RE: https://hoosier.social/@KrissyKat/116705340434282505 You know, if forcing children to undergo genital inspections is a necessity for functioning youth sports, perhaps it&#39;s time for youth sports to go away.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@smolrobots/116719638863687606 When my wife and I were expecting our first, we joked about doing a gender reveal party where the big moment would come and it would be something pastel yellow (or otherwise completely ambiguous), and when the guests all acted confused or indignant, we would say &quot;what did you expect would happen if _we_ did a gender reveal?!?&quot; We didn&#39;t know the sex of either of our babies until they were born.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@cmconseils/116719568342221977 We get a micro-version of this on our kids&#39; walk to and from school. (Edit) Upon closer scrutiny, the temperature changes are clearly absurd. But the point remains: there&#39;s a considerable variation in comfort when walking on the stretches of the street with good shade and those without.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116045968768099650 This is so true. I would highly recommend that every white man commute to work or around town on a bike once a week or so. You get just a taste of the kind of vulnerability everyone else feels much of the rest of the time, and that we so rarely experience otherwise.
