Ben Shapiro HORRIFIED by Nonbinary Childrens Cartoon Character (Transformer uses THEY/THEM Pronouns)

These people can deny it all they want but kids know both gender and sexuality at a very young age.   Kids understand gender from the time they learn of boy or girl, Mr or Mrs / Miss.   Gender is not a strange thing in human society, it is ingrained in everything we humans do.   Simply think how kids are taught which bathroom to use in public, little kids don’t care until they are forced by adults to use the “proper gendered” bathroom, which forces them to identify their own gender.    As for sexuality, kids also understand who they are attracted to long before they are given words to understand it.   The idea that kids are somehow clueless to their attraction as they grow is not what medical science or personal experience of people asked shows.  Ask yourself when you knew you were attracted to … and you will say well forever.  When did you know you were a boy / girl, well I just knew.  Well so do trans kids.  Also gay / lesbian kids know who they get tingles and attractions to.    Plus the idea that kids are not sensual in knowing what feels good with their own bodies is just stupid.  How often do you hear of little kids being told they shouldn’t touch themselves in public, because even as little kids it feels good and they don’t know to not do what feels good in front of other people.    The problem is some people want to keep society in the 1950s strict gender roles when society and the public has moved beyond that.  We have evolved, and that terrifies those that have invested interests in keeping the country in the past.  Why because in the past they were in charge, their ideas were taken for granted as being the only correct ideas, their god was not really questioned in society.   Think of the history of child abuse in churches, in the time frame these people want you / the country to return to the church leaders doing the abusing were not questioned and kids not believed.   Because of the automatic authority of the church.   That is what these people want to force us all to return too.  

Then we get to the second part of the video.   The videos of the Texas Guard putting up razor wire in front of people seeking asylum and trying to enter the country.   My gods if you think that this huge country couldn’t find a more humane way to handle people fleeing death and destruction to work for a better life I have to ask what is wrong with you.   We have states in this country that are so underpopulated they can not afford to provide for themselves without federal wealth sharing.   This country is huge and needs more people willing to be in it supporting all the infrastructure.    That is a known fact.   Ask what would happen if you let these people come in and establish lives working and paying taxes while being part of the communities they live in?    The only reason this push to keep people out at the southern border is completely racism.   The white ones convinced that the brown ones are going to take over if they are let in the country, that somehow the white ones will lose all the assumed authority and power they once had.  Well guess what, it has already happened and will keep happening.  If you are one of those people, the tipping point was reached long ago, and yes the white majority rule is pretty much over and will be soon.   The thing is that is not such a scare thing as these white supremacist want to make it.  The only difference is whites that don’t want other races will have to accept them, everyone will be equal.   That is all, everyone regardless of race will be equal.   Everyone’s traditions and celebrations will be give equal time.  See the world won’t stop, the destruction won’t happen, just equality and expanded awareness for everyone.   Now to the video.    Hugs

 

Naked Swimming In School Pt. 1 / Pt. 2 / Pt. 3

When I tell people about this they think I am crazy.  This is how far modern religious Puritan morality has pushed into the public.   We went from times when boys being nude was OK, fun, and pretty normal to now just the idea of young people seeing a nude statue like David of Michelangelo got a Florida principle fired.   How ridiculous has this become.   Seeing a nude human, even one in a painting or work of art, will destroy a child?  Will cause the downfall of a nation?  There are states trying to outlaw watching porn for adults because the religious people have to regulate all behavior, even adults private consensual behavior.     It is time to stop this march of the moral vice police / the US Christian Taliban.   I know I have enjoyed the times in my life I was able to swim nude, in public and private.   I think growing up if more boys had been forced to be nude for more than a quick run under the locker shower, they may have been less self-conscious about themselves and their development.   I know it surprised me when I went to church boarding school that the male dorm showers were just a large room with many shower heads on the wall but most of the kids except a few were OK with it.  In fact me and my friends often planned our mornings to shower together.   And it was not a sexual thing, it was the normal start of the day when we first got together.     Hugs

Moms For Liberty Behind Move To Fire Florida Teacher For Showing Disney Film Featuring Out Gay Character

