The hate directed at the LGBTQ+? How about enabling it? Real life consequences:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/educatio ... incidents/

"School hate crimes targeting LGBTQ+ people have sharply risen in recent years, climbing fastest in states that have passed laws restricting LGBTQ student rights and education, a Washington Post analysis of FBI data finds.

In states with restrictive laws, the number of hate crimes on K-12 campuses has more than quadrupled since the onset of a divisive culture war that has often centered on the rights of LGBTQ+ youth.

At the same time, calls to LGBTQ+ youth crisis hotlines have exploded, with some advocates drawing a connection between the spike in bullying and hate crimes, and the political climate.

LGBTQ+ students have long dealt with bullying and harassment at school, but some students are feeling particularly vulnerable due to the wave of legislation. They are also on edge following the death of Nex Benedict, a nonbinary teenager who died after a fight in their Oklahoma public school bathroom.

That’s the case for Carden, a transgender 17-year-old. He argues that politicians’ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric has shaped the views of adults in the conservative Virginia county where he lives.

“Kids parrot these ideas in their head, it’s like, ‘Oh, my parents think …,’” said Carden, whose parents asked that his last name be withheld for fear of further bullying. “Then it translates to being mean to other people their age.”

Twice this fall, a group of freshmen boys at Carden’s school harassed him for his gender identity — once calling him “queer” in a nasty tone, he said. The second time, after telling him a Pride flag he had tucked into his backpack was “pitiful,” one of the boys suggested Carden should “just go die already.”

Since his election in 2021, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has encouraged schools to require that students use facilities matching their biological sex and has signed a law requiring schools to alert parents of “sexually explicit” lessons, alarming LGBTQ+ advocacy groups who predicted it would be used to limit education on sexual orientation and gender identity. Other GOP governors have advanced similar policies through executive action and legislation.

The Post analysis found that the number of anti-LGBTQ+ school hate crimes serious enough to be reported to local police more than doubled nationwide between 2015-2019 and 2021-2022. The rise is steeper in the 28 states that have passed laws curbing the rights of transgender students at school and restricting how teachers can talk about issues of gender and sexuality.

In more-liberal states that have not enacted restrictive school LGBTQ+ laws, The Post found that the rise in FBI hate crimes was lower — though the absolute number of crimes was higher. Analysts said that may be because people in those states are more likely to report incidents.

Advocacy groups have also seen a rising number of young people in distress.

Calls have spiked to the Trevor Project, which provides support to LGBTQ+ youth aimed at suicide prevention and crisis intervention. In the fiscal year ending in July 2022, the group fielded about 230,000 crisis contacts, including phone calls, texts and online chats. The following year, it was more than 500,000.

Similarly, the Rainbow Youth Project, a nonprofit that offers crisis response and counseling to at-risk LGBTQ+ youth, saw calls to its hotline rise from an average of about 1,000 per month in 2022 to just over 1,400 per month last year. The top reason cited by callers in 2023 was anti-LGBTQ+ “political rhetoric,” such as debate over laws and policies limiting rights at school.

Young people will say, “`My government hates me,’ ‘My school hates me,’ `They don’t want me to exist,'” said Lance Preston, the group’s founder and executive director. “That ... is absolutely unacceptable. That is shocking.”

In the weeks after Nex’s death, the Rainbow Youth Project saw a crush of calls from Oklahoma, rising from 321 in January to nearly 1,100 in February, though the surge may have been driven at least in part by news coverage of the group’s work.

Nex, who used they/them pronouns, died on Feb. 8, a day after a confrontation in the bathroom of their school in a Tulsa suburb. School officials sent the students home, but Nex’s grandmother took Nex to the hospital later that day and called police.

In a statement to an officer, Nex and their grandmother said three girls had been bullying Nex and a friend because of how they dress. In the bathroom that day, these girls were making comments Nex found offensive, and Nex poured water on them. Then “all three of them came at me,” Nex said. A fight ensued.

Nex was discharged from the hospital but rushed back the next day, when they died. A final autopsy report has not been released, and police are still investigating. But the case has drawn national attention as LGBTQ+ advocates argue that Nex was bullied and that their death is a hate crime related to their gender identity. The Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Education this month opened an investigation into the school’s actions.

