Another book mentioned on this thread is Gender Queer/ ?
Ive read the review of it and cannot see why its target audience should not read it. Young adults and teens.

It sounds like a coming of age book and might be of help to young people who are coming to terms with their identity.

Of course if you believe that sexuality is a matter of choice then you will not accept that but we cant have society organised to mollify stupid people.


It is surely more beneficial than the various types of sexual activity they can view on their phone whilst in church.

When you exist to smash stereotypes by becoming one




You people are deranged retards

Pleasing deranging people is not an easy task.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

I wouldn’t ban a book solely because it featured a trans kid, would you?

Yes. Kids don't need to know what trans is. That's a sexual behavior.

Like I said earlier, if Democrats ran a Blockbuster, they'd mix in gay porn in the children's section.

You prove my point.

Pronoun fines and jail time for librarians: Republicans target LGBTQ+ rights with new laws

More than 100 laws targeting LGBTQ+ communities have been filed across the US as attacks persist

North Dakota seems to be a problematic place. Are they really going to send librarians to jail for stocking dirty books ?

This seems to be absurd on a taliban level. It seems like the argument has moved on from protecting the kids to protecting the adults. What sort of libraraies will these places be ?

Will Librarians be expected to read every book on their shelves to protect themselves ? I would if I was threatened with a jail sentence.

Libraries are places of learning. Where we go to learn about the world. This bill seems to be the antithesis of that aim. These people are bringing shame to America.

You should be happy when people get fined and arrested for free speech after all it's regular occurrence on your little Island.

I dont think its as bad here as it is in the states. Your politicians are mental. Ours are just shit.

We don't arrest people for mean posts on Facebook you do

 

[Coyote]

Yes. Kids don't need to know what trans is. That's a sexual behavior.

No it isn't. Is being straight a sexual behavior? Trans is just someone who believes he was born in the wrong gender. Period. If you think it requires sexually explicit descriptions...or is sexual behavior, well that is on you.

Like I said earlier, if Democrats ran a Blockbuster, they'd mix in gay porn in the children's section.

Nothey wouldn't. That's just Republican Porn Projection Syndrome.

You prove my point.

It's easy to prove a point that is ultimately pointless.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

No it isn't. Is being straight a sexual behavior?

Yes it is. Children shouldn't know what "straight" or "gay" is.

Trans is just someone who believes he was born in the wrong gender. Period. If you think it requires sexually explicit descriptions...or is sexual behavior, well that is on you.

Beliefs change over time. What makes a woman a women? What makes a man a man? A belief?

Nothey wouldn't. That's just Republican Porn Projection Syndrome.

It's easy to prove a point that is ultimately pointless.

Do you support a child being 'trans" and getting "gender affirming care" (aka sex change)?

 

[protectionist]

Your “majority” has never been silent, let’s nip that lie in the bud, ok?

What LGBTQ “rights” are you referring to?

I didn't refer to them as "rights". It is leftist supporters of them who say that.

As far as I'm concerned, they absolutely shouldn't have the right to be anywhere near children (schools, boy scouts, sports teams, etc).
Their best right should be the right to be examined by psychiatrists,

 

[protectionist]

Nothey wouldn't. That's just Republican Porn Projection Syndrome.

Not according to THOUSANDS of parents all across America, who have protested CRT grooming lunacies, at school board meetings. One could get away with terms like "Republican Porn Projection Syndrome" before the pandemic, but not after thousands of CRT classes were broadcast on the internet into kids' computers in their bedrooms.

With this in front of the eyes of parents, who for the first time got a big reality check of what had been going on in the classrooms that they previously were unaware of, things have changed.

 

[Coyote]

Yes it is. Children shouldn't know what "straight" or "gay" is.

A child sees a couple that is a man and a woman. A child sees a couple that is a man and a man or two woman. We normalize it as one of the many expressions of a human family. To that extent a very young child understands with there being any element of sex.

Beliefs change over time. What makes a woman a women? What makes a man a man? A belief?

Depends on who you ask.

Do you support a child being 'trans" and getting "gender affirming care" (aka sex change)?

Not until 18.

 

[Coyote]

Which I do. One of my wife's grad school friends has a kid that is Trans.

What we don't do is humor them with any of their nonscience based silliness.

Acceptance is humoring?

 

[westwall]

Acceptance is humoring?

No, if some declares they sexually identify as an attack helicopter you do not accept, or humor that.

 

[Coyote]

No, if some declares they sexually identify as an attack helicopter you do not accept, or humor that.

I feel sorry for the kid.

 

[westwall]

I feel sorry for the kid.

So do I. They need help. Not enablement.

Ban books, imprison librarians, strip women of their rights, set up bounties to turn in friends and family, report on your neighbors, create government 'trans registries' held by the state, use the state to punish the businesses to disagree with you.

That's the modern GOP way.

 

[Jessica-stormlover]

I wouldn’t ban a book solely because it featured a trans kid, would you?

I think trans people should be taught about and our society should respect them. It is a biological reality for the people that are forced into it and making life harder for them isn't right or fair. I wouldn't teach normal people to be trans as that is the opposite and bad for them but the few people that are I truly believe it is an issue of human rights and treating people as people.

They're only small government when it comes to rich dick! They'll let their butt buddies the rich and elite do what ever the fuck they wish but us little people must walk a narrow line! What a sick belief system.

And laughably, they ask us to trust them that they would *never* dissolve same sex marriage, criminalize interracial marriage and interracial sex, outlaw contraception, or criminalize homosexuality.

I mean, they promise they'd never do it *again*.

You do realize that you are agreeing with a Stormfront neo nazi.

Right?