A religious person forcing her church doctrines on what is acceptable in society on all students, teachers, and other parents.  It is not enough for her child to deny gay kids exist, but to force all kids, even the gay ones, to pretend that no gay people exist.   Are we going to let this keep happening?  Is everyone OK with driving the country back to civil inequality and denying human rights to appease a religious view of how things should be based on a misinterpreted book written before people understood what germs were?   I cannot stand this drive to return to the time when gay kids were scared and in hiding, when there were no books for them to read with gay content, when there were no positive role models, when kids were targeted for abuse if it was discovered they might not be straight.   Why are we letting a group of religious conservative bigots drive us to a theocracy with a Christian Taliban in charge?   Hugs

 Also I want people to understand just how repressively religious these people are.   Want to know where else this movie won’t be shown due to the gay story line of a few minutes of just dialog?  Disney refrained from showing “Strange World” in the Middle East, China, Indonesia, Turkey, Nigeria, Uganda and other countries because of the LGBTQ storyline.   Yes other religious fundamentalist countries and countries that restrict personal freedom with the government ruling what people can do in their private lives with other consenting adults.  Hugs

 

The Tallahassee Democrat reports:

A Florida teacher is under investigation by the state Department of Education after what she believes is a targeted attack by a school board member who took issue with a Disney movie shown in her classroom. At a Hernando County School Board meeting Tuesday, fifth-grade teacher Jenna Barbee alleges school board member Shannon Rodriguez reported her to DOE for showing her students Disney’s 2022 movie “Strange World.” It’s the first Disney movie with an out, gay character.

Barbee, a teacher at Winding Waters K-8, said during public comment the Disney movie tied into her students’ Earth science lesson and did not have sexually inappropriate content. Rodriguez, who was elected to the school board last fall, was endorsed by conservative parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty. In her short tenure, she has argued there is “smut” and “porn” on schools’ library shelves and has asked for books to be removed, according to Suncoast News.

Read the full article. No paywall.

From the linked article.

Barbee, a teacher at Winding Waters K-8, said during public comment the Disney movie tied into her students’ Earth science lesson and did not have sexually inappropriate content.

“The word indoctrination is thrown around a lot right now, but it seems that those who are using it are using it as a defense tactic for their own fear-based beliefs without understanding the true meaning of the word,” Barbee said at the lectern.

 

Florida educators are prohibited from teaching about gender and sexual identity due to the Parental Rights in Education Act, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis last year. Also known as “Don’t Say Gay” by critics, teachers have expressed anxiety and confusion over the vague wording of the law for fear of losing their teaching licenses or criminal penalties if found in non-compliance.

Opponents of the law say the vague wording unfairly targets books and classroom materials with gay and transgender characters and themes.

 

Hernando County’s school district confirmed a fifth-grade teacher is being investigated for showing “Strange World,” and that a parent complained to the principal about the movie not being appropriate for students.

Rodriguez, who was elected to the school board last fall, was endorsed by conservative parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty. In her short tenure, she has argued there is “smut” and “porn” on schools’ library shelves and has asked for books to be removed, according to Suncoast News.

 

 

She also alleges Rodriguez called her father to tell him about the DOE complaint.

“I’m a first-year teacher. I’ve had to learn so much this year,” she told the USA TODAY NETWORK-Florida. “I work with teachers who have taught for 20 years, 30 years, tell me every day it never used to be like this. Times have changed so much and they are so micromanaged, they’re not allowed to teach anymore. They’re basically a caregiver who has to teach the standards. Teachers stay for the children, but because of the laws and the fear of being let go for saying one wrong thing, they can’t connect to their students.”

At the end of the school board meeting, Rodriguez said Barbee broke school policy because she did not get the specific movie approved by school administration and said the teacher is “playing the victim.”

Rodriguez’s daughter is in Barbee’s class.

“It is not a teacher’s job to impose their beliefs upon a child: religious, sexual orientation, gender identity, any of the above. But allowing movies such as this assist teachers in opening a door, and please hear me, they assist teachers in opening the door for conversations that have no place in our classrooms,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez also said she has called DOE about other issues in the district and believes children should not be “a pawn in the crossfire” of liberal political agendas.

“As a leader in this community, I’m not going to stand by and allow this minority to infiltrate our schools,” she said.

Please note again the religious parent / school admits above that she who is a minority on the school board and among the parents and is the only one objecting to the movie, is saying “She is not going to let this minority (meaning gay people or the LGBTQ+) infiltrate our schools”.   Think about what she is saying, gay kids existing is an infiltration, that gays in society / public are so offensive to her that she needs to wipe them out.   In other words, genocide!   Hugs

Disney refrained from showing “Strange World” in the Middle East, China, Indonesia, Turkey, Nigeria, Uganda and other countries because of the LGBTQ storyline.

