What is this hellish poison???

The wife has a book for trans kids that says "it feels good to be yourself" --- how are they being themselves if.... Make this stop!

Gender Spectrum, to which Jess Thorn claims his wife is donating her book proceeds, is partnered with the Biden foundation.

Among other nefarious activities, Gender Spectrum goes into schools and tries to convince kids that biological sex is a spectrum. A few years ago, Gender Spectrum boasted about targeting Latino kids.

And this creepy organization is partnered with the foundation of the president of the United States. Surreal and incredibly frightening.

In ~12-15 years, we're going to have This American Life on NPR doing a show called "My Parents Transed Me." It will be all about how their lives were ruined by their well-intentioned, but tragically misguided parents.

"I know my parents meant well, but I was just 5 years old. I didn't understand what any of this meant. And now I have all these health problems from years of drugs and surgeries. They just didn't know what they were doing. None of them did."

It sucks but boy am I looking forward to it.

I don't know that I'm looking forward to it because today's kids are the victim's of all this.

They are the victims but have you seen teen TRAs? Just... sad.

Disgusting. It’s obvious that celebrities like him and his wife do shit like that because they get showered with praise and virtue signalling points by their reality bubble, which these people crave. These people are some of the most selfish, narcissistic, detached from reality people you could ever meet. Hopefully his son will seek to undo the damages done to him by his parents as much as possible and sue them for the abuse.

Having a trans child is the new must-have for a certain type of urban/suburban parent. In the area I live, full of Woke Hipsters, it is the new accessory, although I think the trend is already fading among the kids.

I’m glad it’s fading among the kids, but hopefully this stops completely before too much irreversible damage has been done.

Considering the state of NPR's "reporting" these days -- that figures.
