we went on a trip to an adventure play thing and the entire group put in a formal complaint because one person got accidentally misgendered and another person got scared when they climbed too far up a ladder
one of the leaders of the group was an androgynous woman who was about 40 years old and identified as nonbinary genderflux and queer
they refused to say lgbt and said ‘variations’ instead because “lgbt is too exclusionary”
they unashamedly included intersex people in the lgbt community
my mum’s partner did a presentation about smoking there and explicitly warned them beforehand that there was a photo of a smoker’s lung in the presentation but when it came to the slide with the lung everyone started screaming and yelling that they were going to have a panic attack and he’d purposefully triggered them
satanist furries. s a t a n i s t f u r r i e s.
“we’re all so QUEER! god don’t you love being QUEER?? i sure love being QUEER, don’t you??” like fuck off man you might be queer but i’m not
we once had to get a big sheet of paper and write down all the identities we could think of including shit like ‘stargender’
i was the only cis lesbian in the entire group (there were about 25 kids there) and it honestly just felt so lonely
one time i was wearing shorts and i’d forgotten to shave my legs and honestly for a group that claims to be accepting i got so many judgemental stares and it just felt so awful
one of the group leaders told me maybe i’d decided on my sexuality too quickly and needed to reconsider
i’ll add more if i remember but it was honestly hellish
The LGBT community is doing more harm than good these days
My current job has me working with children, which is kind of a weird shock after years in environments where a “young” patient is 40 years old. Here’s my impressions so far:
Birth – 1 year: Essentially a small cute animal. Handle accordingly; gently and affectionately, but relying heavily on the caregivers and with no real expectation of cooperation.
Age 1 – 2: Hates you. Hates you so much. You can smile, you can coo, you can attempt to soothe; they hate you anyway, because you’re a stranger and you’re scary and you’re touching them. There’s no winning this so just get it over with as quickly and non-traumatically as possible.
Age 3 – 5: Nervous around medical things, but possible to soothe. Easily upset, but also easily distracted from the thing that upset them. Smartphone cartoons and “who wants a sticker?!!?!?” are key management techniques.
Age 6 – 10: Really cool, actually. I did not realize kids were this cool. Around this age they tend to be fairly outgoing, and super curious and eager to learn. Absolutely do not babytalk; instead, flatter them with how grown-up they are, teach them some Fun Gross Medical Facts, and introduce potentially frightening experiences with “hey, you want to see something really cool?”
Age 11 – 14: Extremely variable. Can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one mode to the other. At this point you can almost treat them as an adult, just… a really sensitive and unpredictable adult. Do not, under any circumstances, offer stickers. (But they might grab one out of the bin anyway.)
Age 15 – 18: Basically an adult with severely limited life experience. Treat as an adult who needs a little extra education with their care. Keep parents out of the room as much as possible, unless the kid wants them there. At this point you can go ahead and offer stickers again, because they’ll probably think it’s funny. And they’ll want one. Deep down, everyone wants a sticker.
This is also a pretty excellent guide to writing kids of various ages
Though DNA tests have proven the child isn’t his, Alexander still owes more than $30,000 to the state because the child’s mother used his name as the father to get welfare benefits.
When someone asks what MRA’s are fighting against.
How fucked up is it that they take the mom’s word over a freaking DNA test?
Honestly this should be considered a form of fraud. I mean the bint lied on a federal form which would be enough to get someone among other things incarcerated or deported depending on what we’re talking about.
he’s saying we need to help each other stop dying by loving each other and stopping violence
This is one of my problems with identity politics: you all excommunicate any minority that slightly disagrees. I don’t see any problem with Stevie Wonder’s speech.
DISSENT IS NOT ALLOWED.

This chart should explain what he’s talking about pretty well.
