Social Trans Pride flag hung at Yosemite National Park off El Capitan

[SurferH2O]

People can't even go to Yosemite without having to deal with the mental illness of the transgender movement.

Hey honey... let's go escape with the kids.... AH GEEZ....

dude, you guys always have problems with flags... I remember the fit with that Kaepernick guy who kneel to the national anthem and got canceled because it was a disrespect to the flag. Flag banned because of its size in some business, some people mad because it was too big, some people mad because it had to be taken down. Meanwhile there's flags on everything, even "disrespectful" things and people doesnt get as mad. I don't know, from my point of view it all seems like people looking for reasons to get mad at flags when they could be directing this energy to concrete realistic things that promote real change.

Looks like insanity to me, but nobody ever accused me of being a normal guy... so to each their own, not my country.

I don't know who "us guys" is, you're responding to me and I'm just one person.

Flags on everything? What are you talking about, flags of countries?

US is not my country either, but this is not exclusive to the US, it's being pushed in many countries while the vast majority of sane people are just like "fuck off with that, I don't give a shit about your sex life".

I could never imagine getting upset over a flag

Unless it was a Nazi or KKK flag, that would make sense.

There s a difference between rejecting a message projected in a flag and getting upset. A flag is there to project something, it’s proselytism by definition. It s for everyone to see. That s why it s there. Just because you support the message in that flag, doesn t mean you would accept all flags. Stop being silly and using prepackaged rebuttals that don t even make sense.

They literally passed laws in some states where the school can hide their kid's transition from their parents. California is a prime example.

Some states and countries literally determine child custody in divorce by how much they "affirm."

The three major banned books (only banned in public school librairies) are "Gender Queer: A Memoir" by Maia Kobabe, "All Boys Aren't Blue" by George M. Johnson, and "This Book is Gay" by Juno Dawson.

All three show sexually explicit content with illustrations depicting sex - including butt sex, sexual experiences with an adult, using Grindr, etc.

Not to mention the worst of them all - giving children puberty blockers and cross sex hormones. All people who do that should be in jail. All those things are "going after kids."

No, transitioning in CA requires parental permission for those under 18.
What CA allowed is for students under 18 to be able to express their gender identity at school without notifying parents, which is generally a good thing.

Using affirmation as a significant factor in determining child custody is also a good thing. It makes all the sense in the world to put a child with a parent who is supportive of the,, rather than shaming or stigmatizing them.

I like how you said “the 3 major banned books” as if there aren’t 1700+ unique titles being banned.
“Gender Queer,” as you noted by its title, is a memoir, as is “All Boys Aren’t Blue.”
“All Boys Aren’t Blue”—which, btw, is intended for readers aged 16+—came under fire for discussing sexual assault. And I think that’s interesting, because 1 of every 9 girls and 1 of 20 boys is the victim of sexual assault, yet even though this terrible thing could realistically and statistically happen to them, we can’t talk about it for some reason.
In Fairfax, VA, parental complaints lead to the banning of that book. After a committee made up of students, their parents, teachers, and administrators read the book, they rightly put it back on the shelf. Here’s what they said about it:

• The book is a well-written, scientifically based narrative of one person’s journey with gender identity that contains information and perspective that is not widely represented. This depiction includes the difficulties nonbinary and asexual individuals may face. The book has literary value in its structure, voice, and themes and has won literary awards.
• Students with a related experience will feel affirmed and others can gain understanding and empathy.
• The resources referenced in the book provide access to additional, reliable information.
• The book neither depicts nor describes philia. (This was the alleged reason for the banning)

In that blurb above, you can find the real reason for the banning: “Students with a related experience will feel affirmed and others can gain understanding and empathy.”
Conservatives of course are afraid of those people, bigoted towards those people, and hate those people—they don’t want them having resources, feeling affirmed or anyone to have compassion or empathy for them.

Gender dysphoria is listed as a mental disorder under DSM-5.

If it wasn't, then health insurance shouldn't cover anything trans. You can't have it both ways.

The DSM-5 states clearly “gender non-conformity is not in itself a mental disorder.”
Trans people can have gender dysphoria, not all do. I think though that people would probably just lie about the dysphoria part if they had to for insurance purposes.

