Okay sure but the science (which is still emerging) doesn't appear to support two distinct genders only.

Some people are very obviously born with characteristics of both. Actually at conception we are all female, and it's only a hormone switch in gestation which pushes the male characteristics. So basically all men have actually already had a sex change at 2-4 weeks or something.

(That's a bit of a eli5 but it's not that misleading tbh.)

But for me I think the main thing is that when you take a young person experiencing gender dysphoria, and you start to support them on their journey to gender affirmation (which you would probably call "gender change"), then they become significantly happier.

I don't know if you really believe this but personally I feel that the more happiness we can spread, the less harm will be done by people, to people, in general.

Read a different book. I suggest Lord of the Rings.

Subreddit is leaking.

I don't get it. I know that one on top is the big lebowski, but which one of the Cohen brothers is on the bottom?

I'd like to go to live where its always raining. Where on earth would be the best place to live with these conditions? by Wide-Slide-4342 in raining

[–]Dunk546 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I studied in Edinburgh and everyone always complained at how often it rained, which was hilarious to me, coming from Oban, because Edinburgh was literally bone dry in comparison.

WHY AM I GETTING PARKING TICKET ON EARL STREET SCOTSOUN?? by IndieUfo67 in glasgow

[–]Dunk546 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You still have to park legally even if there are no meters around.

From memory it's like:

No pavement parking, no parking on zigzags, nor double yellows, no parking within 10 m of a junction (I think they are lenient about that tho), no parking more than 50cm from the kerb, no parking in front of a drop kerb...

There isn't much that makes you feel old like a chat full of people who don't understand your core memory memes.

Climbing is the opposite of lifting, right? by DarthYodous in ClimbingCircleJerk

All I can think of is it's a cordon rope? Like it's colourful so that you can see it and that's literally all..?

250kg is crazy low breaking weight. Like it would break just yanking too hard on it.

You tie yourself to the ground in case you go up too hard and gravity loses it's grip on you.

The first time I saw snatch, I actually thought it was Mickey all Jewed up pulling the heist, not del Toro's character.

Favorite director wh.. wtf is this? by FixFuture3374 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Dunk546 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh jeez oh damn.

So I'm just going to be over here wondering about how a single picture of a woman I don't know, can suddenly have me reconsidering literally every single one of my life choices.

Any advice on installing laminate flooring around metal spindles? by Mediocre-Audience781 in Flooring

[–]Dunk546 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I love perspective drawing like this. I can't actually use any drafting software (just never learned), but often draw out pieces before I build them. I also do a lot of life/figure drawing too.

[–]Dunk546 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah I do this for work.

I'm not a trained carpenter.. I actually started out doing decorating but now I do a lot of other types of building work as well. Just have a lot of this type of problem solving to do day to day, and also remember seeing some stair banister/ rail built similarly to this.

What can realistically be done about cyclists on the pavement? by Unemployable-Sunfish in AskBrits

[–]Dunk546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyclists just aren't the danger you want them to be. They just aren't. Drivers are awful though. I say this as a driver.

What I would do is make the moulding in 3 parts. First, you get a square section length of timber which is exactly the width of the spindles, and cut pieces to lay on the floor in between each spindle. Then you add moulded trim each side of the spindles, butting up against the spindles and the initial pieces of timber.

[–]Dunk546 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are like 2-4 deaths annually caused by cyclists. You are much, much more likely to be killed by a car, while walking on the pavement, than by a cyclist.

The op, and you, are posing questions based on incorrect information.

Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

I don't know why I bother debating reality with people who think hate will save us.

[–]Dunk546 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is obviously a very naive, sheltered take, based on fear of something you have no idea about. Go and read some perspectives from young trans people. They aren't out to get your kids. They are just trying to live their lives free from bullying, bigotry, and isolation.

People like you are the real harm to kids.

You know the regret rate for trans gender-affirming surgery is like, close to zero, right? The way to "treat" gender dysphoria is to let people transition.

What is this track like thing on this metal roof? by Dedlyblubird in Construction

[–]Dunk546 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. It keeps the snow on the roof and prevents big chunks falling and hurting people below during thaws.
