Amen to this, although by the time I was thirty, I'd pissed my first wife off so bad it was beyond repair even though I spent a lot of freaking money, effort and time trying to fix it. Don't blame her, we both had issues.I was an awful husband in my 20's, thankfully I have a wonderful wife and both of us were too stubborn to quit.
Maryland Refused To Give Back A Virginia Runaway Because Her Parents ‘Misgendered’ Her. Then She Was Sex Trafficked, Mother Says.
A 14-year-old transgender runaway from Virginia endured a six-month nightmare that saw her twice fall into the hands of sex traffickers, the second time after Baltimore bureaucrats refused to return her to her home state because they accused her adoptive parents of “misgendering” her, according to records reviewed by The Daily Wire.
The child, identified in legal documents as Sage, was adopted by her biological grandmother, Michele Blair, after the death of her father. Long troubled, Sage began identifying as a male named “Draco” and ran away from their rural home in late August of 2021, only to end up on the mean streets of Baltimore, where authorities rescued her from a convicted sex offender, according to records. But instead of returning the child to her grandmother, Maryland officials put her in an inner-city group home. The reason: They thought her adoptive, blood-relative parents didn’t seem to sufficiently recognize her transgender identity.

Well said!!!This is really the long and the short of it for me when it comes to this nonsense. If someone wants to live their life pretending to be a member of the opposite sex, fine. I'm glad we live in a country where someone has that kind of autonomy. But that's exactly what it is. It's a costume that someone is wearing to make themselves feel more comfortable with themselves. Fine! Got no problem with that. However, I wholeheartedly reject the "I think, therefore I am" idea that if a man wants to call himself a woman, not only IS he in fact a woman, but I'm also somehow expected to play along with that pretense and if I don't that makes me a hater of trans people! I'm not going to ignore facts to spare your feelings. Sorry! Get some thicker skin. Your'e not 5 years old. Be an adult about it and recognize the situation for what it is. Don't attempt to rewrite reality for everyone else to suit your sensitivities!
I was raised to believe that the onus is on me to figure out how to fit in and function in society. Not that I should expect society to capitulate to my whims! That is beyond narcissistic behavior and really that is what rests at the center of all of this. We have become a society of narcissists who truly think everything revolves around the individual. Thats how you get stupid sh_t like Leia Thomas kicking women's ass in the swimming pool, when both he, and the NCAA DAMN WELL knew he would have an unfair physical advantage over them! The fact that he could stand on that podium and proudly accept that award without even the slightest hint of remorse shows you just how ridiculous it has all gotten. He and everyone involved in that fiasco that supported it should be absolutely ashamed of that!
Aren't you asking to prove a negative? Why not try an prove that obesity has an evolutionary advantage for the species overall. I can see an argument being made that additional fat layers are good for groups that live in higher latitudes, although I have serious reservations the Swedish Bikini team would have been near as popular if they all weighed as much as some the plus-sized denizens of the average Walmart.It isn't? Do elaborate.

Gotcha. I agree with you. Fat storage does have an advantage for the species or it would not have evolved. Obesity, on the other hand, is nature's way of thinning the herd of the least desirable members.Not prove, necessarily. Just to elaborate so I cN better understand your point.
We wouldn't have places built to store fat cells if excess weight wasn't natural.
Obese people tend to have shorter lifespan. I'd say that's a form of natural selection.
And this is where the case for this nonsense breaks down completely. What an insult to women. As a father and husband, I’ve watched the specific challenges women face. I wouldn’t trade places for all the money in the world (as if I could). For a biological male to think that womanhood is a costume you can put on is the most insulting, disrespectful, and misogynistic thing I can think of.
Then, to try and force this twisted agenda on others, or teach it to children. These people should be locked up and lobotomized, not celebrated.

Sadly people have no shame anymore. I see people post things all the time on the net that the CIA and FBI couldnt waterboard outta me. Would rather just die. This world is so very screwed up. Too far gone to ever recover..

Thinking about the Leia Thomas situation, I wonder, if I identify as an 8 year old, can I join a little league football team and wreck everybody on the field? I mean after all, going by the logic of the trans gender community, how I identify should take precedence over my biological reality.
A-freakin-men. I’m an empty nester now, and my wife and I once again have a social life and are doing all kinds of things. My daughter asked me why we do so much of that stuff now. I told her, the moment you were born, I sat all that aside. I quit playing golf with the guys. I stopped going to bars. My focus and identity became “dad,” and I wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of that.I had this conversation with my daughter after her divorce. She was contemplating some really dumb career and financial decisions because she thought they would make her "happy" and "didn't she have a right to be happy". She was pretty shocked when I told her that she lost the right to be happy when she had a kid, her only concern now was taking care of her daughter and not her own happiness.
A lot of issues going on there. First one is what kind of effect did all those male hormones have on the pregnancy and the child? That can't be good. Secondly, who banged this binary person on this one night stand? That had to be fun for that guy...Trans Dad Got Pregnant after one-night stand during transition
A 36-year-old trans dad from Seattle who identifies as non-binary and queer has been documenting how they “took advantage of the body organs I was born with” to give birth after a one-night stand during their medical transition.
Danny Wakefield came out as transmasculine — a person assigned female at birth but who identifies with masculinity — when they were 25, went on testosterone treatment for nine years and had a double mastectomy in Florida during the transition.
Trans dad Danny Wakefield details life as single parent
^^^^ WHAT in the oral history of the word f%!k is going on there? Again my concern is the kid. Some poor kid is gonna be raised by a mentally ill person, hope the hormones, likely alcohol/drugs from 1 night stand, etc havent adversely affected the kid from birth as well
