A bachelor's degree is a ticket into a lot of jobs, no matter what is in. That doesn't mean you have to go to an expensive school to get one.

Reminds me of that designing a stop sign video.

I know several LGBT youth because my oldest has been in that world for years. The religious families I know are not the ones who put their child at most risk, oddly. They aren't always happy about it, but none of them have threatened or hurt their children. Of the ones I know, three are in real danger. Two of those families aren't religious and one is not active in their faith.

I just think we should be careful about slinging around accusations that aren't grounded in facts. It leads more children to suicidal behavior because they assume from what people say that their parents' faith means they won't be accepted.

Going to the homeless shelters preselects for kids that have issues with their families. That doesn't say anything about the rates or the likelihood of any given family being a danger.

Suicide isn't murder, however unfortunate it is.

So... one example?

Get out of here with that. Utah is solidly in the middle of the pack for child homelessness. California is biggest per capita, four times the rate of Utah. Spreading misinformation doesn't help anyone. https://homelesslaw.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/2021StateIndexReport.pdf

"It's not uncommon for a trans person to be murdered by a parent..." could you share news stories about this? It would be helpful to have facts, but I've not seen any myself.

I have a trans child, and they were terrified to tell me, but not because of anything I did. They ended up coming out to me multiple times because I didn't react the way they were told to expect.

They have plenty of trans friends whose lives would be much worse if their parents knew. I don't think any school has the right to reveal that kind of information before a kid is ready.

Heck, I'm in my 40s and don't feel like an adult much of the time. Especially when I think about my parents passing.

Anyone who wants to get organized, try https://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/

It's a great program that helps you set up a pattern for yourself a little at a time.

And if you don't want to do a program like that, here's a good guide: https://grkids.com/realistic-cleaning-schedule-download/

It's like when kids make up a ridiculous nickname for you in grade school, but it sticks and you end up using it on your business cards.

Eh, a lot of people get butthurt and downvote when reality doesn't match their armchair ideals. It's more of a comment on them and their ability to learn than on the comments they downvoted.

Mine is a jolly good lot of fun as I fend off attacks with well-coined analogies.

No, half the population is being judged on their statistical likelihood to commit violence. Their physical makeup is only part of that. Most of it is a cultural entitlement, as evidenced by so many on here getting butthurt that people might be afraid of them because of their life experiences.

The difference is that men do.

Women tend to experience violence from men at a much higher rate than from guns not held by men.

As an older woman, I can testify that we totally won the game. We're out loving life while everyone else you mentioned lives in a strange combination of fear, avarice, and disappointment.

The only people who think that way are exactly like this guy. Entitled.

Thank you for this. If it wasn't for one of the cops who responded to my 911 call, I'd still not realize I was being abused.

It's the men who complain about women picking bad guys who are the guys who mask their controlling behavior in "niceness."

That's what got me. I thought he was a good guy, but he was just an MRA idiot.

I always want to ask, "so the only reason you're a straight man is because you played with GI Joe?"

Because that would explain a lot about why you protest so strongly.
