re: Indiana parents warn nation after child is removed from home for improper pronoun usage

Never, never, NEVER vote for ANYONE with a “D” beside their name.

NEVER.

I wouldn’t say it created the nazi movement but it could be argued that the chaos of the collapse of Weimar cleared a path allowing the nazi rise to power. Poor economics, crushing national debt, hyperinflation, along with all the cultural stuff i.e. trans, pedo, etc. were all used as propaganda for nazis. Not saying we’re there yet or that history is repeating itself but sometimes it seems like it’s starting to rhyme. While I don’t understand any of this woke shite these days and I would love for things to change I’m afraid the more we ignore or accept these things the pendulum gains momentum and swings further until it doesn’t and then it swings back with a vengeance and what that could clear a path for is concerning.

Even that figure is greatly exaggerated. There is no way one in a hundred people are trans.

That 1% figure very well may be inflated, but then you have to add in all of the woke people that are willing to line up in the streets in support of them, and the ones that are willing to promote to positions of power even if they aren't qualified, or plaster them all over beer cans and TV ads. That's where the numbers are seemingly larger, and where it influences kids who are going through typical growing pains or actual mental illness to feel welcomed by these people.

Withholding ice cream and the latest toy for not eating their broccoli or doing their chores can also be distressing to a child. We gonna pull kids from homes for that too?

Ok so yes, I will certainly agree with you on that point. Because I think you are correct on the pendulum swinging in our society. I would argue Trump getting elected is proof of that. People were so sick of the Democrats talking down to them that a man with no political background got elected President. Jan 6th could be another example.

Seems the child was removed due to abuse/eating disorder more than the trans thing, but that would be harder to claim victimhood over.

pertinent question was the eating disorder, if true and accurate, a byproduct of the trans claim/process?

And to be clear, the state is claiming they removed the child due to the parents inability to "effectively treat the eating disorder". So if that is indeed the wording, which I'm not sure it is:

- the state isn't claiming the parents caused the disorder, so no undue harm, negligence, or battery
- the state isn't claiming they did not attempt to have it treated, so no negligence

Hence, the parents should claim those pushing the trans lifestyle on juveniles caused the harm (the disorder) AND the harm was so extensive it could not be treated by experts.

Also curious if doctors, of various types, refused treatment because it went against "gender affirming care" removing any chance of effectively treating the disorder.

ETA: to me, it is also telling they did not cite the specific disorder in the sate's press release. Only the generic "eating disorder".

Yeah, I’d be going to jail before child services came to my home to take my kid because I refused to call him a girl. And I’ll bet the school was complicit in advancing this.

There are few things in life I am willing to go down shooting for, but ripping my kids away from me is one of them.

I get the sentiment, I truly do. But it's such a lose-lose situation.

That just makes things worse and takes all hope away for your child. Doing that is not what is best for your child unfortunately.

It's not like you'd start shooting and they'd back down and you'd get to keep your kid. You'd either be dead or in jail and now your child has no one to advocate for them and are truly fricked without you there to fight for them.

How is this not a tipping point?

People keep saying what you said, but nothing ever happens.

Exactly

I know people just think I'm being a jerk when I say this, but it's 100% true...just complaining about it on social media and talking about a tipping point does not make it a tipping point.

If you truly think we're close to that tipping point, what are you specifically doing or going to do to either ensure we hit that point or once we hit that point? If your answer is nothing different and you'll continue to just talk about tit on a message board, then we're not close to that tipping point.

Up to now, there's just a lot of angry people talking about it, but from a scale of the masses, no one is angry enough to really do something about it.
