“I’m a moderate who previously thought the book bans were outrageous,” my friend told me, referring to the attempt by some local governments to restrict sex-themed kids’ books in public libraries and schools. “I support the gays and the queens but not the idea of teaching a child they should be depressed over the gender they were born into.”

It’s worth repeating that she had no idea her child had chosen this book until after she and her family had gotten home. She had assumed that when her daughter came back to her with a vibrant picture book plucked from the kids’ section that it was harmless literature for children. But as we’ve seen, the kids are no longer off limits. The militant transgender activist lobby is out to get them and this is how they’re doing it.

    As usual simply reading the text makes it clear this is nothing but exaggeration and fear mongering. The book says restricting people to strict gender roles causes depression. Absolutely nothing suggests children should be depressed about their gender.

        That’s just about as backwards an idea as I could imagine. They experience depression because of how they’re treated by people (probably especially people like you, judging by the username).

            False Claim rejected:

            You can’t just invent an entire story for this person that you know nothing about as some kind of “evidence”.

            Social norms are encouraged to keep the status quo and control people. The biggest danger they face is from ignorant assholes who think they don’t deserve to live just because they want to live their life a different way.
