This whole thing is so ridiculous. I find it highly unlikely that a child that young thinks that it should be a member of the opposite gender. This is the parent's doing.
"it"? disgusting.
i'm pretty sure that most ex-marines don't go about trying to make their boys into girls. nor do their spouses. or, for that matter, most accountants, construction workers, ballet dancers, telephone line repair workers, or SAHMs. you know, since being transgendered is kinda a rough life.
Maybe not "most" but it seems "some" do. Or at least these parents.

Can we stop acting as if she wants to permanently alter her body or hormones?
She currently self identifies as female. So what? Maybe she won't in a few years. Maybe she will. Using the bathroom where girls use the bathroom does not change anything about who she is or who she will be as a person.
Also hard side eye over comparing this to a mental illness.
Harder side eye to the school.
I would not be okay with my daughter using the same bathroom as this child. Boy parts belong in the boy's bathroom, not in the girl's bathroom.
We tested the home we just bought for radon. The levels were around 6 I believe. We required the sellers to install a mitigation system, which they did, no questions asked. Our realtor said they were not able to sell the home as is now that they knew the levels of radon and that if we were to walk away that they would have to disclose, upfront, the radon levels to any other interested parties. It worked out, the system was installed and the levels are now around 2. The system was around $1000 to install.
The research that I found said that one house could have high levels of radon and the neighboring house could have low levels. Just kind of a random thing. States that have more granite in the soil are more prone to have houses with radon in them because granite releases radon into the soil/air. Granite is not the only cause, however.
None of these bother me. Probably because I'm not Christian so I'm not trying to defend my own identity. I can understand Christians of one type to not want to be grouped with those of another, which is how I read this post.
One thing I'd love for people to stop saying, though, is love the sinner not the sin. I've heard that shit since college, and it makes me so mad.
This article is very slanted. Just like you don't like people telling your what to believe you (or the author) shouldn't be telling others what not to believe.
I read it as him telling the conservative, evangelical sects... the soozys, if you will... to sit down and shut it because you're making the rest of us look bad.
I hate it when religion and money mixes. That is not what faith and church should be about. Sorry that is what they are making it about for your family.
Yes, it is possible. I have friends who disagree with my views on a few issues. We just don't talk about those things or we choose to live and let live.
Our experience with our home warrenty company has been terrible. Our furnace broke 8 days after we bought the house. They claimed it was not working when we bought the house. It clearly was. In the event that we ever move and purchase a new home we will not be purchasing the warrenty, nor will we be renewing this one. Such a scam.
Sounds like you for sure don't want to marry Dave, but rather just want to keep him around until Bob is ready to get back together with you. You really should only be involved romantically with one person. I would advise you to let Dave go now and see what happens with Bob when he is out of the service. Maybe you will find someone else between now and then, maybe you won't, but it doesn't sound like you are happy with Dave or that you have common goals and wishes for your future together.
It's a little cold and heartless to help the dog but not the parents, but I see your reasoning.
Why are you always the giantest asshole you can possibly be?
I don't think I am. I am putting my opinion out there. Yes, it looks like her parents are not responsible at all, but at the same time I value people over pets. I don't wish for the dog to suffer, but that would not really be first on my list of concerns.
