Quora.com deleted: Why are so many conservatives bent out of shape about "cancel culture?"... and thus examples a reason as to,

.... while all cultures engage in censorship to varying degrees, rather than a formal system of jurisprudence and judgments based upon a codified system of traditional basic morality, to perpetually offended liberals violations of the ever-morphing values of liberalism (such as gender being defined by feelings, vs. biology) that have come to dominate most of American cultural institutions are increasingly not those of anything remotely resembling an actual moral offense. And which has often resulted in what author Anne Applebaum describes: “Instead of courts, they use secretive bureaucracies. Instead of hearing evidence and witnesses, they make judgments behind closed doors.”[1]

Most of the liberal cancel culture reactions are not actually objectively against racism or injustice in general, and is certainly not that of people boycotting a company for actual moral sins such as supporting the murder of children in quarantine (their mother’s womb) or persecuting those who oppose this or homosexual relations.

Which is exampled with colleges and corporations and the media (overall) and liberal governments unjustly targeting and censoring and punishing those who oppose the liberal ethos (which itself promotes bigotry, injustice and racism). Which was even seen years ago in forcing Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich to resign in response to him making a donation to CA Prop 8 and supporting other conservative issues.

And which extended even to severely, vengefully punishing Jack Phillips of Masterpiece bakery for refusing to be complicit in celebrating a immoral and illegal out-of-state wedding, [2]one that was contrary to his faith/the Bible[3] (opposing homosexual relations) as well as the highest law of the land, the CO state constitution at that time.

More recently, a survey of hiring managers found that evidence they found of a job applicant endorsing Donald Trump for president on social media was the number 1 reason to reject such.[4]

In addition, even when one inadvertently, or in a technical sense, utters a politically incorrect word or says something close to it then it increasingly “triggers” the “cancel culture” response network. Such as when:

When the news began circulating on social media, many couldn’t believe it was true––that the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California would remove a longtime professor from a class because a Mandarin word he used correctly in a lesson sounded sort of like a racial slur. …To some students, the Mandarin word, rendered 那个, sounded too much like the N-word for their liking. They sent a letter of complaint to administrators and pressed their grievance in a meeting. Soon after, Patton was removed from the class, investigated, and excoriated in a mass email…

Geoffrey Garrett, the Marshall School’s dean, wrote. “Understandably, this caused great pain and upset among students, and for that I am deeply sorry. It is simply unacceptable for faculty to use words in class that can marginalize, hurt and harm the psychological safety of our students.”

Scores of USC business faculty felt undermined by their dean––and many would only express their concern anonymously for fear of retaliation from students or administrators….

As one professor put it, the treatment of Patton is “farcical,” but part of a larger trend: “Fundamental values––freedom of speech, intellectual freedom, equality––have largely fallen out of fashion in most elite universities, including USC. This has created a climate of terror among faculty…”

The offended students next characterized the “burden” and harms that they purported to suffer. “Our mental health has been affected,” they wrote. “We would rather not take his course than to endure the emotional exhaustion of carrying on with an instructor that disregards cultural diversity and sensitivities and by extension creates an unwelcome environment for us Black students…Near the end, their letter invoked the names of two Black people recently killed by police officers…[5]

Other examples abound, with students - future leaders - being offended even by compliments or being simply asked “Where are you from?”[6] But it is this oversensitivity that leads to calls for the offended to be banished, “cancelled.“ Such even extends to believing that foreign food should no longer be called 'exotic' because it reinforces xenophobia and racism.[7]

Google itself has fostered the idea that even promoting being “colorblind” and claiming “All lives matter,” and saying “There’s only one human race,” fall under the category of "covert white supremacy."[8]

As is Dr Seuss.[9][10]And while Amazon and Ebay forbid the sale of some Dr. Seuss books yet they market Che Guevara.[11] and Mein Kampf.[12]as well as at least 204 examples of merchandise sold on Amazon that promoted violence, either toward President Donald Trump, Republicans or members of the police force.[13]

And of-course “illegal alien” is even censored, with the AP as well as the WSJ and the US gov. no longer using the term to “illegal immigrant” or such for persons who are in the country illegally in order to avoid labelling people [14][15] [16] Moreover, the crisis of March 2021 at the US-Mexico border is not to be referred to as a "crisis," since that would be a negative portrayal.[17] However, any and all persons who oppose homosexual relations - regardless of their rational moral[18] and or medical[19] reasons - are labelled “homophobic,” contrary to its actual meaning.

