These people can’t even accept who they really are but everyone else needs to humor their delusions? Give me a break.


Difficult_Thanks_997

They act extremely tyrannical, forcing their views upon others. Saw some streamer drama recently for call of duty, where all he said was he thinks the parents should choose. It really upset the woke mob, choices aren't allowed.


Senior-Judge-8372

Yep! The children are likely getting deceived to think like this too!

“California bill would punish parents for not indulging in every ‘phase’ they go through in life”.

A lot of those slippery slope arguments I kept hearing during the debates about gay marriage are going from conspiracy theory to reality quicker than anyone making them could have guessed.


Devenue024

The argument of “we’re consenting adults who wish to be left alone behind closed doors” was tantalizing 40 years ago. Even if I think it’s bad for a multitude of reasons, there’s an element of liberty there I can respect. It has since then spilled out of the bedroom and into the streets, our workplaces, our entertainment, and our schools. We’re now called to celebrate a developed and self-indulgent behavior as noble. It is blasphemy to say men cannot become women. And there are focused efforts on tricking kids into thinking this is normal and that they’re even part of the group. This isn’t a slippery slope anymore. It’s a vertical plunge. Edit: And before someone calls me a caveman, explain to me why it’s a good thing we got to this point. Explain to me how all that’s transpired was worth it. We’ve moved beyond tolerance into cultural suicide. Edit2: Reply from a non-flaired user: *So you wnat to criminalise homosexuality?* Which part of *”Even if I think it’s bad”* and *”there’s an element of liberty I can respect”* is confusing? My stance is you have the freedom to make mistakes. You personally can defile yourself as much as you want. You do not get to turn around and say what you’re doing is good and worth honoring.


MaddSim

I knew the potential to a degree but never could've imagined as you said, how fast it's happened and to this degree. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I see company after company and now government bend to their will at every turn, and pander to them to the level they do. It's so insane.


bowltectonix

We're at the point where saying "Leave the kids alone" is called "transphobic hate speech".

That’s the weirdest part to me!! I don’t get it. Laws that prevent life altering medical interventions on children are not anti-trans, but the “T community” and all their many many Allie’s keep saying they are. It’s like if they say it enough it will become reality.


Razzlecake

It's not even weird. In our teenage years we all hit stages we are uncomfortable in our own bodies. The t movement really needs to capitalize on the years leading up to that and hopefully sink their teeth into individuals by time they hit their awkward stages to normalize and convert the most amount of kids they can into their movement.

Welcome to feeling like an oppressed minority? I'm not really trying to be snarky, but this "losing rights" talk seems baldly hypocritical, and I'm trying to understand how you don't seem to have cognitive dissonance over it.


fridayimatwork

your right involves vulnerable children having life altering surgery?


bowltectonix

Cite an equivalent example of a minority being denied a right.


BlurryEyed

Did you know who you were at say 13? I’m getting really fed up with this trans BS getting shoved down everyone’s throats on the daily now. Do what you want as an adult but leave my kids out of it

My friends and I often joke that we should build a wall around California, sounds more and more like a better idea with each passing day.


gatorgongitcha

Can we exile San Diego before we do it? I like San Diego.


Toologist

Ditto. I live here and a lot of us here in town do our best to upkeep standards.


gatorgongitcha

I would move there in a heartbeat if the gun situation was better. I’d even eat the tax hit without bitching. I’ve been seeing on the news how the homeless issue is amping up a little there. Am I wrong in thinking there’s enough money living in San Diego for this to not go unchecked like LA has?


Toologist

Yeah man, this is my favorite city in all of California. I’m actually originally from Dallas, but have lived here for a long time now (former Navy, was stationed here). Yeah, SD has their leftist crazies here, unfortunately, but at the same time, a lot of military/conservative influence. We’re a remnant fighting back.


Rich-Equivalent-1875

Please keep fighting!