“In countries where we operate, we seek to share our stories in their original form as we and the artists involved have created them. If we make edits, because of legal or other considerations, they will be as narrow as possible. We will not make an edit where we believe it would impact the storytelling. In that circumstance, we will not distribute the content in that market,” Disney says in its Human Rights Policy, which was updated in 2022. 

 

Hanna believes the investigation began after Brandi Andrews, a board member of the Leon County chapter of Moms for Liberty, sent a letter to the governor calling on the superintendent “to be removed from his position.” The letter was stamped with “LET’S GO BRANDON,” a saying popular among conservatives who use the G-rated term in place of “(Expletive) Joe Biden.”

Andrews included an excerpt from an email, a Facebook post and an op-ed in the Democrat, all written by Hanna in August 2022, as examples of “issues we have with our local school board right here in Leon County.”

In a statement, Andrews told the Democrat her complaint is “one of many.”

“Any assertion that concerns I expressed as a parent should not be presumed as a catalyst for any investigation,” she said.

 

The movie had no sex. It had a gay person. The prudish homophobes on the right are not worried about children being exposed to porn, they are worried about children being exposed to the fact that gay people exist.

They think orientation is a choice and if you have no exposure to gays during childhood you’ll never become one

And we all know how that works out

They also think we are evil, so they don’t want to see us treated as normal or equal to them. We must be despised if they are to feel good about themselves.

I find it remarkable that that’s what they believe. There wasn’t a single gay person in my sphere of influence whatsoever as I was growing up. Not one. Thus, the reason it took me to 23 yrs old to fully come out. I had zero exposure to the gay universe. Let me tell you that I made up for lost time…

I fell into the same category. I knew I was different but but I didn’t kiss another man until grad school

I just felt very alone growing up

Those people seem to believe that gay sex is so hot, so rapturous, so absolutely irresistible, that even the thought of it is enough to entice anyone into giving up straight sex immediately. That’s why they are so adamantly against having anyone even mentioning anything that reminds them of what they want but won’t allow themselves to have. The temptation is just too strong and they are just too weak.

That tells me so much about them.

Also not just any sex, but male anal sex

Lesbians don’t even exist

Moms for Liberty is a Bannonite astroturf fascist op and needs to be relentlessly exposed as such

Connected to Michael Flynn and his Christian Nationalist campaign.

And don’t forget DeVos and the Christianist school tuition paid by taxpayers.

Some want the elimination of all public schools.

It’s clear that, to them, the difference between “teaching” and “indoctrination” is how they feel about the subject matter.

Life must be hell for the LGBTQ+ children of these monsters. No wonder so many kids commit suicide or end up on the streets.

Indeed. You’d think that would give them pause, but at least some of them seem to mean it when they say they’d rather have a dead child than a gay one.

One of the first people I met when I was coming out, was an only child of a couple who disowned him when he came out to them. Not only did they disown him, however, but when people would ask how many children they had, they would say that they didn’t have any children.

Conservative Plan to Destroy the Public Education System:
1. Create fake outrage about “horrible” things kids are being taught.
2. Attack teachers and the education system to sow distrust.
3. Get radical conservatives on local school boards to create havok.
4. Siphon off funding for public schools by creating vouchers for private schools.
5. When educated teachers quit, lower standards to allow others without teaching degrees to “fill the gap”.

Home skoolin about talkin snakes and flat earths.

Mom’s for Liberty is active in my area too. I absolutely despise them! They are an outright fascist group made up of prudes and religious fanatics. They don’t want schools to acknowledge the existence of gay / trans kids and they want to whitewash American history in regards to racism. I think it was in Tennessee where one Mom’s for Liberty member wanted a book on the life of Martin Luther King banned because it was “anti-American”! JFC!

But, according to the article, they are winning. This is the saddest part, so many are supporting them and they’re increasing their control and dominance over others.

It’s because a large section of our population is made up of bigoted idiots. Plus their pleas of “Think of the children” resonates with people with no critical thinking skills.

Books and concepts won’t hurt kids, assault rifle bullets will.

They are going to make sure Disney can’t treat LGBT people as acceptable. They are bigots, through and through.

