Just amazing how things have changed in say the last 10 years and the things we now celebrate.

They've ruined their kids life and still will contend with human biology when their manly son goes to get a routine pap smear among other things. What they feel like doesn't change what they are, there was nothing wrong with being a female to begin with, even a more masculine female. Suicidality is generally a long term problem and can't be fixed with short term band-aid solutions (if one calls it that, I call it nutty) like gender transition as a child, especially when the repercussions are long term. This is child abuse.

Not sure what you're suggesting here.

Not suggesting anything. Teenage boys are quick to attack those deemed different, going through menopause would qualify as different for a teenage boy, teenage girl for that matter. Social distancing is protecting him for a considerable amount of potential bullying

Kids are actually pretty accepting these days, it's the old farts that have to make a big deal out of nothing.

I do not remeber any of my school friends going through Menopause so it is difficult to say what may have happened. I agree times have changed and what was unusual is much more the norm.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Believe what you will, so in your world bullying doesn’t occur, good to know.


How old are you out of curiosity?  I noticed you liked belittling older people, acceptable with the younger generation or just in your book?

I'm pretty sure that that's the most "old person" thing I've ever read on the internet in a while. I'm belittling old people because I said kids are more open to change? In a thread where a bunch of adults are mocking a kid?

 

And bullying does occur, there's still rotten apples here and there. Good thing is that there are plenty of kids who aren't that are able to take the side of the victim.

It's kind of odd to suggest that every kid's a bully though. How old are you? I noticed you liked belittling young whippersnappers, acceptable with the older generation or just in your book?

 

 

Edit: 35, smack in the middle of the young and olds. Now that I think of it, "how old are you?" is also a very "old person" question in itself.
