Re: do I understand the definition of a woman?

We both agree, at least I think we do, that identification is most often critical to a person affected with DSD…they can either identify as a man or a woman…or a ever growing gender rainbow. But again, this does not detour us from being able to define what a biological woman is, in fact I could arg...

You don't seem to understand what free speech or censorship are.
That's relative, or it's nearly impossible come up with precise definitions that would apply to all cases, you smart pants.

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Hold the phone: Doc cam called you a name, Some Schmo said you are a creep for no reason, per you, and IWMP said young people are naïve -- and you think this is overwhelming evidence that society strongly condemns relationships with 10-15 year age differences People are condemning large age differe...

Re: LDS Scout Leader charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct.

If it was a relative and she was happy. I wouldn't judge. ... I think if her family were ok with you, which I read there was a suggestion of that then they obviously weren't concerned. Thank you ! Yes absolutely. Her mother gave me permission to date her. I initially had no idea she was that young ...

Re: LDS Scout Leader charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct.

Would you still feel ok dating a 17 year old now? Does age always define the maturity of a person, and wouldn't you expect a single mom to be mature? There's evidence that the brain matures more rapidly when the young person goes through hard times. I can assure you that I was like her best friend ...

Re: Can we get a Rosebud mega thread like we did for Doubting Thomas?

I’d suggest it’d serve everyone’s interests in that we avoid all the annual Rosebud spam and Rosebud has one thread in which her documentation is collated, so to speak. The difference is that I don't make stuff up. Just because you don't care about boys falling behind doesn't mean it's spam. https:...

Re: Spamming

Just so I understand, are you saying it is our job as mods to avoid doing anything that would anger you? Are you saying that we are responsible for what you do when you are angry? No and no. That's not what I said. I simply don't appreciate the fact that some people are treated differently. However...

She doesn't really let me stray too far. She tends to bring everything back to me and I tend to try to talk about everyon...
