@stkirsch Yes. I've seen this happen first hand and when Esophageal varices ruptured in my patient. An absolutely horrific and catastrophic event which didn't end well for the poor lady.
@LottieHistory Just a thought but, throw around the term pretty, white, privileged, colonialist, oppressor etc etc for long enough then surely by identifying with a victimised group is a legitimate way to neutralise your former oppressor status?๐คท
If your child comes out to you as a pirate, you should celebrate! It's wonderful news that he's discovered his true self. Plus, his coming out means he trusts you with the privilege of knowing something sacred and ineffable he discovered deep within himself.
Make sure he feels affirmed in his identity by swiftly offering to schedule the soonest available appointment with your friendly neighborhood pediatric surgeon.
After all, how does the small cost of eye and hand removal surgeries compare to a lifetime of happiness living as his authentic identity? It's really a big fat nothingburger, so don't make it into a big deal!
Most of all, be sure to ignore any haters who try to make you second guess your child's identity by talking about how piracy is "trending," or even worse, "contagious," like some sort of illness. Rest assured, social context has nothing to do with your kid's innermost sense that he needs a hook-hand! Child psychiatrists agree: he surely discovered this from a deep well of Truth within his precious wise old soul.
#ProtectPirateKids
You didn't ruin your life kiddo
You had it stolen from you
By butchers and liars
Prison
Is the least
They deserve
Unforgivable
And all you silent "professionals"
Are enabling this horror
You pathetic cringing cowards
I'm embarrassed to share a profession
With you
"Therapists"
Why have so many New Atheists fallen for the hocus-pocus of transgenderism? For years these godless bros raged against irrationalism yet now they support a cult that rejects science and mutilates the young. They are an embarrassment, says Brendan OโNeill

I know which group I'd probably prefer to be extracting the raw material that goes into powering my car and luxury items. Save the world or save the children? Tough decisions.
