OT "I'm Dealing With A Few Transgender Issues"

Put on the Wiggles or Coco Melon and just go on auto pilot!

 

So, you don't think the teacher could have called a parent/teacher conference as to discuss the situation?

 

Of course taxpayers pay for public schools. Some taxpayers oppose don't say gay. Some taxpayers are gay. But one bigot complains and teacher has committed a crime.

Every LGBTQ organization, even most pro corporate, vehemently opposes don't say gay bill. But I guess we are too stupid to know it's really a good thing. Just like women are too stupid to know what pregnancy is without a man explaining it. And Black people are too stupid to understand there is no such thing as systemic racism. Jews are too stupid to know we can discuss the Nazi Holocaust without it being unpleasant. Hell, we aren't even Christians.

Good thing we have straight white cisgender Christian men to set us all ... straight.

 

You missed my answer. She has every right to honestly answer the direct question without any exterior ramifications otherwise. That said, I'd also suggest she set up a parent/teacher conference to further discuss the matter. I believe these are topics that might necessitate that.

 

I'm just answering the questions, sis.

 

After targeting abortion, gays, and transgenders, red state legislatures have a new crusade on tap.

Under this proposed law sex in the "reverse cowgirl" position will be illegal. The sponsers defended this highly intrusive bill by arguing "you don't turn your back on family!"

 

Why spend any money at all? I feel like all we need to do is start teaching kids about how fucking expensive it is to raise kids. Done and done.

"Listen here Johnny, it costs $1800 a month to send my kid to daycare. Do you happen to have an extra $1800 laying around? I didn't think so. Think of how many video games you could buy with $1800. Go buy some video games and keep it in your pants son!"

 

Kids aren't thinking of how expensive kids are when they're horny. That's trying to set up an argument for abstinence, and that's been shown not to work. Telling them no doesn't work. Keeping them safe and knowledgeable does.

 

Hmm.... or I'm just not as funny as I hoped.

 

We just need to give them free condoms that make a "cha ching" sound every time they thrust!

 

I gotta say I feel pretty disappointed; it doesn't really matter how eloquent or thorough an explanation is, how vulnerable or personal a plea for change is, ultimately, the same people you were trying to convince just smile, shake their head, and go right back to what they were doing before. Only now they get to feel like they made a fun new friend in the process.

I don't know what I expected.

 

I can’t tell if I’m one of those people who disappoint you.

 

Not that I can remember. I guess it depends on what you plan to do with the power you wield. Only you know your heart.
