John Daniel Davidson: "The Transgender Movement Isn't Just Targeting Kids, It's Targeting Families"

I think this is a great point.

   (Trans)gender ideology is just one component of the postpostmodern progressive / critical social justice movement. One component of that movement--the flagship component right now--is cultural Marxism. That component has long sought to destroy / "deconstruct" / "dismantle" / re-engineer the nuclear family. (T)GI tells schools they should/must not only indoctrinate children and encourage them to adopt new "genders" and sexual orientations, but that they should/must do this behind the backs of parents and over their objections. As with the rest of the movement, they have a defense mechanism built right in; as per usual, it is built on the demonization of any with the temerity to object: parents who balk are accused of endangering the lives of their children. Comply or your child might die--or the state might take him/her/xir away from you. This is a way to shift oversight of children's lives away from the family and to the state--in fact, to one of the most fanatically leftist parts of the state, the public schools.

   I remain incredulous that the Democratic party has allied itself with this movement.
