Cowboy wisdom, raise a democrat's child, they will never know

the irony of gender in schools vs school shootings, the repugs only care about gender, no effort in stopping school shootings- hey its a great fund raiser, right?

The reason schools shouldn't have to tell parents about choices like that is because there are still a lot of still a lot of abusive parents who will disown a child over who they are

Also directly teaching a child about "democrat hypocrisy" or pretty much anything political without the parents is something more commonly known as "exploiting a childs cluelessness and gullibility to get them on your side of an argument without putting in any effort"

Wouldn't the "abusive" parents notice somewhere along the way of little Jimmy's secretly coached and guided "transformation" into little Jenny that something is up and "disown" him just the same?

You do realize you are defending the very conduct you are wishing to defeat...don't you?

someone's gender or sexuality ISN'T poitical.

and also in case you didn't know, there's this little thing called "keeping a secret" that can help someones abusive parents from not finding something like that out. (and you pttuing abusive in quotations in quotation marks does not make you look very good.)

I don't look good?

And here I got all gussied up and slicked my hair back and everything.

I disagree with you 100%.

One hand: talking to kids about homosexuality without parental permission is NOT, and I quote you - "exploiting a childs cluelessness and gullibility to get them on your side of an argument without putting in any effort"

Other hand: talking to kids about politics without parental permission IS, and I quote you - "exploiting a childs cluelessness and gullibility to get them on your side of an argument without putting in any effort"

You just defined "grooming"

Too many lost already, apparently.

No longer true parents everywhere are joining school boards and kicking the woke activists out. Like everything, Dems over played their hands and now the world is pushing back.

Any school that holds anything back from a parent is guilty of child abuse and should be charged as such.

If you think something like a kids gender shouldn't be exclusively the kids business to share with their parents (especially if they will react extremely or if they don't know how they will react.) you are encouraging child abuse and should be treated as such

People like you that think that way are why children commit suicide. No child is born trans, most are the result of an abusive parent or an adult in a leadership role like teachers that pushed the idea on them. The suicide for all youth is bad but much higher in the trans community. No child is ready to make adult decisions, pretending they can do so is abuse.

People like you that think that way are why children commit suicide, and then you say it's the parents fault since they acted like a sane person and let their child make decisions about themself and then you act like you aren't invalidating your identity and saying they will commit suicide because they are trans.
the "being trans is bad because suicide" is shallow and ignorant, there is no denying it. especially with the copious amounts evidence that transitioning and having support reduces the risk of problems like depression and suicidal thought.

and how is knowing one of the most fundamental parts of your identity an adult decision?

At least you admit to being a child abuser, most do not. The I was born this was BS was debunked years ago, the trans that returned to their former selves have become some of the best role models for children confused by adults. The hard truth is medically altering children is dangerous, abusive and hard to correct later in life. When I hear "trans" I hear "fake" I am not alone in this. A trans anything has two major problems, lying enough to convince themselves and demanding the rest of us lie with them.

I have a little girl at church that wears little animal ears everywhere she goes by your I was born that way BS claim, should we cage that child? After all she knows she was born an animal.

The few children at our church that tried the this is my pronoun BS because of pressures at school all quickly tossed that BS out when we took the time to explain to them why it was wrong to make such life altering decisions so early in life. Those decisions should wait until your brain has matured.

One of the counselors that left the gay community behind was really helpful, thankfully all the children resisted the BS and are living their best life's now. The oldest one has completely cut of the abusive mother that pushed it on her just so she could be the proud mother of a trans child. Well, her child is grown now with a child of her own that the abusive grandmother will never meet her.

Before you blame religion and pitch a childish response, everyone is welcomed at our church, we just protect the children and let them grow naturally.

When was people being born trans debunked? I have never heard of that.

using detransitioners as an argument against trans people is just blatantly ignoring reality, the reality being that only around 4-1% of people who transition go back and the very large majority of those are because they wanted to wait until they have more support to transition or being nonbinary. (it is also worthy to note that the numbers I know for the total amount of people who detransitioned is outdated and the real number is probably much lower)

how is a little girl wearing animal ears comparable in the slightest? She is literally just wearing what she likes.

I like how you didn't even say that they changed their pronouns from what they were before, you just said that they were stating what their pronouns were, which is about as mundane and insignificant as you get.
and even if they did change them completely it is still not a very big decision, it's just them trying out what is best for then. and if they didn't like it, they could just go back, which according to you, they did.

And the "this child had an abusive parent who pushed the trans on them and tried to make them trans so they could brag about it" story just feels like there are so many details missing, like what the mother did, or how they got out, since how you described the story being "this mother let their child know that they will love them no matter what tehir gender choices are and the child thought that was abusive since they watched 2 pragerU videos when they were 8 and left their mother on their 18th birthday with out explanation" is just as likely as it being "the mopther chased her with a cross with the trans flag on it and beat her with it while chanting "make mommy proud, become a boy"". and you folk have a tendency to lie and make strawmen to argue against so I have to take everything with a grain of salt.

I do not play the show me the evidence game, no matter what I post people on the left seem to have a favorite place(s) that is the only evidence they will accept. I found examples to back up my opinion, you seem smart enough to do so too, if you want to see another perspective.

I am glad that you shared, I have not changed my mind at all, but it was interesting to see how you tried to justify something I see as one of the most horrific forms of child abuse. The irony of people that would never arm a child because they are not old enough to handle a tool that could kill them, will let the same child medically alter their bodies and then demand that others accept that as a right, that one will always amaze me.

I do not think it is possible for us to find common ground on this issue. My examples were based on my experience with the few trans people that crossed my path. what you do with that knowledge is up to you. You claim to have had a different experience; life is like that. Neither of us have the ability to change the others opinion. On this topic we should part ways and agree to disagree.