Several states hide their kid's social transition from parents in schools. I am 100% against ALL forms of hiding things from parents about their kids. Who the fuck are the schools to decide this? Absolutely ridiculous.

Parental rights trumps what a school wants.

Using affirmation as a significant factor in determining child custody is also a good thing. It makes all the sense in the world to put a child with a parent who is supportive of the,, rather than shaming or stigmatizing them.

That is just straight retarded. So if a parent doesn't use neo-pronouns xe/xem/xyr, ze/hir/hirs, they can lose custody. LMAO.

Do you realize how fucking retarded that is? This is codified into law in some places like Colorado.

Bro they're showing a fucking illustrated blowjob in Gender Queer. This shit is not appropriate for kids. If you think this is appropriate for elementary school kids, you're a complete fucktard.

PDF file behavior in All Boys are Blue.

Full on butt sex with a cousin.

Describing butt sex and how to do it in This Book is Gay.

The DSM-5 states clearly “gender non-conformity is not in itself a mental disorder.”

The DSM was changed for POLITICAL reasons. Because there is a social stigma to saying something is a mental disorder or illness.

Depression, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder - things like that are all classified as a mental illness under DSM. And thus they can be treated by insurance.

If you want to insist gender dysphoria is not a mental disorder, then WHY SHOULD INSURANCE COVER ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT?

Trans people can have gender dysphoria, not all do. I think though that people would probably just lie about the dysphoria part if they had to for insurance purposes.

Bullshit. For most of the history of transgenderism, you were only considered trans if you had gender dysphoria. It's only the nonbinary, blue haired activists trying to change what being trans is.

There's a whole community of real transgender people that disagree with your notion you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans. They're called transmedicalists.

They (correctly) believe Being transgender and having gender dysphoria is a medical condition.

So answer this: If you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans, why in the world should medical insurance or prisons cover anything to do with trans medical care?

It’s not aboutwhat the school wants, it’s about what the student wants. If you don’t want your kid keeping things like this from you, be a better parent. One study showed that 40% of trans kids in foster care reported being kicked out. Each year, over 1/4 of LGBTQ youth are kicked out of the house by bigoted, narrow minded, hateful “parents.”
I wish we lived in a world where parents could be encouraging and supportive to their queer kids, but sadly that seems to be too much to ask for a lot of parents. Don’t blame schools because your kids don’t feel comfortable talking to you, blame yourself—and then work on fixing it.

That is just straight retarded. So if a parent doesn't use neo-pronouns xe/xem/xyr, ze/hir/hirs, they can lose custody. LMAO.

Do you realize how fucking retarded that is? This is codified into law in some places like Colorado.

No, I’m afraid I do not realize how “retarded” that is. Seems like common sense to me: if parents are divorcing, and a judge is deciding custody, granting primary custody to the parent that actually nurtures and supports the child as opposed to one who is unsupportive or even bigoted seems like a reasonable decision.

Bro they're showing a fucking illustrated blowjob in Gender Queer. This shit is not appropriate for kids. If you think this is appropriate for elementary school kids, you're a complete fucktard.
PDF file behavior in All Boys are Blue.

The book is for ages 16+, it is not sitting on shelves in elementary school libraries across the country. You guys constantly try and act like these books are being peddled to small children, and it’s just dishonest bullshit.
Omg, high schoolers might possibly read about anal sex? They should already know that exists from sex ed. When I went to school—in a red state, back in the 90s—sex ed was started in like 6th grade, covered more fully in 7th grade. These books are not part of any curriculum, no one is forced to read them.

But more importantly—parent your damn kids. You prattle on about parental rights, yet you not only want to make the decision as to what books are available to your kids, but what books are available to everyone else’s kids too.

I said being trans is not a mental disorder, and not all trans people experience gender dysphoria, which is true. I already addressed the point about insurance. Many times insurance will not cover it if no dysphoria is involved, but that often just leads to people lying about having gender dysphoria so that it will be covered.
There are also people with gender dysphoria that don’t seek medical or surgical treatment.

So answer this: If you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans, why in the world should medical insurance or prisons cover anything to do with trans medical care?

