A multiyear study shows spanking kids makes them more aggressive later on

I haven’t pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.

So let me scream it from the hilltops:

Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.

If you think, “but I was hit and I turned out just fine” let me pre-reply: NO YOU DID NOT. You think hitting a child is ok, how the fuck does that qualify as “fine”?????? From one abuse survivor to another: please start healing yourself.

"Why do you talk so much about being intersex?"

Over 90% of parents of visibly intersex children opt for cosmetic surgery on their infants.

The ones that don't experience medical violence then, likely experience it as a teenager.

I didn't.

I am very rare in that I did not experience medical violence.

Why? Because I learned what intersexuality was as a young age, and I actively fought against what doctors wanted to do to me. All the way down to legal research on what medical care minors can be forced into. I remember walking into that doctor's appointment with the state law written down that proved that if I did not consent they could not do surgery.

That is why intersex activism is important. It saved me and it will save more.

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the use of “Dad” and “Let’s go” in the trailer for The Odyssey, but this is the weird paradox we fall into when adapting ancient stories for modern audiences.

We literally can’t translate it into old enough English to fit the time period and still expect moviegoers to follow the dialogue.

About the earliest version of English that most moviegoers can understand is “Early Modern English.” That’s the English spoken in around 1500-1700. It’s the English of the King James Bible and Shakespeare plays.

Shakespeare uses the word “Dad” and the phrase “Let’s go” in his plays.

There was no English language during the time of Homer and any English earlier than “early modern” would look like this:

“Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote/ The droghte of March hath perced to the roote..."
