The other board would have been much more upset with me.
Is this all you have?

I’m not opposed to “hall passes.” I doubt I’d be able to execute on one. But not opposed, as a matter of principle.

Who is more unhappy? The people in the NYT piece or childless Jemele Hill? People in NYT. Jemele gets to dunk on and pwn cons and Trumpists all day every day on social media. |

The funny part of this is that it's the LGBT+ community that is pissed with the polyamorous trying to justify their lifestyle as an admission card to their oppressed minority group.
Trans folx are literally being set up for genocide, and the Times is writing puff pieces on rocket scientists, who have a Ph.D. and work for Raytheon.

I can't wait to start referring to my wife as my nesting partner.
Ryan Malone, 37, a chemist who has lived on and off in Somerville for six years, said that he knows hundreds of people who identify as polyamorous, through his extended social circles. Mr. Malone, who has been nonmonogamous since he was in college, currently has a nesting partner, a long-term partner, two long-distance partners and a kink-based relationship with another person.

I agree. I'd also guess that this childless bunch of over educated, non-binary, folx, who don't have a stable relationship, are also mostly unhappy, and are on more anti-depressives than the public at large, and certainly more so than married, cishet couples with children. Just because they call it “Busch Light” instead of “Paxil” doesn’t mean real, non-faggy ‘mericans aren’t on anti-depressives. I mean they may not be able to afford Paxil, but if they're looking for cheap anti-depressives they may wanna go for Majorska or Smirnoff rather than piss water like Busch Light. |

Anecdotally the one person I know who was in a "thruple" might be the least happy person I know, and was least happy when she was in that arrangement. (She was pretty pleased with the idea that she could identify as LGBTQ+ though.)

I'm a college-educated, not-ugly, not-weird standard-issue midwestern white dude, and it was a chore for me to get dates, let alone shacking up with four ladies at once who are all signed onto the deal. |

A. I totally agree with you. (I also have the same reaction to violent felons, who always seem to have a girlfriend.) 2. I'm not sure Ryan is dating cishet women |

I believe the kids would respond to this with "Skill issue." |

Does anyone believe this stat? What research indicates it, and why didn't the Times link to it? According to some research, about one-fifth of Americans say they have been in a consensually nonmonogamous relationship at some point in their lives. Dating apps like Feeld and OkCupid have made finding like-minded people much simpler by allowing users to list nonmonogamy as a preference and to link their profiles to those of their partners.It’s the Falwell influence. Good evangelical Christian leadership in action. |

My wife and I both work in Deploraville (The Villages). It's stupid for my wife's store to have a Pride section, but they do every June. Not because of "employees' safety," but because the stuff DOESN'T SELL here.

Let’s assume this teacher is wrong. That his argument is wrong. But isn’t his larger point correct? Liberals love to reach a conclusion, refuse to argue how or why they reached the conclusion, and then want the rest of us to accept their conclusion as settled science. A perfect example of this is our friend oop ’s conclusion of bad gender dysphoria is not a mental disorder. He’s absolutely sure if this, and would take issue with anyone who said it was. But he absolutely can not tell us how he reached this conclusion. He can’t site even an article in the news or a study he read to explain what shapes his reasoning. He knows what it isn’t, but can’t tell us what it is. And if you ask him to explain, you’re a bigot. I see you are constructing yet another argument with building blocks of bullshit. You have shifted the discussion from being transgender to gender dysphoria and now to "bad" gender dysphoria, whatever that is. Despite your lies to the contrary, you clearly do believe that all transgender people suffer from a mental illness. Own that and maybe we can have an honest discussion. I doubt it because honesty really isn't your thing, but your take in this area is particularly distasteful. Given that you admit that you don't know enough about it yet you have drawn that conclusion, yes, I do believe your opinion is driven by bigotry. I'm not talking about everybody. I'm talking about you. Debate is outdated. Arguments are not welcome. Facts are ignored. Only the narrative will be rewarded. |

No, his larger point is not correct, but man, you just love the guy stubbornly arguing against the very existence of transgender men and women. |
