Sorry, I can't do that until the American trans health community learns from Europe that they went too far, that medical interventions for children should be extremely rare and only in the most severe and thoroughly analyzed cases.

But we don't know upon first meeting. I feel like I'm in an Abbott and Costello skit. And for the record, for the two people who identified as trans that I knew in my daughter's HS, I used their preferred names and pronouns du jour. (I say du jour because at least one later changed back to a boy. He came from a crap home life. Reference our earlier scientific discussion about experience/environment influencing gender). My concern, like Jordan Peterson's in Canada when he first rose to fame, is that this devolves into "hate speech" legislation, when we've just established that there is no way to pre-identify what a person wishes to be called.

This has nothing to do with my post. Otherwise, good job, good effort.

Airlines will raise prices to account for the added costs. Unintended consequences, a liberal's worst nightmare...

Isn't it presumptuous to call a man dressed as a woman, a woman? Drag queens, for instance, typically identify as gay cisgender men. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-things-lgbtq/201801/the-psychology-drag https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rupaul-explains-the-difference-between-drag-and-being-transgender_n_56d73496e4b03260bf78f317 How are we supposed to differentiate the two, and more importantly, why should we be expected to? @The Real timschochet, @squistion, you are our resident experts. Please help us out. TIA

Awesome! And she has a nice outback.

@squistiontells us that not every trans person has gender dysphoria. I personally think that makes them fake trans, but that's just my intelligent opinion.

According to Google it's also International Guide Dog Day. For some clueless execs, they probably serve the same purpose.

We're having a good discussion about things to do there, tard. Go post videos of Biden sniffing hair somewhere.

Great contribution seafoam, thanks!

Thanks, I was thinking similar. Maybe a drink, maybe just walking around/shopping, depending on where we are, then an early dinner.

I wouldn't pay playoff prices to watch a Coyotes game, so... no, but thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the recs. Wife and daughter definitely want the Met, as do I. I proposed MOMA and got shot down. Besides, the Met and Natural History are more than enough traditional museums for such a trip. I'm hoping we can mix those two with some nice weather so we can walk there through Central Park. We did the bike around the park last time, which was fun. Washington Square Park is by NYU, no bueno, see my OP. Our Tommy show is at 2PM, prolly too early for dinner right after. We are generally early eaters, but with the time change we probably will stick on somewhat of our original time zones, since NY is a later kinda place.

Or... call a timeout

No. We plan on renting a car just for two days to take out of the city. Which reminds me, I should look into that.
