Toys are a personal thing, and kids (adults too) are very attached to the toys they choose. Didn't Toy Story 3 teach us anything?

I knew it was only a matter of time before the real Dr Phill appeared. The real Dr Phill is associated with a social consertive TV network called Daystar which is the home of anti-gay televangelists, plus Dr Phill McGraw allegedly used unethical business practices in a gym business early in his career, that he was allegedly abusive to his first wife, and was also allegedly abusive to his staff. There was a reason why Oprah kicked him off her show.

Kids are kids. Shouldn't we give them a chance to be kids and have fun and enjoy a childhood the way they want? They have plenty of time to face the cold realities of this world when they are an adult. Sorry DR Phil, you definitely got it wrong this time.

Struggled my way through Judith Butler's Gender Trouble and found myself loving every word of Loose End but I can finally say with some conviction that I get it now, especially considering the way my life is going-

"...treat me thusly. Based on how much respect you have for women. Whether or not you hate gay people. And how you feel inside about folks who, even when, forced into a gender box, refuse to close the lid.

Dr Phil is dangerous and irresponsible.

He should have the rest of his hair removed
It is no measure of health- to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
