poo poo happens, goons. Transdad may want to move to someplace like Key West or SF where his trans-son can get sum loving and respect. If he really cared.

Transdad: if you want to have a relationship with your child at all, consider really sitting down and talking to them. Ask them If they've considered all the options and alternatives. Talk to them about mental health, about their need for security and validation. Ask them how they feel about their body and their mind. Like maybe your kid wants to reject typical gender roles and norms because they just want to be a swishy, effeminate person and hate football or jock culture or maybe they have real issues and think changing their gender will solve their problems and could use therapy or maybe they are totally nuts or maybe they really have thought all this out and have landed, healthily, on identifying as trans. Maybe imagine it like your kid decided they wanted to join a kooky religion. Obviously they are facing persecution and humiliation and probably will end up doing stuff you don't approve of, but like for real don't spend any more time thinking about your child's gender or sexuality (or genitals!) than you have to. Worry about their personality, their work ethic, their ability to make friends, because there was a good chance your teenager was gonna dress retarded anyway, it's like what they are known for. Don't let the gender poo poo get in the way of being there for your child. One day you will be old and making GBS threads yourself and your son/daughter will be the one either taking care of you or dumping your body in a dumpster, and that decision may very well come down to how you are handing this.

quote:I was kind of a nerdy kid and didn't fit in well in grade school but I got along real well with this other nerdy kid. We were best friends up until grade 7 or 8 when he just poo poo his pants completely one day, just full on sitting in his desk diarrhea all over the place with 25 other kids in the classroom. Being a young maturing man that was struggling to fit in and a little bit self conscious who now had a best friend who poo poo his pants in class I decided the best thing to do was to completely cut off contact with him. You didn't turn out normal. You were a poo poo person then and you are a poo poo person now. Maybe your friend wouldn't have turned into a creep if he had you to support him. And the fact that you wronged him then doesn't magically disappear because he draws anime now. You're obviously still insecure because you're afraid that apologizing to someone who owns an anime pillow would debase you.

 That is a clock wound too guddamn tightly, good lord Chill, bro. Humans are humans. We make mistakes and use shortcuts, no big. It really seems like you're only sad because of you, not because of other people. I hope you're not hauling all that baggage to work with you because I'm sure you must be a hit at the office if you do. Take some vacation and relax, man. And no the world is not going to poo poo, people say "oh god this is the end the world is going to pot" without fail every day of every week of every month of every year and will continue to do so until the sun burns out.

In some order, (a) maybe try drugs again, since there is more than one depression medication and maybe one of the others will help you fix your brain, (b) consider moving so that you'll at least realize that the grass is not any greener on the other side, and (c) stop caring as much what other people think of you or what you think of other people. If you're telling the truck dude and burger lady stories accurately, then yeah, they're jerks, but you have no idea what else is going on in their lives so that they became jerks in those particular scenarios, and even if there's no mitigating factor, you will never see them again and dwelling on it is not going to help your life in any way. (Okay, truck dude backing into your car is sort of your business, but take it up with your insurance company.)

Read more Herbert Simon and Gerd Gigerenzer If the benefit gained by using logic is distributed ~ x and the human computational cost of doing the logic is distributed ~ y and the cost of half assing it is ~ z, and (thinking earthmover dist or something) z > y - x, or dominates in some other nice property, it's perfectly logical to satisfice. Often human cognition tasks have enormously diminishing returns. Perhaps you've read too much Tversky and Kahnemann, who systematically listed these heuristics as faults, despite the fact that they're pretty accurate and often cost like 100x less thinking time. Computation costs time in people, too, you know Getting people to use true predicate logic and empiricism and poo poo on everything is like saying that all houses should have 15 bedrooms and 15 baths. Life would be nicer in that objective dimension, yes, but wouldn't it be a waste and a giant loving pain in the rear end?

