I don’t believe someone can have a fully informed sexual or gender identity at 8 years old without them being thoroughly steeped in someone else’s sexual agenda or at least being overexposed to sexual or gender matters and in such a case their opinion isn’t reliable enough to be taken seriously.

Yeah, I have no doubt that at at certain age kids have a pretty good idea if they are trans or not. But I’ve seen stories about kids who are 3-6 years old being identified as trans. Maybe they are. But I have an almost 3 year old who sometimes identifies as Cookie Monster or dinosaurs. I’m pretty sure that’s just a…

What kind of stupid comment is this?

BULLSHIT.

Absolutely not.

Why are non-adults being allowed to change their sex when they haven’t even fully matured?

The actor is survived by his family and Bill Pullman.

I’ve always wondered: if I’m just too lazy to shave, is this a feminism victory? Or am I just a fucking lazy slob? I’m fine with either, really. I’ve just always wondered...

That’s sad. :(

There are actually are (used to be? Not sure how things are in recent years) a lot of hunters who are members of the Sierra club because hunters are pretty tuned in to how demolishing wild spaces affects them. Things have gotten more polarized over time, so it’s possible that’s no longer true, but it certainly was for…

Not sad either, he was a douchebag. His wife is an absolute saint though, he cheated on her and had a baby with the girl, and his wife actually helped with the babysitting. Maybe she is just afraid of him.

My first manager at a teenage job was a dedicated deer hunter. He used to tell me about how he would spend the day waiting for the right deer, and how he would see one and often let it go if it didn’t feel right or was too small - telling me how he was waiting for that one to grow up more. He would go an entire…

hunting from helos was THE BEST THING

It’s for assholes who want some kind of movie-version war glory but are too afraid of something that shoots back.

I have to say that Irish dude looks more like a racist Jewish caricature

It’s just kind of ridiculous. You think at 31 (and having a tendency to like guys either the same age or older) that it wouldn’t be so hard to find a guy who wants marriage and children. I’m not even saying I want to get married tomorrow. I’m not going to be like sitting down on a first date asking for medical history…

I’ve never started a post here but I just really needed some support tonight. One of my cats died on Valentine’s Day morning. I was sleeping and I woke up because I heard an odd noise at 6:30 am. It turned out to be her moaning right before she died. I found her behind the curtains by the sliders, just laying on…

Go to the Musee d’Orsay. Even if you’re not a big art buff, it is wonderful to see a lot of famous Impressionist paintings in real life.

Documentaries likes this should be shown to children in school starting in the earliest years. And safe introductions to a variety of local animals should be fostered, i.e. visiting a sanctuary for rescued farm animals, and teaching children how to interact safely with common neighbourhood pets like dogs should be…

Nature guide here. Please note that ridiculous criticism came from a rival producer, and the only unflattering organized study I know of On nature docs suggested that people may be more likely to imagine a “creator” after watching them. But it doesn’t turn people into creationists.
