With the welcome sign also being in French and with the settlement of NH having French connection lineage I would have to say poutine!

Brings a tear to my eye

Oh well if you and the clergy agree it must be true.

Please explain how pronouns are a ritual. Rituals are ceremonies or rites. How can a word be a ceremony or rite? Be specific. Site examples of pronouns being used as a ritual, since you apparently know the last 5000 years of religious history.

pronouns can be used as a religious ritual and this case is. I've spoken with a lot of NH clergy who agree

Just because you say it doesn't make it true. Pronouns are not a religious ritual. They are words we use in place of someone's name.

You obviously have difficulty with simple comprehension. I’m old already and not going to be involved in this fight when it comes, I’m a baby boomer who quite simply believes that my generation and also those born between 1960 & 1975 have made huge investments in tearing this country apart while almost no investments in trying to make it better. All of the generations following will perhaps have somewhat diminished lives and opportunities because of the simple self indulgences of the persons born from 1950-1975. You may not wish to see it or hear it, but that doesn’t change, we’ve been takers, not made many sacrifices with of course the exception of Vietnam and most of us think we’ve lived good lives, we all lived on the coattails of the generation that won world war II.

Brittanica's is a very mainstream definition. Words have meaning. If it checks all the boxes then it can be properly called a religion.

No. Everything could not be called a religion.

It's psychotic now? LOL

the pronoun thing is a ritual. The related belief system checks all the boxes of a humanistic religion.

My argument isn't semantics. Words have meanings. If people here say itsnotitsnotitsnot then I get to demonstrate how it fits the definition.

By your very loose understanding of the definition, and reality, anything could be a religion.

It doesn't interest me because it's a psychotic take and this isn't a straw man because it's an observation not an argument. You stated it's a religion which is clearly false by all common definitions so using your niche bias definition to play semantic dodgeball sounds awful to me. No thanks.

I'm mainstream in real life NH. If you think I'm odd then maybe you should get off reddit, leave the house, and talk to someone.

I did make a good argument. In comparison itsdumbitsdumbitsdumb seems weak.

It's relevant because parents may want to know if their child is taking part in the rituals of a different religion.

You claim it's the worst take, but your analysis is really shallow. It's 2 straw men.

Another person asked my definition of religion. I provided one, and then demonstrated how this belief system checks all the boxes. I don't want to continually have the same conversation here, so please read that if it interests you.

I think it's also important to bring up that you haven't failed as a parent just because your child tells a teacher about their gender identity before you. There are a lot of different reasons they might make that decision.

But you're definitely a failure of a parent if you reaction to finding out after-the-fact is getting enraged and demanding a law to compel the teacher to tell you before your kid is comfortable doing so.

I guess NHPR doesn't accept Tyler McLaughlin identifying as a woman...cool...

The logical part is parents want a bill of rights, but also want to strip parents of their rights to raise their children, if it doesn't conform with their moral compass.

This is the worst take I've seen in a long time. It seems your position is that "pronouns are religion". I would encourage you to examine why you frame things this way because from my point of view it means you only see the world as "my religion is default and everything else is some other religion" which makes you sound delusional.

I like the part where you addressed the logical points that I made. That was my favorite part. Great reply thanks for making no sense at all.

Yeah the rents are killer. It's hard to tell whether renting or buying might level out being better in the end with these prices.

Perfect, thank you!

Did you know that you were a girl at 6? Did you know you were a girl that likes boys at 6? Does it bother you that someone that presents as male would like to be called Miss ? Have a seat ma'am

Then why bring up that it goes against “1000 year old religions”? Since by your own admission that shouldn’t be a factorn

Thanks!

When your kids grow up a little and get some experience out in the world, and realize what a horrible person you are, you’re going to be lonely in your senior years after they’ve cut you out of their lives.
