"Red State Attacks On Transgender Residents Are Getting More Unhinged"

Er...like outlawing the sexual mutilation of children and preventing boys from playing on girls' sports teams... Totally unhinged!

   This report claims that Idaho is trying to make it illegal to take your kids to another state in order to have them mutilated in accordance with transgender mythology...but I doubt that's the straight dope on that situation. 

   Their defense seems to be But we generally don't medically mutilate children! We usually wait until they're teenagers! Unbelievable. 

   I especially like the argument that Conservatives can't openly act on their racism and hatred of homosexuals...so they're doing this instead. Of course one might alternatively have said: Conservatives aren't racist and have accepted homosexuality. So this is probably a genuine concern for children...

   Transgender ideology is utterly false and mostly insane. It's bad enough that the left has become religiously committed to it--just one of many unmoored parts of their new worldview. But medically mutilating kids in accordance with it--utterly mad. 

   And, as usual, they lead with their carefully-crafted pomo-prog Newspeak: e.g. "gender-affirming" "care" (or treatment). Of course if they used accurate terminology, it would hurt their case. But "gender-affirming" so bends over backwards to be politically correct it's laughable. Not to mention that medical "gender" "affirmation" makes no sense at all on their view of "gender"... Well, except, of course, their view is incoherent, so...

   Here's just one passage:

What’s overlooked in the rush to criminalize gender-affirming treatments that have become accepted in the medical and counseling communities is the vulnerability of children trying to make their way through the gender labyrinth.

Ah, the "gender labyrinth"...which is a fiction of progressives' creation. Children are vulnerable--because the left is brainwashing and mutilating them. They're trying to navigate a pseudoscientific, literary creation built on outright falsehoods and specifically intended to distort reality. One misstep by immature people who barely understand even basic (actual) facts, and they can end up on a slippery slope that ends with the destruction of their lives...