During Black History Month Amazon even removed “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” a documentary on the only black justice currently serving on the Supreme Court.[20] As of today (2–28–21) it is still “Currently Unavailable” on Amazon which refused to say why.

Some House Democrats even want TV carriers to cease hosting Fox, OAN, and Newsmax. [21]

Then we have other increased corporation censorship of moral views, like that of Amazon removing a book about transgender issues that had been on sale on the platform for about three years. “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment,” became no longer available on Amazon nor on its Kindle and Audible platforms, and the company declined to provide specifics regarding its decision, but broadly covers it censorship under such terms as “other material we deem inappropriate or offensive.”[22]

And a CNN reporter asserts that it is not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth,[23] while a Spanish policeman was suspended by Twitter for 12 hours after he responded to a news article and tweeted that men do not have the biological ability to become pregnant.[24] And then there college students who fault the classic tune "Frosty the Snowman" for failing to be gender inclusive.[25]

Likewise State University of New York (SUNY) suspended an education student from mandatory teaching programs for posting Instagram videos in which the universities inclusivity doctrine is violated such as by the common sense statement, “A man is a man, a woman is a woman. A man is not a woman and a woman is not a man.”[26]

And overseas Norway's parliament outlawed language that dehumanises LGBTQ persons (which perhaps could include using Biblical terms), which could result in a fine or up to a year in jail for private remarks and a maximum of three years in jail for public comments.[27] And then we have Muhammad being removed from a new translation of Dante’s inferno in order to make the text more “more pleasant and accessible.”[28]

Then there are other examples such as the Oregon Department of Education promoting a program for teachers that seeks to dismantle “racism in mathematics;” alleging that focusing on finding the right answer is a symbol of white supremacy;[29] and rejecting passing proficiency in math testing on the basis of this being a form of racial discrimination[30] [31](thus giving special treatment on the basis of skin color). Which new trend is consistent with the Iowa City School District promoting “Ethnomathematics” and “queer history” and exploring “Herstory” and ideas of intersectiionlity…[32] As well as teaching “Coming Out and Pronouns Days” for middle-schoolers, and teaching children as young as 5 that they can be “trans” and “non-binary.”[33]

Then there is Disney warning the Muppets contain 'offensive content' and which can only be seen on an adult account;[34] banning Peter Pan and Dumbo for those under 7;[35] wanting to fine stores $1,000 for having separate boys and girls sections.[36] And even using chopsticks fonts is deemed to be racist,[37] which talking about the Wuhan lab leak theory has been linked to.[38]

Next, there is Nancy Pelosi banning gendered terms such as “father, mother, son, and daughter, [39] and at least one NYC school recommending students stop using ('mom' or 'dad'),[40] and a professor at Aston University in Birmingham U.K. university is encouraging students to stop using such words as layman, manmade, mastercopy, civilization because it believes they have sexist or racist connotations, while a judged ordering the the arrest of a father after calling his biological female child his "daughter," and referring to her with the pronouns "she" and "her."[41]

In addition, the University of York canceled the three wise monkeys as being an oppressive racial stereotype. [42] Yet promoting the idea that white babies and toddlers are racist is politically correct[43] (for imputing guilt to a class of people due to them being born with politically incorrect skin color or nationality is considered correct).

Meanwhile, the Federal the Bureau of Prisons may house inmates according to their transgender status, and requires the use of gender-neutral communication for transgender inmates, and the providing of gender-affirming hormone therapy and medical treatment and psychotherapy as well as end-stage transitional surgery.[44] [45]

The (far Left) Washing Post promotes such teaching as that one should feel guilty for having a certain color of skin (deep shame for being of such color due to what many of that race in the past did regardless of those who opposed it, with whom you agree), and denying that any anti-racial culture exists among such race, and who are not qualified to teach on the issue since they are not affected by it - which racism the video actually fosters.[46] Meanwhile ignoring how the declension of the family of the race at issue[47] [48] with its resultant negative effects[49] [50] is ignored or denied as being mainly due to liberal ethos.[51]

Meanwhile now even bicycle helmet laws are charged with being racist,[52] along with soap dispensers,[53] while the term "quantum supremacy" should be abandoned because it shares a word with the term "white supremacy "[54] and requiring dress codes is also said to be overly sexist and racist.[55] As is flying the American flag (and such persons as do so are also dangerous). [56] Moreover, failing to give credit to creators of dance moves is politically incorrect (only) if the skin color of the creators is politically correct. [57]

In addition, under the “new normal” then even using the word “normal” is now to be avoided (at least in personal care products) since that is said to makes most people feel excluded. [58]Even the term “trigger warning” is on a list of words to be avoided, along with words such as “addict,” “victim/survivor,” “disabled person,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “rule of thumb,” picnic,” etc., despite some alleged connotations being dubious.[59] Meanwhile, publishing beef recipes is now on an excluded list under the premise of combatting Climate Change.