 

 

Teacher Under Investigation For Showing Disney Movie in Class

A point repeatedly made is that the parent / school board member that is on a rampage about the gay kids in the movie who did not even kiss had no problem with all the kissing done by the straight couple in the beginning of the movie.  The parent / school board member is entirely about removing all representation of gays in schools at any level.  She finds them abhorrent and wants them out of society.   Notice this is not about trans which is where this started, it is about pushing a religious message about being gay is shameful and bad, so don’t admit to being gay.   They must not be allowed to make another generation of gay kids targets of that hate.   Replace gay with Jewish or black and it wouldn’t be accepted, yet.  But that is where these haters are going, back to the 1950s with only Christian white straight males being in charge and gender roles strictly enforced.    Hugs

Florida teacher allegedly investigated for showing students film Strange World

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/13/florida-teacher-allegedly-investigated-for-showing-students-film-strange-world

This is an important article and I hope everyone takes a minute to read it.   Then think about what happened.   A teacher had permission slips to show Disney catalog of movies to her students, and every parent said yes they were OK with their children seeing the Disney movies.   Then this movie Strange World was show and one parent freaked out and filed a complaint against the teacher.   Think of it, again one maga right winger maybe highly religious parent gets to derail the public education of all students to push their rabid right wing agenda.   

So what was in the movie that could be that offensive, you ask?  I did ask that, so Ron and I bought the movie for 20 dollars off Amazon Prime.   Almost from the start, I saw what these MAGA right-winger republican types would hate.   The parents were a loving couple who loved to smooch and kiss as they made breakfast, all very clean and not sexual / porn, just mom and dad quick cute kisses.  So what is offensive about that to the maga?   Well if you have seen the trailer you know that the mom is black and the dad is white.   Which leads to the next maga issue.  

The son, Ethan Clade, is a mixed race drawn with darker skin tone openly gay boy who is accepted by his family and his friends.   In the opening get to meet the characters part of the movie, Ethan’s friends show up with some kind of game cards.  With them is a boy Ethan has a crush on and the movie plays out letting us know in a funny sweet way of Ethan being shy around the boy.  But the movie also makes it clear that the boy Ethan has a crush on likes Ethan as well along with all the friends being OK / happy with the boys being gay and liking each other.   That is when the dad interrupts them and does the dad meeting his son’s boyfriend stating to Ethan how he likes the boy, saying something like he can see why Ethan likes him.   I thought the movie was cute at this part, as most teenagers are embarrassed of their parents around their friends and to meet the one they have a crush on.   

Which leads us to the the last part I think the maga people get angry at.  Remember I have only gotten about a 1/4 of the way into the movie but in the movie the mother, who is black remember, is the outgoing adventurous one who manages to swoop in and save the flying ship.   Imagine the maga people going crazy that a black woman acts to save everyone while the white people cling to the ship trying to hang on.   Oh and also the women in the movie so far are more the adventurers and seeming more capable than the main white man character so far.  Another thing I guess makes maga right-winger upset, the movie destroys their gender role stereotypes.   

In all I like the movie so far.  It is inclusive in a way that real life is.  It is drawn and colored in bright vivid colors.  The dialog and action is fun to watch.  I have not watched a lot of movies in the last few years and I have not watched any animated ones.    But I am really enjoying this one.    But I can see why the republican right winger maga want to destroy Disney and take over what kinds of shows / movies they produce.   This movie is a very far place from the stereotypical gender role models and public social standards of the 1950s that the maga are desperate to return the country to.   Hugs

 

 

Purported investigation after screening of Disney animated movie comes amid governor Ron DeSantis’s attacks on educators

Florida education officials allegedly told a school teacher that she was under a misconduct investigation after, her friend claimed, she showed students the Disney animated film Strange World.

The purported investigation following this alleged showing of Strange World comes amid rightwing Republican governor Ron DeSantis’s attacks on educators that include book censorship and limitations on discussions of race and sex as he jockeys for his party’s presidential nomination with “anti-woke” talking points.

‘The point is intimidation’: Florida teachers besieged by draconian laws
———————————————————————————
 

“My friend showed Disney’s Strange World in a Florida classroom and one student reported it to their parents. Now she’s under investigation by the state,” Carl Zee tweeted on 11 May. “Florida is not safe for teachers, DO NOT MOVE HERE.”

