That sounds very much the opposite of what should be happening.

Segregation is the only way, just ask kert!

You should find yourself a reddit sub, maybe you'll feel safer in an eco-chamber you agree with. Zechs just sheds light on the real very issue of kids being manipulated and indoctrinated by the public education system, this was never a problem 20 years ago. It's not like being non-binary was even a thing, it just didn't exist. The left have lost their fucking minds and are inflicting this cancer into the education system. Parents can only do so much.

Reddit is for porn and product reviews only. Everyone knows that. My comment was directed towards the extreme sides some of the replies in here have with zechs being one of them for sure. I think regardless what "side" you're on, summarzing what he seemed to do through ES's original post is a bit outlandish.

I also 100% disgree with you that it didn't exist or wasn't a problem 20 years ago. People strugging with who they are has always existed, it was just a lot more represed or hidden out of fear of retribution. How many kids do you know got beat up for "being gay" because they might have done something that someone preceived as soft or feminin like wearing tight pants or sucking at sports? I got called gay all through highschool because where I grew up that was the worst thing you could be, one day a group of older kids called me a homo and it stuck for the next 6 years. I don't even think I knew what gay was the first time I got called it much less had the capacity to act in any sort of sexual way, straight or otherwise. Throughout the next few years I had my vehicles vandalized and was jumped despite the gayest thing I ever did in my teens was enjoy a little chocolate milk with my burger instead of pop or listen to Nickleback. I am sure it didn't help being a red head, but if a kid who was actually gay/trans/non binary (which I admit I don't actually know what that is) sees a straight kid going through that hell because another group of kids preceived them as something different then what they are then they will never feel comfortable in ther own skin. So maybe yeah, it could be a function of feeling safe identifying with a group of people even if deep down they aren't "that" but thats something that the parents need to help them navigate understanding that it could come out either way.

I will agree with you that its gone to far to the extreme on the other side though, but society currently is unfortunately filled with extremes. The government's approach to Covid is a huge one: you were either a brainless sheep or an inbred redneck, no inbetween. I think the general approach here should be not to get too wound up over things that don't effect you (like pride month), or obvious jokes. If its a topic that does effect you (such as OP) then no one knows better how to deal with your family than you.

But maybe I'm just a big gay liberal cuck

This is all just a classic nature vs nurture debate. When it comes to trans vagina'd people in their teens - the evidence is that the vast majority of the time it is a nurture thing. Puberty is tough on girls psychologically and identifying as trans is an "out" that is right in front of them. And often comes with the reward/incentive of being seen as "brave". Trading universal acceptance for a limited but very dedicated group of allies would seem like a reasonable compromise I assume. Unfortunately, none of this seems to solve the problem of the psychological difficulty of puberty in girls, and eventually seems to compound the problem.

Now back to the thread... Where the funny trans jokes at?

[JfuckinC]

I feel like you guys are confusing non-binary with trans being the same, as far as i know it's not the same thing? One identifying as neither sex, the other identify as the opposing sex you were birthed as? But i was wrong about equity so i'm treading lightly lol

The "identifying as" part is the operative concept here, not the blank that is filled in subsequent to that statement.

Jutes, you didn't have any tomboys or young men that seemed to roll with the girls more than the boys at school? Interesting..

I'm sure there were a few, I don't remember those details because they weren't given a label or treated any different. It's out of control now with kids outing as non-binary, still don't know what the hell that means, and using they thems.

Maybe for you, but Zechs seems to be going off on a pretty random tangent and make assumptions that being binary is directly leading to trans.. I don't follow the political threads, is he a crazy person?

Honestlty, i don't disagree, some of the shit is wildly out of control (from both sides..) like others have said. But saying it didn't exist is ignorant, people just didn't know what to call it, or didn't want to accept it.

Haha, what?

The 90s/00s were a rough fucking time to be anything but conforming to the current fad. You know school shootings started in the 90s, right?

The only issue I have with this statement is it actually DOES affect us all.
Right down to fiscal or monetary policy of the government.

Example: Why is the government spending $1.5 million in taxpayer funds for "security" for the pride parade?
Did they provide the same security for the truck convoy protesters? Other major protests?
Different ideologies, but why is one more valid than the other?

At the end of the day both groups have the same message, "we want to be heard, we want to be recognized, we want our freedoms to be granted".

Why do we even celebrate pride for an entire month?
Do we celebrate Jewish history month?
Indigenous history month?
Women's rights history month?

Why is pride specifically so important?

Morgan Freeman said it best when asked directly about "Black history month".
He essentially said "I don't want black history month, its division... My history is American History".

As I said earlier in this thread, my gay friends don't even celebrate or WANT Pride month OR the Pride parade, they flat out say its embarrassing and sends the wrong perception and message.

A girl coming out as "non-binary" is the first step in transgenderism.

If she was gay, she'd say she was a lesbian. If she wanted social clout, she'd say she is bi.

I'm not the crazy one for not wanting my kid to indulge in faggotry. You guys are off your god damn rockers, but then again, almost half of Beyond voted NDerP so it is of no surprise.
