- Comment on 51-year-old man here; would I be a creep if I went out on a date with a 30-year-old woman? 13 hours ago:
It’s not creepy. But I could not imagine dating someone who is close in age to my adult children. It’s weird.

You really shouldn’t comment on the content of a video that you purposely have not watched. It comes across as smug and ignorant. Veritasium videos are well researched, and he does his best to not sensationalize. To suggest that he would promote pseudo-science is absolutely laughable.
Do better.
- Comment on Uber to introduce fixed-route shuttles in major US cities designed for commuters | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
Allow me to dismiss this out of hand. How would the people even get access to such transportation? Some kind of point of gathering where they could collectively enter or exit these “pods”? Dumb. While we’re at it, and just for the sake of argument, these pods could go at significant speed since they’ll be on their own “rail“ systems (as you call them). This would dramatically decrease the travel time for commuters, but is of course ridiculous on its’ face! Best not to even consider trying such high speed “rail” systems. Back to the cars! ICE over the communist “EV”!

It’s ok, you can say Reddit.
- Comment on Generational differences 3 weeks ago:
On the real tho, when I worked retail at a printing/shipping center, a guy came in and started puffing on a weed pen. It was so fucking annoying having to talk to, and eventually kick him out of the store, because he couldn’t wait to do that shit outside.
I’ve smoked and vaped PLENTY over the years, I’d never use cannabis in a place of business. The fuck is wrong with people.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 weeks ago:
That’s really nice to hear, but I’m tired of waiting to find someone that cares for me as more than just a friend. I recognize that I likely will never find that.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 weeks ago:
I want someone to marry me again someday. I want someone to stand in front of my friends and family and profess their love and devotion.
I gave up on that dream a couple of years ago.

My mom made no such effort, and gave up on calling me Jessica a couple of years ago. I’d cry my eyes out if she had sent me what your dad sent you. I know that she loves and cares about me, but she also refuses to see me as how I truly am. It’s such an odd experience, hurtful at many times. But she also bought me a car last year, and has offered to help me bridge the gap when I was off work for 2 weeks due to an injury. In spite of her non-support, I love her dearly.
What I’m getting at is that familial relationships are nuanced. Give your dad some credit for taking the time to research what being trans is about. Of course there is more to it than just the medical side of things, but he is trying.
Your age also factors into this as well.
My stepfather made several transphobic statements while he was alive. If he was still with us, I’d bet his conservative worldview would have changed a bit. I still hold him in high regard, because I know that he loved me and just wanted what he thought was best.
TL;DR: Family relationships are hard, and it seems like your dad is trying.

Without knowing the nuances of OP’s relationship with their father, it would seem that dad is trying. That text sounds like someone who did a lot of research and is trying to show that they cared enough to read up on the trans experience. Whether that leads to acceptance is something only OP will know or at least have an idea of.

Come on now. Having therapy should not be a requirement, but it should be encouraged. When someone has the courage to come out as trans, it can be a very difficult time. Having a professional that helps people who experience gender dysphoria can be a life saver. How many trans people have to go it alone in the beginning of their journey? If they have the means, I’d recommend it. Just reading studies or participating in trans spaces, for some folks, is not enough.

Literally nobody in the trans community cares about this topic until conservatives discovered it was effective.

- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 4 months ago:
My son and I played COD Mobile. Domination at Shipment before my dad arrived. We just got these two assault rifles gold, and we started the grind to diamond. It’s a fun game, without having to pay to win to enjoy.

- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 7 months ago:
From the article:
However, there will be some who argue that these emulation handhelds – which often come pre-loaded with hundreds of games without paying the copyright holders a single penny – are legally dubious at the best of times, and Nintendo is well within its rights to try and shut down any outlet which promotes them.
That is absurd. The copyright holders make nothing regardless, as the games are not for sale anymore.
Switch emulation is definitely up for debate. But hardware and games that are no longer made? Come on now…
