Just saw a few headlines from MSM about Alabama making a law denying “gender affirming care” to trans youth. I hate that term and there has to be a caring but firm person who tells these people I understand you may feel a certain way but it’s not reality. I don’t see why telling them they can’t make life altering changes til they are an adult is a bad thing. I’d feel horrible as a parent if I pushed this on my kid and they had serious regrets at an older age and I think in the coming years we will see that.
I was already tired of the inordinate amount of lgbt content before the trans thing started and was also tired of being told I’m a homophobe for going with what the Bible says despite explaining that I’m not going around bothering anyone.
I do wonder with trans stuff have they pretty much run off any expert who doesn’t go along with the delusion?
I have to admire how good leftists are at manipulating words. They are entirely evil but very skilled, well it does help that republicans suck at it and allow leftists to get away with twisting words.
"gender affirming" assumes that gender is the one the person wants to transition to, that is correct and there is no doubt about it and only needs affirming because it is correct.
It allows them to provide medical treatment to trans without even taking in to account the possibility that it may be better to help them deal with their dysphoria without having to take hormones or puberty blockers and have surgery.
And the last part "care" makes it sound so good.
Chemical castration and body/child mutilation are more appropriate terms.
They have no framework to employ to disagree with this. They embrace the idea of "liberating" individuals from their own society, which will include "gender norms," and they can't go bio-essentialist because of the racial implications.
I agree I really wish these people would get care. But like you said they are determined to push the agenda
