  • Being “mentally much younger” is not an excuse to be an asshole. I’ve personally known five and six year olds who understand quite well that some people love and marry people the same gender as themselves, and also accept being corrected on whether someone is “he,” “she,” or even “they.”

    Bigotry isn’t natural, it’s learned behavior you can accept and reinforce through your responses to her, attempt to correct, or simply judge her by and decide whether or not to continue involving her in your life.

    (If Ella isn’t capable of matching the mental age of a toddler, the help she needs is probably beyond your ability or responsibility to provide.)

















  • Breasts aren’t like peeing where there’s a bladder linked to a single tube that can be forced to let things through backwards. Milk production is anatomically very similar to sweating, where fluid generated in clusters of small glands soaks out through tiny pores in the surface. Imagine a part of your skin that gets sweaty, and pressing it up against your mouth trying to blow air back in through where you sweat. It just would not work out that way.

    There are various types of technology in development for needle-free injection of drugs, and they work on principles of generating a lot of force in a tiny area to shove stuff past the outer layers of skin using more direct pressure than you could generate with your mouth and breath.
