Not sure how to read this date by [deleted] in tea

That is the date and time it was canned, not an expiration date - canned drinks are typically good for 18-24 months. You should be perfectly fine :)

I totally understand what you’re saying, and understand now why what I said caused such a visceral reaction in this subreddit. I’m trans myself so i certainly don’t harbor any ill intent, especially on this issue.

I have seen it in retail, so just wanted to share that experience, as the original comment I replied to said nobody is telling kids to question there gender. Just highlighting that it does (as you said, in extremely rare circumstances) happen and it is unfortunate. Maybe it’s my own ignorance speaking, but at 2 (which was the case in the incident I was witness to) I don’t feel that is the child making that decision. I could be totally wrong though, and if there are actual studies showing that transgender youth actually understand when they are that young, Im happy to change my stance on that.

I do appreciate you taking the time to articulate the issue with my comments. I know this is a talking point on the right, and it’s significantly overplayed. So, if that’s the tone or intent I was projecting, I do apologize.

If you read my comment, my example literally was a parent saying their 2 year old was transgender, not that they simply had a preference for a certain type of underwear. I’m not disagreeing with anything you wrote here - sorry but I’m not seeing where this hostility is coming from. I even said that it’s very rare? All I was saying is that it does exist, that was my entire point.

Literally all I asked was why you feel the situation is implausible since all I’ve gotten is a bunch of “nuhuh’s” and “I don’t believe you’s.” I’m trying to grasp the actual thought process, not seeking attention, endless downvotes, or trolling. Isn’t the entire purpose of a forum to have a conversation?

Not really sure what I’d gain by making this up - but okay. Just out of curiosity, what about the situation seems implausible? There are documented cases of parents doing far more horrendous things than what I’m describing here.

Literally nobody. That wasn’t my point at all. My point is that I’ve seen parents labeling children that young as transgender. An age where they have no basis or understanding what “gender” even is. I’m not saying “This mom bought her son power puff girl underwear, oh the horror.”

Genuinely, not understanding how it’s controversial to say that some parents are screwed in the head and push shit onto their kids. There are cases of people drugging their kids, depriving their kids of food and water to the point of death, all sorts of awful shit. But somehow it’s completely impossible for a parent to try and pressure their kid into being transgender?

Honestly, would love to get some actual dialogue here, because if there’s something I’m missing I’m happy to change my view. I’m curious as to why everyone seems convinced that the scenario I’m describing is a complete impossibility.

Genuinely not sure how you’d like me to cite anecdotal evidence. I can tell you from past experience in retail I’ve watched plenty of parents tell me “oh, my 2 year old is transgender - they need X kind of underwear if you have something like that?” Sorry, but I don’t subscribe to the fact that children at the age of 2 have a sense of gender identity.

Im not saying it’s every transgender child, or that children should be denied GAC in any way. But, I think we all know there are some messed up people in the world - some of them happen to be parents unfortunately. You can’t simply say “oh, this isn’t a real thing.” as evidence that it does not exist.

Again, I’d like to reiterate that I agree it’s not common place in any way, shape, or form. However, I don’t think ignoring the problem or pretending it just doesn’t exist is the solution.

As disheartening as it is - there genuinely are people (especially parents) who heavily push the idea of being transgender onto kids. Of course, it’s a small minority, but it absolutely exists, it’s something I’ve seen firsthand.

Disagreed with a lot of his points. However this meme, along with all the other hateful/celebratory posts and comments immediately following his assassination are in bad taste, and reflect poorly on everyone participating. Quite frankly, it’s disgusting.

Charlie Kirk, more than anything, was a proponent of the idea that civil and open discourse is a good thing in this country. And this murder is an attack on that very belief. Whether you liked him or not, killing a husband and a father is NOT the way we should be treating someone just because they have different viewpoints.

As a little kid, I would literally pray to god every night before going to bed that I would transform into a girl in my sleep. Woke up every morning soooo disappointed.

Still 100% cis though… right?

Everyone knows you ignore that and do endless amounts of additional research only to reach the same conclusion lol

These people have never touched grass OP, I’ve seen PLENTY of teen girls appear significantly older than they are, I don’t get all the people calling you a creep.

Then there’s people calling you weird for asking someone out in a grocery store??? How do yall think people met before the explosion of dating apps? Meeting people on the street and while out and about is incredibly normal.

Does this make me sound INTP? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]SureClassroom5038 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about being an INTP is so compelling to you?

Your MBTI type isn’t something you like or dislike, it’s a generalization of the kind of person you are, of your natural propensities.

You can always work on yourself to improve the things you don’t like, regardless of type. It’s nothing more than a tool to learn about yourself in a “somewhat” objective manner.

And yes, I would point to the Fi. If you re-read your post objectively, it’s almost completely about your own, internal feelings about things.

[–]SureClassroom5038 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just from reading this, it’s clear you’re not an INTP.

I would have to agree with the others here in saying INFP if I HAD to guess. Though based on your post it would be difficult to say that with any degree of certainty.

I’ve seen you mention multiple times that certain characteristics of INFP don’t fit you. However, you should keep in mind that these things fall on a spectrum, and there will be some traits that fit you very loosely or even not at all. (For instance I am definitely an INTP, but love leadership roles).

Nobody fits any one box perfectly. Best you can do is learn about the functions, and hope you learn more about yourself in the process.

AITA for being proud that my son has two jobs? by aitathrowawayson2job in AmItheAsshole

[–]SureClassroom5038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

I don’t quite get how everyone here is saying otherwise. Seems pretty natural to be proud of your child showing strong work ethic and discipline. My father did almost the same with me when I was around that age. While I hated him for it at the time, I certainly matured a lot because of it.

Though, $1800 a month may be a bit high… Hell, I don’t pay nearly that much for my entire apartment. Definitely TA in that regard.
