This is so unfair.

I hope those fascist CPS employees eventually realize the fucking harm they are doing, get so filled with guilt, that they never have a peaceful nights sleep again. But, they probably enjoy harming trans kids.

Honestly some of them probably genuinely do enjoy harming kids. Similar problem to the police force with that. For a certain kind of person, justifications for harming people while getting to look like a hero is the perk.

Quote from, Idaho state rep Jullianne Young:

“I see this conversation as an extension of the pro-life argument. … We are not talking about the life of the child, but we are talking about the potential to give life to another generation.”

Exactly what I was talking about. It’s the worship of the ability for a sperm cell to fertilize an egg. Not a miracle, happens millions of times a day, every day, infinitely.

WTAF? Is this a “we must sacrifice these children to ensure future fertility?” What the hell kind of “The Lottery” world are we living in??

Idaho is a hot bed of conservatives and white supremacists, but this issue isn’t limited to rural mouth breathers. My own West Coast multicultural liberal school district absolutely lost its shit when a support staff member began transitioning. People can be blue as can be and still harbor a surprising amount of anti trans rhetoric.

Prior to the Obergefell decision one of the arguments I regularly heard against same-sex marriage was that, if it were allowed, people would stop having children. It was always curious that the same individuals who’d argue that “LGBT people are only of the population” believed that acceptance would mean the extinction of the human race.

It’s an argument that never had any credibility, obviously, and yet it’s never gone away, because it’s an extension of the more nebulous but equally ridiculous belief that LGBT people are a threat to children.

It’s good of her to admit that pro-life never cared about the lives or survival of children though.

Lots of trans people take advantage of resources to preserve the ability to procreate already. Some did 40 years ago that I know of personally.

And many, myself included, have children before transitioning.
