    I am cishet without experience here. This is what I would do. Might not be perfect, but most things is okay if there is lots of good intentions and love 😊

    I would be honest. You are allowed to have feelings and be conflicted. You are however not allowed to make this about you. When talking about it, be careful and sensitive. Anger or denial should be suppressed. Talk to someone else if you feel that way. Your role is not to stop it, but to stay close and be loving. Do not ask too many questions about “Are you sure? Maybe its just a phase? etc”. Your long term relationsship depends on how you handle it. Handling it perfectly is less important than showing lots of love and support.

    “I support you and love you no matter what”

    “i might not react or handle everything correctly, but want to learn and support you”

    “Does this mean there might not get grandchildren? If so, that’s a shame, but not the end of the world”

    “I am unsure how I can help you make the right decisions for you going forward, is it okay if I suggest seeing a therapist to help you navigate this? Not to stop you, but just to help you find out what you need.”

    “You can talk to me about anything, I might not always understand, but will read about it and try to educate myself”


  • Theres nothing better, they have a monopoly. Everything else is going to be a huge downgrade.

    So to ease me into something that scratches that itch, I am asking for alternatives. Something interesting I can learn from during breakfast with my wife. Unfortunately alternatives are not great, they all lack something vital. Biggest issue is too few creators. So using Grayjay connected to different other platforms can maybe cover some of the need.











  • This is Indiana Jones, something I watch purely for entertainment, its not very entertaining to watch him berate and belittle a overly hysterical depiction of a woman for a full length movie. It’s not as if this is the pinnacle of human culture, its a movie series made for entertainment. If my goal is to get a glimpse into how culture was earlier, then sure, but that is not my goal when I watch Indiana Jones.


  • Of course not.

  • Indiana Jones is a tough watch. Had to turn it off after 30 minutes or so

    Edit: Since a lot of people misunderstand me here.

    This is Indiana Jones, something I watch purely for entertainment, its not very entertaining to watch him berate and belittle a overly hysterical depiction of a woman for a full length movie. It’s not as if this is the absolute pinnacle of human culture, its a movie series made for entertainment. It still was an important part of the human experience for many. If my goal is to get a glimpse into how culture was earlier, then sure, but that was not my goal when I watched Indiana Jones.

    I loved Indiana Jones as a child, and wanted to introduce it to my wife as ENTERTAINMENT, not as an important cultural event that forever changed human culture.

    Sexism, homophobia, transphobia and racism was normal in older movies, and one should not dismiss old culture based solely on that. Many films are too great to pass up, Indiana Jones is not what I would prioritize to watch despite these issues.
