Too many of our generation seem to lack principles. You should be strict when it comes to deciding a life partner. Divorce is expensive. Some of my principles are health, honesty, and freedom. I believe a lot of porn/kink/trans shit being pushed is not healthy, and while one may say "but people should have the freedom to do it", I don't think doctors have the freedom to encourage something that they know is not healthy, as that goes against the physician code of ethics. It's for that reason we don't perform lobotomies anymore, and people did think lobotomies made patients happier at first, but that's because being dumbed down to retard-level intelligence makes anyone appear "happy". No one argues in favor of "protecting the right to a lobotomy". HRT makes one euphoric, it's a drug, and I don't mean "I'm so euphoric because I'm myself", it literally boosts your mood chemically, and then once the reality sets in, a lot of trannies actually kill themselves post-surgery.
Other applications of my principles are that I believe we should strongly defend our freedom of speech, which I view cancel culture as an attack on. And I don't think we should have all the cancerous chemical additives we have in our food. Raising a child with a "live and let live, do whatever you want sweetie" attitude is how you end up raising terrible children, see Chris Chan for example. Discipline and maturity are good things. You should instill good values in your children and have good values yourself. I used to think boomers were being extreme when they called our generation "too soft", but I've been realizing lately that they're not wrong, we are. You cannot protect anything without a dislike of that which threatens said protection.
