Can you even imagine how awful it would be for a trans person's parents to throw a funeral for their birth-gender identity? Christ, the sheer congealed passive aggression of it.

Quite honestly it sounds like the little girl was either traded for a boy or was very ill, died and they adopted a little boy. Adoption was infinitely easier then.

No no, this dude's family were clearly pioneers of Trans rights. There is no other explanation.

Yeah, I presume you're right and this wasn't a trans situation anyway; I was just playing what-if and being pedantic about even the alleged "progressive" version of the story being poo poo-awful.

Assuming it actually happened the way that she's implying, pretending your daughter died and you adopted a son was probably the safest way to handle it back then. The early 1900's doesn't seem like it would have been all that understanding and tolerant, and this way could have gone unnoticed and provided this person as close to a normal life as would have been achievable at the time.

I've seen it enough times to recognize it (I mean it's just a pentagram with swirly things around it), but if I saw someone who was into the show enough to have clothing based on it I'd get away from them fast. I think it's probably the worst show in terms of how drastically and disturbingly the people who like the show are from the people who identify as being part of "the fandom".

Supernatural fans themselves aren't absolutely awful. It's when you get into the Superwholock fandom that it becomes a problem.

I think the Supernatural-specific stuff like the gay incest and dog-loving fanfic is bad enough on its own, but yes those 3 combined is a perfect storm of terrible.

Supernatural is only be on the air because CW executives are frightened that if they cancel it some insane fans will murder their families.

There are some episodes of that show that I just can't listen to, and that is one of them. Eeeuugh.

Others, though, like the MLP one, I go back to on a regular basis. "Yeah, I took a lock of my own hair, some candles, and cinnamon and said some magic words and a pony appeared in front of me! Really, guys! Really!"

And also when they decided that the dudes would nail each other and have butt babies, and came up with a big elaborate caste system involving that?

Or rather it does happen sometimes, but only in captive miserable wolves taken from different family groups. In the wild the packs are run by Mummy Wolf and Daddy Wolf and everyone else is their extended family and a few extras. Stick a bunch of wolves who don't know each other together in a pen and weird poo poo happens


Also even if it were natural that doesn't mean you should imitate it

Yes, they are delightful and extremely noisy Australian birds also called happy families, apostle birds or Twelve Apostles, or CWA (Country Women's Association) birds. They hang out in big family groups and are somewhat like a pigeon sized grey sparrow with the brain of a slightly dopey crow. They're "core corvids" along with Willy Wagtails (who have inflatable eyebrows) so they have extra brains to cause maximum havoc/noise.

Yeah, it's more or less like watching how prison inmates interact and building an entire theory of human behavior based only on that.
