George Takei Compares GOP Opposition to Transgender Procedures for Children to Japanese-American Internment During World War II
Breitbart ^ | August 21, 2023 | David Ng

Star Trek actor George Takei has compared GOP opposition to transgender medical procedures for children to the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

In an essay published Monday in The Daily Beast, he also wrote that these “dark forces” are similar to what “led to the horrors of the Holocaust in Europe.”

“I have seen where scapegoating, if left unchallenged, leads. And it is a very dark place,” Takei wrote. “And I am alarmed that the fearmongering and hate, particularly against the trans community, are just the beginning.”

Takei was interned as a boy during World War II, his family uprooted from California on orders from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration and sent to live in a camp in Arkansas.

In his essay, Takei argued that the scapegoating of Japanese-Americans is happening all over again, only this time the target is LGBTQ+ people — specifically, those who want to medically transition children.

More ominously, and in the name of “protecting” trans kids and in defiance of all expert opinion, politicians at the state level have banned critically necessary trans medical care, leaving desperate parents and families without alternatives. It was not only ignorant, but it was also deliberately cruel. And it is leading to untold suffering for young people already burdened with the weight of successfully transitioning. They are a group that currently suffers the highest rates of suicide among teens.

Takei’s apparent motive for writing the essay reveals itself in the final paragraph.

“In 2024 we, and our allies, must vote as if our lives depended on it—because they do,” he wrote.

Does the spaced out groomer even realize that it was democRAT Frankly D Roosevelt that put those Japanese-Americans in internment camps?

I believe Sulu, Chekov, and Captain Kirk are the only ones still living.

It’s no secret... it should be obvious... but to the perishing, it is folly.
Judgment is coming a LOT SOONER than most people think.

“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.”

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

“For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

Relevant excerpt of Takei's essay.
"More ominously, and in the name of 'protecting' trans kids and in defiance of all expert opinion, politicians at the state level have banned critically necessary trans medical care, leaving desperate parents and families without alternatives. It was not only ignorant, but it was also deliberately cruel. And it is leading to untold suffering for young people already burdened with the weight of successfully transitioning. They are a group that currently suffers the highest rates of suicide among teens.

I have seen where scapegoating, if left unchallenged, leads. And it is a very dark place, indeed. And I am alarmed that the fearmongering and hate, particularly against the trans community, are just the beginning. I know this because it was how it started with us, 80 years ago. First, the editorials. Then the brutal, restrictive rules. Followed by the ire of our larger communities, which ultimately turned upon us.

America is not somehow immune from these dark forces, the kind that led to the horrors of the Holocaust in Europe. Indeed, we have a long and terrible history of bringing the full power of the state behind the very laws that separate, discriminate, and punish based on differences in race or sexuality."

This clymer Takei justifies child mutilation because opposing it leads to the child mutilation and torture done by the Nazis. Brilliant reasoning.