The film involves a group of explorers who try saving a “mysterious land from losing its vital energy source”, per Variety. It also has a prominent gay character – a rarity in children’s animation.

Zee included a photo of a letter from the Florida department of education, stating that “following receipt of a receipt of a complaint, this office has determined an investigation is warranted into allegations that you engaged in inappropriate conduct”.

“If you have evidentiary witnesses or documents pertinent to the case, send them to this office no later than two weeks from receipt of this letter,” the alleged missive continues. CBR.com first reported on Zee’s Tweet.

The alleged letter does not state specific allegations against this teacher. The Florida department of education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In response to a Twitter user who said that teachers who break the law find themselves under investigation, Zee wrote: “She has signed permission from every parent in the classroom to show Disney & Dreamworks movies in class, even offering lines to specify specific movies parents didn’t want shown. Not one exception was written down, so no she didn’t break the law. Try again, doofus.”

News of the alleged investigation is in keeping with Florida teachers’ concerns that they are being stymied and intimidated by new legislation championed by DeSantis. He has claimed, without evidence, that there is “indoctrination in our schools” and allowed his press secretary to claim that teachers are “grooming” pupils.

A new Florida law has effectively resulted in book bans, with classrooms and libraries removing books over concerns they contain “inappropriate” content.

One high school English teacher in Palm Bay, Florida, told the Guardian that a librarian took away a third of the books in his classroom – among them a collection of Emily Dickinson’s poems, which was not on her list of green-lighted books.

DeSantis has also assailed Disney as a company after the entertainment titan pushed back against his “don’t say gay” legislation. He hit back at Disney by signing a bill that took away Disney’s status as a self-governing special district near Orlando.

Disney fought back against DeSantis, filing a federal lawsuit contending that he retaliated against the company for expressing its first amendment right to free speech. In the suit, Disney is asking to stop the governor’s attempted takeover of the special district.

But the teacher wuz trying to turn his students into gays!!! 🙀

Tell the teacher to show the kids Song Of The South and all will be forgiven. It’s hard to find since Disney threw it in the vault and ate the key, but the DeSantis crowd will love him/her for it.

I’ll bet that teachers and medical professionals will also be leaving, as well as high school graduates who want a real college education. It’s a crime what republicans are doing.

Yep, my daughter’s teacher friend from Florida already packed it in and moved away to a blue state where she gets paid a LOT more and has more freedom to teach. She is urging her fellow teachers stuck in that hell hole to get the fuck out now.

There won’t be a teacher left in FL.

They’ve already got a plan in place to hire less-than-honorably-discharged ex-military and rogue cops to teach the kids. They will be armed at all times so the kids will be totally safe.

So, there literally is a war against one of the most popular companies in the world right there in Florida. Evangelicals can literally destroy anything.

Them Disney folk are witches, we gunna dunk them deep into the ocean to see if they die, it they die then maybe they not witches.

Investigating a teacher for showing a Disney film? Migrant workers are leaving your state in droves, which will affect construction projects, the gathering of crops, the hotel and hospitality sector of tourism, and God knows what else, and you’re still trying to stomp on Disney by going after a teacher for showing a film? Lord love a duck, just how stupid are you, Ron?

Don’t forget that the SEAWEED MONSTER has come to destroy their beaches and recreational tourism, but let’s focus on a fricken kids animated movie that might have a gay cartoon character in it.

I find it so ironic that Republicans think that all this banning of everything is “freedom.”

The party of “limited government” strikes again.

So, signed a permission slip and still complaining? Dishonorable creep.

One parent complained. ONE. So nobody gets to watch it. That sure sounds like cancel culture to me. I’ll bet the parent who complained didn’t even have any children in the school.

 

Busted: See GOP’s DeSantis shredded on TV over book bans, as writer claps back

Let’s talk about Missouri and a failed power play….