However, we have liberal attorney generals who believe that criminal charges are to be declined for traditional crimes such as wanton or malicious destruction of property, assaulting a police officer, shoplifting, receiving stolen property, etc.[77] And as regards speech, profuse profanity and vulgar language is widely sanctioned, even here in Quora, and derogatory expressions of Christ are protected speech, regardless (or because of) how it offends believers.

But which will be part of their judgment of damnation unless they come to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus who died for them, and rose again. May all do so.

As part of the demonic plan to pervert all that God has ordained, in dishonoring parents, not only does the Left militate against the normative role of women as being married and child-bearing, but as a trend children are no longer referred to according to their biological gender, [78][79][80] — which can even extend to gender sections in schools 081][82] - but without parental consent those under 18, sometime even preteens, they can obtain puberty blockers and/or hormone treatment in seeking to change their identity. [83][84][85]

Three eighth-grade boys were notified their sons were being charged by school district officials with sexual harassment for not referring to the student’s requested pronouns of “they” and “them.” [87] Which compelled speech is increasingly endorsed by adolescents and institutions.[88]

In May 2022, the Biden administration announced [89] that ) announced that it will interpret Title IX prohibition on sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on discrimination to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, which can extend to requiring allowing boys into girls’ private areas (bathrooms showers) in order to obtain federal funds for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks K-12 Schools. For as regarding the Title IX Protections Against Employment Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, the government states,

"The Commission has taken the position that employers may not deny an employee equal access to a bathroom, locker room, or shower that corresponds to the employee’s gender identity." [90]

Regional Health Equity Coalition Program Manager Danielle Droppers of The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) informed the community that a scheduled conversation between OHA officials and relevant members of the public would not take place as planned, stating that "urgency is a white supremacy value that can get in the way of more intentional and thoughtful work." [91]

A Washington state school board director who is a "sex coach" and runs a "woman-owned, identity-inclusive sex shop" announced she will teach sex education classes as part of an event billed the "Uncringe Academy." for children as young as 9 on topics such as "sexual anatomy for pleasure," "Gender and sexual identities," "Safer sex practices for all kinds of sexual activities." [92]

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union won a suit against and the New Jersey Department of Corrections, which resulted in New Jersey enacting a policy to allow prisoners to serve time in facilities in accordance with their self-declared gender identity, versus their biological sex. Which unsurprisingly resulted in a biological male being housed in a women's-only prison, and two women at Edna Mahan becoming pregnant after "consensual sexual relationships with another incarcerated person." [93]

Yet New Jersey proceeded to place another biological male, a convicted child pornographer, in the same women's-only prison. [94]

Going even further Left, a growing movement seeks to stop anthropologists from identifying human remains as ‘male’ or ‘female’ or according to race. [95]

Then we have another example of the prohomosexual movement working to pervert souls beginning with the very young, as many of the Portland Public School's K-5 classrooms have adopted propaganda which teaches that traditional gender identification (meaning as based upon biology) is attacked, by blaming it on white Europeans forcing this upon the people.

Instead, what is being foisted upon innocent children is that of a curriculum which begins in kindergarten with an anatomy lesson featuring graphic drawings of children’s genitalia, and lesson that avoids the terms “boy” and “girl” in favor of the assertion that “Any gender and kid can have any type of body” “Only you can know what your gender is,” since Gender identity is about how you feel about yourself inside. Thus they are told that they can change their name to match who they are, with pronouns such as “they/them” and “ze/zir.

