Using it for joking - i.e. "innocent fun" is the camel's nose. First of all, get the kids to think about it and know about it. Then laugh at it, it's funny - harmless. The next step, acceptance, then who knows - you might be one.

Transgenderism and all that accompanies it is not harmless fun. It is serious mental illness, and when promoted in society, seriously deviant and harmful.

Do we joke about the innocent fun of alcoholism or heroin addiction? Or those kooky kleptomaniacs or wacky arsonists?

Actually people have been making Drunk Jokes for a long long time.

So what exactly is it you want Jeremiah?

Do you want censors to scour over everything broadcast/screened/or spoken of to make sure it fits within your views?

Maybe we should imprison the makers of Shrek for daring to make such pornography?

Why yes - turn on any TV, go to any sporting event and you'll see the consumption of alcohol glorified.

Actually, they do. Plenty of movies and TV shows promote that. And murder as fun, too.

It's like the ONLY bad thing that is un-PC these days is SMOKING. THAT has disappeared from movies and TV. And sometimes is even made a big deal of as a very, very bad thing (the "Touched by an Angel" episode that was near the last straw for me).

Think about it.