Why it Matters – I Liked You More When You Drank. By Randy

I live in Michigan, so I am allowed to make this statement:  The Lions have demonstrated an ability to consistently disappoint their fans to a level only surpassed, maybe, by the Cleveland Browns.  And yet, my uncle was not only a great fan of the Lions team but wouldn’t miss a game on tv.  Picture1 That, my friends, is the mark of a true fan:  it isn’t the fact that the product is the best in quality, best in performance, best in taste, it’s the fact that a fan is a fan for no better reason than he has chosen to be a fan.  Thereby lives a love of heartbreak, ridicule, and a test of loyalty sufficient to scar any soul forever.   I of course come from much better stock:  I am a fan of the Chicago Bears.  Da Bears!   If you’ve not solved this puzzle by now, this is not about the Lions.  Don’t get me wrong, they will forever disappoint – Sorry Uncle Bob – but  this post regards how a beer company has received backlash for sending beer to someone who is an internet influencer.  Now, there are few things in this world that I purposely choose not to pay attention to, and among those are the Lions and things that republicans and rednecks have chosen to cancel in their anti-cancel-culture rants.  Yes, that’s confusing.  It makes more sense if you drink a lot of low-quality beer and believe what Tucker Calson tells you.

Loyalty trumps Competence, as the saying goes.  And, while there are those who believe Bud Light cheated on them, I expect to find all of those who have made a Picture2lifetime commitment with their Bud Light beer that has weathered two marriages, four kids, eight teeth and 29-stories that start with “dude, hold my beer…” will be drinking again like nothing happened.   In time they will forget why they were mad at a beer – because let’s face it, who gets mad at beer?  And, those of us watching from the sidelines, even as reluctantly as I, will remember that this was never about the beer, never about the internet influencer, but was ultimately about the homo- and the trans-phobic prejudice and hate that was so easily stirred to cause the easily led to put down their favorite beer.

I, for one, am going to continue to buy Bud Light.  Mainly because it’s very drinkable – as the joke goes it’s much like sex in a canoe.    What I would like to hear them ask these detractors is why they are so against someone being who they are? Picture3 Who are they to not only disparage the character of that person, but to speak as if a beer company deserves to be shot for treating a person as a living and worthwhile person?  Each of us in America is born with the freedom to voice our opinion.  It bothers me that so many have chosen to use this freedom to be so manipulated as to only be able to speak hate and so weak as to give up a beer they appear to love for the affront of giving another citizen simple respect.  What are they truly angry or afraid of?

I love Randy’s writing.   He has a way of getting his heartfelt ideas across with words that few can manage.  I am glad he has offered to add his voice here.  When Randy was talking with me on this post, he mentioned it might help people understand how stupid this unwarranted hate response was if people could see the video that these bigots are responding to.   Also remember that these cans of beer with Dylan Mulvaney’s picture on them were not mass-produced, were never for sale to the public.   These few cans were just a promotional gimmick and were not intended for putting in stores.   This was not a national commercial but only on social media.    If the bigots and haters had ignored it, then very few would even have known of the entire thing.   But the haters managed to gin this up using a fake outrage over something not happening and getting people who drink a mediocre mass-produced beer to question their own manhood.  That was what this was about, men fearing a beer that had let a trans woman promote it made them less than a man if they drank it, made them less masculine, maybe others would question the size of their penis by the beer they drank because a few cans had a trans woman on them.   That is what this is really about, look at how the men reacted in destroying the cans of beer, with displays of macho destruction while yelling about how manly they are.   In fact most hate of trans people is about fear of measuring up to some mythical stereotypical standards for what is masculine or feminine.     Below is the social media promotion by Dylan Mulvaney.   Hugs

*** it was hard to find just the video with no commentary added.  The comments are the YouTube page constantly cisgender Dylan as he and calling her a gay man.  Dylan Mulvaney identifies as a trans woman, and she is proud to be a woman.   Hugs

“Do You REALLY Think I’m Indoctrinating Students?”

A remarkable student comes forward at a school board meeting and shares the importance of lgbtq+ rights and transgender rights. The students shares the struggles the trans community faces in states like Missouri, North Carolina and Florida. The transgender community needs support now more than ever, especially in the young people like this student here.

Damn amazing!     I think this boy will go far in life, and it gives me hope for the future.   We need more young people like him.  Sadly the school board won’t listen to him or his supporters.   They have their idea that adults know so much more than kids do about their own body.   Why because their god tells them this in a book written 2,500 years ago amended and incorrectly translated over centuries, that this boy can not exist.   Their personal view of 1950s gender ideology and their political desires make this boy’s testimony something they scoff at and won’t hear.   Yet in a few years this boy and his friends will vote these people out of office if we still have a democracy.   And that terrifies these religious conservative bigots enough that they want to do way with democracy and allowing people to vote.     Hugs
