Kids also have a need to get in touch with their spiritual identity...

Sure... that's why you deleted how many comments?

No?

In my world, the real world, yeah, it does.

Yup... you got nothing to hide... got it...

You, for one

In every way. You are clearly afraid of Christians.

I'm not a Christian.

So, you're justifying doctors doing harm.

Because cutting parts unnecessarily off of the human body is doing harm.

Look up the amount of "trans" who regret it afterwards or simply kill themselves.

It's not good.

I never said it was good. I said that children should not be doing that, I am not justifying doctors doing harm. Doctors do harm to the body all the time. Removing a body part for whatever reason causes harm, so is getting your appendix removed unnecessary? Why did you put trans in quotation marks? I believe people should have the right to be who they are. I’m not saying that it’s right to hurt yourself. Yes, trans people kill them selves, but so does every other group of people. In fact, there are a lot of people who kill themselves because they feel they were born the wrong gender.

Plus everyone has a right to their own healthcare. Whether a doctor will perform the procedure is up to them

False

"Research shows"? Really Octavia?

Now your posts have all the validity of a a drive by media / lamestream media news article when they say "according to sources" or "reportedly", right?

Serious question, have you ever considered providing some proof to back up the things you state as fact?

If you did, people might no longer dismiss all your posts out of hand as having no basis in reality.

What? Like??
Minneapolis becomes the first major U.S. city to allow all five Muslim daily prayer calls
A change to the city's noise ordinance ensures that the call to prayer, or adhan, can be broadcast from speakers year-round, five times a day.

Apparently every religion or belief, other than Judaism and Christianity, is just dandy to you.

Yup

Have a look at Canada, in Calgary Alberta the mayor is passing bylaws for protesters who oppose drag queen story hour or any other lgbtq event. If within 100 meters of lgbtq community zone and found guilty of offending in anyway, you face a 25,000 dollar fine.
I have a problem with people who pass laws based on irrational modern absurd beliefs.

Yet, those same people get a pass when they harass us.
Hypocrite

I just did, silly 😜

No law says that.
It’s the DA’s and MEDIA who either refuse to prosecute the offenders of laws and the MEDIA who defend those very same law breakers.

And
You
Damn
Well
Know
It!

Just people in general or a specific group or community of people?
It's a bylaw that is very specific and outlines "LGBTQAI+ community safe zones", the very same government using federal money to assist funding these absurd drag queen story hour events are using this community to target freedom of speech.

Whatever school did that is definitely responsible. Again, you are blaming gay people for the book, when you should blame the person, not the identity or sexuality.

Who is blaming gay people? Most of them are ignorant and don't realize they are being used and manipulated to push cultural war with division. This is a agenda, and is being played out on westernized front. War on religion, to abolish all faiths and use and plagiarize homosexuality as a political weapon.
No, I blame the perverse Marxist agenda and real people responsible and behind it. You and I are just little pawns having our social networking disagreement and contributing to feeding and fueling the culture war.

Give me some titles. Maybe some evidence to back up your claim. And also, YouTube videos and shorts are based on what you watch. You have nobody to blame but yourself.

My claim?...now I'm making all this up, you live under a rock or something or just believe all this is normal?
One book is banned in most states but he found in library here in Canada, book about young abused kid growing up and sexually frustrated and confused. Book has graphic illustrations dipicting oral sex with children, and book was removed after my brother bitched. Called Gender Queer Memoirs

Of course that should be banned. That’s not okay. It just happens that that book was about being queer. Now, if the same book was just about being straight it would be banned. The author is at fault, not the fact the book is about gay people

What about the fault of the school's for permitting a book like that to be accessible to children, who is responsible?

No. We are not trying to abolish religion. You may believe what you want, as long as you don’t hurt others. Gay people do not have an agenda. The agenda is representation, not destroying our country.

I don't think you understand, both sides are being played into this cultural war. Whether it's a drag queen escorted by police and funded by the government to read to children or Kid Rock shooting Bud Light cans going viral. It's unfortunate but it will only escalate and progress to worse, people on both sides of the political spectrum best wake up before it's too late. This isn't about diversity, inclusiveness and equality, it's about the illusion and using it as a weapon to control the masses.

Yet the law is completely stopping any lgbtq relationships, whether they are in books or in movies. For example, a book can say “me, mom, and dad went to the store” but a book saying “me and my dads went to the store” is prohibited.

Uh huh...yet when I ever I turn on the idiot box I can't go without 15minutes of lgbtq propaganda...can't even watch a sports game without it in advertisement let alone the game itself.
The book nonsense is because of clowns slipping in adult graphic literature into children's school libraries. I know first hand, cause I seen the books my nephew brought home last year...very disturbing and perverted to have in children's school libraries.

So by your logic, telling kids about their personal life (such as having a significant other) is also grooming, even if they are straight?

You're there to teach kids, not to share your personal documented life with children. My teachers never felt the need to share their personal lives with me, they did thier job.

