@bethany @tanjaostman if he went to live in N Korea, I'm sure he'd change his mind quick enough....

Which is the point isn't it? When faced with abject truth and reality, our feelings take their natural place - feelings!

@tanjaostman @bethany and there, right there, is the ONLY life defining change the need to make

Yes, yes, yes Tanja!!!!!!

@tanjaostman er...help.....this guy has £150,000 for surgery? How? Who?

I sometimes don't feel British .....But I'm very definitely British......I mostly don't feel British because I'm embarrassed what being British is becoming

I'm still British though

@tanjaostman me too 😎

@tanjaostman @StevenBerry and I beat you home....granted I was on a mountain bike, and did just over half your distance.....but that still counts😜 😂 😁

@tanjaostman the suicide thing is equally true with lesbianism and homosexually...affirming it does not reduce any [already existing] risk of suicide

(Keep thinking I'm about to lose my account with this conversation, then I remember that DingDash is an actual freedom of speech platform........)

@tanjaostman the food analogy isn't belittling it either, since gender dysphoria affects the same part of the brain as both bolemia and anorexia... back when doctors were happier to work with the actual truth, they lumped those three conditions together as they are all to do with an incorrect self-image

@tanjaostman yes. The increased suicide rate after transgender surgery is extremely well known and documented...ignored, too, sadly! As is the fact that the idea of being the wrong sex is very common during puberty, and disappears on its own if left alone if it does occur

Feelings are not facts...something hunger disproves every time we feel it after a big meal and spot the desert trolley

@sinbach

Start of lockdown "Masks are pointless because covid is too small for the mask to stop any covid particles"

Much later "wear masks so you don't catch covid"

I've personally no issue with masks stopping the spread...that makes sense and has been demonstrated plenty of times

Common or garden masks to stop catching it? Nope...just nope!!!

@sinbach Yep

Met up with number one son, on my otherwise solo cycle.

Grass was really tall, & tough to plow through with multiple, long, deep (feet submerged while pedalling deep!) puddles that were unavoidable, but fun to do anyway :-) low gear and keep those pedals turning!!

A very muddy bike when I got home, and I wasn't much cleaner. Great time though, and having a break with my oldest - in the middle of nowhere - made it all the sweeter as we shared energy tablets and had a moment to chat together

With a newly replaced rear wheel, derailleur, gear cable & outer, my 2nd hand bike is finally working as it should....funny what we put up with - in my case for 6 years, with bad gear changes and no confidence the gears will stay where they should!

Still, all sorted now - onwards.

New derailleur, and now a replacement gear cable and outer....and a new rear wheel (last wheel died just after fitting the new derailleur).....my MTB finally has working gears......first time since I bought it 6-7 years ago...looking forward to, God willing, gettng out in the morning with Jo, and quite possibly getting a little muddy 🙂

it's one of those days today! one load of washing went out on the line (blue skies, very hot, lovely breeze). Nathan brought it on and was utterly soaked before he'd done so

put the washing back out on the line (rather than carry on with the tumble dryer - since the washing was nearly dry) and Nathan just got soaked bringing it back in again

it's back in the tumble dryer, but not it's wetter than before it came out of the tumble dryer

who said British weather was boring?!?

@TakeN awesome...we live in the same house and yet I don't see half of what your eyes show you!

@jezzadiah4messiah I agree with lots of what you've said

But I don't, personally, think it'll be adults or youth that we're likely to see a great revival through

Cos I believe it'll be the most forgotten about group; 'the least of these'

I believe a great revival will start through our children

My heart and passion is ministering to children, so I'm biased in that way 🙂

But that's my take on the future...such as it is, since none of us can know the future ;-)

Thanks for this brilliant post and thoughts that you've shared - this is what I love about DingDash! Can't imagine that chat in Facebook or Instagram!!
