Honey just sort of crystallizes and turns solid but you can still dissolve it in stuff, and it tastes the same.

Some don't~

... though I think it may just take bloody forever, I'unno. Had a jar of tupelo honey sitting in the cabinets at home that sat in there, liquid, for over a decade. If it hadn't been ate (because even after a decade of sitting there, it still tasted fine), I imagine it would still be sitting there, uncrystallized, waiting. Watching, with its tiny little dead bee eyes. 'Cause there was a dead bee in it the whole time, which is why I never actually ate any from that jar. Didn't bother some of the other folks in the house, though.

Where do we draw the line?

Biologically, I believe--while there is no accepted term in the scientific community (..really? No specified term?)--that the line is drawn (..in context I guess) with the chromosomal origins-by biological status. The discussion on extra chromosomes however should be in another thread (I doubt they belong in the sad thread, because I really don't think its something to be sad about-I am unsure whether there are people bad enough to harass those who are with that kind of condition). The notes you refer to pertain to primary and secondary sex characteristics attributed to either gender--yet I think you're missing a few details. Note ahead, people aren't born with a complete (mature and functional) set of both sex organs. Sorry, but that just doesn't happen in humans. However, that said, intersex people are born with a mixture of male and female tissues. There are dozens of intersex conditions that range from ambiguous appearing to invisible.

Next, gender identity is a separate issue entirely. Intersex people, just like everyone else, identify as male or female. Gender identity is centered in the brain. Suggesting further personal research on the matter there, Allee. ;P It'll help. Also Gender =/= Sex.

However, psychologically-what the person chooses in full knowledge of his or her choice to be known as, is also acceptable if he/she knows the full scope of what he/she is claiming; an informed choice, that is to say.

In other words: You've arrived at a whole number of intersecting tangents that they'll soon form a circle when fully discussed.


PPE:
You..never removed the bee. The whole time. o_o
Anyway: Sads.

Parents are away, and my puppy is shivering from the cold. It's lonely at home now. Just me and my pet. :/

Get blanket.
Put it on puppy.
Optional: Stay under blanket with puppy.

Problem solved!

Read back a bit and you can tell the person in question has been trolled into the flamewar, but seriously. You have a religion. Congratulations. Go find a thread for it.
Sick of threads being derailed and tanked because of one person.

That derail started in a real subtle way... And I took part in it! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...

I told my crush that I had a crush on her, and she basically said no. Normally I'd expand upon this a bit, but I really can't bring it up at the moment...

I read something wonderful today.  I am sad beyond words that despite it being logical and intelligent, I predict that it will go unheeded. 

PDF warning.

The responses to Q00-07 and U00-09 are of particular note.

So much yes. Not everything is a illness.

[kaijyuu]

Wait, is that thing saying ADHD isn't an illness?


I'm... very distressed that some people would think that.

[Frumple]

May just be saying that ADHD like symptoms shouldn't be considered illness by default. Or maybe wanting a more precise word for it, I'unno.

[Dutchling]

ADHD, schizophrenia, being bipolar, depression.

These people must be in the killing multiple birds without using multiple stones business :v

In addition, we have serious concerns about the widespread use of the ‘other’ or ‘not
otherwise specified’ categories, which, in this context, appear to exacerbate all the
problems of labelling with invalid diagnostic labels.

It appears to me that the issue is lumping ADHD patients in with everyone else who fits "other," not that ADHD is or isn't a condition.

Ah, that's relieving.

Sometimes it's hard to parse these extremely formal (and long) things.

[Dutchling]

From what I understand, it's mostly:
"remove the 'and other' part from illnesses",
"stop calling everything that's not culturally accepted an illness", and
"somebody requiring (professional) help that does not make him/her, by definition, ill"

Also so much copy-pasta o.o
