There is no such thing as a "trans child." BUT for the sake of argument, let's say that there was.
There would be two different kinds of a "trans child:" 1. A child with gender dysphoria 2. A child caught by a social contagion
🧵1/19
Gender dysphoria was previously known as "gender identity disorder" (GID) in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, fourth edition (DSM-IV). Children with a persistent cross-gender identification and a persistent discomfort with their sex were diagnosed with GID. 2/19
During the 60s and 70s, clinicians used the term "true transexual" to describe those who suffered from gender distress. To qualify as a true transexual, you must have consistent cross-gender ID, no arousal from cross-dressing, and no interest in heterosexual copulation 3/19
Gender dysphoria is an actual mental disorder that children experience that causes intense discomfort with primary and secondary sex characteristics and can be treated with talk therapy and chemical and/or surgical intervention once they reach adulthood. 4/19
In years past, in order to receive a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, children had to meet all the criteria below for 6 months. Clinicians knew the seriousness of the condition and made sure a child was not sent down an unnecessary path that may lead to surgical intervention. 5/19
Which brings us to the other hypothetical "trans child." The one who has fallen prey to a social contagion. The one who has been indoctrinated into the cult of gender ideology. 6/19
The gender cult tells a child that they can be born in the wrong body. That their gender can be fluid and one can slide in and out of different genders dozens, if not hundreds, of times a day. 7/19
The gender cult also tells a child that gender is nonbinary and that one can identify as not exclusively male or female. Or that they may identify as NEITHER. 8/19
And let's not forget about omnigender, bigender, gendervoid, and genderqueer. And there are COUNTLESS other nonsense genders in addition to the ones detailed in this thread. These are the labels the queer gender cult is telling children they can "identify" as. 9/19
Never mind the fact that sex/gender is binary. Never mind that sex is not "assigned at birth." It is observed. Never mind the fact that one can't "choose" their gender. These are pseudoscientific concepts created and pushed by religious zealots masquerading as "experts." 10/19
Unlike the months - if not years - long process of actual doctors observing a child's gender confusion before offering a diagnosig of gender dysphoria, many contemporary "doctors" poison children with chemicals after a handful of appointments. These people are lunatics.
11/19
The gender ideology driven mind virus that has indoctrinated millions of impressionable children is designed to confuse them. It's designed to replace the world of objective truth with subjective madness.
It is designed to destabilize their minds. It's a cult. 12/19
The very concept of someone being able to swap genders at a moment's notice is a slap in the face of every person - child or adult - who suffers from actual gender dysphoria. 13/19
Trans ideologues will tell you that it is society's fault that trans people feel ostracized and suffer from so much mental anguish. They demand that we conform to their interpretation of reality so trans people can finally feel whole. 14/19
And you know what? They're actually correct. But not in the way they think they are. Society IS at fault for the suffering of youth who believe themselves to be trans. Society has decided to affirm delusions instead of treating the root causes of their issues. 15/19
Society tells children that they will UNALIVE THEMSELVES if they don't receive "gender affirming care" and has embraced a false reality that is actually driving these poor kids insane.
Society has created rules for children that are not based in reality. 16/19
The most foundational thing that makes us human is the fact that we are either man or woman. To deny that is to deny one's own humanity. You can see trans activists losing their humanity in real time as they embrace delusion more and more. They grow more violent every day. 17/19
We have seen where this goes. When large groups of people deny parts of their humanity. When society listens to the voices of irrational children and abdicates reason. We know how this will end if it isn't stopped. 18/19
We can't indulge the fantasies of delusional children driven mad by society. We must save them from themselves.
Gender ideology is anti-truth, anti-reality, anti-human, and yes...anti-trans.
There are THOUSANDS of United States, government- funded and run, public schools that will lie to parents about their children if it involves issues surrounding their "gender."
These schools believe they know better than the parent of a child does. 🧵 1/12
The Greater Johnstown school district in Pennsylvania is one of these school districts. They purport to uphold tradition and take great pride in their education of children.
Gays Against Groomers has discovered that the district has taken on grooming as a new tradition. 2/12
The Greater Johnstown district claims to uphold community academics and life-long learning. Nowhere in their core values does it mention indulging in the delusions of confused children or hiding signs of mental illness from their parents 3/12
Recently, there have been multiple hit-pieces about our organization that are full of lies. This information has now been used to create a Wikipedia page about our organization, which is quite literally entirely false, and we would like en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gays_Agai…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
1/ Our organization is nonpartisan and contains members from all political backgrounds. This includes Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, etc.
None of us are far-right. Just because we disagree with the queer activist narrative does not make us “far-right.”
2/ We often attend school board meetings and speak about how we feel about the current curriculum. Gay people voicing their opinions about educational material being pushed in our name is only considered “harassment” if you disagree.
@tmsilverman It’s hard to blame you or anyone that feels this way. The truth is, we don’t recognize what has become of our community. Back when people were warning of the slippery slope, we thought it was nonsense, because all we wanted were the same rights as every other American (con’t)
@tmsilverman We exist to show you and others who feel the same that the majority of gay people strongly oppose what is being done in our name. Our community has been hijacked, and the biggest pushers of this agenda aren’t even part of it — media, big tech, pharma, education, etc. (con’t)
@tmsilverman It is our mess to clean up, and we’re here to do exactly that. The fight for equal rights under the law was a just one. And we won. The fight should have ended there. We are reversing this slope, slowly but surely.
We will not allow this abuse to continue in our name.
Tell us you support pedophilia without telling us you support pedophilia.
We exposed a network that provides a place for groomers and predators to speak to young, vulnerable, confused CHILDREN about sexuality.
If you read the article and are okay with that, you’re the problem.
And in absoltely no way did @thegaywhostrayd call for more mass shootings at LGBTQ bars, you LUNATIC. It was a dire warning to our community and a plea for people to stop going after children in our name. The backlash against us all is growing and will continue to until they do.
UPDATE ON FLORIDA: The fight is NOT over yet. There is more work to be done before the ban is fully passed and it’s extremely important we all follow through on this. (1/4)
The full board is meeting NEXT FRIDAY, where they will vote to propose the final rule which will start a 28 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
If you are near Orlando, it’s imperative to show up to support the vote to BAN the sterilization and mutilation of children. (2/4)
Once the 28 day comment period begins, we all need to SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENT as to why these practices must be banned before it goes to a final full medical board vote on December 2nd. (3/4)
