  1. Not only that, it's also an ethical dilemma. What someone does in their private doesn't directly effect you all the time, but there are downstream societal effects when we start affirming people's delusions. That's not empathy, it's enabling. The truly empathetic thing to do would be a dose of tough love, and harsh reality.

  2. Back in my day, these people would have just gone through a goth phase. Except it's a lot easier to just stop wearing dark clothes and makeup, at the worst you might end up with some tattoos you regret. These kids are going to have a much more difficult battle with recovery.😊

  3. This is the way I see it, if you have a little kid that likes to play dinosaur, that's completely normal, you play along and encourage them to be imaginative and playful. But if they get waaaaaaay too into it and start pretending to be a dinosaur all the time, and they're even asking their teacher to address them as a dinosaur, eventually you're going to have to talk to them and say hey buddy, you know this isn't real, right? You're not a dinosaur.

  4. ​​ @Harold_Callahan sounds like you and your family are winning at life, good for you. I've found that a lot of tomboys do grow up into beautiful, fun, charming women. My theory is that while the "pretty" girls are more concerned with popularity and materialism, the nerds and tomboys are developing a real, authentic personality that's all their own. I'm not trying to say the popular kids are all bad people, but there is a tendency to conformity in those circles, and that can often result in them becoming boring, unremarkable adults.

  5. ​ @derekjet7715 except God may exist, nobody really knows that for sure. Men definitely cannot get pregnant, we do know that for sure. But nice try with the false equivalence.

  6. If you ask politely, most people will address you however you want to be addressed. And if for their own reasons they refuse to, then screw them, move on with your life.

  7. Imagine if you meet someone named Robert, and they say "please, call me Bobby", pretty much everyone would be completely fine with that, "sure, nice to meet you Bobby". Now imagine the same guy immediately starts screaming at you and says "don't you ever call me Bob!!!". At the very least you would privately think damn, what was Bob's problem? A lot of people would want to call him Bob just out of spite, you don't have to be an ass about it.

  9. Reminds me of one of them that "presents" as a man, and was arrested for looting during the summer of love. Guess what "gender" they went to court as? That's right, 100% woman, because she knew she was more likely to get a lighter sentence that way. So much for their imaginary male privilege.

  10. It's a cult. Look up the BITE model if you don't believe me, they check every box.
