As a mentally ill person, I say: Your mental illness is not your fault, but it is your responsibility to manage. Your mental illnesses can cause you to make mistakes and treat others poorly, and you certainly deserve some grace and understanding when you f**k up (as all humans do). But that doesn’t let you off the hook for the behavior, and it doesn’t make the recipient of the bad behavior the bad guy for setting boundaries or calling you on your behavior.

From an elder Gen X: Gender reveals are ridiculous. "Let's have a party for everyone to celebrate a baby's genitals" As someone who grew up in the 70's and learning about women's liberation I would not think people would be still so attached to the whole pink/blue clothes,toys, etc.

Historian: "Truth" is always relative, dependent of the perspective of the truth-teller and always constructed in some capacity. Every source must be subject to critical assessment.tacosandmore reply
I'm a translator. Sure, maybe you don't like my rates, but I assure you that your relative who spent a semester as an exchange student in Spain will not deliver quality work. Maybe you know a second language, but translation involves techniques more complex than knowing how to order a beer in Spanish.Butterjoelni reply

Hey Pandas, What Social Stigma does Society Need To Get Over?
“Cross-dressing” So what if a boy/man wants to wear a skirt or dress, paint their nails, etc. Who cares? What makes it feminine is society labeling it as feminine. Pants were once considered masculine and women had to fight for the right to wear what they want. And if it is feminine, who cares? Why does it bother you?

Teens. WE'RE NOT ALL A******S, GIVE US A BREAK. "You're so nice for your age" this can f**k right off. It's not as big a compliment as you think it isHey Pandas, What Social Stigma does Society Need To Get Over?
Being ‘pro-choice’. This refers to a woman’s right to choose whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. Fundamentally, a pro-choice perspective does not prescribe how a woman should feel about her pregnancy; rather, it allows a woman to make up her own mind. A pro-choice position supports the idea that a woman has the right to choose a termination should she decide she wants one. It is perfectly feasible to hold that perspective and still maintain that you would not want to make that choice for yourself.

Polygamy. As long as the people getting married are of legal marrying age, they should be able to have any relationship they want. There is no reason for polygamy to be illegal and/or socially unacceptable.