In third through fifth grade, the curriculum teaches that the categories of “man” and “woman” is a form of “oppression” used to punish “LGBTQIA2S+” people and and encourages the students subjects of its perversity to inhabit “the infinite gender spectrum." And which also provides a detailed explanation of how to “pause puberty” through “hormones and/or surgeries." [96]

While the use of profanity and vulgarity abounds in Western colleges and universities, in Harvard (and no doubt many others) undergraduate students in a mandatory Title IX training session are taught that language such as falls under the subjective definition of "sizeism and fatphobia," "cisheterosexism," "racism," "transphobia," "ageism," and "ableism." "Fatphobia" and "cisheterosexism" is targeted as wrong, and using the wrong pronouns" (meaning referring to one according to their biological gender) constitutes "abuse." "Any words used to lower a person’s self-worth" are "Verbal Abuse." [97] (Although broadly maligning all who for Biblical moral reasons oppose homosexual relations as "homophobic - and abuse of the word - and "racist" who oppose race-based hiring and employment discrimination is no doubt sanctioned.)

Consistent with this perversion that case of female students at a Vermont high school being reportedly banned from using their girls' locker room after some objected to a transgender student changing there, which is a result of a rule by the Vermont Agency of Education which states, “A transgender student should not be required to use a locker room or restroom that conflicts with the student’s gender identity.” But which resulted in biological females being pressured to use a locker room with biological males. The schools has banned students from using their girls' locker room as it investigates the issue. [98]

Then we have another example by "Big Tech" of increasing censorship of ever-morphing politically incorrect speech via the expanded use of ambiguous and terms that enable subjective judgments of what is considered "harmful" or "objectionable." While "Terms of Service" type agreements often use ambiguous language, as posted here for example, that enable such judgments, they can be expected to become more expansive, and punitive,

This is what PayPal exampled in announcing an updated Acceptable Use Policy, effective Nov. 3, 2022, that,

Obviously, since even posting what the Bible states regarding false gospels as well as illicit sexual unions and effects thereof can be subjectively judged in "PayPal’s sole discretion" as "harmful" or "objectionable" then this policy effectively can work to silence those whom PayPal autocratically judges to be politically objectionable.

And while PayPal later said that it will not fine $2500 users who engage in “misinformation” or “hatred” against protected identities," and that this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy, yet PayPal effectively did not remove fining people for misinformation, and while it changed "activities that.... are harmful ... or objectionable … (e) depict, promote, or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics, " into forbidding "the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory," yet this can be subjectively defined as per the former descriptions.

Yet in PayPal subjective "sole discretion" it broad ambiguous terms such in "the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory" can easily translate into what was previously ambiguously described as activities that:....." “Involve the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials that, in PayPal’s sole discretion, (a) are harmful ... or objectionable … (e) depict, promote, or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g. ... religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.) …

And as regards the topic of inciting discrimination of individuals or groups based on gender or gender identity, one wonders if such reports of the following would be judged as doing so. Which is the warning on promoting perversity, that "if Michigan's Proposal 3 passes, children will have a right under the Michigan constitution to walk into one of Planned Parenthood’s 12 so-called “gender affirming” facilities in the state and, without parental knowledge or consent, obtain puberty blockers." The Proposal would "also give boys a constitutional right to be castrated and girls the right under Michigan’s constitution to be sterilized." Children in will not even need to leave their house in order to to obtain sterilizing drugs. [104]

Related to this perversion, is that of Vanderbilt’s Pediatric Transgender Clinic at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital providing “ev idence-based, personalized gender-affirming care for transgender and gender-diverse children and adolescents” which "care" refers to the practice of physical manipulation and mutilation in sex-change procedures, which, at least in 2020, included giving irreversible hormone drugs to children as young as 13.

Moreover, in explaining policy, Dr. Ellen Clayton warned that conscientious objectors who decides not to be involved in transition surgeries due to religious beliefs would face "consequences,"and thus should not work at Vanderbilt. [105] [106]

Which is a progression of what has been going on for years. Back in 2018 not assigning children's gender based upon biology, but instead treating this unknown until the parent judges that child has chosen what sex it is resulted in raising so-called "theybies." [107]

Meanwhile, in the academic realm, a national survey found that 59% of students fear disagreeing with professor publicly, while 41% of students were uncomfortable disagreeing with a professor in a written assignment. depending on the speaker, opposition to allowing controversial conservative speakers on campus ranged from 59% to 73%, while opposition to controversial liberal speakers ranged from 24% to 41%.
“Similarly, 48% of students were uncomfortable expressing their views on a controversial political topic on campus, while 60% were uncomfortable expressing unpopular opinions to fellow students on social media.” [108]

