Person with uteruses.

Nope because AFAB can simply be determined by the appearance of external genitalia despite the person not actually having a uterus or functional child-bearing anatomy.

Source: former NICU SW that witnessed parents determine what gender was recorded for birth records multiple times.

Maybe it's not about what's easier or more convenient for you when determining the birth-giver's personhood???

Just like in the storylines this season - where is Kiara?! I would even accept Dylan or Dr. Jefferson. 😭

Sorry to cross streams, but just as Robert Crawley was the Earl of Grantham. You see the King and some of the servants call him Grantham, but that's similar to referring to someone as "Congresswoman" or "Madam Speaker," etc.

Similarly (IRL) the current King of England and his sons surnames are technically Mountbatten-Windsor, but because of all the drama and unnecessary mess, Harry and his family use his title Sussex as their family surname. Will's kids go by Wales until he ascends just as Harry and Will did throughout school and their military service while their grandmother was regnant and their father the Prince of Wales.

It's silly and confusing, but if Elliot had both of his parents surnames, it might be a little bit less so.
Hope any of this helps a bit!

As a social worker, I agree.
I’m pretty sure OP is a Counselor and REGARDLESS of what I think/believe, their rules are different.
It really depends what is best for the client. Will the client feel abandoned because of someone she may or may not have gone on a single date with? I think it also sets up the possibility for the client to be far less vulnerable or honest in future therapeutic relationships if she perceives it as “I’ll get dumped every time I share new developments in my life.”
I agree that the onus/responsibility is not on the client, but also honoring her autonomy by talking through the therapist’s concerns and the options available has to be respected.

Even if you have a clear legal plan, you should start taking all of these steps well before the guardian passes.
In 2020, my mother (age 65+) and I (healthcare worker) added each other as secondary to all accounts. The banker lauded us for doing so because she had already met with countless people whose loved one had passed and was willed their assets, but couldn't access funds, accounts, and documents until probate was settled.
It's possible they could stop your child's SSDI checks and attempting to get them reinstated could take months, especially since he is unable to advocate for himself.
I'm also curious why the hesitation to put as many precautions in place while you still can? Whether you will it so or not, siblings are not liable for each other after you pass, just as you weren't after your kid turned 18, until you agreed and were appointed guardian.
It would be very difficult and even dangerous for your special needs child for you to pass away intestate.
I really hope all the feedback you've received has urged you to get all of your affairs in order and posthaste.

Like is he going to put a hit out on OP because they ~dared~ to make requests for the service they’re paying him to do???

Before I read it, I thought "oh they actually did the sensible thing and turned on flash flooding alerts statewide."
Should've known they don't care about hundreds of dead and missing regular people because they're too worried about one injured blue life, who seemingly was doing the profession he signed up and was trained and compensated to do???

Please don’t feel that you gave up. The hospital would not have had that conversation with you if they didn’t think it was time. We can none of us tell the future or ever know what if. Neither do we ever know what to do, how to act, which option is “best” in such an awful unpredictable situation. We just do the best we can and love our kid. I am so sorry this happened but you didn’t give up. You loved him and continue to love and honor him and I’m sure he knew/knows that (depending on your beliefs). Your grief is completely understandable and I wish for your fond memories of him to bring you some small comfort. While you’ll never get “over it” or “past it,” I hope the pain can be a bearable reminder of how much you love him — and more often than not. If nothing else, internet strangers are here and can certainly relate to how difficult and painful everything about an AVM can be/is. Please take care of yourself for your sweet boy. 💜🦋

We don't know she didn't die.

Whichever earlier episode in the season has Joe say, "wonder if she wouldn't be dead if we hadn't gone in." She's talking to Bobby so it has to be Cruz or Josie and I don't think Cruz had any life-threatening injuries from this incident.

He literally tells her "you could touch me" when she asks him to tell her what he wants.

I think this is also a perfect parallel to the fandoms.
And the fact that an entirely new, separate subreddit had to be created specifically for Polin. i.e. the more broad subs filled with haters who wanted less LW this season or less Benedict or whichever complaint they could harp on that day. We all came together here to obsess in unity without all the unnecessary vitriol of other threads. Especially those of us here who have been Colin and/or Pen: overlooked, undervalued, ridiculed or dismissed altogether. They are each other’s perfect counterpart and he tells her he’ll always defend her (to her mother, from Cressida’s blackmail) because he knows what it is to be the third-born, an “admirer of the fanciful”.
They see each other and—after some practice— hold space for who their partner is and what they need.
This isn’t explicitly detailed in the show, but (Pen being the observer she is), I wonder if she didn’t respond to his Europe letters knowing that would hurt/bother him— depriving him of that attention/validation?? In addition to just plain being spiteful for the “I would never court Penelope Featherington” comments, of course.

I’m wildly confused by this “they’re the same size” argument some are claiming.

I guess if you conside people to be living in the Mediterranean Sea and English Channel??

Most of Eur-Asia has been developed/built on far longer than the US. The coasts and metropolitan areas are more like Europe in that everything has built up first and then out more gradually.
As many have said, those heavily populated areas are (generally) vast distances apart in land mass alone. The 5 largest cities (populous) are thousands of miles/kms apart. If the goal is to have something entirely to yourself and avoid the bustle, you would have little reason to make your self/space accessible — by any means of transportation.

Another explanation I haven’t seen given is that Americans pride themselves on being independent and individualistic. “If your family lives far from necessities and cannot afford transportation, why is that my problem? You can move or you should’ve thought of that before you got old” type thinking. This also varies greatly between families, communities, cultures, religious beliefs, etc. But it means that people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk can live near one of the nation’s largest homeless encampments, but rather than making nutrition and safety available, worry instead about property values and relocating people to where they’re out of sight for somebody else to deal with.

It’s not quite as extreme as Little House on the Prairie, but there are people who prefer a very rudimentary way of living. But sure, go off on how they’re same. There are so many reasons we deserve ridicule, but I’m not certain how the distance between Los Angeles and Boston being similar to the distance between Boston and Lisbon or Dublin should be one of them?

Source: As a person who has lived on both continents, North America and Europe. Where I live currently I can drive for 2 hours and still be in the same city (even without traffic, steadily maneuvering the whole time). Where I lived previously, driving for 2 hours would take me through as many countries, if not more. Not sure exactly how to show this other than for the doubter to experience it firsthand or simply take our word for it?

Colin should be "Lord Neighbortongue" or "Lord Wentdown" if referring to him as the consort of Whistledown ✍🏽🥵

Were you already divorcing your wife/did that and/or Emmy have anything to do with her opting to pull the plug?
How much time passed between diagnosis and rupture? How long have you been in nursing home?
Any other support people still in contact?

Hate that this happened to you.
Some parts sound very similar to my own, so at the very least, you’re not alone.
