I admire you're fortitude in the face of all these conundrums and proudly support your support for supporting your recently detransitioned parakeet.

Thank you, sir. I'm just happy she's living her truth, man. I'm going to contact "O" Magazine and see if they can do a profile on her, or maybe Lifetime can do a TV biopic on her or something.

My parents once bought me a fish. Everyone kept telling me it was a male fish, but because I wanted a female fish so badly, I gaslighted everyone in the pet store and said it was "a girl." I mean, I was only three at the time and he ended up dying about two weeks later so...

Whatever you do, resist the urge to take or post photographs of the baby birbs.

Why?

Well, because those will - in due time and at the proper juncture - be redefined as trans-species child pornography... because they will almost certainly be nekkid as a jaybirb, as I believe the saying goes.

You are really lucky I'm here, because thus far I am the only commenter who will let you in on the secret (which will get you off the "nekkid baby-birb porn" charge)... BIRDS AREN'T REAL.

Birds are like "New Zealand" and "rear delt raises"; they were made up by internet activists in 2011.

Serious. NZ is a completely fake thing, invented to stop escapee Yanks from buying the nice bits of Samoa and Tonga... redirecting them to a patch of open ocean so that they drown and provide food for the local TANIWHA.

I should know: I am an All Blacks supporter. [meta-kek]

'...the Humane Society staff — a suspicious number of whom wear rainbow-pride paraphernalia"

Yeah, the next time you're in Colorado check out the Humane Society of Boulder Valley. The entire place and its staff are so festooned in rainboweries that it looks like a Yugo-sized bomb made of indelible rainbow-paint exploded in the main lobby.

I can only imagine. Colorado was great until the Californians swarmed in and ruined it.
