The LGBT brownshirts at it again

Regardless of the matter at hand, in this case transgender, I am also confused about parental power and responsibility. There are so many laws that can get a parent in serious trouble with legal and financial penalty. One for instance here in PA is children and school attendance. Then in the next breath you are told you have no right to guide and make decisions as you steer your kids toward their 18th birthdays.

Great custody decision today.

I can't make up my mind whether this kids transitioning to another gender is a humane option for people who are suffering or some trendy bullshit, or both. Or something else.

I think many including experts of some sort are equally confused as you. Good thing these big decisions are being made based on something.

This seems like the right decision. Hopefully those parents eventually realize their religious opinions shouldn't be more important to them than their 17 year old.

Yup!

Do you feel you have the right to instill religious values in your minor child?

When he/she is 18 it will all be a mute point. So just wait it out.

Not at the expense of their health and well-being. That should always be priority #1.

You shouldn't be allowed to do those things until you are 18. If you want to dress a certain way or go by a different name that's perfectly fine. Hormone therapy or sex changes should not be allowed for a minor.

Terrible decision.

This will all be fine once we decide 16 is the age of adulthood.

Goddamn right I do. If I had to go to CCD every fucking Saturday, so does my son!

And the best religious value I look forward to imparting on my 10 month old is this: gathering our shit so we can beeline it the hell out of Dodge after accepting the body of Christ! Screw waiting for mass to actually end. I got places to be and bad decisions to make.

Yeah, that last 6-7 minutes is a killer. I mean, I used to be kind of euphoric as I knelt there--Mass is over! One week before I have to return!--but still, it's less denouement and more akin to lying beside a woman who you just nailed and who you suddenly are no longer attracted to. You feel like you've accomplished something and you're satisfied, but you just want out.

You post a lot more about the White Sox than you realize.

I will point this out and ask you one more time; who ya crappin? viewtopic.php?f=100&t=110945#p2906303

Yes. But sometimes your 17 year old leaves you because of them and you have to deal with that. Hopefully they accept it one day.

Yeah, we had this angry priest who used to call out parishioners who would leave early. He also used to stop mass during the middle of songs because our congregation would not sing and would not start up again until more people were singing. The first time I went to a protestant mass I saw everyone singing. I asked my dad why our church doesn't sing. He said Catholics don't sing.

Way, way, WAY too reasonable a response, especially at that time of night/day.

We did have one priest who rebuked you if you left early. People avoided his Masses.

There is nothing more depressing than the Catholic Mass, particularly one without music and when people are reciting prayers. "We believe in one God, the Father and the Almighty . . ." Just an awful-sounding noise, devoid of any emotion or any touches of humanity or joy or, for that matter, faith. It sounds like the incantation at an exceptionally boring post-apocalyptic ritual.

Plus, you're thirsty as hell in Mass and the chicks are hot. I thought about God like three times from the ages of 12-17. Usually, I was thinking about Pepsi and was checking out whatever women were standing in front of me.

I have great memories as a little boy with Fr. McFeely. He used to tickle me and make me laugh.

This isn't about me. It's about you continuing to be a hypocrite.

Be a Cubs meatball, that's fine. But expect to get called out on your bullshit when you post things like "Cubbie on the brain" and then turn around and make posts like the one I linked about, or the Sox ring you posted in reply to good dolphin.

Yup.

This is part of the reason why we have Trump for six more years.

Do I have that right?