Ironically you are the one who seems to be out of touch with reality. They are not silly men, they are normal people. You see, we live in a world that allows people to be who they are. You can personally not sign your kids (or lack thereof) up for drag story hour, but they should be allowed to exist without your input. You are making it out to be weird that somebody wants to be surrounded by children, but what do you call teachers?

You mean real teachers or the ones who preach on tik tok about coercing children to saying they're gay or trans by providing their so called "safe environment" of perverse indoctrine?
Teachers who keep their sex life at home and don't project their personal sexlife in the classroom are teachers. The rest are as you stated earlier "groomers".

Okay, is having a gay relationship in a book grooming? A book you read to class?

What is so important about incorporating queer and personal relationships in the classroom?
When the age is suitable for sexual education then relationships and sex can be discussed with teachers if consent is granted by parents.
When I was in school, we had sexual education at an appropriate age in junior high school. It was discussed and dealt with in that class, if you had other personal issues you discussed with a counselor. You didn't go to library to have a man in a dress read to you, nor did your teachers disclose their personal marital status or sexual preference with the class...lol

Okay, that makes sense. I just believe that everyone should be equal in the eyes of everyone else. But you are right, this constant war between the two parties needs to stop

Yes, exactly my point. We should encourage children that feel that they are in the wrong body to see a person who can help them express themselves. Personally I am not trans nor do I like drag but I think it should be allowed to exist

So not only are drag queens positive reading encouragement and healthy wholesome entertainment for children, but they're also gay and trans guidance counselors?
Wow, that is quite the pedestal and credentials you grant these esteemed colleagues of the adult entertainment industry. And such a positive and healthy reinforcement they can impact on a child's life.
Seriously pal...DRAG ON!

They are not adult entertainment. If you opened your eyes and actually looked, you would see that the drag story hour costumes are no more innapropriate than Cis women’s outfits. It is healthy to tell children that they can be who they want to be. So, as you say, DRAG ON

Why would I wanna check a female costume on a grown man who wants to be surrounded by an audience of children?
Children don't need to be coerced into another adults fantasy world because that adult is not comfortable with who they really are. Children remain children and will grow up to make their own decisions, not influenced by a silly man dressed in women's clothing behaving like an imbecile and out of touch with reality.

Drag queen story hour events are okay, I’m not sure what people told you but drag is just like a kid playing dress up.

Lol...doesn't say much for an adult figure role model reading to children portraying the opposite sex does it?
Do you think maybe playing dress up in a more admirable fashion and profession might be more appropriate and influential rather than the cliche drag queen adult entertainer?

Listen, I’m saying that drag story hour is not “absurd”. Being a drag queen is no different than something like a Halloween costume, and it’s just entertainment.

Children have Halloween cos play one night of the year, they don't need grown adults dressed as the opposite sex every day playing fantasy fetish to influence their behavior. Not health for the adult and definitely not healthy for a young vulnerable mind.

How is it healthy?
Not about right or wrong, especially when your codependent on your governments influence to serve the people.
Lol, oppress the LGBTQ people any longer...WOW, I hope you find freedom and solace from your everlasting chains of oppression while the rest of the westernized world has to be tortured and tolerant of coerced ideologies brought on by their ridiculous government.

So you understand that your argument is not factual, so you continue to say “drag on pal” like a bumbling buffoon? Alright, I get it, you’ve exhausted your brainpower for the day

You do understand that telling people “hey, this is okay, and it isn’t bad” isn’t brainwashing. You know what is? “All of these people are groomers and are terrible”

No approval here...DRAG ON pal!

I’m sorry, who said drag was a fetish? Are you that brainwashed? It’s literally just entertainment

Lol...yeah, I'm the one brainwashed pal...drag on!

I get that you are trolling, but to answer your question, a guy in a skirt is reading to kids to show them that being trans is okay. A lot of children feel they were born in the wrong body and then sometimes hurt or kill themselves. This is to tell them at a young age that it is okay to have these feelings.

No, majority of people are objective to grown men dressed in women's clothing reading to children. However it makes for a nice gas lighting culture war and a political tool for division.
Alot of tax dollars being wasted on such absurdity. I'm pretty sure there is a more appropriate way to deliver the 'woke' diverse and inclusive indoctrine without using adult entertainers to read to children in libraries. This nonsense is 100% intentional and is unhealthy for everybody involved.

When you legally impose laws and fines that impose and breach morale beliefs of the many to satisfy a few...it is intentional and purposely done to create chaos and deliver more order. The so called oppressed are being used to oppress the many. It's a political agenda being used on the westernized front.

You think that's what the government is doing with these laws and continuing to fund these events?
They are protecting the LGBTQAI community from harassment and enforcing equality?

No you don't have to, because it is brought to your community funded with your tax dollars. And it is no longer your community because you cannot object to it without threatened by fines.

You mean like Thou Shall Not Kill?
Or Thou Shall Not Steal?

Your question brought them up, silly.
Ta ta … I am done for now.
You’ll get more opportunities to try to bait me again tomorrow.

I never said one way or the other… however, I am quoting from Exodus 20, from the Bible.

Okay, whatever.
