Is that you Leroy?

Imaginary friends (also known as pretend friends or invisible friends) are a psychological and social phenomenon where a friendship or other interpersonal relationship takes place in the imagination rather than external physical reality.

In which article of the Constitution is that covered? Missed that somehow...

The 1st amendment freedom of religion. One can have a "relationship" with an imaginary being that grans wishes (prayer requests) and is going to take them to live forever in the sky and it is seen as normal if it is called religion. If a person says that the have a "relationship" with a pink unicorn that grants them wishes and is going to take them to a city in the clouds they will be called crazy.

Same imaginary friend belief, different outcome based on how many people share the delusion.

I knew what you were referring to. I was just having a little fun.

It isn't really "freedom of religion" btw...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Either way, what's this about pink unicorns and being crazy? I wish I could show you my friend Pinky!

Never heard of trans-species, that's a new one.
This person need a better psychiatrist, not more plastic surgery. That any doctor would participate in allowing someone to mutilate their bodies due to their mental illness is simply reprehensible. I hope "it" eventually gets the help "it" needs from qualified medical professionals.

But is there really anything to say besides that?
Conservatives bring attention to things like this because they enjoy criticizing and degrading people. Any time they can dish out snide remarks directed towards those who are different it's a good day for them. And to think they are currently actively seeking to destroy the civil rights laws under the thinly veiled "religious freedom" movement.

Not sure I would go as far as all that (but close). I have noticed that conservatives very often will take that one exceptional story and blow it all out of proportion to suggest the story is the norm rather than the exception. Like the person on welfare driving that brand new Cadillac, clearly demonstrating how social assistance programs are nothing but fraudulent give-aways to support worthless lazy-do-nothings.

What better proof have you got over those stories when you really haven't got the truth of these matters on your side?

You have to admit the dragon is far from keeping up appearances with hygiene.

And?

It can do as it pleases. It is not required to dress, act, look, or behave as society deems proper.
