Off Topic What is a woke thing?

Congratulations for making yourself look even more stupid then you normally do

 

Like you say, no proper support for the child. That kind of struggle with identity is a cry for help, and no-one seems to know what to do with it.
When I supported the Therian girl I never spoke about it off my own back, and she rarely did. I just offered acceptance. I encouraged the parents to remain calm and put some boundaries in around it. I just connected and listened. She needed to feel heard and made great progress. As her self-esteem grew, her need to put emphasis on labelling her own identity lessened. She was still curious about trying out identities, but it feels like it was more in keeping with the Autism diagnosis I helped her to get.

I would define cancel culture as anyone or anything that wants to deny free speech.

I may not agree with a word @offtheline or @bradymk2 says, but I will defend their right to say it.

If we don't have free speech, who gets to decide what we can or cannot say?

 

I would

On the self ID thing, If I go in town with my daughter and she needs the ladies, and I see a bloke who self Id's as a female follow her in, is it okay for me to self ID as Tyson Fury and smash his face in?
