I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

People.
They’ll lose their minds over a delayed train, snap over a slow barista. Let a spilled coffee ruin their day.
But when it comes to the big stuff, staying in the wrong job, letting their dreams die quietly. Wasting years on auto pilot.
Nothing. No urgency. No reaction.
We treat small problems like emergencies and the real emergencies as background noise.
Why do we do that?
Great discussions

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

I don't think science can answer the question definitively. Is it really science to say that at 17 years and 364 days a procedure is ill-advised, but the next day it becomes acceptable?
I think she's trying to get to the right answer for the most people possible. She isn't abandoning the science. She is simply acknowledging its limitations on decisions that affect real people's lives.
These are decisions that need to be made by the people most intimately involved, especially the parents and hopef…
They are not a lobbying organization. Nor are they masquerading.
"The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), formerly the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA), is a professional organization devoted to the understanding and treatment of gender identity and gender dysphoria, and creating standardized treatment for transgender and gender variant people. WPATH was founded in September 1979 by endocrinologist and sexologist Harry Benjamin, with t…
That's an opinion piece by someone who is biased against GAC.
Hang in there Matt! My daughters' child has gender dysphoria (age 6 and has been adamant about such for about two years). I have been reading a ton of stuff and trying to get up the curve. Actually just read the WPATH 8 yesterday (most of it). It is well reasoned and does not say thou shall do this, but instead indicates without huge amounts of scientific data that which is their best opinion. The many professionals behind it do NOT have an agenda IMO. There are many (even trained professionals…
I remember playing that game, too. I remember how calling someone a fag was the worst thing you could say. You sound like a good man. I think we're on our way to figuring it out. I don't think it will take sixty years. The current young generation already understands.
Thanks Matt and M Hutcheson, it’s a pleasure to read your reactions. BTW I am a gay man who remembers the years of fag-bashing, although I rarely hear it now, thankfully. Much of the world has changed for the better, but in some places and conditions those old prejudices do recur and harm. While I appreciate your remarks, I DO want to point out that the transgender issue originally under discussion in not, strictly speaking, a gay issue. That is, sexual orientation (gays and lesbians) and gende…
I understand. I've had to adjust my priors quite often over the last few years. The thing that changed me is knowing trans and nonbinary people in person. I work in the arts, where it's rather common.

Ничего нет вернее смерти, того, что она придет для всех нас. Смерть вернее, чем завтрашний день, чем наступление ночи после дня, чем зима после лета. Отчего же мы готовимся к завтрашнему дню, к ночи, к зиме, а не готовимся к смерти? Надо готовиться и к ней. А приготовление к смерти одно добрая жизнь. Чем лучше жизнь, тем меньше страх смерти, и тем легче смерть. Для святого нет смерти.
