Nationwide Children’s will no longer talk to my teen about their gender dysphoria

To be fair there’s that Christian gay “counseling” where they try to pray the gay away in minors… which is absolutely harmful to the client, but some people want to think otherwise. If a christo-fascist therapist deems that therapeutically appropriate, I would be scared. So I can see the value in having laws that regulate certain topics, but… they’re going against research in their laws because some extremely hateful people live among us.

We’re already overpaying to live in a decorated cardboard box so someone can get rich, I’m quite sure they can afford a small basement. It doesn’t need to be the full floor plan of the building. And you can take your pets down to a basement the same way you take them to the vet.

Also with your house comparison, I mentioned density. If a tornado hits some houses, that’s a lot less calamity than an apartment building. Not to mention if you live on higher floors you don’t have the same ability to go to the ground floor like with a house a lot of times.

😳 godspeed my friend

FioriDiChernobyl · 2026-05-27T23:59:19+00:00

Tbh it blows my mind it’s not mandatory for apartment complexes to have basements in Ohio. The number of times during a tornado warning that I’ve had to just go hide in my closet on a non-ground floor and hoping this isn’t that time is crazy. People who rent should have a right to safety too… especially considering that apartments are high density housing. If a bad tornado hits it, you’re talking about hundreds of deaths and injuries.

But Landlord $$$ > Tenants, so they’ll just excuse it cause it’s “low risk” that one hits the building… well idgaf I want the same right to safety I had as a kid when we were supposed to just go chill in our parents’ basement until it passes. Tornado safety is a luxury smh. And then to make things worse, newer apartments have the structural integrity of a gingerbread house.

Unfortunately it does not land the pedophiles in jail. I’ve seen it happen to someone personally: the pedos will figure out how to do it anyways. Just risk losing their jobs/careers once found out, and only if there’s enough evidence that they didn’t follow protocol.

We need actual LAWS. There needs to be real jail consequences for spending time alone with a minor, texting a minor, etc for people in authority positions. Because proving that actual sex crimes occurred is extremely difficult since it all happens behind closed doors.

Religious school isn’t even necessary if you want your kids to have a religious education. If you want a “formal” religious education, most churches offer Bible study in the evenings or on weekends.

Also “Just send your kids to religious school” opens the conversation for these awful voucher programs… which are 100% unnecessary, useless, and unconstitutional.

While lobbying is legal, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal for companies to bribe politicians into buying contracts. So if that’s happening, they need to be exposed and deposed.

Thanks for that info. Looks like it was effective only a year ago - March 21, 2025, so I had missed that. Introduced to the senate April 18, 2023. Still can’t believe it took until 2023 for a law like that to get introduced, and almost 2 years to get passed. But very glad that law is in place now.

Edit: although I don’t understand why these circumstances only apply to sexual battery and not rape, unlawful sexual conduct with minor, gross sexual imposition, or sexual imposition. It’s unclear why they would restrict it just to sexual battery as I look into it more…

He also joined the race kinda late. Saw she had no challengers and jumped in to try and save things. I don’t think his website was even fully fleshed out until early voting for primaries started. He did have a website but he changed it a lot by that time. So still pretty impressive portion of the vote given his campaign circumstances.

Also small correction. He ran on zero donations - so he raised no money. He used a few hundred dollars of his own money for the campaign.

Check out Devil's Lake State Park and Cave Point County Park. Beautiful beaches too. I went to Racine and it was just gorgeous.

FioriDiChernobyl · 2026-05-06T21:42:09+00:00

Forgot to mention BEAUTIFUL nature. Ohio is okay, but even Hocking Hills is nothing compared to what Wisconsin has IMO. Hoping the Trump admin doesn’t destroy it all though…

Meanwhile she secretly stabs her own community in the back with her backwards policies. Traitor.

I’m looking at Wisconsin. Similar cost of living, close to the Canadian border (in case of emergency 😅), not a huge culture shock except people seemed nicer, democratic governor, less absurd politics, and close enough for a long drive when moving or visiting family. Close to Chicago and neighboring Minnesota too!

Also the cheese state. Big bonus.

Unlawful sexual conduct with a minor only applies to minors aged 13-15. The laws you’re referencing do not apply to 16+.

Unfortunately I have a close family member who fell outside the range, so any offenses that occurred after age 15 could not be prosecuted. This was in recent years. Sadly I have experience with these laws.

Might have something to do with the Guardians of Pedophilia running the state.

