Be at peace, Son of Gondor.

Hanging out in my house is like an Eye Spy book where all the items are dobermans.

PSA: Don’t let your children or pets run straight towards a strange dog they don’t know but “want to pet/play with”. And don’t then yell “he/she’s friendly”.

The fact is they aren’t friendly if they’re doing that. Full stop. Running straight at someone is not only not nice behavior but it’s aggressive as fuck. If I started running full tilt at you and you didn’t know me, you wouldn’t put your arms out for a hug and ask me to go to the park and be best friends. You’d back away, yell at me to back off or just flat out punch me.

Please teach your children to move slowly to an animal they want to pet and ASK and then to accept the rejection (from human or dog) and walk away without losing their minds the same way they SHOULD be asking for consent for a hug (or anything else).

This is a great reminder. My dogs are incredibly sweet and friendly. They are also 70+ pound Dobermans. Even a “positive” interaction can go sideways quickly, simply because of their size. I *love* when parents ask if their kids can say hi / meet / pet my dogs. It’s even more amazing when the kids ask on their own.

Also, noone asked for it, but my thoughts on the supreme court's ruling of trans women being banned in women's sports:

1. All sports should be coed and it's an insult to women to have them separated by gender

2. Trans women are women. If you, as a cis woman, get beat by a trans woman in a sport, it's because you did worse at it.

3. I know 2 can be hard to swallow, but as a 5'1 woman in contact sports my whole life: you either adapt and figure out how to make your own advantage, or you lose.

4. Losing happens and makes you a better player for it. If you're a cis woman who lost a game to a trans woman - it's an opportunity to be a better player. I encounter cis women significantly taller and faster than me with more muscle mass all the time. If you say you're losing to someone because of different muscle frame - you need to get creative or practice more.

5. We're worse off for this stupid ass ruling. It just adds to the placating, " oh women can't do what men can do and need separate easier settings," bullshit.

6. Every method of physically inspecting a person’s sex is invasive. Blood tests? Physically invasive. Medical records check? Invasive of privacy. Genital exam? Both, and also rude.

7. Excluding a category of people from a massive form of entertainment and vocation because of an innate factor like skin color would obviously be wrong. We don’t DO that. (And besides, gender is a protected category) So excluding transgender people from sports because of an innate factor like their gender, and the fact that it doesn’t match their assigned gender at birth, is wrong as well.
