So has transgender from what I can tell there wasn’t a moral panic until things like men competing with sports, prepubescent hormones, removing of breasts, proper pronouns. Etc etc came into the picture.
I knew where you were in a dangerous place when someone is powerful and famous as J. K. Rowling possibly getting in trouble for so-called hate speech in Scotland we don’t need that here. In my opinion that’s the panic that this will go to law with many saying things similar to what your saying now “I don’t understand the big deal just use the proper pronoun and don’t say someone’s not a woman”.
Things seemed OK before all this happened. I always understood the gay marriage thing but the trans thing just seemed odd. They’ve always been around. We just never bender rules and laws for them before.
She isn’t getting into trouble. She is doing the exact same thing that Jordan Peterson did which is make up something about a law and pretend that the government is coming for them.
She is making herself the victim of her own imagination.
Things seemed okay to you because it was out of sight and repressed.
This may very well be true, however; the effort to normalize this behavior has not.
This is where the friction exists. The explicit effort to normalize and promote deviant and in some cases mentally unstable behavior.
And to children. Then when WE protest what others are teaching OUR children, we are hit by a litany of hate and name calling.
We are told that our religious views should be kept to ourselves even while you parade trannys before our children.
And you wonder where the collective outrage comes from?
Really?
Which part is oppressed? If you’re talking about employment or someone was harming someone based on gender identity I would agree that is wrong. if one is talking oppressed because they weren’t allowed to compete against biological woman in sports, transition a child, or must be referred to with the proper pronoun where at impasse on what oppression is.
And you don’t like being “required” to validate others’ emotions, do you? (I put that word in quotes because in reality, no one is “required” to do anything…but that’s a subject for a deeper dive).
Yet here some Christians are demanding that whatever Sunday Easter falls on be “ringfenced” against anything they don’t like being celebrated/recognized the same day…else they are being “disrespected” or “cancelled”.
All people should be respected.
What happened here is not a question of respect or disrespect.
It’s being called that by a subset of Christians who frame everything as revolving around them.
Which is, I might add, an un-Christian like attitude.
The fact that drag has been around doesn’t mean it has to be done in grade schools and it isn’t about comedy. It’s about pushing the idea to little children that men in dresses is normal.
I wonder if pastors could tell Bible stories to kids in public schools? But we both no that would never be allowed
Do you want strangers guiding your children in religious matters?
If it was voluntary like Drag Queen Story Hour I guess not… but it seems that ther perceived balance for having Drag Queens read to children is to have Preachers read to children and I don’t see what is stopping them.