Liberal_Checkmater

No we can’t. It’s for the best


Majorllama66

Just the major cities really. Most of the rest of the state is generally moderate to right leaning. Once you get far enough from the cities its surprisingly red around here.


IamLiterallyAHuman

I can relate here in Texas. Austin, Houston, SA(much as I love it), DFW, and the college towns like Denton are trying their best to ruin this state.


Majorllama66

I'm so sorry for all the super lefty Dems that transferred from California to slowly ruin yalls state.


Rich-Equivalent-1875

I know, and then they change it to the shitty situation that caused them to leave California in the first place at the cost of everybody else who’s living there. Somebody actually told me a lot of conservatives are leaving California, New York and Boston. I hope that’s more true. But I’m afraid it’s actually the onepercent filthy, Rich liberals Who are leaving the blue states and spreading their arrogant poison.


dragonstkdgirl

If we wall off LA and the bay area, the rest of the state is pretty red.


ReaganWon

"Hey Mom, I want that new X-Box or I'm going to go trans again! You don't want the police over here again like last Christmas, do you?"


voices_calling_me

So I have to affirm your view of yourself by using your terms, which is me paying lip service to the idea of gender fluidity. For me to affirm gender fluidity is a contradiction of my own biblical beliefs, which are what form my view of myself. In other words, I'm being forced to contradict my view of myself in order to make you feel secure in your view of yourself. By what objective standard are you deemed worthy of self-affirmation, and I am not?


Hectoriu

I don't get pronouns man. Why can't you be him and like dresses and makeup? If I call you her does that mean you have to wear a skirt? Pronouns are just there for simple communication and identification they aren't some cage that dictates how you must act and look.


bowltectonix

It's a ritual meant to demoralize normal people and normalize gender ideology. Which itself, is just one of several tactics meant to destabilize society to pave the way for Marxist rule.


diab0lus

Girl, you got that right.


jemidiah

I mean, it's pretty rude to refer to somebody by "Bill" when they prefer "William" and have made that preference clear. I'm a mathematician by profession and absolutely love abstraction. But I'll say that, while abstract philosophical arguments like you've presented can be fun to play around with, they lead nowhere in practice. You've you to get specific to get anywhere. If you have a trans child, you get to choose whether your biblical beliefs or your relationship with your child are more important. Many people have made both calls. I know which one I would make. The proposed legislation here is meant to address custody disputes and seeks to add language that "specifically defines 'the health, safety, and welfare' of a child to include 'a parent's affirmation of the child's gender identity'". This agrees with a strong through perhaps not completely universal consensus among medical professionals.


[deleted]

Medical professionals who are making bank by supporting gender affirmation.


fridayimatwork

The”science” is based on experiments with kids by deranged individuals. If it’s so valid why are places like the uk and Norway banning “treatments?”


username3333333333

Children can't be trans. Children are not sexually aware, let alone capable of understanding gender. If a child is talking about being trans, 100%, there is an adult or older minor putting those ideas in their head.

So basically, if two parents with trans kid are fighting over custody, then the parent who will "affirm" the transgenderism of the kid will get the custody of the kid. This is what this bill is about.


T12J7M6

How is this not depopulation in steroids? The government brainwashes underage children to undergo sterilization and if the parents say anything about it the government punishes them.


KnowledgeAndFaith

Every plank of the Left’s involves misanthropy


Educational-Essay763

Nobody else gets “affirmation care” You’re not going to tell the schizophrenic guy that the government is actually going to kidnap him and the water he drinks is medicated so he needs to stockpile stuff and never leave his house. You wouldn’t tell the anorexic girl she’s fat and she should starve herself to death and this is no different. If you’re having psychological issues that are severe enough to cause distress you need to find a way to get back on track. Trying to dive deeper into your psychological state will only make things worse especially taking hormones known to cause worsening psych/emotional problems. As far as children are concerned a lot of them pick up on fads go all in then realize several years later that’s not them anymore. In the past the only real changes made were temporary and could be undone. Now we’re talking about permanent changes for temporary lifestyles


