anti-political correctness bandwagon. And IDK why “Cissies” got such good reviews from progressives, it read as critical of gender fluidity to me; Cartman was blatantly abusing…

I wonder if now they’ll do an episode where they acknowledge many people still use the word “fag” as a homophobic slur.

If you read through Kohn actually gives a lot of suggestions of positive things to say that aren’t praise! It can definitely feel really daunting at first to re-frame how you talk in such a fundamental way.

I wish - mine doesn’t. I get some paperwork on when my babies moved to “solids” and how to ween and things like that - but nothing on discipline.

My state actually mails out developmentally appropriate packets for both of my kids once every year or so, and it’s great. (I think it’s based on the hospital submitting their birth information?) Information on what milestones they should be hitting, what vaccinations they should be getting, proper portion size, etc.…

Some pediatrician's do this at well-child visits. I remember leaving with a binder every year lol. 

Spanking is wrong but what’s worse is that even when it ‘works’ it only controls one very specific behavior at a time. Teaching them to think before acting is better. I don’t only want my kids to avoid going into the pool unsupervised, I want them to learn how to keep themselves safe in any dangerous situation so…

We need to start arming parents with the tools to raise children. Doesn’t matter if you are a young parent or an old parent - lots of people just don’t have a fucking clue on what to do when your kid is acting up.

Seriously! Have you ever seen a little kid? They are LITTLE. And trusting and defenseless and dependent on adults to keep them safe.  Anyone who thinks it is okay to hit them has serious issues.

Always confused me how it was a crime to hit an adult. But a defenseless child that you have complete and total control over - smack and whip away.

The best response I’ve ever read to “Look, my parents spanked me and I turned out fine!” is “No, you didn’t. You think it is okay to hit little kids.”

Alfie Kohn has convinced me that praise and punishments (corporal or not) really are mostly bullshit, which was radical to me when I first started in education and child development but now seems totally intuitive.
