‘That’s Not F***ing True’: Virginia Lawmakers Clash over Child Gender Transition
National Review ^ | September 23, 2022 | Caroline Downey

Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation sparred with Governor Glenn Youngkin at a meeting Monday over his newly introduced policies that would uphold parental rights on the gender issue and preserve private female spaces in public schools.

Held on a monthly basis, the meetings are designed for the Virginia’s representatives in Washington to forge relationships with the governor and his staff and cooperate on issues facing the state. But on Monday, the typically amicable roundtable quickly deteriorated into frustration and outrage from members of both parties over the Virginia Department of Education’s new limitations on gender affirmation in schools.

Republican representative Bob Good and Democratic representative Abigail Spanberger reportedly launched into a dispute during the talk, sources with first- or secondhand knowledge of the meeting told the Washington Post.

Democratic representative Jennifer Wexton, who has a transgender niece, complained to Youngkin that the policy could harm the mental health of transgender students, the aides told the publication. She had criticized the policy as “a vile and disgusting attack on vulnerable trans kids” for which Youngkin “should be ashamed.”

Youngkin’s directive ordered the state’s public school districts to enforce gender-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams. The new guidelines mandate that faculty address children by their legal name and pronouns aligning with their sex unless parental permission is given consenting to a child’s “change of sex.” Schools would be required to inform parents “before counseling services pertaining to gender are given” to students.

Spanberger and Democratic representative Don Beyer suggested that the policy could be unconstitutional and could have an adverse effect on the state’s business prospects and economy, aides said. Youngkin reiterated that it defends a parents’ right to be involved in curricula and conversations around gender dysphoria and gender transition.

I'm glad Youngkin and other VA Republicans have a spine.

Notice the push back from Democrat groomers. That is proof positive that this crap is going on in schools.

She obviously has no concern for the mental health of everyone else. The effect this reprehensible BS has on normal kids. F her and good for Youngkin.

It was breaking my heart watching Virginia go into the toilet.
Glad to see it is heading in the right direction again.

...unless parental permission is given consenting to a child’s “change of sex” fantasy of being the opposite gender.

Pretty freaking sad that we as a nation are having to fight the vile wvil left tooth and nailin order to retain our God given rights to parental rights in this nation. Sad that the left think that they can take that right away for one of the sickest things imaginable, bastardizing the biological assignment given by God, and twisting and corrupting the minds of innocent highly impressionable young people.

From the commentary of Barnes:

Isaiah 5:19
That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
That say ... - They add one sin to another for “the purpose of defying” God, and provoking him to anger. They pretend that he will not punish sin; and hence, they plunge deeply into it, and defy him to punish them.

Let him make speed - Let him come quick to punish.

And hasten his work - His punishment.

That we may see it - An expression of defiance. We would like to see him undertake it.

The counsel of the Holy One ... - His threatened purpose to punish. This is the language of all sinners. They plunge deep into sin; they mock at the threatenings of God; they defy him to do his utmost; they do not believe his declarations. It is difficult to conceive more dreadful and high-handed iniquity than this.

The two questions to always ask these people are:

1. If all we had of you was a sample of your DNA what would it say about your sex?

2. John Forbes the mathematician Nobel Press winner in economics was convinced at one time he was Emperor of Antarctica. Was he?

What the hell is a “transgender”? I know what a boy is. I know what a girl is. I know what a female is. I know what a “drag queen” is. I know what a cross dresser is. But for the life of me, I don’t know what a “transexual is. I can’t recall ever seeing one. I ask again, what in the workd is a “transgender”?

But if my kid has to take a lousy aspirin or any medication while at school, except apparently “sex changing” hormones, there’s all sorts of permissions and paperwork I have to do. They need to get their friggin priorities straight.

Democratic senator Tim Kaine intervened to lower the temperature with a Bible verse urging charity and good will: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Tim Kaine missed Sunday School class where they covered Matthew 18:6.

Definitely DEFIANCE.

That's why UMass scheduled 'Pride day' Oct. 8, the day Liberty comes to town to play them in football.

It'll be great when Liberty crushes them.

"The transgender movement in this country ... if there
is a movement in this country that is demonic, full of
the spirit of Antichrist ... it is the transgender
movement!"

What seems to be going on is that those who have latched on to this alternative reality honestly believe in it. They aren't being devious when they defend it.

There used to be a time when insanity was defined as an inability to correctly perceive/define reality to the point at which such failure prevented the conduct of one's affairs.

Though this definition might have fallen out of fashion, that is what we are dealing with at the current time.

What is different is that this mental illness isn't due to an individual failure to recognize reality. This failure seems to be due to the injection of politics into our various institutions...and it is this particular brand of politics that convinces individuals en masse to accept this alternative and false reality as the truth.
