Conservative legislators made substantial progress this month in their attempts to curtail the rights of transgender children and their families. Yes, call them the "Stop Mutilating and Sterilizing mentally ill Minor Children" Acts. This whole tranny nonsense is out of control insanity. They also need to pass a "Swinging Dicks and Balls out of the Girls Locker Room" Act, along with the "He/She Trannys banned from Destroying Women's Sports" Act. If you Dem liberals think supporting aggressive tranny activists and shoving kinky sex into grade schools is a winning issue, then by all means, keep it up. That ex-marketing genius at Bud Light can show you the way. And BTW, it's not just Dems who are culturally stupid. If the GOP continues to pick banning abortion as an election hill to die on, they might just manage to accomplish losing over that, big time..

It's about protecting kids....It appears you hate children and would prefer they be sliced and diced in the womb, but surviving that, turn them into mental cases that can't tell if they're boys or girls so send in the groomers. "If we can't perform sex acts in front of kids then we're gonna take our parade and go home(but we're not groomers!). +++ Florida LGBT Group Cancels Pride Parade After City Says No Kids Allowed by Tyler Durden Sunday, Apr 23, 2023 - 01:00 PM Well...this is awkward. The city of Port St. Lucie in southeastern Florida was scheduled to host a gay pride parade organized by the "Pride Alliance of the Treasure Coast," but there was just one caveat - No kids allowed. In accordance with legislation ready to be signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis the city allowed the pride parade to take place but required all attendees to be 21 or older due the sexualized nature of the performances common during such events. The Florida House has sent a bill to Desantis that is set to ban children from attending adult-oriented performances, including drag shows. The bill defines “adult live performances” as “any show, exhibition, or other presentation that is performed in front of a live audience and in whole or in part, depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, specific sexual activities, … lewd conduct, or the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts.” These rules would make the majority of pride parades a no-go for children given they violate nearly every item on the list. Strangely, rather than following the new requirements and ensuring that only adults over 21 attend the event, the Treasure Coast organization took to Facebook to announce that they would cancel the parade entirely. In other words, if they can't have the kids, there's no point to the parade. Their statement notes: “The city has decided that with the likelihood that the Governor will sign the latest bill into effect this evening, that we will need to be on the side of caution and has required us to make this necessary change. We are obviously upset and dishearten[ed] that it has come to this. We also regret to announce that we will have to cancel our plans to bring back our beloved parade.” The group suggests it will return with a more "family friendly" event in the future, though the question remains - Why cancel the previous event? Why not simply check IDs? Dozens of states across the country are moving to ban children from sexual displays as drag shows for kids become the primary activist strategy for the political left. Trans activists claim the shows are about acclimating children to "acceptance and tolerance", while opponents argue that the shows are about indoctrination with perhaps even darker underlying intentions. It's unfortunate that state governments need to legally intervene to protect children from these kinds of graphic demonstrations. Generally, one would expect parents to have the good sense to keep their kids away. But the existing ideological dynamic has made the sexaulization of children into a political tool, and so states like Florida are left with little choice.

That was one of the dumbest pro-trans op-eds I have ever read. An excerpt: Trans people are underrepresented in sports titles, and many politicians proposing these laws can’t even name a single transgender athlete in their states. At most, they’ll find a single successful trans athlete such as Lia Thomas, *working on the presumption that sports are only fair if trans people never win.* This is a complete lie. No surprise CNN would publish such nonsense. No one said that trans people should never win, just that biological males should never compete in women's sports. South Park illustrated the insanity in the best possible way: Tenchusatsu
