Dino is not really Fred, he just identifies as Fred. I really should be more accepting.

Maybe he's using mine?

But there's a theory that we're the same person...ask around.

You might get a straight answer...

In other news, Target's stocks have fallen 5.8% since the bathroom equality announcement.

Ist mir Wurst. Sometimes there can be financial hits for doing what you perceive to be the right thing. We've seen this on both sides of this debate as companies say they won't go to NC and other states. You can't please everyone and so you have to deal with the consequences.

Right or wrong, apparently quite a few people view Target as being in the wrong on this one.

You rarely will have unanimous support when picking the morally superior side of a controversial topic. If you did, it wouldn't be a controversial topic. 

Target is proving this.

They wouldn't have to if people weren't so damn confused about their Sex and creating a new generation that is just outright confused about almost everything.....


I feel sad that children at such as young age are being converted by their parents, when they have no idea the long term consequences of the surgery (ability to reproduce). That has got to be depressing later in life for the simple fact that they never had a real choice in the matter. Seriously, growing up dreaming of having a family some day, only to discover that you can't reproduce. I know a few women that were barren and they had a hard time dealing with that emotion and still do.

If you were talking about religion in the bold parts I'd agree.  

But in all seriousness is this "parents forcing a new sex on their children" a nationwide epidemic?  Or just an isolated case?

If the child wants to wear a dress, who cares?  If the parents demand he have surgery because of it I'd feel like a little more intervention was needed.

Except, they aren't confused about their sex. But that is the biggest issue in all of this. People are making judgements based on ignorance.

Of course they are confused about their sex; as it doesn't match the gender they identify with. I do agree ignorance is an issue.

NC is considering passing legislation outlawing any answer which isn't straight.

I would argue they are not confused about their sex. Sex is one thing, gender is another. Them not matching does not equate to confusion about their sex, or confusion at all, really. Claiming it is confusion is very presumptive. There may be confusion for some, but being trans does not in itself equate to being confused.

Glad you see the problem.