Since 2020, Oklahoma has adopted several laws restricting transgender rights. The state prohibits students from using bathrooms that do not align with the sex assigned at their birth and bars minors from receiving transition-related care. The legislature is considering additional measures this year, including a ban on changing one’s gender on birth certificates and requiring that schools teach that “a person’s sex is an immutable biological trait” that cannot be changed.

Many of these bills have been championed by the state’s schools superintendent, Ryan Walters, who said in an interview that Nex’s death was a heartbreaking tragedy, but that those who are connecting it to bullying or gender identity are pushing a “left-wing agenda” and “politicizing the death of a student.”

Va. killed bills aimed at trans youths. Here’s where the debate moves next.

Walters said he will continue to push for legislation to counter what he called “radical gender theory,” which he defines as the notion that one’s gender can differ from biological sex.

“There’s two genders. That’s the way God created us,” Walters said. Some young people are confused, he said, but, “your job as an adult is to help kids, not lie to them.”

He added that he opposes bullying but wholly rejects the idea that the political environment is encouraging it.

“Because you share a belief or an opinion does not mean it’s connected to violence,” he said.

Hate crimes on the rise

The FBI data show serious incidents against LGBTQ+ people are on the rise, particularly in the more than two dozen states that have passed laws targeting LGBTQ+ students or education. Some of these laws, like those enacted in Oklahoma, bar students from competing on sports teams or using school bathrooms that do not conform with their sex assigned at birth. Others circumscribe what teachers can teach about gender identity or sexual orientation or bar instruction on these subjects entirely.

When the data is limited to K-12 campuses, the increase is even more marked. In states that have enacted restrictive laws, there were more than four times the number of anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes on average, per year, in 2021-22 compared with the years 2015-2019 across elementary, middle and high schools.

“Policy sets the tone for real-world experiences [and] discriminatory policy just creates a hostile environment,” said Amy McGehee, a doctoral student at Oklahoma State University who researches LGBTQ health and well-being.

FBI data indicate the most common crimes associated with reported hate crimes at schools include simple assault, intimidation and vandalism.

McGehee added that LGBTQ students were reporting feeling unsafe on both college and K-12 campuses even before states began passing waves of policies restricting their rights at school. A sweeping Washington Post-KFF poll last year found that school is among the greatest stressors for transgender children in particular. Forty-five percent of trans adults said they felt generally unsafe at school as a child or teenager, compared to 10 percent of cisgender adults.

The Post’s analysis of FBI data found that the per capita hate crime rates on K-12 and college campuses were higher in the more liberal states that have not enacted laws limiting transgender rights. Although the finding may seem counterintuitive, it actually makes sense, said Stephen Russell, a University of Texas at Austin professor who studies LGBTQ youth. He said LGBTQ youth and families living in those 22 states were probably more likely to report violence and harassment in the first place.

Many of these states have adopted laws and school policies specifically prohibiting bullying of or discrimination against LGBTQ students, he said. In some places, he said, that includes required annual notifications alerting students and parents to their rights and spelling out how they can and should report bad behavior.

Overall, there were an average of 108 anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes at schools reported to the FBI per year from 2015 to 2019 on both college and K-12 campuses. In 2021 and 2022, the most recent for which data were available, the average more than doubled to 232. (The number of reported hate crimes overall dropped in 2020, when the covid-19 pandemic shut down many school campuses, forcing learning online.)

The rise was even steeper in states that have enacted laws or policies which restrict LGBTQ+ students’ education or rights at school — tripling from an average of about 28 per year from 2015-2019 to an average of about 90 per year in 2021-22. There was also an upsurge in the states without these laws, from about 79 reported hate crimes per year to 140.

“It creates a context where they see themselves, they stand up for themselves, they believe there is a place for them in their schools,” Russell said of LGBTQ children.

In addition, it’s possible more kids are public about their identities in more liberal states, creating more targets for bullies, said Lanae Erickson, a senior vice president at Third Way, a centrist Democratic think tank, who studies social policy and politics.