In addition, even the Cambridge Dictionary expanded its dictionary of "man" to mean "an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth" (meaning according to biology). [109]

Then there is a “Philosopher of happiness” at prestigious Oxford University who postulates that lifeguards/doctors, etc. should not save souls if they eat meat. Which sets a dangerous precedent of pricipal. [110]

On the other hand, students at the University of Massachusetts will now have access to chemical abortion pills on campus from the University Health Services (UHS due to a new law, sponsored by Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa (D), which requires all UMass health centers to dispense abortion pills with financial assistance from taxpayers. [111]

Going back to the topic of education again, there is the recent example of "wokism" in the realm of so-called "higher education, in which the demonic tactic of obtaining power as a liberator by constantly instilling a bitter victim mentality/identity, via a preoccupation with imagined or magnified oppression (as with the devil against God; Hitler versus Jews; Stalin toward the West), that of injustice, in order to justify rebellion against the real or imagined oppressors whereby the supposed liberators obtain power in order to enslave (in contrast to principled dissent in order to actually provide principled liberty) is fostered under the guise of wordcraft liberation. Such as,

"transfeminist... anticolonial...taxonomizing apparatus...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations,...leverage critiques against normativity... Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies...Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index....performativity...and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate..." [112]

The author is Brianna Thompson,in Reading and Writing Gender and Sexuality, and who teaches courses in American women’s literature, queer theory and utopias/Afrofuturism at Kenyon College.

Which woke-wordcraft is part of a broad attack on what God most fundamentally ordained (alluded to in wokespeak by such terms are as "binary opposition"), in which God made man and women distinctively different (attacked as "taxonomizing apparatus") yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with

Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47 Biblical morality

A main normative aspect of his complementarianism with its limited positional and functional distinctions is that of the unique child-bearing capability and role of the female as a normative fruit of the union with her husband, with whom and under his leadership children are raised. And with children normally being plural, versus contraception which fosters liberal feminism, preventing the women from being what the women is uniquely designed and equipped to do, and often resulting in working to further pervert what God has wisely set forth by design and decree, in principle and in precepts.

Also in the realm of "higher education" is the "The Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative" (EHLI) to address harmful language in IT at Stanford. Which lists potentially harmful words and phrases that should be avoided, and suggests innocuous replacements, at least in Stanford websites and code.

None of which potentially harmful words or phrases are those of traditional profanity and vulgarity, nor any other which may offend Christians, but phrases and words that include, "normal person," "trigger warning," "submit," "abort," "survivor," "user," "homeless person," "disabled person," "webmaster," "crack the whip," "take a shot at," "straight," "seminal," "mankind," "manmade," "congressman/congresswoman," "fireman/firemen," "grandfather," "guys," "ladies," "white paper," "whitelist," "Hispanic," "African-American," "brown bag," "hold down the fort," "chief," "Indian summer," "tribe," etc. [113]

Now we actually have some scientists asserting that ‘Binary terms’ as male and female, man, woman, mother, father should not be used. The recommendation is one of many made by the EEB (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) Language Project, which includes scientists in the United States and Canada Yet rather than this recommendation being based upon science, namely biology, it is imaginatively justified as being warranted since "much of western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy," and thus these censorious recommended that instead, biologists use terms such as “sperm-producing” or “egg-producing” to avoid reinforcing “heteronormative views.” [114]

Actually, as proxy servants of the devil, who works to pervert all that God established - which is to man's good - these academics (better called actually political scientists, from universities including Harvard, Princeton and the University of California) they war is against the Creator who God made man and women, obviously distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.

Yet public universities and colleges are requiring (or promoting) new students to take diversity and inclusion courses, one being The State University of New York which will require of all freshmen throughout the 64-campus college system to take a course, called "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice," beginning in fall 2023. Political science professor at SUNY's Suffolk Community College Nicholas Giordano is one of few (an endangered species) who object to this, stating interview with the New York Post. "SUNY is one of the best university systems in the country. Why are they doing this?" “DEISJ is a cultural movement, not based on academics." "Unfortunately, SUNY responded to the mob.” [115]

With such "woke" ideology increasingly replacing traditional commonsensical natural and Biblical ideology, especially in colleges, it is no wonder that and even as far back as 2015, a study of 67,308 students across 108 American colleges and universities during the spring of 2015 found that 1 in 4 college students were diagnosed with mental health condition, and 75 percent of students at U.S. colleges said they battled significant stress in the past year, leading 1 in 5 to consider suicide. [116

