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.
I'm using the white whole wheat flour,
that's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? Wacky!
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.
we really need to update the buffista maps. We had a frappr map at one point, as I recall.
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.
No, Gar is in Olympia Wa. Was i Portland Or at one point, but no longer. Did visit Eugene - looked like a very pretty town , but active with lots to do as well. Not there long enough to be certain about the last part.
yes, we have the frappr. But, I cant figure out how to move myself.

And then, I think, parents just want what's best for their kids, and I can't fault parents who don't want their kid to go through years of hell being tormented for being trans. Or killed for it.
The whole thing sucks so badly.
