Hey reread the piece, man. These are parents that will not let a doctor examine their baby because they want to keep it a secret from EVERYONE what junk their baby has. They are not going to get good medical care if it contradicts their opinions which is scary. Also sex doesn’t determine your gender, but it does…

First sentence. I literally dismissed the birth certificate issue. It’s more about the way they drew a line at allowing doctors to examine the baby, which crosses the line into harmful posturing.

It’s also foolish to attempt to cotton wool them from genders and sexuality identification when they get to school and will immediately be ostracised as they won’t be “he” or “she” but “it/they” which is really going to single them out. 

I read it as “Cyril.”

Yeah but also like...if your kid is trans they’re going to experience dysphoria anyway right? Because they have sex characteristics that do not belong to the gender they identify as. So really this is about the parents and it’s going to be annoying as fuck for their poor kid from a legal standpoint.

Yes! Thank you! And besides from, you know, biological facts, this is a clear case of a parent forcing their viewpoint on a child long before the child is able to decide anything for him or herself.

Yeah I thought BC’s listed “Sex” not gender. We all understand the distinction by now... This fight seems out of place. You either have one set of goods, or the other, or a rare mix

This. Sex and gender are two different things. It’s also relevant for things like statistics. Honestly, this is just silly.

I don’t suppose it matters on the birth certificate, but it does seem a little foolish to just pretend sex has no relationship to health. You don’t need to force anything on a child, but that is medically necessary information regardless of what gender, if any, the child identifies with.

Me on the Celine Dion post:

I think she’s just programmed to respect any adult white male, period.

Herpes isn’t usually that hard to deal with.

I can’t even figure out what the draw is for someone like this girl. He’s not religious (even if he pretends to be, occasionally), he’s not smart or well-spoken (clearly!), he’s not cool, he’s not respectful to women... what is a young, college-educated woman seeing in him? Is it just that he will attempt to advance…

That’s what it made me think of too. When I tried to sound it out, it came out like this:

Plus Godzilla wouldn’t stand for any of this voter interference bullshit and would just incinerate Moscow.

I assume Eric has never wiped ANYTHING for himself.

I’d rather have Godzilla as president. There’s be far less general destruction of our country.
