Have watched this happen.

One of the reasons this became so out of control is that every state in the union has a HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION that is peopled with folks who have an agenda to promote marginalized lifestyles.

They have unlimited legal assistance and the full force of the government behind them.

Anyone who disagrees or questions them loses their homes and livelihoods, ala cake maker, florists, and others.

Until conservatives disband these inappropriately named human rights commissions, they will not be able to change much in the culture.

If she thinks that she is “transgender” then it is positive proof that she is NOT mature enough. Case closed!

Teens influenced by peer pressure and succumbing to the latest craze? Nah, never happens. Unheard of.

Parents succumbed in the 60s and later to and “tolerant” of all views and teach their kids acceptance and tolerance of all things. The libs took ad advantage of that and began pushing the boundaries with more and more deviant behavior that they insisted we tolerate.

So here we are. Now what?

This occurs with a myriad of psychological syndromes, including suicide. It operates in the same way that stereotype threat does... think about how many people will read a horoscope and think this applies to me. Merely hearing about something repeatedly can create a self-diagnosed pathology in “certain” individuals.

Many teens crave attention. Always have. The punks, goth, artsy, etc. kids of the past now gravitate to thus trans nonsense. The problem is, they are now embraced by irresponsible adults! I have noticed so many of these weirdos lately in our small district. Mostly it is girls that pose as boys. Not sure why, hardly any boys.

Upstream of that is conservatives wresting control of education. We are reaping the 100 year old crop of extreme liberalism that rejects all common sense, celebrates deviancy and perversion, and makes them mainstream.

“Hardly any boys.”

Probably because chopping parts off is rather irreversible.

I remember hearing about how powerful the religious right was for decades. So where the heck are these people now? Seems like they don’t really have any power at all.

Back in the late 70s and 80s, religious Christians were warning that the gay rights movement was just a ploy to try to pervert our children. They’ve been proven to be a hundred percent right. Once gay rights gained a certain level support, they did a bait and switch and changed it to LGBT. Legalizing same-sex marriage was all about making it legal for the whole entire population, not for the benefit of gays. And now they are full steam ahead going after our kids. Here in New York City, there are billboards everywhere promoting LGBT youth support groups.

What happened to all the Pat Robertsons and Billy Grahams? It seems like there’s absolutely no religious leadership anymore to gin up outrage over this, or to even point out how right the predictions from 40 years ago War.

I agree. Unless current education establishment is totally dismantled, nothing really changes.

The Human Rights Commissions are one small doable part of the fight.

The people who demonstrate in the street while wearing masks, are not the Good Guys.
The people who want to “discuss” important issues by demanding that the other side be silenced, are not the Good Guys.

The best way to describe it is that it is a cult. The similarities are not surprising and the tactics identical to cults of the 80s like the Unification church.

If enough of us openly and enthusiastically deny this crap it may recede a bit. If we don’t fight it, there will be more of it, and it will get more deviant.

You need a subscription to read the article. Link is useless.

The truth here is obvious, but doesn’t matter. Truth has no place where PC rules. The kid who shows the slightest deviance from the norm is immediately rushed off to the phony psychiatrists who will rush him/her to the dique chopper/dique shaper.

To: I want the USA back

Here is the URL to an article by the former Dean of Harvard Medical School talking about Prof. Littman’s article being virtually censored by Brown University because it is not PC.
