They aren’t given puberty blockers with no puberty to block…
And your parents didn’t let you change… but if you went to a therapist and they saw an actual issue not just a kid being a kid but actual gender dysphoria then it becomes different
I’m a step father. But I’ll address your first paragraph and the last. The tea parties and such doesn’t matter.
Children have a concept of gender as young as 2-4. They start to make their own decisions on gender around 4-7. Allowing them to be children is allowing them to make those decisions.
Cutting someone’s hair short and calling them he or letting it grow calling them she has no repercussions. If my kid came to me and said “being called she doesn’t feel good” then I wouldn’t call them that. When they were 7 they noticed I called their mom babe and got said. I call her baby doll now so she has her own nickname.
These are things that therapists and doctors are researching. At 5-12 gender affirming care is all social. Names hair cuts shirts pants skirts.
Also, talking to your children early in an age appropriate way so they understand their own bodies is the quickest way to reduce their risk of sexual assault… I agree let kids be kids but don’t put them at risk for self harm or assault because you have a certain idea of gender.
Gender affirming care can be as simple as the way your hair is cut and changing how people address you. Children start noticing their gender that young so yeah it’s possible that a kid that young should be having some sort of gender affirming care. But that usually is social. Hair cuts clothes and words that match what the kid feels. When they go into puberty it’s puberty blockers if they still feel this way. And it’s all with medical professionals from therapists to medical doctors helping parents navigate these decisions with their kid and monitoring them if puberty blockers do happen down the road.
Wrong. Children as young as 3 and 4 notice gender incongruities. 5 and 6 is when you start asking for your own clothing and hair choices. No one is giving puberty blockers unless they have somehow started puberty that young but to say that this kids aren’t socially transitioning is unfair. The Doctor wouldn’t support this take.
What does marriage have to do with gender affirming care?
Also do you think children on their own decide to get puberty blockers or HRT? You know it’s done after a lot of therapy and discussion with professionals right???
Gender affirming care for a 5 year old is a hair cut a trip to the mall and adults changing a few words in their everyday speech. OH NO THE HORROR
Also gender affirming care for 5 year olds has nothing to do with hormones or puberty blockers…
Ohios maps been being battled over for a while this Gerry meandered bullshit turned my state from purple to red and it’s insane
I agree but the fediverse is built on open source evangelists you aren’t going to get a lot of agreement. I use an iPhone an Apple Watch and AirPods and have a work issued Mac I like them all just fine
I used to watch her. She claims left/moderate depending on the day but is about as “moderate” as Tim Poole
I live in Cuyahoga falls which is considered mostly moderate Republicans. They’ll vote Trump but they aren’t the types you’d see on Jan 6th. They know he is bad but felt lesser of two evils about Hillary and they would mask up when in grocery stores type. Just old white people basically. I saw TONS of no signs and like 2 yes signs so few that me and my girl joked about taking them
Roll your own? The thing is most of us left Reddit because of decisions from ownership. Administration forcing Reddit apps to pay insanely high fees while not fixing the official Reddit app to be more accessible for blind people and to have the tools needed to moderate communities is why we left…
The people that left because of “micromanaging moderators and admins” left when they closed r/jailbait if you wanna invite those creeps back go ahead and make your own
I have the Baratza Encore ESP and have loved it for pour over aeropress and a dedica with a bottomless portafiler
I voted for Romney because I didn’t like the Johnson wing of the party…. I felt it was a bit to far down the end of burn it all down. He reeled it back in a little bit then I remember a crowd booing him for stating drivers licenses aren’t bad or something and I knew it had gone full unhinged.
As someone who voted Barr-Romney-Johnson-Biden I’m gonna be in the booth pissed I’m voting for Biden again considering the libertarians fully lost the plot and Republicans went full fascist with trump
Just being confident does wonders. Be who you are unapologetically someone will find you attractive…. I got one making my Big Ass the little spoon RIGHT NOW
The fact that Danny got those tapes from giant bomb makes me happy. I know the boys at GB these days are putting in work but aren’t gonna be able to use them and Jeff has other work on his plate with the kids so Danny being able to use the fact that documenting video games is his bread and butter is so great
10 years ago I would have considered myself a small government conservative. In some ways I still feel that way because of my distrust of the system but more and more I can’t jive with it
People like this honestly probably WOULD say that telling 5 year olds that LGBT people exist forcing the adult world onto kids. They see a gay person or a trans person and THEY themselves can only think of the sexual implications, they can’t POSSIBLY think of the humanity within that person.
