US Republican Transgender Laws Pile Up, Setting 2024 Battle Lines
US News ^ | 5/18/23 | Reuters

Posted on 05/23/2023 3:06:20 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Indiana has enacted a law requiring teachers to tell parents when students ask to be called by a new name or different pronoun. North Dakota has approved a law that lets public school teachers and state employees ignore using a transgender person's preferred pronoun.

And the latest such action came in Florida on Wednesday when Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care such as puberty blockers or hormone therapy for transgender youths - a measure that joins the state's growing list of legislation that limits the rights of LGBTQ people.

This month's rush of bills, certain to attract court challenges, has become central to the Republican agenda in statehouses across the country and inflamed the so-called culture war in the United States that also encompasses abortion, gun rights and school curricula

In my State a 15 year old can’t legally get a tattoo or their ears pierced without parental permission. But they can cross get an abortion or have their genitalia mutilated.

It’s insane.

But they can’t drink chocolate milk. That’s the absurdity of it.

The FACT that there are only two genders, asigned at birth. Not criticizing you, just pointing that FACT out to all.

gender-affirming medical care is such a nice euphemism for genital mutilation, isn't it?

Maybe you need to go back and read what stated...I said exactly that...TWO GENDERS....Nothing more, nothing less....

Here is the post you replied to:

“The are males and females...XY and XX chromosomes...

They are NOT interchangeable, no matter what a person thinks or feels...

Every person is one or the other...That’s it...”

“...that limits the rights of LGBTQ people.”

Should read: “...that PROTECTS Mentally Ill ADULTS and CHILDREN being groomed by perverts.”

Oh, yes! I caught the BBC News Hour last night and they are in an absolute DITHER over those ‘mean’ Republicans.

*SNORT*

SO GLAD to see some pushback by the States!

Don’t deceive yourself, they are more engaged by the Left and its social media carpet bombing programming than you think. Republicans make an easy target for rebellious young minds who don’t know and feel the weight of the consequences. Just watch the heartbreaking detransitioner videos online… young people who realize they made a permanent error and some of them realize they are victims of a lie that will destroy even younger children.

A common theme is the fleeting euphoria that comes with each step but it doesn’t end in lasting happiness for so many because it’s not addressing the underlying psychological issues. They feel lied to, betrayed, victimized and now trapped in a mutilated body that they’ll never be able to escape because they didn’t really have gender dysphoria in the first place. In a civil society adults have a duty to protect the vulnerable from themselves whether that’s elderly who can’t care for themselves anymore, the mentally ill or children who lack the developmental capacity to comprehend what permanent change means.

The activists make it sound appealing, even fun, to go through a gender transition. It’s a horror show. They same degenerate mindset that gets people hooked on drugs is the same that created this trendy social contagion that in a generation or two no one will accept responsibility for. It’ll be “oops my bad” we don’t know. Some think they’re advocating the right thing but they’re misled.

There must be credible safeguards in place. The reality is people like Josef Mengele and his fellow Nazis walk among us. They’re just not dressed in fashionable, easily identifiable uniforms. Sometimes they’re in a lab coat, in the classroom, in costume for your child’s birthday party, across from you on a date, on your TV, in your office or living in the house next door.

This knowledge is what separates childhood from adulthood. You discover monsters are real and they look just like people.

There is no such thing as “transgender youth”. But there is a such a thing as children that have been groomed to be Godless sexual perverts. That is pure evil.

Just when you thought someone might do something about the border, crime, China, supply lines, the war du jour, BLM, fentanyl, Iran, etc., etc. They’re in a panic about not being allowed to chop your kids’ wieners off or trick them into asking for it? Seriesly?

“This other position” is what is called “reprobation”; it is spiritual psychopathy/sociopathy and the clinical description is found in Rom. 1:18-32 and II Tim. 3:1-5.

The only way to protect our children and ourselves is to avoid those who manifest this pathology.

I keep hearing from the left how sex change surgeries are almost never performed on minors. So why would it be controversial to ban them for under-18s if that’s the case? Rhetorical questions, I know.

It is not gender affirming care.

"Gender affirming care" is when the doctor takes a gander at what's between a newborn's legs and records his/her sex on the birth certificate.

Years ago a serial rapist wanted to be castrated to convince a judge he was rehabilitated. Every surgeon he contacted refused the surgery telling him it would be unethical to mutilate a physically healthy person. I’m not sure what’s changed.

Oh my the left press is in a panic.

____________________________________________________

They’re not panicking at all. They know there’s more than enough degenerate and milquetoast US citizens to sympathize with their cause. All that journalists, entertainers, and professors have to do is put it before the national conscience 24/7, 365-days a year. Eventually, the culture will change unless people forcibly stop it. Right now I’m not sure that the US collectively has the moral confidence to do so.

Many...perhaps even most...public school teachers today are either groomers or sympathetic to groomers.

Wrong.

Republicans did not set up the battle lines.

The left did when they started all this homosexuality stuff in the first place.

Purpose of this article: Those mean, nasty Republicans are at it again, trying to hurt the children. Like the pro-abortion, pro-divorce, pro-homosexuality, pro-trans, pro-pedophilia democrats actually care about the welfare of children.

They have done more to hurt children that the rest of the country put together for its whole history.
