So, if they put you in jail for not using the pronouns that your child insists on, are you still required to pay for the sex “change” operation?
This is the end of parental authority. The State has removed it, but left parents with the financial responsibility.
You will have no family, you will have no friendships, yoou will never hold power or have control over your destiny, you will own nothing, and you will be happy.

Although I agree with the overall point of the article, I disagree with this two-part statement. First, not all people should be treated with respect. Respect must be earned. Second, although the author uses the qualifier "unjust" discrimination, in fact discrimination is a survival mechanism all species, including humans, do naturally and intuitively. I am proud to discriminate against those who would harm me and my loved ones.
If I walk into my doctor’s office today and say, “Hi, I’m Margaret Thatcher,” my physician will say I am delusional and give me an anti-psychotic. Yet, if instead, I walked in and said, “I’m a man,” he would say, “Congratulations, you’re transgender.”If I were to say, “Doc, I am suicidal because I’m an amputee trapped in a normal body, please cut off my leg,” I will be diagnosed with body identity integrity disorder. But if I walk into that doctor’s office and say, “I am a man, sign me up for a double mastectomy,” my physician will. See, if you want to cut off a leg or an arm you’re mentally ill, but if you want to cut off healthy breasts or a penis, you’re transgender.
No one is born transgender. If gender identity were hardwired in the brain before birth, identical twins would have the same gender identity 100 percent of the time. But they don’t.

For your end times ping list
There’s a bible verse about how God will allow a strong spirit of delusion to be visited upon the nation’s.
The states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to address sex-related discrimination outside the scope of voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
State government “leaders” who turn their heads to federal government overreach of its constitutionally limited powers need to be primaried in 2022.
ok- so in an “Equality Act” Everyone is equal- so that means that my religious beliefs are just as ‘equal’ as someone’s irreligious beliefs- so i guess that leaves us at a standstill. So if a child says they wanna be another gender- the parent can say “Nope” because their opinions are just as valid as their child’s
IF however, the courts step in and grant the child the ‘right’ to transgender against their parent’s wishes, then that puts the child’s ‘rights’ (and the agenda driven desires of the left) above that of the parent, and it’s no longer equal footing for everyone-
Either Equality means equality- or it doesn’t-
It almost seems like they've been lying to us.
The be a “bigot” who opposes transgenderism.
Better to be actively hated by the Woke and the Left than to be even tolerated by them.

Hey, get over it! The Democrats are only doing their jobs. And that job is to destroy lives. After it is done, what are you gonna do? Cry?
Soon, North Korea and definitely China will have more respect for humanity & morality than the United States.

There is no equality. There will never be equality
Unequal’s seek to be equal when that can never happen. The unequal’s lack the will to work or the intelligence to learn or both.
Inequality is not racial or cultural but biological.
Many that are racially or culturally unequal achieve a modicum of equality by education, work and perseverance.
I actually witnessed a situation with a neighbor whose daughter was gender-confused, possibly because she resembled her father totally but not her mother at all.
She only wanted to wear boy’s clothes and hair to elementary school. But this was 20 years ago. The entire extended family, parents and school worked with her patiently about what clothes and hairstyles and sports accommodations would be acceptable compromises.
Then puberty hit. BAM! She sprouted hips and boobs. Boys paid attention. She asked her mom to buy her dresses and fingernail polish. She simply grew out of it. Last I heard, she was engaged to the guy she has been living with for a couple of years.
Had this same girl been born recently, she would have been hacked and sterilized by now, taken from her parents and forced into foster care, and would be a drug-using mess for the rest of her life.
