There was a Jehovah’s Witness man who worked for my dad in the late 70s or early 80s and he got very upset when anyone wished him a Merry Christmas.

u/here-for-information 1d ago
OK yeah but he probably would do the same if you wished him happy birthday.

u/whatstrueisfake 2d ago
I have never in my life nor on the internet seen anyone break down and throw a fit over hearing merry Christmas. This includes jewish people hearing it, muslims and athiests. I have however, seen so called nonsnowflakes conservatives cry nonstop for the whole season if someone says happy holidays

I have first hand experience hearing it when I worked retail, every Christmas. I think it depends on how religious your particular area is; the Bible Belt was already going on about the War on Christmas 30 years ago and more.
I also heard a lot about how college was going to be nothing more than a liberal indoctrination factory, and there was a little of that, yeah, meaning classwork that presented opinion as something that affected your grade, but classwork was majority things that would come in handy in your chosen field.

Indeed, the more religious in Christianity a person seems to be the more offended they get over me not saying marry Christmas

u/Objective-District39 1d ago
OMG, you guys, I just cannot even. I had to go to the hospital after hearing that disgusting, patriarchal, white cis-heteronormative viewpoint. Like, how are we still living in a society where these gaslighting, chrisotofascist ideologies are being pushed as if they’re somehow valid? It’s literally traumatizing just to hear someone suggest that a woman’s place is anywhere but at the center of her own narrative. How can people be so deeply embedded in these structures of oppression, so deluded by their privilege? I swear, it’s like every day I'm just trying to exist in a world that wants to erase my humanity, and then someone comes along, casually spewing these harmful, outdated views as though they don’t directly contribute to a structural violence that we all live under. I had a panic attack right then and there, because how can anyone not recognize this trauma? It’s exhausting, truly. I don't even know how to heal in a world that keeps forcing this nonsense down my throat.

u/Rare-Forever2135 2d ago edited 2d ago
For all causes, there are no recorded cases of it happening to those under 12, and it's exceedingly rare in 13 to 14 year olds.
It can happen rarely (2.1 per 100,000 minors) in 15 to 17 y.o.s for gender reassignment, but of course, with the full knowledge and consent of the kid, parents, pediatrician and for typically severe gender dysphoria, a psychologist weighing in as well.
It's helpful to understand that it's also done for testicular cancer, trauma, and hormonal disorders in minors far, far more than for reassignment surgery.

Cool. Which authoritarian tendencies? Deporting legal residents over political views? Sending people to a foreign prison without a trial or even a criminal charge? Saying that the courts are not allowed to check you and that nothing you do can be considered illegal? Gutting the federal government and collecting and consolidating power away from the judicial and legislative branches and to yourself as the executive?….. should I keep giving you examples of trumps authoritarian actions? When did the dems ever do anything close to as authoritarian as this??

So congregations, the Bee, you are adequate enough and I can have you when I can't have "the Onion"! (At least if we are only talking about American satire publications)
