    With respect, I do think that there have been many examples of schools, courts, and child protective services-type agencies intervening in these decisions. But I totally agree with you -- they should not.

    Geez, that is a basic legal doctrine. People with professional licenses have a higher duty. standard of care n. the watchfulness, attention, caution and prudence that a reasonable person in the circumstances would exercise. If a person's actions do not meet this standard of care, then his/her acts fail to meet the duty of care which all people (supposedly) have toward others. Failure to meet the standard is negligence, and any damages resulting therefrom may be claimed in a lawsuit by the injured party. The problem is that the "standard" is often a subjective issue upon which reasonable people can differ.

    I generally agree, but there is a legal notion related to the "standard of care" that most licensed professionals are obligated to abide by.

    Cool. But as a lawyer, I would expect that you understand why minors lack legal standing (better said, capacity).

    I have no brief with you, Troph. Live your best life. But doesn't the idea of your boys making irreversible lifetime decisions before they are able to legally drink, smoke, drive, vote, or even get a tattoo trouble you a bit?

    IDK. I've heard recently that we should follow the science on difficult issues. Where does that come down on this issue? Thanks!

    Cool. And most prostate glands ovulate every 28 days or so?

    So odd that people show middle fingers to basic data.
  9. We just had a big oak limb fall on my workshop/shed. Fun times tomorrow.

    IDK how her particular situation would have been dealt with. The exponential increase in gender dysphoria diagnoses in the past 20 years or so does give me pause.

    Cool. Where is this failure to "have a discussion in good faith?" I responded to a "research study" posted up thread. Happy to discuss.

    You say it so nicely. Thank you.
  13. FWIW, my aggy 2-percenter is in formation to be a Dominican nun. No procreation anticpated!

    Thanks for the mention, but I am both a dad and a grandfather. My wife's grandmother took my MIL to the doctor when she was around 10-11 and wondered if something was wrong with her. She told the Doc that MIL didn't want to wear dresses, climbed trees, played baseball, and slugged it out with boys that harassed her younger brother. Doc told her to give it a couple of years and errything would work out fine. It did. She was a sexy mother of four. I'm thinking that she might have been a candidate for hormones and top surgery if presented to a physician today.

    Lobotomies were celebrated as a huge medical breakthrough in the 40's and 50's. Then reality set in. I predict the same fate for much of "gender affirming care" once these kids grow up.

    LBGTQ

    Thanks. I have no brief with adults choosing to live their lives however they want to. It's the kids getting caught up in "gender affirming care" that bothers me.

    Weird, huh? Diagnoses of youths with gender dysphoria surge https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-data/
  18. Assume that it is live oak.
  19. Some obvious defects at the base, but it shows why trees don't live forever. That tree will make a lot of good BBQ smoking wood!

    Very cool. But I'm also sure that it took a while for the adverse lobotomy claims to show up, too. But they will. This "transgender movement" is all nonsense wrapped up in a social media trend.
  21. From your keyboard to G-d's ears! 2021 ice storm was around a 10-year supply for my every weekend smoking habit.
  22. I'm out in the country near Liberty Hill. The live oak tree limbs are full of ice. We are likely to get some more BBQ wood on the ground between now and when 33 degrees happens. I am nowhere close to using up all of the BBQ wood that the 2021 ice storm gave us. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
  23. I told my kids that they could get their first degree anywhere they wanted to go without any college loan debt, except that all we would pay for would be the cost of in-state tuition at a public school in Texas. I ended up with an aggy grad (but a full 2 percenter, to her credit!) and an UNT grad. Both fully deployed into life and no college loan debt.
