Who's in Eugene? Is that where Gar is?
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I'm using the white whole wheat flour,
that's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? Wacky!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm listening to this story on transgender kids
Wow. I just keep thinking, how awful for the kid whose parents and therapist are forcing him to give up everything "girl"-related -- he's growing up being told by literally everyone that, at his very core, he is fundamentally *wrong.*
That's heart-breaking.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah. I ought to look up what this stuff actually is. All I can figure out from the package is that it's got the whole grain in it, and that it's not bleached. It's darker than all-purpose flour but not as dark as regular whole wheat flour.

OK, the Mayo Clinic website tells me that white whole wheat flour is made from albino wheat.

I want to smack that therapist so hard right now. That poor, poor kid.
I would have been fine with any gender identity for Lillian. A bit baffled that she's so Aggro Girl, but if she'd wanted to dress in jeans and a tee shirt, play with trucks 24/7, and have us call her our son Liam, I'd have done it in a heartbeat.

Oh man. I just *read* the story, rather than listen to it, and that's so upsetting, the poor kid having his toys taken away and told he can't like pink, and all that jazz. YEESH.
I mean, I don't think that we should be labeling kids as transgender at age 3 necessarily, but....until you get to puberty and hormones and all that, nothing is irreversible!! So today he wants to be she and wear a dress, great. Maybe it's a phase, and the kid'll grow out of it and be totally normal by age 8. Maybe it's a phase and the kid isn't transgender, but is just gay, and is having a hard time identifying with the stereotypes of masculinity and femininity s/he is seeing presented (ie, it's ok to be a swishy boy, or a softball playing girl, but sometimes kids don't get that if they dont' see it, and just go whole hog to "I wanna be [other gender]". But seriously! Just let the kid do it, and it won't fuck him or her up like enforcing gender sterotypes will! Save yourself the therapy money!

Yes. I can't imagine watching my child suffer like that and forcing him to hide who he is. He'll never trust his parents as he gets older.