It is also not surprising that a North Korea Defector has compared ‘Woke’ education in America to the indoctrination of the regime she escaped, stating that the leftist ‘woke’ ideology that has infected American education is frighteningly similar to what she fled. [117]

Consistent with the above and with Wokeducation, A school district in Colorado hired a self-proclaimed “genderqueer shapeshifter” and “witch” to conduct staff training on “transgender” issues. The training would also cover “sex assigned at birth vs. gender identity vs. gender expression.” [118]

Then, coming from what can be called the "fringe" of the woke Left, but which often is a precursor for such becoming its part of its mainstream, is another diatribe from the elite liberal university sphere, asserting that ideals of neatness, cleanliness and order, with an organized, stocked pantries represent a racist, sexist social structure. "What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures, which is part of her animus against "mothering ideology that equates being a good mom with time-intensive, labor-intensive, financially expensive care work." [119]

As if neatness, cleanliness and order and being industrious in mothering (and in a marriage) should not be held as an ideal, vs. the opposite, though this does not require spending a lot of money. See Proverbs 31:10-31 which such liberal elites would scorn, esp. many in lofty thrones of academia.

Meanwhile, as part of the promotion of perversion even on a pediatric level, some major medical schools have and are fostering the sexual transitioning of toddlers and training future primary care doctors on how to engage in the experimental treatment, which is actually that of bodily mutalation

Duke Medicine opened its Gender Clinic in 2015 to offer a wide variety of services under one roof. The clinic treats children as young as two for gender dysphoria.

Dr. Deanna Adkins runs the clinic, is a transgender activist who in an interview with the Charlotte Observer in 2016 stated she has transgender patients as young as 2. “They are not old enough to consciously just choose to do that. … It is not a choice in any of my patients. [120]

In supposed expert declaration to a federal district court in North Carolina concerning H.B. 2 Adkins stated, “From a medical perspective, the appropriate determinant of sex is gender identity.” “It is counter to medical science to use chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, or secondary sex characteristics to override gender identity for purposes of classifying someone as male or female.” [120]

In addition, at UNC Health, medical school residents offer cross sex hormones for free every third Wednesday, while children as young as three can be evaluated for gender dysphoria and practices "gender affirming care" (gender transitioning).

While treatment does not include any drug or surgical intervention before puberty, it is an expected preparation for both. [121]

As are elevated rates of suicide. Approximately 41% of transgender people attempt suicide at least once in their lives compared to the rate of 5% in the general population. [122]

Along with this, in response to lobbying from a campus group that, in its own words, fights "for inclusivity, menstrual equality, and the de-stigmatization of menstruation and periods," Emerson College will provide menstrual products in all its bathrooms – including men's and gender-neutral restrooms, allocating $7,000 per year for them. [123]

Note: to save time and scrolling, from now on I will post the source link after the report, together with a footnote number.

And we also read of parents [Nevada] being forced to sue school district for allowing a student to be required to read sexually explicit monologue bout two lesbians, meanwhile while Illinois passed a bill to defund libraries that keep sexually explicit books (among others) away children. H B 2789 indicates materials should not be forbidden or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval or that prohibits the practice of banning specific books or resources.” [124] https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/illinois-passes-bill-to-defund-libraries-that-keep-sexually-explicit-books-away-from-children/

Yet a Arizona library censored a local resident from hosting a Christian book reading, but relented in response to a religious liberty law firm’s demand letter. [126] https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/02/03/library-banned-christian-book-story-hour-backs-legal-challenge/

The Bible itself has been pulled for review in a number of districts, but restored later. [127] https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/why-the-bible-is-getting-pulled-off-school-bookshelves/2022/12

But as regards restricting information, the Biden administration promoted a document that "tells Planned Parenthood and other taxpayer-funded family planning offices how to talk to minors about sex without their parents overhearing, and how to secretly deliver birth control to adolescents without parental knowledge or consent.

Federally-funded guidelines instruct adults to pause before discussing sex with minors and to ask, “Are you alone in the room?” These instructions specify tactics to follow “if you’re really having a hard time getting a parent” to leave the room during the sex talk.

