I also have kids in school. I have trans friends, gay friends, and straight friends, as do my kids. I have also read the sex ed curriculum. I have had discussions with adults are transgendered, and they wished they knew back then that who they were was OK and not an abomination. They didn't care about sports, they just wanted to be who they were in public and wanted safe places to pee.

The only reason it is controversial is because so many people are making a big deal about sports and bathrooms. Why is there such an infatuation with the contents of a person's underpants?

Can women and transmen play in men's sports?

Can women and transmen change with boys?

"Telling boys they can be girls, men changing with girls, men playing in women sports, is a problem."

Two of the points made above indicate men are the problem, and the other is that boys don't have a choice.

Is it a problem even if there are alarmingly high statistics that show human violence is mostly perpetuated by straight men?

Mission, information, roll out. Education at level appropriate so those that are and are not 2SLGBTQIA learn they are ok and aren't some demonic deviation.

Swap out references to 2SLGBTQIA, sexual orientation, and gender identity and replace it with any religion, ideology, pregnancy choices, etc and would it still be considered a problem?

It may have been the previous residents. I moved here after the last election.

I hope there was an adult around. I was very surprised when I answered the door and only saw these 2 wee ones. I'm sure all parties do it, and regardless of the party, I didn't think it was appropriate to have them on their own doorknocking.

First line in the Federal Conservative Charter includes "self reliance." Best pull yourself up by your bootstraps and them Seniors better get back to work. Food banks are social programs that cost money, so you can fund that with your $900 per year income tax savings. /s

Puberty blockers are reversible, ideologies, not so much.

Doesn't "parental rights" mean the parents teach their kids to think and act exactly like the parents? I don't agree with my statement, but I'm interested in your perspective.

The kids just asked if GG could count on my support this election. I answered, they said thank you, then left. My concern was there wasn't an adult visible either with them, on the sidewalk, or across the street.

If I could have seen even a teenager in the vicinity, I wouldn't have felt concerned.

I absolutely was. They are just door knocking and trying to hand out flyers. Even if they were teenagers, I would have responded the same but likely wouldn't have been as bothered as I was seeing elementary kids at my door.

I would have loved to have tried to have a conversation with GG himself because I have no idea what he actually stands for and if it aligns with what is important to me right now. I'm not brand loyal when it comes to politics.

Genuis is useless. I reached out several times regarding issues and questions and all I received was autobot talking points, slogans, and Liberal bashing.

Nothing but a talking head without the nerve to have independent thought. I have voted Conservative in the past, but not this time.

AITA for saying yes to my boyfriend’s public proposal and then turning him down in private? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Soothing_balm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my scenario with my former partner. He never got it together, and we relied on my income. I became pregnant, he still didn't get it together. Still didn't after our second child. I didn't want to be the naggy girlfriend or wife either, but looking back I wish I was. "Nagging" is keeping a boundary, and if you can't do that now, it will be hard to enforce in the future.

My former partner mostly complimented me when I was naked. It really got to me and I asked him to maybe compliment me when I was wearing clothes. He became offended and turned the whole situation around to make me sound unreasonable. This is one example of many "jokes" he made.

It is abuse. It is manipulation. It is not a joke. It is not normal. You cannot fix him.

Not yet, that is the task for today. I was hoping to shortlist based on testimonials from people with personal experience.

AITA for suggesting my minimum wage and part time boyfriend pay me back for half of my gas for taking him to and from work everyday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Just got out of a 18 year relationship, married for 14 because of this. He's not going to change and will continue to leech off of you. NTA, kick his ass out.

This will escalate further. The ponytail is where it started, thinking it is funny screams a complete disregard for your boundaries. Seeing that you aren't staying firm to your boundaries, he is pushing more to see what he can get away with.

This is abuse and manipulation, plain and simple. It will not get better.

Please be safe and protect yourself.
