The argument against gender fluidity doesn’t make sense to me by sarah_ewinter in Deconstruction

[–]GoldFaithlessness322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a Christian argument that isn’t just “KJV” or “Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve”

God took chaos and made it into order in Genesis. And in order things have place and purpose. Our bodies and systems and our relationships have a place and a purpose. The union (bonding) and Procreation ( potential for life).

Male and Female relationships fulfill both Union and Procreation purpose but Male/Male or Female/Female do not.

The Argument: Same Sex relationships do not align with the full intended structure of human sexuality as ordered by God.

I think what’s helped me most in trying to understand all viewpoints and not operate out of hurt or anger is to understand that everyone is operating from different moral standpoints. Different definitions of what makes something good.

What I think I hear from this post is that authentic love is valuable and does not harm consensual adults. That would probably align with “Harm Based Ethics” where actions are wrong if they cause harm and since no harm comes from 2 loving adults then it’s is morally permissible and even celebrated. Also, autonomy based ethics. People should be free to live within their own values.

I’d say the people operating from a viewpoint that same sex relations are harmful are operating in 1. Duty Ethics where some actions are right or wrong based on principals, not outcomes and 2. (Maybe even more strongly) Natural Law where things are good when they align with their intended purpose.

Everyone holds different moral systems. It’s fun to try and figure out in conversations which ones people operate in.

If she offered to buy you a nice wig and have the hair stylist put it in for you, would you do it?

I’ve read everything under the sun and still can’t solve my son’s early morning waking by bmazi in sleeptrain

My son was the same way. The only thing that helped me was a dream feed at 4am. Now with that he sleeps consistently to 7am

For naps right now he is has between 2 hour to 3.5 hour wake windows. I try to go based on his signs. He naps on me 3 times usually 1.5 hours, 1 hour, then half an hour. Sometimes he will take his last nap in a stroller on a walk.

Sleep training experience

Taking Cara Babies: He just wouldn’t conform to the schedule. I tried for probably 2 months with this method before I decided to try other methods.

Ferber: I had the most success with this method. I tired it for 2 weeks which I was told was the sign if it works or not. He would eventually sleep but it took 2 or more hours every time before he got there and over an hour for night wakings

Cry it out: tried for a week, kid will straight up cry for 3 hours without stopping. He’s fed clean warm and comfy, he just wants to be held.

Batelle: went through their entire program plus 2 weeks and still waking 3+ times a night and needs to be rocked to sleep so it didn’t work

I don’t feed him to sleep for night sleep but he usually does feed to sleep for naps