They suggest children as young as 13 discuss sex with groups like Planned Parenthood in a parked car or communicate in writing, so their parents cannot hear the adults’ side of the conversation. And they encourage offices to have vans roam neighborhoods giving minors federally funded contraceptives; to mail birth control to adolescents in “plain, unmarked packaging;” and/or to have teenagers receive contraceptives at public meet-up places." [128] https://www.lifenews.com/2023/05/24/biden-admin-tells-planned-parenthood-how-to-discuss-sex-with-teens-behind-parents-backs/

In addition, the Oregon Department of Human Services’ denied Jessica Bates, “a single mother of five wishing to adopt siblings from foster care because of her Christian beliefs, specifically, because she could not agree to a state law requiring prospective adoptive parents to “respect, accept and support” the “sexual orientation, gender identity, [and] gender expression” of the children they seek to adopt.

As she underwent the necessary training to become an adoptive parent, an instructor informed Bates that “adoptive and resource parents must use a child’s stated pronouns and affirm a child’s gender identity if the child’s identity does not align with their biological sex.” Additionally, the instructor provided an example of how a parent could “support a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity” by “allowing a child to dress however they want and taking them to a Pride parade.” [129] https://www.christianpost.com/news/oregon-prevents-christian-mom-from-adopting-twins-lawsuit.html

Then we have the case of a Christian teacher being banned from the classroom for ‘misgendering’ student. In the United Kingdom the Teaching Regulation Agency judged that a math teacher Joshua Sutcliffe had engaged in “unprofessional conduct” and accused him of “bringing the profession into disrepute" because he misgendered a biologically female student, referred to as Pupil A, who identifies as a male. Sutcliffe was also determined to have failed in his duties as a teacher after he appeared on ITV’s “This Morning” show to talk about his suspension from Cherwell in 2017 and for showing a video about masculinity by PragerU, a conservative nonprofit, to students.

Likewise, A Christian couple in Australia have launched legal action after they were banned from becoming foster carers due to their biblical views on LGBT issues. Despite an initially favourable report, their application was later refused on the grounds that their views would not ensure ‘a safe living environment’.

Along with such, along with a district elementary school handing out rainbow t-shirts to its students, approximately 60 students at a Kansas City high school walked out of classes Wednesday to protest a veteran teacher who had written a op-ed criticizing school diversity policies and allegedly doesn’t use students’ “preferred” pronouns. Caedran Sullivan stated that teachers were told to refer to students by the preferred pronouns, “but hide from the parents the fact that their minor children are transitioning at school.” [132] https://www.thecollegefix.com/hs-students-want-teacher-canned-for-not-using-preferred-pronouns-ripping-dei-measures/

In addition, related to promoting not simply affirming persons based upon such non-moral aspects of race, but the immoral and unhealthy and overall harmful deleterious LGBTQ lifestyle, the State University of New York system announced expanded “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice” requirements for every degree program starting in fall 2023, which are required to earn a degree, even in departments outside liberal arts such as math, science and engineering.

Consistent with this, The University of Oregon is offering an “emergency fund” for trans-identified students to attain “gender affirming resources,” including sex toys and “trans vocal lessons.” [134] https://www.dailywire.com/news/oregon-dean-of-students-promotes-lgbtq-emergency-fund-sex-toy-shop-to-students

And as concerns education of youth, According to an investigation that was conducted by the Telegraph, schools in the UK are now allowing children to identify as all sorts of things… At a state secondary school in Wales, one student is said to ‘meow’ when asked questions by a teacher, rather than answering in English, the Telegraph reports.

In other schools, one apparently insists on being addressed as a dinosaur, one claims to identify as a horse while another is said to wear a cape and demands to be acknowledged as a moon.

Such programming resulted in a 13-year-old girl being called “despicable” by her progressive, inclusively exclusive (of those who disagree), and teacher at a Church of England school in the United Kingdom after asking a classmate “How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?” A video clip, taken by one of the students, shows the teacher remarking, “How dare you, you’ve just really upset someone” by “questioning their identity.” To which the student replies: “If they want to identify as a cat or something then they are genuinely unwell – crazy.”

The teacher proceeds to each that, “there are lots of genders – there is transgender, there is a gender who are people who don’t believe that they have a gender at all.” And that to hold that one is identified based upon the sexual organ they were born with "is really despicable."

