Absolutely agree.

One of the ways we've gone wrong so far is that people do need some guidance at least on what is possible and acceptable.

Just saying to young people "Be whatever you want to be" is unhelpful and confusing.

Role models of all kinds and representation matter so people who are figuring these things out as they grow have inspiration, ideas, can see who they are reflected in the world around them so they can put a name to the feeling.

If we can do that without shaming, blaming or excluding then people can find their way without the need of gender binary.

Caveat, not everyone is a suitable role model. Some people are warnings, not examples.

People talk about the characters being unrealistic, I think they're just different to movie characters and normal humans.

I really enjoyed the film.

I'm mid 40s and was taught the double space practice, I guess it depends on when you first learned this stuff, it was very uneven teaching back then

Imagine how much worse it could get if they drank something with alcohol in it.

I agree.

"Compassion Fatigue" is a real thing therapists talk about.

Half the therapy horror stories I hear sound like they're born out of that.

From what I hear, she was no passive beneficiary, making decisions and actively participating in the regime's crimes.

There's thousands of people out there with cancer who can't get the best care, or even adequate care. I hope no one is foolish enough to make her a priority

My solution, refuse to buy until it's on sale. Got plenty to keep me busy 😃
