Twelve milkmen is theoretically possible. Thirteen is silly.

Obviously the bill is horrible, but does anyone think that the government will stop increasing its warrantless spying if the bill gets voted down?

You could try a homemade sex tape. If it gets leaked you could become rich and famous like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.

Everyone should read the Plastics Paradox. It's good to be well informed.

This doesn't work. I've tried it several times. There's no difference between having a wooden spoon on tge pot or a metal spatula. It just doesn't work.

Next it's going to start demanding rights and food stamps.

It says "Video Not Found".

They do.

I know nothing of her politics. I was just messing around one day on an AI site and came up with the pic. Nobody could tell it was her anyway because it was an AI rendering.

No! I'm trying to avoid ideology and find practicality. I'm looking for a community of family members that have dealt with this, so I can have an honest discussion. Nonody here knows anything about my child except the gender dysphoria that I mentioned, yet so many are telling me what I need to do and what my motives are.

I'm looking for the exact opposite of what I'm finding here. There is no " one size fits all" approach because everyone is different. I'd like to be able to talk to family members and find ones whose child has had other similar issues and find out what has and hasn't helped.

I'm looking for a community of family members, more in the vane of Alanon. As you can see from the comments people are either accusing me of being dishonest, or telling me just to affirm.

I am apposed to affirming, but I'm not opposed to being proven wrong. What u would like to do is have a discussion with families who have dealt with this and discuss what was successful and what wasn't.

The people telling me to "love", "accept", or "affirm" know nothing of my child and their issues outside of the gender dysphoria. They are just projecting their macro ideas of gender onto my micro situation.

Anyone who has a "one size fits all" approach is not worth listening to, in my opinion. I'd like to talk to family members of children with gender dysphoria and find the commonalities between their child and mine, and find out what has worked and what hasn't.

We've done that, and all I get is just them pushing them more forward than they even want. I'm looking for a different place that is more focused on healing (and I mean that for both my child, and for my family) rather than just pushing the "in" thing.

My child has other issues and I believe that this medical facility is just ignoring them and trying to push their gender dysphoria forward without regard to the other, underlying issues.

I know it's a political hot potato, and the macro seems to outweigh the micro. People have their ideas they want to push, but I'm looking for people who have found solutions rather than trying to push their agenda.

That site wants you to register. I'm really looking for an anonymous community, on Lemmy or possibly somewhere else, where people are free to discuss successes and failures in their own families without the fear of people bringing politics into it and trying to accuse them of hate. I've already gotten plenty of that with this post, and it's very discouraging.
