Lowensda Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I would never do this. Saw that this morning. For those without a backstory, guy bought a second hand parachute, never been skydiving and taught himself on Youtube. He couldn't afford the plane, so "tested" his chute out from off his balcony. Clearly the wife/daughter is very distressed by the situation. He cracks it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Parent Kori Doty - a non-binary transgender person who identifies as neither male nor female - aims to allow the child to discover their own gender. The health card has been issued with a "U" in the space for "sex", which could be for "undetermined" or "unassigned". Kori Doty is fighting to omit the gender from the birth certificate. The parent gave birth to Searyl Atli in November at a friend's home in British Columbia. Kori Doty, who prefers to use the pronoun they, argues that a visual inspection at birth is unable to determine what gender that person will have or identify with later in life. The family's lawyer, barbara findlay, who chooses to spell her name without capital letters, told Global News: "The assignment of sex in this culture is done when a medical person lifts up the legs and looks at the baby's genitals. But we know that the baby's own gender identity will not develop for some years until after they're born." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40480386 holystove 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
