Canadian Father Faces Prison For Resisting His Daughter's "Transition"

Insanity.

This is the point at which some people I know say things like "Get off the internet--this isn't how things/people are in the real world..."

   Reminds me of: "This stuff doesn't exist in the real world--it's just on campuses." As if universities weren't part of the world.

   This and other progressive-left insanity has become a force in most or all of our influential institutions. People's lives are being destroyed by it. The country is well on its way to being destroyed. I don't want to be unnecessarily alarmist here...but it's hard for me to understand how people think it's unnecessary.

   Incidentally, notice at least three major leading-edge totalitarian progressive initiatives in this story:

•    The destruction of the nuclear family (in part via the elevation of teachers over parents)
•    The sexualization of children
•    The criminalization of speech and discussion

   Granted, Canada is leftier than we are--but that just means: they're slightly ahead of us on the trajectory of leftification.

   My God, I hope I look back on these posts in ten years with profound embarrassment, and think God, look at what a crazy alarmist I was...

   These kids' lives--and their families' lives--are being destroyed on the basis of a lunatic sexual-political superstition. It's weirdly reminiscent of the Satanic Panic...except this time children actually are being sexually mutilated and otherwise abused. Last time, the powers that be made it up, and punished innocent people for the absolutely, grotesquely fantastical, literally unbelievable fabrications--lies that anyone could see through. This time, the powers that be have made up another insane, grotesque, magical myth--but they're doing the mutilations themselves, and forcing parents and doctors to go along with it--or else.
