Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this?

I mean a dose of realism and honesty from parents is a much needed commodity these days but this is too much. Especially if the kid has proved so much dedication for an activity I think he or she deserves praise for only that to start with. Also I think comparing your kids with others’ kids is quite problematic as well and opens the door to a life long trauma of excessive self criticality and too much perfectionism.

Thank you so much for saying “he or she” in your comment. I know it’s extra work compared to just saying “they”, but this is necessary work. Together we can make trans kids feel unwelcome 💪

  Here you go, it is rarely useful to make assumptions about people’s intentions on an online platform though

  They fixed it, now can you fix your attitude. Being a particularly rude dickbag doesn’t support your point like you think it might.

    Don’t you know that kind of language is offensive to Marxist-Leninists!?
