[BLF Opinion dump] Are children, teenagers, young adults now too "soft?"

I was thinking of that too, gj.

[Nymph]

there are only four genders. male, female, 'other', and Necron.

Necron's icon looks sick af

[Daswiruch]

i mean if you believe that being trans or gender dysphoria is legitimate then i don't think its a super far leap to see that gender is just a weird and fluid state of mind

so i have no problem with gender fluidity or anything like that

gender fluidity is playing pretend
you don't just out of the blue feel like a girl and then the next a boy and then a girl again
literally everyone who says that they are gender fluid are either lying or confused

there's tolerance, and then there's acceptance, and in this corner over here we have bullstuff

[Nonnel]

Just switching between genders means there is something wrong with you

Define gender

why do you draw the line here? you're not a gender psychologist. i doubt youve ever actually looked into this

It's more common now than it was 10 years ago, but it's fairly uncommon if you aren't sampling from just young liberals.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's pretty common around where I am, but I suppose it depends on the area. I imagine the polling rate wouldn't be very high in the deep south.

I mean, you don't have the kind of perspective to know that for certain.

When people tell me about lucid dreaming, there's always a part of my mind that wonders whether everyone who does lucid dreaming is just bullstuffting me. Like, surely after trying and failing at lucid dreaming for a few weeks, it must be pretty easy to just lie about it and tell your friends about all this cool stuff that never actually happened to you.

But since I've never had a lucid dream and I can't enter their minds, there's literally no way for me to have any degree of certainty about it. I think it's a good parallel for gender stuff, since most people have no personal experience with that kind of thing. It's your own prerogative whether you believe them or not, but you have to admit to yourself that you've got no evidence one way or the other.
