Subtle change, isn’t it?

Me in 1985: “I bet they’ll have flying cars in the future!”

The Future: “I cry for Florida’s trans youth. This was a sham hearing with fake experts,” said one activist

Of course, this is a monstrous category error / gaslighting operation. There’s no such thing as ‘trans youth’ because people aren’t and cannot be ‘trans’. Eunuchs are not women, and sterilised women aren’t men.

Young people are stupid and impressionable, they traditionally explore their identity through clothes, music and attention seeking behaviors, and that’s ok. Let the children boogie – if they want to be punks, rockers, mods, goths, teddy boys, emos or ravers it probably won’t do them any harm and might do them good.

Getting sterilised, fucking up your endocrinal development at the most important time when it needs to not be fucked up, and suffering all the horrible medical consequences including youthful arthritis and undeveloped brain structures is like the opposite of what The Sex Pistols were trying to tell us.

‘Trans youth’ don’t exist, so it was necessary to invent them. It’s a lot easier to sell the idea that Bob is a woman now despite being a 46 year old balding father of 3 if you can frighten people into not engaging their critical faculties because WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN??!?!? Progressives don’t want to protect kids, they want your kids to be irreversibly mutilated human shields.

“Public commentary was overwhelmingly against the proposed ban”.

“Numerous observers accused the board of bias”.

Fine. Just keep pushing the message and Ron DeSantis will be history. Unless of course these numerous and overwhelming commentators and observers are actually a tiny albeit vociferous minority talking through their arses (A.K.A. Salon contributors and readers).

“gender affirming surgery” – what euphemism will they come up with to top that?

“gender affirming surgery” – what euphemism will they come up with to top that?

Pretty good euphemism since the alternative would be “unnecessary castration”, the opposite (enpenisisation) doesn’t seem to prevent pregnancy as the “Pregnant trans person” phenomenon occurs.

All variants of mental illness though, albeit often by proxy of single-mom variety.

“Gender-affirming care”

They don’t even have the balls (anymore) to say what it is.

So, we’re at stage 2 now.

Stage 1 – it’s not happening.

Stage 2 – it’s happening but it’s rare.

Stage 3 – it’s happening a lot and this is why it’s a good thing.

A friends child jumped on the trans bandwagon, they questioned all medical interventions and thankfully had a GP who supported a ‘go slow’ approach.
The rest of the medical establishment was hard to deal with, pushing treatment, telling the child it was their choice not the parents and dismissing all concerns about long term effects(puberty blockers are safe, effective and reversible apparently). Questioning the child was akin to child abuse and he described some interactions which made it seem they were flagged as ‘difficult’ parents in the system.
After 6 hard and difficult years it’s all settled down and back to original pronouns etc. of course they aren’t to use the term ‘phase’ even now and mentioning ROTS is still a good way to get yourself thrown out of a support group and even a doctors office.
Frankly if I didn’t know them well and hadn’t been a sympathetic ear I wouldn’t believe it, I’m surprised neither he or his wife had their own breakdown.
It truly is evil what’s been going on

Can’t drink alcohol until you’re 21 but demands 15 year olds can cut their penis/tits off.

Yeah Pcar. The girls whine continually about men intruding into ‘female’ spaces. But they whinge even more if someone suggests they shouldn’t intrude into ‘male’ spaces.

This does give one some sympathy for the ROPers and their restrictions.
