This is what conservatives back in the day were afraid of: "the gays" brainwashing kids into being gay and trying to recruit them to the "gay agenda". Now it's happening unironically with trans, 500+ sexualities, and pronoun bullshit. No wonder LGBT support is declining.

Yay for proving that the slippery slope fallacy is the weakest fallacy because it keeps coming true, and is therefore not really a fallacy!

Pretty much! The only place conservatives fucked up (at least in this specific example) is thinking you can bully or brainwash someone into (or out of) same sex attraction. You can't. But you absolutely CAN bully and brainwash people into being trans and parroting the 'correct' views on gender identity politics.

Yeah. The only part they really got wrong was that there was an extra step involved. The same people and organizations they said would be doing this are doing it, but the T had to be added first so they could be the beneficiary of all this nonsense. They never were worried about the ins and outs of sexuality, they just knew the queers would try to taint the children, and that's exactly what's happening.

There's misconception about that fallacy. There's a difference between the "slippery slope fallacy" and "slippery slope arguments." All slippery slope fallacies are slippery slope arguments, but not all slippery slope arguments are fallacious. The fallacious ones are defined by the proposed consequences of a said action or movement being wild and unlikely. Clearly, this argument was not as wild and unlikely as we would've liked to think, and thus was not fallacious (in this way - I'd say it still was in other ways since the consequences are with a different group than the same-sex attracted).

They should really rename the fallacy.

That's also why there's a fallacy fallacy. Even if someone's argument is or appears fallacious, that does not mean that the argument is inherently false. It may be fully or partially true due to reasons not brought up in the fallacious argument, so just saying, "Ah! That's a strawman!" or "Boo! That's a slippery slope fallacy!" is not enough to disregard another's argument.

It does mean the other party is bad at arguing, but not that they are wrong

This is so going to go SO well with parents. The SJW queer idiots destroy all the good faith gay rights movement has spent decades to built.

Honestly it probably is. Most parents of 0-5 year olds right now are 25-35 years old. They love this shit.

Ew and they used the """hermaphrodite""" intersex flag.

Great! Indoctrinate your kids from a young age to teach them that people like me are "he-shes" and subhuman. Fuck off.

I'm sorry. I don't even know how the hell a 3 year old is supposed to know what any of that means. It's obviously just pandering to their parents. 'P' being for 'Pride' for kids can be shown as like... a kid being proud of making their own sandcastle or something. Obvious pandering.

God why did they have to choose the BLM Trans Pride flag?
