And now it seems parental rights are more important than the welfare of a child. The unvaccinated or trans kid may die before they reach adulthood, but hey, at least nobody had the audacity to force you to keep them alive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember years and years ago, when the government would need to force certain “faith cult” parents to provide life-saving chemotherapy for their children.
They (the parents) would go on about it “being God‘s will” whether their child would live or die. They claimed parental rights “not to medicate” their children.
That same superstitious mindset is now using the power of government to stop medical care for other people’s children.
The general population needs to understand clearly: If government can take away trans people’s rights, and reproductive rights, it can, and likely will take away everybody’s rights.
A strong mother and father are parents who are willing to grow with their trans child and accept them as their authentic self. To love them unconditionally and to give them the medical care they need and deserve. A strong mother and father put aside their own preconceptions and dreams of that child’s future and form new dreams and expectations with their trans child. A strong mother and father put aside their fears and trust their child.
You know every night before bed, I double check my doors to make sure they’re locked. I don’t want any of that gender ideology getting me in the night. I like good old fashioned gender ideology where women are inferior and god is punishing them for being harlots. You know the good stuff. I had a close call the other day. I was at the mall and walking by the Gap when I saw a female mannequin wearing pants. I had a chat with the manager and let them know sex females should only be wearing dresses. Really close call
I mean it’s the perfect time. We can wallow in the hopelessness of the situation or we can continue to live and thrive. They want us to be upset, I refuse to let them get me down.
So many trans children will die. The only thing that allowed me to live through my childhood was denial; trans kids now know who they are, and that care is denied them. I would never have survived that.
Yes, and I hate to say it, but inter family abuse is also rampant...and kept very quiet. And when mothers report, 5% get justice and 50% lose FULL CUSTODY to the abusive parent. I am an active advocate on this, and the numbers are real.
It is so disgusting that the President isn't using National Child Abuse day to talk about THIS instead of actually fucking promoting child abuse of trans kids.
Do some digging on the idea of Reunification Therapy/Camps and a group called Fathers For Justice and you'll start to see the common thread between all of this. But go deep on it, as the veneer hides quite a bit of the reality--and who it's tied to (bet you can guess). And THIS? Just another rung on the ladder of legalized abuse against kids and protective parents.
JD and Elon are anti-charisma but they have taught 35%+ of the country not to believe their own eyes and ears.
I think we need to recognize that the capital class is fine with fascism so long as it doesn’t interfere with their ability to make $. Part of that recognition is understanding it’s not just MAGA, it’s the entire GOP.
I have this same question. I feel like running is going to remove the support network that is keeping my child going. How do we know when the risk is really too great to stay in our community?
Today, it's taking trans kids away from their supportive parents. Tomorrow, it's arresting openly trans people for being themselves in any space where a child might see them, for "exposing them to gender ideology".
How will they prevent this "attack" on children? Forcing us to wear signage indicating trans status so children won't be deceived? Rounding us up in camps to keep us away from young eyes? Subjecting us to the death penalty after making our existence in front of children a "sexual offense"? How fucking blind can people be?
They want us dead. By making us illegal to exist or to be able to transition, they are trying to get us to kill ourselves. They are only a step or two away from rolling back panic defense laws, from putting bounties on us, or making a tracking system. A lot of effort for such a tiny group of US citizens.
You are exactly right. Can you imagine the numbers of homeless people we could get off the streets and how many we could lift out of poverty with all that money?
tRump and fElon MuskRat are the lowest and most disgusting form of “life” on our planet.
“no substitute for a strong mother and father” -- is that why he left two wives and ignores half his children?
So true
I hate him with every single iota of me
Me too. 51 years and counting. 🤬🤬🤬
62 years and counting. Fortunately I was able to spend the first 45 of those years having no idea who the F he was. Good times!
Same
When I was a child growing up, and when I raised my children “not providing” medical care for children was considered child abuse.

Parent’s rights unless you are the parent of a trans kid who is one of the few that needs gender affirming care.
No problem if your cis kid’s want gender affirming care in the form of a nose job, breast enhancement or reduction, hair transplants, etc.
This is genocide against trans youth.
This is the deranged and insane and I feel awful for my trans brothers and sisters right now on this country. It’s just truly despicable.
He’s starting to shift the attack window more towards other parts of the Alphabet Mafia…. “no substitute for a mother and father…” 🤒

🤪 perhaps not the time, eh?

Agree. Some of my only smiles/laughs I get are here in these substack comments. Its refreshing and calming after reading atrocity after atrocity.
We will protect these kids with everything we have.
So many trans children will die. The only thing that allowed me to live through my childhood was denial; trans kids now know who they are, and that care is denied them. I would never have survived that.
No mention of all the child molestation from Catholic priests and Christian preachers in this announcement by these jackboot racist shit-heels.

Every damn day I read about “religious” people butt fucking infants, toddlers, and others. THEY NEED PROTECTION.
When his arteries fully clog, there will be a worldwide celebration like at the end of Return of the Jedi.
Unfortunately it’s the entire GOP and they aren’t going anywhere unless the people rise up against fascism
Yes but he’s the one with the cult and when he’s done the GOP’s power will weaken significantly
I hope so!
It’s true they don’t have a replacement… yet.
JD and Elon are anti-charisma but they have taught 35%+ of the country not to believe their own eyes and ears.

My 2 cents.
I loathe that orange fuck…
They’re going to have to put up a fence to keep people from dancing on his grave when the McDonald’s finally gives him a heart attack.
What should parents of trans kids be doing to protect their families?
Have an excape plan, and stand up for them so they don't have to feel the burden. But also listen to them and what they're going through.
Tell them every day that you love them for being exactly who they are.
And what Zoey said, too.
Fortunately my trans kid is a married adult. But I’m sure same sex marriage will be on the chopping block at some point.
I have this same question. I feel like running is going to remove the support network that is keeping my child going. How do we know when the risk is really too great to stay in our community?
Yet another attempt to distract and obfuscate from the way he is systematically dismantling our country.

Just a distraction from the Turd and his cronies destroying the economy.
Exactly my first thought.
They want us dead. By making us illegal to exist or to be able to transition, they are trying to get us to kill ourselves. They are only a step or two away from rolling back panic defense laws, from putting bounties on us, or making a tracking system. A lot of effort for such a tiny group of US citizens.
