LGBTQ Pride Storybooks in Maryland Public Schools - the battle of national interest

Hey I have a good idea! Hear me out! Transgender Santa Claus!!!

In a new book, Santa Claus comes out as a transgender woman in a beautiful dress with elves prancing around!

And Lawrence plays the piano in the background.

So no maturity level is required to begin gender affirmation care?

Am I understanding your position correctly?

No it is a belief imposed upon children.

Comparable to trans ideologues?

Transgender children do not need anyone to tell what their genders are.

Then why the need for all the trans ideology and perssuasion?

Again, it is about tolerance and acceptance, not "persuasion".

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANYONE WANT CHILDREN TO THINK THEY'RE OF THE OPPOSITE GENDERS?

Come on think!

Is class in session now?

It would appear so. First grade class. I truly cannot believe we are having this discussion. I feel like I am in a Twilight Zone.

All those questions can be answered by the child, the parents and the myriad of medical professionals that actually deal with transgendered people. Good try on a first grade level though but it is falling on deaf ears.

Of course they are being questioned all the time. Standard fare is 2 years of counseling before really diagnose with transgenderism or gender dysphoria.

There is no belief unless you're talking about transvestism or transsexualism.

The belief in Santa, for the child, is a personal truth.

Is it not?

Wait, what? Why can't Santa be a transman. I mean really nobody would know the difference.

You, Annee and I know that...that is all.

As long as it takes.

At what point after a child says they feel like a different gender is it okay to begin affirmation care and after what other conditions, if any?

If they still believe in Santa Clause is it okay?

The only "affirmation care" under 12 (puberty) is changing the names allowing then to express their genders.

LOL true. Unless he pull a Mrs. Doubtfire on the children.

I always ask this, but if we're to believe children on what their brains are telling them, then why aren't we giving liposuction to anorexic teen girls?

From external source. Is belief in Batman or Superman a personal truth?

For the same reason we keep telling you that the voices are real.

So you wouldn't wait until they're any older than twelve? If that's what they wanted?

Or amputating those who feel they were born with too many limbs?

You mean where they are forcing puberty blockers/HRT on them when they don't want it?

Sure I agree that it's wrong.

Cool we agree on that.

But you disagree we should wait until they are out of adolescence and have more of a grasp on who they are and where they want to go in life?

Treat them as you would with an anorectic patient.

Let them be who they are. That's the point.
