Error messages are slowing down my Monday MyLotting. What are you up to on this sunny and cool Monday?

@TheHorse Tonight I write and the words pop up later it is crazy. The myLot issues of all type continue but the water is back and I am glad. I never realized how not having water could be so traumatic I kept imagining having to dig a well and having to bring buckets of well water but I guess that was in the ol days,

@RasmaSandra Glad you have water. If we didn't have a mountain spring at my Montana cabin, we'd be doomed.

I wonder why it's bouncy. No water would suck. What did you do?

That hits too close to home. My husband was. I could only deal with it if I didn't know.

@just4him Do you know WHY he developed this interest relatively late in life? I have tried to imagine what it would like to be a girl, but I'm quite happy being a boy.

@TheHorse Yes. His mother kept telling him he was supposed to be a girl. It was purely from an inheritance standpoint of special heirlooms that went to the girl. So, it's all her fault.

I don't mind as long as my post gets in. Nothing I can do about it if they chose to be transgender. I mean we use to have a popular singer who wasn't enough being a lesbian became a transgender as well. He's living his life from what I can tell.

One of my questions is: At what age is a child able to make those kids of decisions? I say let the kid be a kid.

Sunny and still chilly here. A good day for hiking, actually.

Error messages have been the story of my life on myLot today. So frustrating. Yet I continue to grind away when I can. I'd play catch too. Any gender can toss around a football, no need to judge in that sense. Just have fun tossing the old pigskin around.

No errors so far here in my end. No opinion about your second question but if it was up to me, I'll let her be.

@TheHorse that could be tricky but if the boys soccer team lets her play then fine and well.

S/he wants to be on the boys soccer team, etc. I just dunno.

I think let the child be themselves so they will be happy in their life. It is their life let them live it the way they want.

Overall, I agree. One thing my friend's GD/GS did early was refuse to wear a shirt. In the US, that's fine at home, but not always expected, say, on the soccer field (if you're a girl).

We had a transgender friend, we are liberal, people must be free to be what they want to be.

I agree! But at what age can children make a real decision about this kind of thing?

Hope the site got better for you. I am not sure that at 10 they truly know what they are. Labels are often forced on people too much I think anymore. But except for that, she should be herself.

I didn't get any error messages today but it was extra slow loading the pages so I rebooted my phone and that seemed to do the trick. I've been here and also watching a sci fi series from a roddenberry book. I mopped a portion of my kitchen floor too. The rest will get done tomorrow.

@TheHorse my ulcers are better this week so I may hold off on my kitchen floor even though it needs it or I may do it Fri instead since I did something else on Tuesday.

Sounds like you're being productive. I'm still not sure if I'm visiting my friend and his grand-kids today or not.

@JudyEv I've spent my entire professional life trying to be "gender-neutral" when working with kids. In fact, getting girls to "like math" and getting boys to "express their emotions" are a couple of my overarching goals. And I teach everyone how to play catch, starting at about 1 1/2.

I get error messages often after I spend all this time. Writing a post and selecting a picture. Poor kids, they're too young to be thinking about being transgendered!
