Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item? If not, I'm rather confused. -

Guess I won't post this then. -

Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology. -

Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig. I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions. One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others. One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro. A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages. Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children. A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else. I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations. What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office. Why? Just because his views are different, or even offensive? Who makes that determination? Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?" Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record. -

@Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do. I don't take it well if I get scolded. Either I sulk or I get nippish. We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday. Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers. GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids. Her eldest starts school this fall. Amazing how time flies... -

Reminds me of elementary school when a kid yanked my chair as I was taking a seat. I told him to "go suck an egg" and we both got sent to the principals office. I was like, "tf did I do to deserve that?" -

Firstly, it's nice to hear that your other half is now open to you living as you are! Secondly, things I have noticed, having started shots just before the New Year: Tears do come much more easily I am far more tender with my wife and I like to snuggle more I have noticed anxiety has an increased effect on me I am on a weekly injection, so when I get near my next shot I have noticed feeling a little emotionally "blah" After shots I am much more energetic and bubbly Otherwise, I wouldn't say I've been on any kind of roller coaster of emotion and I'm far from unstable. So take heart and congratulations! -

Three reprimands in a certain time frame? It seems like they should drop off the calendar after a period of time. How long can they hold a reprimand on the calendar? Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

Congratulations on getting the go ahead with HRT. I'm so ready for my wife to drop her opposition. As for the mood swings... I would look forward to them myself. Hugs, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

Three reprimands and they suspend attendance for a couple weeks. -
By Mmindy · Posted
Good for the other participant. What's involved in a reprimand? At our age, what are they going to do? Withhold snacks... @BirdieI'm sorry you have to put up with such discrimination's. I'm proud that you're standing up for yourself. Hugs, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

Associating LGBTQIA+ with pedophilia or "grooming" is a conspiracy theory as old as the study of psychiatry (mid-19th century) when early "scientists" theorized that homosexuality was caused by childhood trauma of having been molested by older men. Some of us have moved on and become educated since those days, but conspiracy theories have an uncanny staying power...the "power" of ignorance, including the titillation of scandal. There is some psychology about people being attracted to outrage and fear. Life is naturally dynamic and uncertain. Unless you have developed a transcendent mastermind, most people have some level of discomfort with that. Therefore, it is weirdly comforting to target a particular thing as a threat and to make a big fuss about it, whether or not it has any credence. And it is comforting to be one among a mass who are equally outraged about a thing, whether or not the thing is real. It is also boosts the ego to speak with vehement "authority" about a thing that is a known trigger for the masses. Like Vicky said, Dunning-Kruger Effect. However prominent a movement there is or not of pedophiles claiming that their perversion is a sexuality (I have heard of that, but never as it being a major influence), it is the case that much of the viral spread of disinformation associating LBGTQIA+ with pedophilia is due to online trolls. Surely, there are loads of 'em. But here's just one reported story. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/posing-gay-men-twitter-troll-goes-viral-attempts-falsely-tie-n954721
