20250329 – Gender Versus Sex – Kurt’s Religion and Politics
You may think it’s reasonable to use these ideas interchangeably. Permit me to strongly disagree with your doing so.

The long and short of things is this. You can say there’s no “perfect formula” to dealing with children (and to some extent, you’re correct in that). Even so, there are things you can (and probably should) do if you want to be successful in doing the job of parenting. I think I’ve stated my…

You’re my telephone service provider? What do you suppose I want you to do? How does, “your JOB” sound to you?

In short, when somebody presents him or her self—fact checker or not—as some sort of oracle, you should politely decline to accept him or her in such a role.