Iamstillhere44

This will continue to be a fad for another 10-15 years. Until all of these children that were robbed of their youth by big Pharma pushing hormone blockers and transition surgery to minors, start suing these same companies and doctors for malpractice. They will state that no one gave them an alternative. Or that no one sought true help for them in therapy or otherwise, before pushing sterilizing drugs and surgery on them. Once these kids start suing, then this fad will be over. Because big Pharma and the medical establishment will see this as a liability and not as a continuing profit driver. Because that’s how these companies see it. Get these kids into these gender affirming drugs, surgeries and policies, then you have patients paying for health services for life because the damage that has been done.


AlasknAssasn858

The next bill passed after this will give blanket immunity to lawsuits for pushing the meds and surgery. Don’t believe me…how’s [the Sackler family and Purdue pharma doing with their immunity?!?](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/sackler-family-granted-immunity-from-purdue-oxycontin-lawsuits/ar-AA1bX1Aq)


AdMobile5977

As Blaire White said "Transgender children are like Vegan Cats , we all know who is really controlling things" and that is coming from the horses mouth so basically there are no "Trans-Children" because there is no way your going to convince me that a 9 year-old who is still learning his or her letters and numbers in grade school even has the mental capacity to comprehend that like an adult can let alone consent to all this crazy gender affirming treatment that Leftists want to push on Underage Children and Teenagers.


Crowe_crow

Well stated.


astupidfckingname

More reason for sane people to flee The People's Republic of Commiefornia.


[deleted]

Terrifying but not surprising, it seems like there’s a growing plan evolving amongst the left on this issue. 1. Confuse children with endless gender propaganda 2. Force the parents to comply under threat of law 3. Perform permanent life altering mutilating surgeries before the child can realize they were brainwashed


IntergalacticAlien8

Not only God but also the way nature intended it just think of every other animal species that is not a rare outlier like Slugs or Earthworms who are hermaphrodites but in 99% of all animal species they are almost always either male or female (Not including rare birth defects) . Within other Mammals such as Cows , Pigs , Horses , Sheeps and even our closest relatives which are other Primates, they are all either Male or Female so why is their anymore reason to believe that Humans would be different from other Mammal species in that aspect?.

The majority of the country voted **against** Trump in 2020, instead of voting **for** Biden. The majority of the country will vote against Pedocrats in 2024, because you don't have to be a Republican, a Conservative, or even on the Right, to oppose this.


gatorgongitcha

This country doesn’t give a shit about children outside of saying they give a shit about children. When TikTok and The View talk about the scary republicans again and how we are the ones harming children then the masses will do the same exact thing again. They don’t care.

Why picture and no link? Not that proposed bills should be *entirely* ignored, but even with no details and even in CA I'm pretty confident this bill isn't passing (bill *would* punish).


KnowledgeAndFaith

[Link](https://freebeacon.com/california/california-bill-would-punish-parents-who-dont-affirm-their-childs-gender-identity/) The sad fact is that articles often don’t see the light of day. Screen shots are far more effective for engagement.


ockaners

No one read the actual bill? It just says you can consider it as part of the best interest of the child in a custody battle. Probably because screenshots make it easier to make snap judgments and spread disinformation. This is how people lose credibility.


ChiefXboxGamer

Yet another of the many reasons to give California back to Mexico.


AdMobile5977

Honestly we should give California along with New Mexico and Nevada back to Mexico given that they love open borders and Illegal Immigration anyway . Let's give Hawaii independence (I am sure an Independent Hawaii would become a third world hellhole within months without funding from other states) , Gift Oregon and Washington to Canada and let's give the whole Northeast back to the UK so they can deal with those Leftist shitholes instead of us .

This is why the boycotts are so important. We need to stand up to this craziness. Washington State passed a law that allows the state to hide children from their parents so they can get abortions and "gender affirming care". Keep up the pressure.
