QUOTE Whereas I DO feel like it is a mental disorder, since there is no cure for it I don't think I would ever say that to him.
If you can get away with not telling him, I suppose be quiet. If he asks directly, do not lie. As much as you might feel it is, you're not living his life with his brain nor are you a qualified mental health expert.
QUOTE I might, in some innocent conversation, ask him what he would do if there was a pill to make him "binary," or whatever.
I've had genuinely wacko friends of mine eat anti-psychotics for months with no effect. I've also known people on anti-depression meds for years without it making a dent. The best it did was numb them. Even if you're right and it's a chemical imbalance, the solution may be shittier than the illness.

QUOTE Whereas I DO feel like it is a mental disorder, since there is no cure for it I don't think I would ever say that to him. Â I wouldn't want him, on top of everything else he is feeling and going through, to think that his Dad thinks he is mentally ill... he has the rest of the world to tell him that. Â I would be supportive, and tell him to pursue whatever life he thinks will make him happiest, and I will always be there when he needs his old man.
I think I'd have to be honest. I'd probably go Forrest Gump as far as "I'll tell you what I think about it, and that'll be all I need to discuss it unless you feel the need to talk about it some more."
I'm a big believer with my family and loved ones in stating my belief because I need to air my beliefs, not because I'm trying to change their minds. I'm stating this for me, not to change you.

Exactly this. I don't know how you have to allow males to identify as females without allowing whites to identify as blacks, or anything else they can think of.

But it DOES matter.
Or do we live in different countries?
In other news, Miley Cyrus is "gender fluid".
I've just decided that I'm "gender, race, and sex fluid". Now I can pretty much say anything to anyone and it's not racist or sexist.

From now on we can say anything we want to game the system and it isn't lying. Affirmative Action is done.

Fucking good. One of AA's most baffling tenets is that minorities need help because they have no hope of competing with "the rest." Â You know, the minorities that have been whipped, beaten, held down, raped, robbed, and lynched by the Man. Â Those dudes need extra help getting by? Â Jackie Robinson didn't break into MLB after someone felt sorry for him or decided to pull a publicity stunt.

QUOTE QUOTE Is she applying to college with that ethnicity? Â Does she have a paying job that had to fill some AA quota and let her in because she checked the "African-American" box? YES!!!!! One of the first articles talks about how she's been applying to things and marking the African-American box.
That's a problem with AA instead of a problem with her adopted ethnicity. Â It is less legit than her claim of being black. Â Hell, all these problems could be solved on the forms themselves. Â All they have to do is start using the adjective "biological" in front of "race."
Fuck it, we don't need a racial draft. Â We need a racial registration. Â We can make it like signing up for a political party.
"Is he really white?"

I don't know if that is accurate anymore. I thought they recently found a bone elsewhere that dates back even farther.
