Who has school aged kids that are dealing with these weirdos

[Helico-pterFunk]

Yeah, man. Very interesting stuff to see the human mind adjust when normalities are challenged. I’m having to do this with my “brother”-in-law.

I’d be lying if I say I wasn’t somewhat amused by all this nonsense. It’s like a dome of hypocrisy entrapping people into a state of caring until the next political issue arises.

Yeah - especially for young people because you're talking about SERIOUS, life-changing decision-making.


My mom was telling me about her niece last year and said she's sort of sad & lost. It's one thing for someone close to you to be underdoing something serious. Let alone 2 of the closest people to you that you "thought you knew".


Also ... trying to figure out and process your thoughts and emotions. As your parents, grandparents, or aunts & uncles don't really have much advice to offer ... as they weren't dealing with these societal issues during their day. What help or advice can they suggest?

The problem with people is that we get caught up in believing that stability is a real thing when it merely an illusion. When I speak to my grandmother who is 93, I realized how much change she has gone through in life. Granted, things like religion or genders were more stable. But in 2023, not so much.

The human mind builds perceptions and realities based on reoccurring elements that shapes how we see and navigate the world.

Your niece had a metaphorical death in a sense that what was normal to her no longer exists. There are many folks like her do not think that it could happen to them.

Again, I’m as alpha, black, and masculine at they come. I was raised by a blue collar worker and Vietnam vet. I had great examples of male leadership. Yet, the gods gave me a “brother”-in-law that is transitioning to a man. But before the transition, they are doing an egg retrieval.

And I’m here for it all…

Agreed.

Well said re: stability, illusion, perceptions and realities.

Interesting re: your "brother"-in-law.

I hear you re: grandparents and older generations. Hearing their stories growing up ... grandma would tell me "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know" given the shit she's seen & experienced in life.

She passed in 2008 at 81. She'd be turning 96 this summer.

Yeah, old folks are my greatest natural resource of human perception. Listening to their stories and how life changed for them over the years keeps me grounded.

Whenever I get a chance to listen about people’s experience, I do for the most part. Folks today, seems to care less about that.

They're a wealth of knowledge.


My grandpa was a quiet, introverted guy. Loved nothing more than quietly tending to his garden. Loved watching Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, boxing, baseball & pro wrestling. Some of my best memories with him would be in the garden, eating a meal and playing cards watching boxing ... or driving him to errands & medical appts. He passed in 2006 at 83 after a number of health issues for years. Really got to know him well in the final few years, and was always close to him and grandma prior too. Asked him what it was like growing up dirt poor on a farm in Alberta - the eldest of 11 kids. His dad got ripped off in a business deal bankrupting him ... fell into major depression and in turn killed himself. Grandpa dropped out of elementary school and thereby became the "man of the house" as a little kid with several younger siblings. Had a few near-death experiences at sea as a fisherman (lost a number of friends to capsizes / drownings). When he passed we waited until his birthday the following year, and spread his ashes at one of the fishermen's memorials & in the ocean, and went out for his favorite meal (fish and chips).

Saw a video of a 50+ year old fat cac twerking in front of kids, in his tighty whiteys, yesterday at a pride parade.

I'd post the video..but I won't

I was saying in another thread previously ... my mom's got a niece who is around 20 / 21yo now. She had a close group of friends throughout elementary & high school. They did everything together. All were pretty good students (say 8 - 10 kids total). Niece planned on going into nursing post-secondary. Near the end of high school 2 of her peers in the friend group said they were looking to transition from female to male. Essentially 20 - 25% of her friend group.

It really fucked with my mom's niece's mind / psyche. She didn't know what to think ... sent her into a depression of sorts as it became the entire focus of the friend group's discussions. Everything else went by the wayside (i.e. - fun activities / get togethers / shopping).

She has been working odd jobs the past few years ... put her plans to get into nursing on hold for the time being. Said she can't focus properly or dedicate her time properly for the nursing program.

Talked to my mom earlier today. Sounds like she's (niece) in a better place now. Currently overseas working this music festival ... her spirits are up. Working security (read: she wants to see the music performances, lol).

Oh boy

 

[gene cisco]

Oh boy

I can not put into words how much I hate these fucking people and their apologists. First the shit ain't happening(will even use fact checkers), then when they finally admit it's happening, they claim anyone against it is a nazi. It's the same playbook over and over.

Justin Trudea(sp) was out here saying Muslims are falling for right-wing extremist points. No, they are just following their religion. I'm starting to have a lot more respect for Muslims.

Oh boy

Bro I need more info this looks fugazy af, not goin lie.


Edit: ya'll didn't read through that twitter thread at all, huh? You know anybody can publish anything they want right? This is a book for sale in Austrailia, it's not part of anybody's curriculum anywhere. Right-wing propaganda and you took the bait.

 

[gene cisco]

Man, I didn't see this and posted it in another thread. But yeah, this fuck shit going to Gavin's desk. But hey, it's Fox news propaganda let some tell it. Nothing to see here.

Never been happier to be in Ohio, especially with a younger child. Fuck these weirdos.

It's all politics. You just posted a bill that is fuckery and headed to the governor's desk. Crickets.

But hey, if you google the shit, it's hard to find MSM covering it. Again, POLITICS. They claim the left don't run MSM and have too large an influence in big tech.

Exactly.
They'll literally sacrifice their CHILDREN if it satisfies their political agenda.
And that's just sick AF

 

[850credit]

Someone will die over this when they come to get those kids

 

[brickcityhustla]

This the type of shit that would make me vote for trump and all republicans up and down the line from dog catcher to governor until there are no more soft shoe weak ass democrats left in all of politics.

California courts may weigh affirmation of child's gender identity in custody cases

Fam, with all due respect, the source is the bill. It's criminal and using a make-believe social construct[gender] that people are using real medical intervention to AFFIRM.

You do realize these weirdos have moved the goalposts on what AFFIRMS mean. Just a few years ago, they said they didn't use puberty blockers and that it was right-wing propaganda. Now being against AFFIRMING with puberty blockers is 'trans genocide".

Fuck these people, that bill, and anyone who supports it. Black kids will end up sterlized behind this because there is already documented proof this 'gender' shit is a social contagion.

Question...who is they? Because many a slimey politician or a dumb ass voter has sacrificed or threw their family under the bus because of political tribalism.

 

[gene cisco]

Holy shit. I don't believe it. Gov Newsom vetoed the bill. That batshit Lori Wilson probably shocked too. Unlike shills here who are never wrong, I can admit I was wrong on this. Thought for sure Newsom would have signed it. Wonder if those weirdos started calling him a nazi yet.
