When my son was three my mother and father took him to Disneyland, he was riding on the motor boats with my mom turning the steering wheel and saying "damn a$$holes, damn a$$holes" to the boats in front of them. It's never too soon to teach good driving skills! :silly: :silly:

I had never seen a tranny either, except for in my cars drivetrain, then in 1998 I was working at UCLA where our company was hired to complete the punch list of a fired contractor. We were warned by the superintendent that there was a 'person' named Patricia that was the universities assistant maintenance supervisor and we were not supposed to stare or say a damn thing about 'her' going in the ladies room. 'IT' was ugly! Even as a man IT was ugly and we all made damn sure we were never in the same place as 'Patricia' for the next four months. While I had never seen one before and few over the years since, up until the last few and suddenly they are everywhere. What happened some sort of cosmic fart that suddenly cxreated all these freaks?
It has been popularized in media, and now is the 'in' thing. Of the kids claiming they are 'trans' it is likely a significant number are submitting to peer pressure or hiding behind a 'protected' class label. Unfortunately, there is a predatory aspect for the kids who are sometimes being treated with drugs or surgery which will change them for life.

Before, I just recall a few guys who would dress as women on Halloween...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I don't understand it, and I never will. I take it it is generated by culture, primarily in the city, where folks are so separated from the natural that they don't know which bathroom to use. It ain't here, to speak of. It might be in town a little, but I don't know about it... Shoot, I ain't hardly met but three gay folks in my whole life.... All of that flat don't exist around here.

I wonder all the time about the weirdo sh*t that goes on in the cities.  :shrug:

In 1963 you could get all of that for a buck, provided you got the nickel sized candy bars.

In the mid-late '60's my parents would hand me a dollar, I'd go to the movies, and have enough change left to get sick on cokes, popcorn, and candy.

I remember before cameras Thrifty Drug Store put large angled mirrors on three walls so they could watch customers, some of us kids took it as a challenge and would borrow as many items and return them with a derisive note in the morning. We didn't do it for long, not being too stupid.