Also, it seems you failed to recognize the status transactions inherent in your interactions, which is why everyone is calling you a goddamn sperg, maybe with good reason It's status transactions. Sex selection makes chromosomes not be of monstruous size and complexity so you've got to do that poo poo or else our genes could get hosed up. Certainly parthenogenetic species don't have a great time of it (and they have status anyhow too) See the papadimitriou feldman livnat paper about sex selection poo poo, it's got some good arguments. If you're complaining that the paper has math, lol complaining about math, turnabout is fair play

Viva Miriya posted:No one just shits themself in class sorry dumbass. Dude disowned a loving disaster. I know I'm getting piled on but I'll say it anyway. Not just to this poster, speaking in general. We can assume the kid didn't do it on purpose, he just couldn't manage diarrhea. In this very thread an adult confessed of the same thing happening to him in an office. It's not impossible/unheard of. If you are the kid's friend you can laugh at him and tease him for a while but then you shouldn't cut him off completely, forever. If other kids do the same it's the textbook definition of school abuse through isolation of the victim. If you want to high-five people for mobbing other kids at school, go ahead I guess. It makes you a hypocrite though if you'll jump do defend a kid that's trans (appropriately, the trans kid and the pants kid were next to each other, in the same post). Either you have a problem with child abuse or you don't, don't be selective about it.

i'd like to apologise to everybody in this thread for the sudden drop in the quality of my posts in this thread, i should probably have never thought a stray i've hosed your mother joke would hold water here and i like to think even in my mediocre moments i am better than that. i took it further because i thought someone was taking me seriously and i could get a bit of a rise. i realise i do not have the gravity in this thread to get away with ironic low content content and from now i'm going to do better. it's really hard to judge the mood and tone of gbs these days, it's varied a lot during my few brief posting stints.quote:Not because of personal stuff, or money, or some organic chemistry problem. All of those causes can be, at the very least, mitigated. I get blue--really blue--when it's something outside my ability to help. too much of this post is just you describing minor social faux pas people have made while you were in the room to come to any actual substantial advice but all i have to say is you're going to love the mike judge film idiocracy and i hope to god we're never friends quote:I am the father (yes I am old) of a 17 year old boy who decided he was "trans." I think trans is made up bullshit. for the sake of anonymity lets just say his name was john and now he prefers to be called jane. And my son goes to "Schmendmond Wartime hero Highschool" in Oklahoma Semi-urban area. That's right, the buckle of the loving bible belt. He is skinny, but isnt particularly girlish. He went out and got dresses and wigs and basically just looks like a teenage boy in drag. I am absolutely disgusted by my son. this is a disgusting low-effort fake. but your son sounds hot. where is oklahoma semi-urban area? number one pta fan fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Jul 21, 2017 |

That's what being a kid is like.

Gynovore posted:People are stupid, deal with it. Yeah, it really seemed like that whole novel could've been a one sentence confession along the lines of "I think people should be more reasonable and it makes me sad that they are not." But hey, at least guy is getting therapy and is seeing a doc to try to even out whatever the hell his condition is with medication. So that's good at least. If he'd typed all that while refusing help, that'd be worse than making a dooker in your pants in the middle of yelling at your crying trans child for not mowing the lawn

quote:I caught my wife cheating on me. She doesn't know I know yet. I plan to destroy her life. I know it's petty but after reading this, I think you'll see my side. Speaking as someone who's been married for less than a year, reading accounts of people going through divorces and going to great expense and effort to make each other suffer is really scary  quote:As long as I can remember, I've had issues with pissing. A basic human function that I apparently can't do properly. It's led to repeated UTI's, to the point I have a new one every week. I've given up treating them as it gets way too expensive to keep buying the medication. wait, are UTIs contagious I don't think they are??? Maybe I dunno At any rate even if you're 100% medically correct on this, having kids is not the end-all be-all of existence and you shouldn't attach so much importance to it. Look into support material for infertile people; it's out there. I was considering telling you to donate some sperm if you were really that freaked out about it but the confession as written gives no indication w/r/t your gender so I guess only do that if applicable

UTIs are treated with super basic antibiotics that are like $5. If they aren't treated, it doesn't lead to infertility (the pee hole is not the same as the sex hole) as much as it goes to your kidneys, destroys them, and eventually kills you if your body can't fight it off. e: I was thinking women, obv.
