Not to dismiss the severity of the Derek Chauvin case but why ask for OJ Simpson's opinion on anything ever?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

You know, my Dad has an annoying habit of wheezing when chuckling, making him sound like Muttley when he does so. It's very annoying and people in our family want him to stop.

Your post made me start making that sound, so thanks for nothing.

Giant American rear end touches down in Australia

AN American Mammoth Donkey has been imported into Australia directly from the USA for the first time in over 20 years.

The giant rear end, named Diamond Creek Moonwatcher, had to be issued a special import permit before he could arrive on Australian shores.

‘God-Awful Blast' That Rocked NH Towns Was Gender Reveal Explosion

quote:

Neighborhoods in several different southern New Hampshire towns were rocked by a mysterious explosion Tuesday night.

Kingston police say the blast was caused by a family using explosives to reveal the gender of their baby.

Chief Donald Briggs said the blast happened at Torromeo Industries on Dorre Road around 7 p.m.

Kingston residents say it was like nothing they had ever heard before.

“It was earth-shaking,” said a neighbor on Dorre Road.

quote:

Kingston police confirm it was a gender reveal using explosives.

“Are you kidding me?” said Taglieri. “I’m all up for silliness and what not, but that was extreme.”

quote:

Police say they’ve seen the gender reveal video and confirm -- it’s a boy.

There was that one grandma who died because someone made a gender reveal pipe bomb by accident.

Must be really great for the child to find out their gender reveal is the reason they never met a grandpa or aunt.

Binaries aren't even treated like explosives for the most part until you combine the two parts. (sold together)

There are some great recordings of people being idiots of it. My favorite was the guy who used it on a fridge and runs as the door comes blasting at him. Another idiot put some in a lawnmower and took out his leg. One the safer end, people have also blown up vehicles as well as one guy who leveled an old barn.

Just accept that as a country, America wants a Darwin award, and just let them attain it.

It’s fuelled by anti-trans hate, so it will probably get worse than this.

It's certainly rooted in conflating gender and sex, but I don't recall seeing it as an explicit way to stick it to trans people beyond the sense that assuming everyone is cis and gender roles as concepts inherently do. But then again I don't read mommy blogs.

Throwing a gender party when first finding out the sex of an unborn baby is at it's most basic concept really calling your shot on what gender the kids gonna grow up as.

I wouldn't call that fueled by explicit trans hate as much as institutional hate from a society that sees a dick in a grainy interpolated medical procedure and plans the kids next 18 years to present as male.

But yes also there's a lot of people doing very conscious very obvious signalling that they wouldn't do this if there wasn't any controversy about it.

I recall reading that the person who "invented" them originally just wanted to do a fun thing, and now wishes she never did it. Her child came out as transgender in their teens Another reason she wishes she hadn't done it is that it really could have messed up her kid with the pressure of being assigned a gender by their parents.

EDIT: found the article. Also her daughter did NOT come out as transgender, just doesn't like conforming to the definition of "girly"

quote:

Now I just try to cater each child. The middle one loves dolls so she has 100 dolls. Whereas Bianca rocks her suits. She is the most confident 11-year-old you’ll ever meet. The way that started is that it was time to get dressed up for our family Christmas pictures a few years ago and Bianca had been saying for a while that she didn’t want to wear dresses. I was like, “That’s fine. What do you think about a suit?” We both looked at each other and she said, “Can girls wear suits?” I said, “Absolutely. Let’s get you one.” That’s the photo that ended up going viral.
