I slept for mos of the day when I was able to. Up at night either because I slept enough earlier or I can't sleep through the shivers. I just tried to take it easy and put my head elsewhere.

Pity bump on the thread, by the way.

Approximately 10 pounds of her body weight is make-up.

I'd just like to bring up a point here. Yeah, gender dysphoria pretty much fits the bill for a mental illness. Or, at least, the qualifications for a mental instability/disorder. Specifically to Inglorious, here's something to think about.

How many mental illnesses out there are treated simply by telling them "No, stop having a differently wired brain?"

None. Dementia. Altzhiemers. Schizophrenia. Bi-polar disorder. And every other one under the sun that exists, are all treated with medication or alterations that are neccessary to try and stabilize the person afflicted with whatever they have.

Why make an exception to gender dysphoria and say "Lol no?"

Even regardless of your stance, here's something far out to think about. As we become better in medical fields, for instance. Lately, they've grown a seperate heart from scratch in a lab and they're teaching it to pump on it's own. They're getting better at natural skin reconstruction and facial reconstruction surgery, grafting, you name it.

Eventually we're going to see the day that a human body can be medically altered basically from the ground up. At that point, the age dilemma will dissappear, and not only that, but so will the barriers of base biological sex. And I'd put money down that we'll see people swapping sexes over completely. Hell, you might even get combinations of both combined, eventually.

It's far out to think about. But it's a reality that's on the way soon, either through bio-medical advances or robotic advances.

One way or another, matey, your opinion on the subject will have to shift itself to adapt with the times.

Folks like complaining about something. Especially if it's different.  All there is to it.

Different things scare people.

Also. As long as it doesn't do this stuff when you talk to it I'd be fine with it.

And if they don't look like this then I'll be okay with it too

Are you telling me you wouldn't want that greeting you in a husky receptionist voice and politely taking your info before kindly directing you to your room?

But can it give me a hug when I need it?

I spent two and a half sleepless days awake when Halo 3 launched.

Except there's a giant flaw in your solution.

I very rarely use heavier or colorful forms of language when around people so I don't upset them in the first place.

Give me six months or so. Give or take.

If I talked about it it'd be a downer. So here's a much more pleasant version.

I breathed air, ate food, got on the floor and did the dinosaur.

Jono's got a point. I can remember my dad decking my mother upside the head and that happened when I was two.

I also remember getting pulled through the bushes by a dog when I was three.

Depending on whether the memory is traumatic or just really fun the wee little bugger might remember it for a long while to come.

So I plan on making it a good one. I've been building it up for a week. He knows what rides he wants to go on and what snacks and toys he wants. It's gonna be fun.

Hell, we're starting out at IHOP with his favorite breakfast.

I've never really given it any thought before. But I did, just now. Of the members here you're part of the small number of people who have kids. The only others are AngryBrute and Chakas. I certainly haven't had kids. And I know I won't ever get the chance to have them.

But in some measure I know a little bit about what being a dad is like. Among all the members of my family, in case of something bad happening, I am the next legal guardian over my little niece.  And I was chosen for good reason. If she didn't have a dad already, I'd be there to fill the role.

You do something for me charlie. Don't make just that trip a good one. Make the wee little bugger's life a good one.  Of all the kids out there who get shit parents and a shit life... do your absolute best for him, for me.

This is such a popular topic here it's almost sad (luckily it's only one person starting it each time though)

We have a mandatory 10 page thread once a month. As expected, nothing ever changes.

But the saphire thread filled that quota by twice the amount. This thread's adding triple the stack on top of that.

INFLATION.
