Can you tell me how it is harmful to tell a child that being a girl or boy is more about whether you feel like you are a girl or boy than how you look?

Can you tell me how it is harmful to tell a child that some people have two moms or two dads?

Can you tell me how it is harmful to tell children not to make judgments about a person based on how they physically look, even if that judgment is something small like what gender they are?

This is what gender identity and sexual orientation lessons look like for young children, and I am really confused as to how these lessons are harnful to the youth.

What you're saying is that--FOR YOU--sex and gender is easy. You do not speak for all cisgender people, buddy. Some cisgender people ALSO struggle with their identity, and thus teaching children at a young age about gender identity and sex to allow them the freedom to explore their identities is helpful.

Your argument boils down to: People are too afraid and confused too talk about sex and gender... which is why we should stop talking about sex and gender.

I heard that's what they did for your mom's house.

Trans is short for transgender. Being transgender is not identifying with the gender assigned at birth, so I don't see the issue with the foreword.

Nobody has ever yelled at me for eating or posting a picture of my American Midwest grocery store sushi, get the fuck outta here.

The irony here is that the term cultural appropriation has been politically appropriated, the same way that many of these explorative racial theories are, like woke, like social justice, like critical race theory. They are taken from their academic settings and eventually used to suppress actual concerns raised by denegrating it and reducing it to something that is both laughable and fundamentally not what it is.

They talk big words and say nothing. It's an argument method where they attempt to look good/smart and goad other people into looking angry. In this particular case, they want you to reply angrily and say "Look how intolerant they are to me, and I was just pointing out how intolerant they really were!"

Your logic is true, but what you're forgetting is that they already have a number to beat, and it's $0.

What you're talking about is something bigger than simple novelty. It kinda sounds like depression, and that's a lot harder to fight against than breaking routine. I mean, breaking routine helps me a little bit, but it's certainly not the cure.

But if you want to argue there's only a limited number of things to do for free, you can spin that the other way, too. There is only a limited number of things to buy. I dunno, that kinda makes me feel better, but I'm weird like that.

I think I'm gonna keep badmouthing CEOs, thank you very much.

Not all new things cost money. You can walk a new way to the same places. You can find new books at the library or online. You can just do things you already do in a different way, and that can be novelty.

Unlike the current system, where healthcare becomes completely out of reach of normal people.
