@sinbach two books? Who's the woman to the left?
@StevenBerry I'm impressed! That's a long run! Exercising is a good investment and health insurance...😉
@sinbach me too!
About transgenderism in children. Parents and professionals are raising their concerns, since it's irreversible and the child is mutilated for the rest of its life (unable to have children, or to be fully a man or a woman). For instance: professionals are threatening parents with the sentence: "Do you want a dead daughter or a live boy?" (Or vice versa). But studies show that the suicide risk increases with transition - not that transitioning a child to the opposite gender is the only solution to identity problems/gender disorder. One documented side effect of puberty blockers is depression. There is no scientific evidence that 'gender affirmation therapy' is a solution.

@bethany right! Even if it's comedy, it's the (sad) truth!
@Berrybunchfamily thank you!
I have had a break from DD and enjoyed vacation. Our summers in the Nordic countries are bittersweet – beautiful and too short. As soon as the sun is shining, we want to get to the beach/be outside. In the southernmost city of Finland, Hangö (Swedish)/Hanko (Finnish) there are 30 kilometers (19 miles) of sand beaches. We were there by the beach at a Christian family camp for a few days. I have also been a leader at a scout camp, where everything was simple and done outdoors, including cooking on fire. We have had an unusual warm summer, so I think I have been more outdoors than indoors. Next week it’s time to go back to work, and I don’t look forward to the dark autumn and winter – except from the last part of winter Feb-March. Hope you all are doing well! (I will share pictures in several postings, since it’s possible to share only four pictures at a time).
@lynnexxa They should be here instead indeed!
@MaryMamuzich nice! 🍓
@Cherishingsparrows2020 well done! I had a 5 month break this year, and haven't been very active after that. I wish at least some of my relatives and friends would come over to DD. There are also restaurants and events that I only find on FB. It's frustrating. I would like to delete my account because of what FB has become and their misuse of power.