Meanwhile, largest public school district in Washington State is referring students in the district to free "gender-affirming care," which includes hormone-blocking medications and referrals for sex change surgeries, through Community healthcare agencies which independently operate School-Based Health Centers in spaces provided by Seattle Public Schools (SPS). According to SPS's “Gender-Inclusive Schools: Transgender and Gender-Expansive Student Rights and Supports,” district staff “should not disclose a student’s transgender or gender X status to others unless (1) legally required to do so or (2) the student has authorized disclosure.”

Last year research found that over the course of only three years there was an 853 percent increase in students that identify as non-binary in the SPS district.

In another instance of professionals fostering moral degeneration, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association are continuing their efforts to push acceptance of immoral and deleterious homosexual relations and gender dysphoria and transitioning, while vehemently opposing legislation that protects students from sexually graphic content. As part of this, the NEA union released an “LGBTQ Toolkit” in June, while the AFT adopted a resolution on LGBTQ+ issues which favors “age-appropriate and inclusive” bathroom and locker room policies, which promote biological me to sharing restrooms and locker rooms with teenage girls. The AFT also coached its members on how to inject gender identity politics into classroom teaching, including “Affirming LGBTQIA+ Identities in and out of the Classroom” and “The TGNCNB [transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary] Inclusive School and Classroom.

The concerns surrounding “cancel culture” among conservatives stem from its basis in political correctness, its widespread adoption, and the differing perceptions of right and wrong between conservative and liberal viewpoints.

Although instances of racism have been present among conservatives in the past, it’s important to note that two wrongs do not make a right. The issue lies in the fact that what is considered morally correct from a Biblical perspective is often criticized by the Left today, while behaviors that are morally objectionable receive sanction. This trend of politically correct overreach, oversensitivity, and pervasiveness is becoming increasingly alarming.

Censorship Trends

One facet of this trend is the rise of censorship. While censorship exists to varying degrees in all cultures, it is concerning that many liberals, rather than relying on established systems of jurisprudence and traditional moral values, are using secretive bureaucracies to make judgments about perceived offenses. This can result in stifling free expression.

Manipulation for Power

It is important to note that many instances of cancel culture are not driven by a genuine concern for combating racism or injustice. Instead, they often serve as tools for liberals to gain and maintain power by presenting themselves as champions of the oppressed. In doing so, they magnify legitimate injustices while also inventing moral offenses. This practice distracts from their own immoral actions and behavior.

Targeting and Censorship

In various arenas such as colleges, corporations, media outlets, and liberal governments, there is a growing tendency to target and censor those who oppose the prevailing liberal ideology. This includes instances like forcing the resignation of individuals who support conservative causes or punishing business owners for adhering to their faith-based beliefs.

Overreacting to Language

Even in cases where someone unintentionally uses politically incorrect language, the cancel culture response can be triggered. For example, educators have been punished for inadvertently causing offense, as seen in a professor’s removal for using a Mandarin word that sounded similar to a racial slur. This hypersensitivity extends to situations like asking innocuous questions about a person’s origin.

Encroachment on Freedom

This tendency to overreact leads to a culture of “canceling” individuals. Examples include Amazon removing books from its platform, corporations censoring conservative viewpoints, and restrictions on free speech. The result is a narrowing of acceptable discourse and an encroachment on personal freedoms.

Balancing Discourse

Despite the genuine need to address societal issues, the liberal approach often ends up promoting censorship and stifling opposing perspectives. This has culminated in actions like removing classic literature, banning certain terms, and even influencing the conversation around gender and identity.

In conclusion, the conservative concerns about cancel culture are rooted in the erosion of traditional values, the stifling of free expression, and the manipulation of societal issues for political gain. As debates surrounding censorship, ideological conformity, and personal freedoms continue, it’s essential to strike a balance between addressing genuine concerns and upholding the principles of open discourse.

Constructive criticism:

Thanks. I am sure I need it.

Your headline needs to be rewritten, as it does not make sense.

Yes, it now reads:

Without any specific explanation and despite appeal, Quora.com itself censors an answer, and thus it examples a reason as to, "Why so many conservatives are bent out of shape about "cancel culture"?"

You have cobbled together far to much information, and you have connected the various parts with sentence fragments. The various pieces are difficult to follow.Perhaps if you presented your main themes and then presented the sources as bullet points, you could achieve some coherence.

I was/am primarily seeking to provide information, not writing an essay. I have made some revisions since and will make more. But I have found that I usually have little problem deciphering confusing writing which other persons expressed bewilderment at. Thus I too much expected others to discern what was meant.