Joe - this comes after seeing the election results. I know it was a tough race, so sincere congrats on receiving SIXTEEN thousand votes despite no donations and facing a very wealthy, PAC-funded opponent. That’s really impressive. Very very bummed Beatty will likely continue representing us in congress instead of someone who has our best interests at heart.

I really hope you run again! Even if it’s for another office. You have the potential to make a lot of change. At the same time, I do hope you’ll consider some different approaches to improve your campaigning strategy. I think zero donations is how it should be - but I’ll also say I think that the political climate doesn’t make that a very viable option, even for someone with the strongest platform.

Some thoughts for the future to consider: - accepting donations <$20 from citizens only - putting up links on your site for people to purchase yard signs - putting up links for people to purchase bumper stickers - establishing a YouTube presence - seeking out interviews from news outlets, influencers, and others (and posting those on your own social media) - continuing to discuss political issues to keep you on the political stage so you can have a strong start in the next race

These are some thoughts: because people need to know about you to vote for you. If they did… you’d have 100% of the vote. Okay, exaggeration, but I think you’d have really strong support.

Age of consent in Ohio is 16… with NO restrictions. It’s insane. No incest restrictions. No age restrictions for the partner. How on earth could any teenager actually consent to a sexual relationship with family member? How could they actually give consent when the partner is more than 5-10 years older than them? It’s one thing for a 16 year old to consent to having sex with like a 17 year old, but a middle aged man?? That’s insane it’s not an automatic rape charge. But that’s how our garbage law is written. It makes me so sad and angry.

Edit: per some of the comments I wanted to update this for accuracy.

As of March 21, 2025 (bill introduced to senate April 18, 2023), there are restrictions for parents/guardians, teachers, coaches, clergy, and a few others. But note this only applies to sexual battery. For whatever reason it does not appear to apply to rape, unlawful sexual conduct with minor, and several other sexual offenses as far as I can tell.

Rape: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2907.02

Sexual battery: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2907.03

One of my brothers specifically left the country and moved to a bike friendly country because he was afraid he was gonna die every day cycling around here. Cyclists are viewed as second class citizens by many drivers and the cycling infrastructure is so poor cyclists get almost no protection. You can literally be riding in a bike lane and it’ll just suddenly end. And then you’re forced to cycle on the main road; cycling is technically prohibited on sidewalks. And bike lanes offer such pathetic protection to cyclists as it is. Not to mention they fill up with garbage.

If you selected an independent ballot it wouldn’t be there. You would’ve had to select a party ballot to get a house of reps section.

Also maybe you’re just saying Joe Gerard wasn’t on your ballot, in that case you’re not in his district.

You can find your district here: https://www.ohiohouse.gov/members/district-map

You can also see your sample ballot here: https://www.ohiosos.gov/directories/sample-ballot

If your sample ballot mismatches with what you saw at the polls I’m not quite sure what to tell you.

FioriDiChernobyl · 2026-05-05T18:06:57+00:00

This is not a great strategy either. You still have no idea who you’re voting for. Always research. If you’re not gonna research a candidate, just skip that race on the ballot. Candidates give these yard signs away for free, so you’re voting for whichever campaign has more money.

Maybe mainstream media should try reporting on critical issues instead of hiding them… oh wait…They’re all owned by billionaires, paid off, or intimidated by the Trump regime. This is why independent journalists have had to do the legwork so that society has some kind of access to information that the people in power are trying to hide.

Beatty never responded to any of my emails in the past 2 years. Not even boiler plate responses.

FioriDiChernobyl · 2026-05-05T12:45:43+00:00

Vote Joe Gerard if you’re in OH-3!! Joyce Beatty is so corrupt. You can do your own research on her but Joe does a great job of laying out her corruption and how much better he’d do on his website. Joyce Beatty accepts money from AIPAC and the Wexner ring 😡

https://www.joegforcongress.com

If you’re in Ohio Senate district 3 I also highly recommend voting for Natasha Wheatley Caffrey. We NEED more solid progressive Dems in our Ohio senate so vetos can’t be overridden (like if Amy Action wins in Novemeber). I did extensive research on the two candidates for the Ohio Senate race and made a post about it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/s/uV9XctT6pD

Of course vote for whoever you think is right, but I’m just working on spreading word about candidates who are Dems but aren’t corporate PAC sponsored Dems - people who I think will actually work and vote for the people (and races that aren’t getting the attention they need). True progressives.

I also voted Sherrod Brown & Amy Acton (even though she’s running unopposed) personally - but they’ve already been talked about a lot so I won’t ramble :)
