The first thing Braiden Schirtzinger felt was the pop — like a bursting balloon.
A doctor had said today could be the day, and a Google search said exercise could help speed up the process. So here Braiden was, under a warm late-April sun shaded by oak and willow trees, taking a third lap around a suburban Virginia neighborhood, determined to walk out a baby.

Nope, it’s only getting worse.
Obummer was a mother, but not a woman. For that matter, so was Mooschelle.

Every time someone uses the pronoun they to refer to themselves, it makes me think of multiple personalities (DID-Dissociative Identity Disorder). The only way to create dissociated identities is to be the victim of severe physical and sexual abuse while a very young child.
No matter what we agree to, in order to be "tolerant", these mentally disturbed people will always attempt to take it "one step further."
There is no bottom with these people. It is up to society to stop it.
The verbal gymnastics required to report on these stories in a woke manner amaze me. I could never keep track of all the rules, which is no problem because I have no intention of ever trying.
