Yup. As someone who grew up in a conservative Catholic community, I recognize all the signs — including what they do to apostates. It’s not any different. |
Unfortunately, MAGAs seem the be the only ones who remember tomboys exist just as they are. They seem to be the only ones who want to let little tomboys run around and be themselves without being medicalized, without having to adopt religious beliefs about their tomboyishness, without having to be put on medication with very little evidentiary support. I say that as a Harris voter. I have no idea why the Democrats have gone down this insane cult belief path, but we will not win so long as Democratic leaders are pledging allegiance to people who want to medicalize the existence of tomboys. |
This isn’t rare. Stop the gaslighting. Anyone with kids in school and who is involved with what those kids are learning in school knows how much you are lying. |
You might just not know about it. Mine have been exposed to this. Many districts have adopted this. Count yourself lucky if yours hasn’t |
I have kids in school and aside from teachers telling kids to respect other kids that might be nonbinary or trans, there has been ~zero~ mention of anything gender related. And this is in DC and in MCPS, two wildly lefty areas. |
"Exposed" means what, in your experience? Provide the specifics. |
Ok. MAGA now you’ve intimidated all the transgender people back into the shadows. You won. Why are you still whining about it? |
There have been a number of Fairfax County School Board meeting discussing this and voting on policies that they teach about it and support it. The resistance has been from the occasional parent who speaks less than 2 minutes about it during their "citizen participation." It was a topic during the Family Life Education curriculum approval. The School Board appointed a trans woman to the FLE committe, and they also have several gay rights activists on the committee. This is documented. |
1. This thread was started by someone pearl-clutching about Nancy Mace, not a MAGA. 2. Multiple deep blue states controlled by Democrats are suing to continue medicalized transition of children. I have no idea why the Democrats are going down that anti-science, wildly unpopular, cult-belief path, but they are. 3. Your hysterics are noted. |
This is baloney. |
Please link to the policies that support "it". What is "it"? What activists? What is FLE? Who cares if a trans person is on it? |
My kindergartener was read this book, by the teacher, to the whole class: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_T-eGrBpxAc |
Nancy Mace is rude and brings shame upon the office she holds. No one should speak that way about their constituents. I’m not interested in worrying about what families are deciding in private. The government needs to get out of medical decisions. And I’d be willing to bet that any parent whose child is dealing with this stuff is doing a lot of thoughtful research and having serious conversations with their child and doctors. Who am I to judge? I’m not remotely hysterical. I just think MAGA seems unable to move on from its overwhelming and blinding hate. It’s incomprehensible. |
There is (or was) only about 10 transwomen in sports to begin with and most of them were not even dominating their sport and were being beaten by biological females. And no, they didn't "cheat women out of scholarships" either. As I recall Riley Gaines was one of the top activists out there, she was on a crusade against Lia Thomas after competing in 200m freestyle. But Lia Thomas didn't win that event and in fact didn't even place in the top 3. And now we've made getting these 10 transwomen out of sports the biggest most important thing on Trump's agenda - At the expense of mass shootings At the expense of a drug epidemic At the expense of skyrocketing food and housing and medical costs At the expense of EVERYTHING. You win. Everyone else loses. |
good lord, the woman going an about how 'cis' is a religious slur is NOT hysterical? please. Children, to the extent that they are getting any gender affirming care, are doing so with a ton of doctors and with parental approval. Those people are not in a cult. They are doing what has been felt best for their children. Get out of other people's business. Your obsession with children's genitals is noted. |
