@NonSheepDana@thatgirljo_ Also, the child probably wanted to call her mother hours before she actually did-- she likely already had her character moment of doing the thing that was difficult. If you are assuming that no learning took place, I think that's an assumption in bad faith.
@NonSheepDana@thatgirljo_ Sometimes children have no possible way of understanding how to solve the problem, because they have never experienced anything like it before. This is what a parent is for, to keep the child safe and mentally well as they get the experience they need to solve problems later.
@Bundescanclerin@thatgirljo_ Still, the child probably wanted to call her mother hours before she actually did-- meaning she likely already had her character moment of doing the thing that was difficult. It's a bad faith assumption that the mother and the child were simply seeking instant gratification. π
@Bundescanclerin@thatgirljo_ This is not a healthy way to think. Picking her up enables the parent to have a conversation with the child about how to navigate this situation another way if they were to choose to try a sleepover again. Mom can discern whether it was unsafe for other reasons than lack of sleep
@Bundescanclerin@thatgirljo_ When you apply social pressure by implying the parent or child is weak for regrouping, you become part of that problem, whether you like it or not. Besides, sometimes parents can't afford to second guess their instinct for protecting their children. It's not coddling.
@Bundescanclerin@thatgirljo_ Maybe you and all your friends got lucky but a majority of the people I know report either adults or other children taking advantage of their bodies; The isolation from parents and the expectation that the child will not reach out to those parents is what enables the abusers.
@RomanaFirst@EchoesOfMoods@yogastephy I don't trust that you have been in a lab that tested them when you have misunderstood several things now that have been posted clearly, and misunderstood the results of the allergy studies you have read. You are clearly reverse-engineering your reasoning to support your feeling
@RomanaFirst@EchoesOfMoods@yogastephy HEPA filters like the one the original poster is talking about are completely harmless and almost always beneficial. Many are designed to run quietly. Even if it doesn't protect you from sickness entirely it will help.
Allergies also just don't work like that. π
@thescrunglymaid@fjalar_ In that case increasing the dose makes sense, a better doctor would be doing that. A better doctor isn't going to be starting people out on the doses I'm talking about here :P Most people do adjust sensibly but some def do not. Sry if my wording is poor, language is difficult lol
@thescrunglymaid@fjalar_ for sure, in that case- I'm more referring to people who both think they know better than the individual doctor but also disagree with or are unsatisfied with the general knowledge or study of HRT.
@thescrunglymaid@fjalar_ Medical care is a bit less wacky where I live so most here get their doses adjusted after 6 months or so and usually by a year changes have started and there are noticeable effects. Adjusting your dose after you've been on it for a bit and know how your body reacts to it is fine
@GeneNLeslie1@DrSarahAxelrath You say "principles," but those principles are neither consistent nor rational. As someone who grew up dealing with all the issues "females" deal with, frankly, using "women's safety" as an argument against trans people is absurd.
@GeneNLeslie1@DrSarahAxelrath That wasn't the point of the post, but whatever. As always, you must insert your exclusionary philosophy wherever you can, with as many vague references to "women's safety and comfort" as possible. Despite the fact that none of this has improved the actual safety of women.
@DrSarahAxelrath She told my great aunt "Oh! Well, good for him!"
She got the non-binary thing too, but that was less of a factor for me. My great aunt explained that my great grandma had never been told what to think about trans people, but it was really easy for her to understand the concept.
@DrSarahAxelrath My great grandmother, (82) had absolutely no difficulty at all when I transitioned. She saw the change in my appearance, asked my great-aunt about it, and when she was told "oh, he just realized that he's a man, and [name] is his name now"-
She had no problem figuring it out.