God forbid we learn more about something and expand our definition of it or change our approach to it. As much as you’d like to believe it’s only so-called “blue haired activists” leading these changes, it’s also medical professionals across various disciplines, social workers, all kinds of people.

Transmedicalists are a fucking joke. Their viewpoints are stigmatizing, outdated, wrong, hurtful, and dangerous. What they (incorrectly) believe is that gender dysphoria is an essential component to being “truly” trans, and it isn’t. Plenty of trans people don’t experience body/gender dysphoria.

I’ve answered your question about insurance like 4 times. Just because dysphoria isn’t an essential component to being trans doesn’t mean some trans people don’t experience it, they obviously do. And insurance often times won’t cover gender affirming care if there’s no dysphoria, and that just leads to people lying about having gender dysphoria.

Student is a child. It's not up to the schools to determine this. And school officials are not even qualified to determine anything like this.

No, I’m afraid I do not realize how “retarded” that is. Seems like common sense to me: if parents are divorcing, and a judge is deciding custody, granting primary custody to the parent that actually nurtures and supports the child as opposed to one who is unsupportive or even bigoted seems like a reasonable decision.

Xe/xem/xyr, ze/hir/hirs are made up words and not real. To have something as serious as child custody based on this is moronic.

The book is for ages 16+, it is not sitting on shelves in elementary school libraries across the country. You guys constantly try and act like these books are being peddled to small children, and it’s just dishonest bullshit.

These books are not part of any curriculum, no one is forced to read them.

Then why is this 6th grade teacher assigning Gender Queer as reading material?

But more importantly—parent your damn kids. You prattle on about parental rights, yet you not only want to make the decision as to what books are available to your kids, but what books are available to everyone else’s kids too.

That's exactly what a lot of parents are doing. A lot of them do not believe in gender ideology and fighting against it.

People like you are the ones trying to teach it as an established fact when it really isn't.

I said being trans is not a mental disorder, and not all trans people experience gender dysphoria, which is true.

And a lot of people disagree with you. Including trans people. The belief that you don't need gender dysphoria to be trans is just a recent POLITICAL belief.

I already addressed the point about insurance. Many times insurance will not cover it if no dysphoria is involved, but that often just leads to people lying about having gender dysphoria so that it will be covered.

If you don't have gender dysphoria, then insurance should not cover any trans surgeries or medication because it would just be a cosmetic procedure.

Insurance doesn't cover breast implants unless people have some kind of medical condition such as losing breasts to cancer. If a person just wants implants for cosmetic reasons, insurance doesn't cover it.

God forbid we learn more about something and expand our definition of it or change our approach to it. As much as you’d like to believe it’s only so-called “blue haired activists” leading these changes, it’s also medical professionals across various disciplines, social workers, all kinds of people.

Yet medical professionals and government organizations in all the progressive European countries that initially started giving puberty blockers to kids have stopped - the UK, France, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, etc.

Because they found the long term dangers if it were still not known and there was little evidence it did good in the long run. The largest gender clinic in the UK, the Tavistock clinic, had to close due to this.

If it's so beneficial, why did all the countries that started this wave stop doing it?

Transmedicalists are a fucking joke. Their viewpoints are stigmatizing, outdated, wrong, hurtful, and dangerous. What they (incorrectly) believe is that gender dysphoria is an essential component to being “truly” trans, and it isn’t. Plenty of trans people don’t experience body/gender dysphoria.

Nonbinary is the fucking joke. It's a made up political term.

I’ve answered your question about insurance like 4 times. Just because dysphoria isn’t an essential component to being trans doesn’t mean some trans people don’t experience it, they obviously do. And insurance often times won’t cover gender affirming care if there’s no dysphoria, and that just leads to people lying about having gender dysphoria.

So what you're saying is that people can easily just lie and say they're trans and insurance would have to cover stuff because you can't clinically confirm gender dysphoria. That's a huge problem.

Sorry ladies.. the parents should not be letting them play against young men. Just cede the game and let the trans weirdos competing against women get ever single Championship in every sport until it stops. I wouldn't let my daughter leave the blocks if she was a swimmer, until the trans swimmer finished their solo race while all the young ladies waited for him to touch to start the real race.
