blooger is a dinosaur

ya! isnt it? all the cool kids are on medium these days. Blogs used to be written by regular people who put their thoughts down like in an open diary. It was pre cancel culture and pre viral days. A bit safer to say things. Internet was still kind of new, and desktop was still the main portal to internet , not iphone. 

I guess now we have twitter for sharing thoughts?! Its not the same as long considered thought but who has the time for that?!  and it is perfect for small screen.

I used to like blogs and enjoyed the next blog feature to discover random blogs

It was deprecated long ago, then I thought blogger is going to die. I m surprised, blogger is still alive :-) I was surprised when my blog turned 10 and still alive, now its 12 years. 

Sometimes I wonder if I should make it fully private,  Its not safe to express your thoughts these days and my blog even tho hardly anyone reads it, seems to be crawled by search sites .... 

Emperors new clothes

Are some of the girls who call themselves Transgender sexist?!

Hope they are all young teenagers, these people on reddit - who say they are transgender - trans men  because they dont like pink, because they feel they are not like other women, They like gaming, or because they are funny,  all the above and so on.

They are not only calling themselves trans, they are also diagnosing others - Oh that girl is trans because I felt the same before I came out etc! 

Because someone does not fit into the gender roles in the society - they label themselves trans!? They are not liberal or progressive, but they are steeped in stereotypes and they are sexist

 If you were black and you didn't like Jazz, would you call yourself trans white? (actually this is a thing, where some kids are shamed and called acting white when they defy stereotypes , so this is not isolated to this case!)

I wonder if these are people who are troubled teenagers with mental issues, Sure there are plenty of people with real gender identity disorder, but I am sure there are lots of confused young people who are calling themselves trans and nobody calls them out because of cancel culture. Nobody wants to tell the emperor he is naked for obvious reasons.

boyfriend?

Husband - This word has so much gravity and weight to it. It means something important. Fiancée does not do too badly. But boy friend?!? Its the same word people use to describe relationships of 11 years olds! For Gods Sake! 

Then 30 40 60 year old ppl have relationships with "boy friends"! They have children with their "boy friends". They dont believe in marriage which is fine but why is that relationship you have been in for 15 years and have 3 kids with - called the same name as a 2 week old juvenile relationship!?!  Why is a grown responsible working man, father, partner called a boy!? or a Friend even?!

LOL! Wrong no?!

I understand marriage is religious, for some it is too regimental, dont want to follow the rules of the society bla bla I am not even going there, but please! a better more worthy name for adult partners please!

ps: Same goes for girl friends and no capitals on purpose.
