I wrote a piece yesterday on an article in VICE talking about TRANSport, a nonprofit set up to help transgender people get out of the country, or at least to a safer state. The trans woman who was featured said there were “like 30 states right now” that she wouldn’t even drive through. She was considering seeking asylum in Iceland, though it wasn’t clear if Iceland was accepting trans refugees from America. The article described the “increasingly hostile national climate” and “the devolving situation in the U.S.”
What struck me was the idea that the United States is an “increasingly hostile” climate for transgender people. Look how much has been done to accommodate such a tiny minority. Dictionaries are changing their definition of “woman”; the Marines are considering getting rid of sir and ma’am so officers aren’t misgendered; a woman just lost her job at a game company for following supposedly transphobic accounts on Twitter (like Libs of TikTok); The Babylon Bee, a satire site, was suspended from Twitter for months for calling Rachel Levine a man.
And then there are the schools, with their “transition closets,” which will encourage a student’s transition while keeping it secret from the child’s parents. One school took its Twitter account private after a first-grade teacher announced that a doctor makes a guess when a baby is born if it’s a boy or a girl, and sometimes the doctor gets it wrong.
That’s one of the teachings inside of a book at this elementary school’s pride display; doctors sometimes guess wrong.
Book display in a Maryland elementary school. These books discuss topics on gender identity including that doctors "guess" a baby's gender and toddlers can know if they are transgender.
These are the book they're reading to kids in schools. pic.twitter.com/ZJOhXbleLw

Tell me again about the “devolving situation in the U.S.” for trans people when we’ve gone so far to humor them.
This is just indoctrination to the Woke mindset that is being taught in the U.S. school system. The younger someone is indoctrinated into a belief system the easier it is to make them have the hive mentality and the overall group think that is wanted by those indoctrinating them

The earlier you get to the kids, the more successful you’ll be in making sure they don’t grow up “cisnormative,” assuming a person with a penis is a man and that’s “normal.”
Intentional confusion to sow chaos. They want our kids to be a disaster so they can seize control. The more chaos, the easier it is for authoritarians to convince the population their control is needed.

The indoctrination is very thorough
Gotta give em that

Toddlers think anything under the sink is the best food
Anyone that says they can make gender decisions is a liar

Why do they have to guess? That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. 🤦♂️ Like they spend all that time at medical school learning about the human body and opening cadavers, then when it comes to genitals, who knows 🤷♂️ Ugh 😑

Doctors "guess" the gender and have an amazing accuracy rating.

Doctors were better guessers pre 2000. #sorrynotsorry 🤣

This is more revealing than even the book authors realize. "I don't like what other girls think is pretty. I don't like pink, or dolls, or putting bows in my hair. I don't like my name. I don't like the clothes other girls wear. I must not be a girl then!" 🙄 pic.twitter.com/kTDRA4KGFq

Without these books my transgender 4 month old daughter wouldn’t be who she is today. Do better.

We are going to see the consequences of this for decades to come.

I thank God everyday that I’m not a kid today and that I don’t have children of that age.

But according to them, they aren't grooming your kids.

Saying the g-word would have gotten you suspended a few months ago.
If determining gender based on genitalia is a guess, why do we need gender ‘affirming’ surgery to alter genitalia?
— Tom (@BurtGruber) January 10, 2023
The Biden administration has gone all in on “gender-affirming care” — President Biden made a video for Trans Day of Awareness to assure trans kids that “I’ve got your back.”
