Sorry, I was in Surly jail. Thought we were discussing trans folks and not gays. They seem to get conflated at times and I’m not entirely sure why. They seem very, very different.
Good lord, they’re not going to put former presidents in jail. But it’s clear to see that he’s not dealing with a full deck at the moment. Some of that is certainly age but some of it is the pressure of these investigations, I assume some will take solace in that.
I caught Covid in Corpus. Shout out to the lady in the booth behind me at BJ’s Brewhouse that coughed all over me. But the beer was great, so it was still worth it.
So I caught up on the last two episodes. Pretty solid, but definitely has a different feel than the game. The game’s better in my opinion.
I was expecting Perry to put a bullet in the back of Kathleen’s head, there’s no way she’s a rebellion leader.
It definitely is a tiny percentage of the population, which makes the over-saturation of that demographic in children’s shows odd. But I’m sure it will regress to the mean in the near future.
I’m all for leaving them alone, the most I’ll ever do is discuss the topic on a political sub forum on a website dedicated to Texas sports.
Sexuality, no. Gender, yes. Having the privilege of raising both, they’re keenly aware they’re different. It’s fascinating to watch.
I also think that people forget at that young age that a rock and a stick are toys to them. When their imaginations get to work, the differences really start to show themselves. I know people want to believe children are this blank slate, it’s just not reality.
My point wasn’t that boys can’t act like girls and vice versa, it’s that as a parent it can’t be that surprising when a child comes out as gay or trans. If they’re paying attention at least.
It’s not just toys. It’s the way they interact with the toys and the activities they enjoy, it’s very, very different. My boys love to fight with them and set up elaborate battles between them, my daughter never did anything resembling that. They want to wrestle and she wants to color instead. Sure, they would occasionally play dress up to appease her and she would do the same, but it wasn’t what they were drawn towards.
I can’t imagine I’d be very surprised at that point. It’s pretty easy to tell early on by the toys they play with and type of activities they enjoy. For example, my sons are all about trucks and action figures, whereas my daughter is all about babies and playing dress up.
I’d say that I love them and I would thank them for gathering up the courage to talk to us. I’d have no issue with sending them to counseling, it’s seems the appropriate thing to do.
