reimers much more cool-headed than gladys, but they still like to keep to themself and their hobbies. they are unintentionally more of a wet blanket than they let on though... but its ok bc people are too intimidated by them to realize
What is the Commitment Bias?
Commitment bias, also known as the escalation of commitment, describes our tendency to remain committed to our past behaviors, particularly those exhibited publicly, even if they do not have desirable outcomes.
It's not only the wave of kids themselves who will require therapy and support for what was done to them, but also - and possibly even more so - the parents who got caught up in this hysteria and psychologically, and possibly medically, damaged their kids.
It's a classic parental tenet that "I would die for my child." But the cognitive walls necessary to actually deny and avoid admitting that you are the one who permanently damaged your own child must be the highest, thickest ones of all. And what happens when those finally come down?
Filipa 2:5-8
Doot soo denke aus Jesus Christus docht;
dee fonn Natua ut Gott wea, oba Gott jlikj senne nich met Jewault musst faust jehoole woare;
leewa muak sikj selfst ohne Ea, neem Kjnachts Natua aun, en wort jebuare en aunjeseene so aus en jeweenlija Mensch, en deemieticht sikj selfst, en wort jehuarsaum bott aum Doot, sogoa daen Doot aum Kjriets.
i'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before, but is omototi some sort of grim reaper? what does his "job" entail?
omototis species is based on the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, and he is one of the death sub-types :) which would sound overpowered and dangerous if everyone else wasnt also equally overpowered and dangerous...
In the summer of 1966, Janet and Ron Reimer brought their 8-month-old son, David, to a hospital in Winnipeg to have him circumcised. The physician who performed the procedure was a general practitioner who, unfortunately, seared David's penis with an electric cauterizing machine. As a result of the botched surgery, David's penis was severely damaged and eventually fell off.
The Reimers were distraught and desperate for guidance on how to proceed with their son's upbringing. They sought advice from Dr. John Money, a renowned sex researcher at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Money believed that gender identity was shaped primarily by social and environmental factors, rather than biological ones. He proposed that David's remaining genital tissue be removed and that he be raised as a girl, with the name "Brenda." The Reimers reluctantly agreed.
David's progress was tracked in comparison to his identical twin brother, Brian, who had not undergone any surgery. Money's theory suggested that David, as Brenda, would adopt typically female behaviors and preferences, while Brian would behave in a more masculine way. But despite being raised as a girl and undergoing hormone treatments, counseling, and therapy, David never felt like a girl. He always knew he was a boy, and eventually, at the age of 15, David was informed of the failed circumcision and that he had been raised as a girl as part of an experiment.
David was devastated, but his parents insisted that he continue to live as Brenda. However, David was unable to cope with his assigned gender and underwent a series of surgeries to reverse the damage, including a double mastectomy and the construction of a penis. He also changed his name back to David. Although he was never able to father children, David went on to get married and became a loving stepfather.
David's case challenged the widely accepted notion that gender identity was entirely the product of socialization, and instead highlighted the importance of biological factors. Sadly, after a lifelong struggle with depression, David took his own life on May 4, 2004, by shooting himself in the head.
i will never stop finding it hilarious that zun made sanae kochiya in 2007 as a trendy modern girl, but since it's been like 16 years she doesn't really fit the ticket anymore. and instead of going for the simple route of pretending like her being hip with the youths is still true, he instead opted to entirely replace her in that role with a new Swag Teen
love to see the sharks doing pride night correctly - by still wearing the pride jerseys during warmups and simply outing the one homophobe on the team 👌
he has a right to not wear a pride jersey, and we have the right to know that he’s a piece of shit
