My Transparent Thoughts:
What baffles me is that we live in a world where many children are worried about where their next meal will come from, and issues like these are where our politicians and corporations want to expend their energy/resources.
I think there is something to be said for the affect all this has socially and culturally. Taking a step back and looking at the big picture, it just pisses me off that this is even a thing any of us have to think about in the first place. Both sides of the argument view it as individual liberties being stripped, or not afforded… I view it as an inconvenient distraction from caring about real world problems.
Just a couple years back, it was essentially accepted fact that people that suffered from gender dysphoria had severe mental issues. This was backed by the high suicide rate that occurred in that small community. Campaigning has pushed against that narrative in an attempt to bring loud, but small fringe groups into the mainstream. I am not so sure that validating fallacies concerning the fluidity of gender are making things better long-term.
I truly believe in a live & let live philosophy. The problem is that this politicized issue influences public education, freedom of speech (at the rate we are going), and the traditional family unit. This country is in for a rude awakening, and I think we are past the event horizon on the whole ordeal.
Live and let live just doesn’t work.
It would if that was the objective. This is the slippery slope Kaos warned you about when it was “just let them get married.”
I said then it wouldn’t end there. It would lead to attempts to normalize all manner of deviant behavior. I said then it was a short hop to a demand to accept pedophila. And here we are.
This isn’t “let me be” territory. Make no mistake, we are embroiled in a culture war. Children are the targets. Preach to them that abnormal behavior is perfectly ok. Remove parental control and guidance from their realm.
How many times recently has the idiot in chief and his minions told you they aren’t “your children” they are OUR children?
If you just sit back and say drag queens in vulgar outfits reading to children, parades through elementary schools, counselors pushing sex changes on children, parents allowing kids to be mutilated in search of Facebook likes, men masquerading as women swinging their junk around in women’s locker rooms, etc…. If you say that is none of your business? Then it’s over.
I struggle with my faith sometimes. We all do. But in my heart I feel that as a Christian, one of our most sacred missions is to protect those who who cannot protect themselves. Children.
None of my business? Live and let live? You do you? That works for adults. But not for adults promoting that ideology to children.
We can’t be lazziez-faire about that.
