Trump, apparently, is the harbinger of LGBT genocide.
I keep hearing it repeated uncritically and something stands out:
If there was much, if any, violence against LGBT people the press would be all over it.
We know this because they were all over the fake violence against them.
It's like when they drop reporting of a mass shooting because the perpetrator wasn't a straight white dude.
I have also noticed that there's a massive misunderstanding about why people are upset about children being introduced to sexualization at young ages.
It's being ignored that these parents are objecting to teaching kids about straight sex so young as well.
I've done something that I don't think some of the LGBT side has done. Looked at some of the so-called banned books.
Aside: If they were banned why were they so easy to find and read? Being able to make a display in your book store with rainbow colored lettering saying "BANNED BOOKS" means they are not actually banned.
Age restricted is the phrase you're looking for here.
Several of the banned books I've looked through are porn. Some as low level as a tawdry romance novel. Some with graphic, but cartoon, illustrations.
Some are simply inserting same sex relationships.
But the LGBT side went to the mat to keep the porn. Demanded that they be made available to children who aren't going to understand what they're looking at and didn't bat an eye about equivalent straight-sex materials being banned from school libraries.
They don't even try to advocate that ALL positions be taught, just theirs.
That alone raises my generally pro-LGBT ire.
It is often forgotten that knowledge is built from small parts eventually assembled into a whole.
I've tackled the task of explaining history to fairly young people in the course of gaming because I often do alternate histories. The first presentation of history must be simplified, and sanitized. More detail (and nuance) gets added later as they can begin to understand it.
And some things they just aren't going to grasp no matter how simple, because they don't know what they don't know.
Sex is even worse than history.
And the same because if you start their education with bias and lies, they end up being biased.
And THAT is why the parents are up in arms.
And we don't believe the innocence of the teachers because we watched them lie to our kids during the Wu Ping Cough lock-downs.
The rainbow-flag folks do not know when to stop pushing, and sooner or later, they will provoke an awful backlash. Even a lot of left-wing people (and why are the left so fanatically pro-rainbow?) balk at the whole "transgender" thing, and are unintimidated by the yells of "Fascist! Nazi! Transphobe! TERF!"
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of alarmist, sky is falling talk too. A lot of it just seems crazy like they are expecting black uniformed troops to start marking through cities forcing all the trans people onto rail cars to concentration camps somewhere.
ReplyDeleteDo I like or agree with all these things that are being done? No. I think a lot of it is just a waste of time and pandering to the uber religious nutbags. My position on most things is "not my issue". I mostly believe in leaving people alone as long as they aren't bothering anyone else. So fine, wear what you want, call yourself whatever you want, I don't really care that much. Now, predators and pedophiles, no excuse for that.
But in general, I just don't see justification for a lot of the wailing, gnashing of teeth and melt downs It's not like any of that happened in Trump's first 4 years or during 8 years of Bush Jr. or 12 years of Reagan and Bush Sr.
