Another possibility is that God makes these "mistakes" so that it will improve humanity as a whole.

Interesting to see the reactions here about this story. This doctor identifies as a Christian and the reaction here is to talk about how much Christians are fucking things up. Which, I mean, they are in the sense that large powerful groups can and will do that. I don't have a lot of sympathy for them or think they're…

I really liked his approach to it. No fuss, no muss. He's fixing errors in biology with the skills we have right now. Everyone should be so straight forward.

It's also possible that God simply set the universe in motion and left it alone

I love how straightforward he is about the idea of "correcting mistakes." I just love expressing the idea that a mismatched gender identity is simply a biological mistake and not some sexual deviant. From a country with very recent development of LGBT+ rights.

You read that undertone all by yourself. You admit that priorities change, so do responsibilities. There are only so many hours in the day, so you can't spend as much time on friendships if other things are going on. To someone without the added responsibility, it may seem like the person doesn't care as much as…

LW#2, of course they don't hold your friendship in the same regard as they did before, because they have at least 2 people who are closer to them than their friends now. Like it or not a spouse and a child become more important than friends. It takes a lot of work to be married and raise kids, sorry the hour long…

Here is my problem with the friends with kids question. I have lots of single girlfriends in the same situation, do not want kids ever, etc. and I totally get that. At the same time, when a person starts a family, typically (and rightfully) that family does become their #1 priority. I've lost a few friends who became…

I wonder how old #3 is. I used to try to boss my friends, but eventually learned how annoying and pointless that is. Just let them do their thing. You can say you don't want to hear about it any more if they keep getting in the same bad situation, but you can't stop them.

Nooooo, what will the ladies-of-a-certain-age wear?

Soooo looks like Rep Holmes missed Blind Side. I understood his original comments certainly but when he dived into I'll pay $$$ to see a white family with black babies.... he got off track. It's 2014 dude, not 1964. It's easy enough to find plenty of trans-racially adopted families. It's actually getting harder to…

Politician loses high-stakes bet; doubles down with Hitler reference. RISKY MOVE, BRO!

I was adopted by white people and a hoard of angry white people who adopted black babies sounds terrifying to me.

Not even the usual Jez cursory-make-believe iota of feminist viewpoint here. Just bland acceptance of the whole notion that all women fit into some type of bitch category? So now, just like women can be mocked for being both too fat and too thin, too slutty and too prudish, the list also includes too…

This is beyond dumb. We as women have a ton to offer the world, regardless of your drink preference. If you buy into some mysoginistic 3 minute video or some irrelevant rapper, you are stupid, not basic. Go volunteer somewhere or call your grandma for putting this out in the world.

Seriously? Cause I absolutely had to do all those things for both of my dogs when they were puppies. In fact, my dog-owning new mom friends have mentioned to me how similar having a puppy is to a newborn (with some very obvious differences of course like breast feeding) but they weren't being facetious. Both are big…

I totally agree that animals and kids are on two different planets. But, some people have never even held a baby before they have their own kid. I think animals can teach people responsibility and having to work a schedule around another being, which is a foreign concept to some.

I had a dog when I had a baby and the dog was far more high maintenance. The dog is dead now, but I have a toddler son and he remains the least high maintenance male in my life (compared to my ex, boyfriend, father, etc.). Also, people shouldn't be comparing animals to children in general. They are completely…
