Seriously, fuck the American school system. On the one hand, I'm happy that (in one particular case out of many) bullying is being discouraged. But back in the 80's/ 90's when I went to school, they were most certainly not showing videos about how to be nice to LGB kids. Both the students and the teachers had no problem being homophobic, and the teachers had no problems looking the other way when kids wanted to bully other kids for "Being L/G" (I put that in quotes because many kids who I'm 100% certain were straight got accused of being gay or lesbian and got bullied viciously for it. "Gay/Lesbian" was just an excuse to bully, and there was no way to disprove it one the accusation was hurled at you. The accusation only stopped when people got bored with it.)

Now class-time is being wasted on learning how to kiss trans ass? Are you kidding me?

Show anti-bullying videos, take anti-bullying seriously, single out children who are displaying bullying-behavior and give them one-on-one attention and teach them to not bully, single out children who are prone to getting bullied, and coach them how to not appear like a target (I know this sounds like victim-blaming, but it's not. There's always that one kid in school that has a giant "bully me" sign following him around. That child can be given important life skills and the opportunity to modify his behavior so that he doesn't remain a target for the rest of his life.)

Bullying has been going on in American schools for such a long time that it is basically considered normal. But with trans kids they draw the line??? Why not kids on the spectrum? Why not disabled kids? Why not kids who are obviously getting abused at home? Why not poor and disadvantaged kids? Why not the immigrant and minority kids? Why are the trans kids the ones getting the royal treatment after all other kids have been told to get fucked?

Because it's about money: transitioning children makes them into lifelong, VERY PROFITABLE, medical experiments.

$$$ are why Trans, Inc., has gotten so much traction with the US Democrats.

But also there are a few gay and transgender men, and Soros, pumping money into the gender lobby.

Thinking about that makes it all make sense now.

Its still so freaking disgusting and inhumane tho. What gets me is how excited some adults get when denying reality to children, like I know they know better, but they just LOVE jumping on all things "progressive".

It's because many people don't have time to analyze each issue and arrive at their own conclusions so they just assume that their party has the correct stance.

I see this all the time with Progressive friends: They will swallow transgender activists talking points because it's part of the Democrats' platform and they're Democrats so trust that the Democratic party is correct on this issue. They don't actually think the issue through, much less think of how negative an impact it will have on their own and their children's lives.

That is, until they wake up. But at that point, these Progressive have so self-internalized a fear of "transphobia" and also know the consequences of speaking out in Progressive circles, that they stay silent.

That's why if you're a Progressive it's really important to talk to your Progressive friends. Once some of us break the silence, the dam will burst because transgender activist talking points make sense to no one, and many people are just waiting for others to speak up.

That's so sad. It means they could have done something legit about bullying (so many kids kill themselves because of it, or have a lifetime of trauma) but chose not to. For fuck's sake, they could have done something about lunch debt. They could have done something about so many things.

But instead, let's harm kids and groom them and make them trans. They will never admit that they never cared about the children.
