For sure. They definitely get my eyes rolling at times, but then I remember what I was like at 19 and cut them a little slack.

I didn’t know a single person like that when I was 19. So I don’t. Tbh, the ones we are talking about probably need 1 good asskicking and then they can get to real dialogue and change/progress.

I think a lot of 19 year olds just have an outsized view of their own experiences. I wasn't a crazy liberal nut at nineteen (I was actually pretty conservative, voted for Bush even) but I was far more confident in my beliefs than I had any reason to be.

I also think that their influence is far less than the amount of attention they get.
 
I have a niece, well, nephew now, who is transgender F2M. Parents started her on hormone therapy basically at the time she hit puberty. Not sure I completely agree with that, but who knows. If my kids came out as gay? I'm sure I'd learn to accept.
Hormone therapy is almost completely reversible. I understand where you're coming from but since it can basically be undone I think it makes sense if it's something the transgender person wants.

I think they are having a tremendous influence on universities. And I don’t like what I’m seeing there.

Also they are helping push a far more liberal agenda. So, I do think they are having an impact

I agree about the over confidence.
 
I always think that Fish's girl is the luckiest girl alive. Fish is pretty much like the perfect and most likable guy.

Jesus's sign/symbol is a fish. Coincidence? I think not.

I taught my kids about this, called it the circle of knowledge. Imagine everything you know is in a circle drawn on a chalkboard or something. Everything outside the circle is what you don't know. The line of the circle itself represents what you know you don't know. The smaller the circle, the less you know, but also the less you know you don't know, hence why younger and uneducated people think they know everything. Their circle of knowledge is small and they are not aware of as much that they don't know, so they think they know more than they do.
 
Admittedly, there was a time period late in high school and early in college in which I questioned my sexuality. It wasn’t that I craved ****, lol, it has to do with other reasons. I’ll divulge them if people are curious. I guess my point is, again, it’s a tricky time and to come to a definitive conclusion about something so important could be, for lack of a better word, possibly wrong. At least at that point in time.

I'm curious to hear about your phase when you questioned your sexuality.