Both Erickson and Russell were unsurprised to learn that the number of hate crimes had risen faster in states with conservative laws.

“The data you have is the thing I’ve been worrying about, and here it is,” said Russell.

‘They don’t want us to exist’
The upsurge in restrictive laws and in school bullying has left some LGBTQ+ students feeling under attack.

Last year, classmates regularly harassed a transgender teenager in Mississippi for his short hair and for wearing boy’s clothing and chest binders, his mother said in an interview. Throughout that year, her son often woke up in the middle of the night vomiting due to stress. He wound up missing about three weeks of school due to bullying-induced breakdowns, recalled the mother, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from family members who do not support her son’s gender identity.

She said her son has been suicidal at times, at one point keeping a journal in which he detailed plans to kill himself. She said he also cut himself. “He feels shamed,” she said. “It’s hard for him to find friends.”

In 2021, Mississippi enacted a law barring transgender students from playing on sports teams that match their gender identity. Partly citing that state policy, the mother said she feels like everything is just getting worse."

Yeah, pretty idiotic decision across the board. Instead of letting the doctors, patient and parents decide, now the government gets to decide. This will cause close to 100x more pain than it prevents.

Britain's made a lot of stupid decisions the past 8 years, so this isn't surprising.

I need some help with this. The NHS in Britain is making this decision. Is this Britain's publicly funded health care service? Who makes decisions for the NHS? Health experts and politicians or just one or the other?

So, taxes were funding this health care for children that one side calls "life-saving" and the other side calls "experimental"? And now taxes won't fund this divisive health care for children. In private practices this is still allowed?

It wasn't divisive until recently and only due to politics. Puberty blockers have been around for decades and are also used in instances unrelated to trans kids. And less than 100 kids in the entire UK are on puberty blockers, so this isn't some huge cost drain on the NHS.

From my understanding this would only affect NHS clinics for trans kids. Puberty blockers will still be available in some private clinics and for some research trials. Although there are bills going through parliament to ban these as well. Of course private clinis are gonna cost extra $$ on top of what people are paying in taxes.

I don't know the inner workings of the NHS, but from a quick search it looks similar to private health insurance decisions here. Generally a mix of bean counters, admins/marketing/politicians and doctors deciding what treatments you can get with your premiums (taxes in the NHS).

However, this decision seem to be more political in nature. The NHS’s proposed new treatment guidelines were altered after they were reviewed earlier this year by a Conservative government wary of medical interventions for transgender adolescents, Reuters found.

Girlhood, According to a Grown Man

by ABIGAIL ANTHONY, March 14, 2024

In 2023, social-media sensation Dylan Mulvaney celebrated 365 days of “girlhood” with an 80-minute variety show. Yesterday, Dylan recognized the second anniversary of his publicly claiming to be a woman by releasing a song called “Days of Girlhood.” I won’t comment on how the song sounds, except to say that it is like waterboarding for your ears. Instead, I’ll criticize what the song represents. Here is an excerpt from the lyrics:

Monday, can’t get out of bed
Tuesday morning, pick up meds
Wednesday, retail therapy - “Cash or credit?” I say, “Yes”
Thursday, had a walk of shame. Didn’t even know his namе
Weekends are for kissing friends. Friday night, I’ll overspend
Saturday, we flirt for drinks. Playin’ wingman to our twinks
Sunday, the Twilight soundtrack, Cues my breakdown in the bath

It strikes me as misogynistic to suggest that “girlhood” is defined by drugs, excessive shopping, casual intercourse, listening to certain music, and having depressive episodes in a bathroom. What Dylan portrays as “girlhood” is a Barbie-esque lifestyle characterized by a vapid pursuit of conventional attractiveness and sexual pleasure without any responsibilities. Admittedly, I struggle to detect anything remotely positive about femininity in this song that supposedly celebrates femininity.

The people who insist that “gender” is a “social construct” resort to insulting tropes to affirm their preferred “gender identity.” Progressives encourage expanding “gender roles” while reducing “femininity” to a brainless obsession with lingerie and make-up, thereby promoting conformity with derogatory stereotypes rather than breaking a binary. Oddly, they condemn phrases such as “You throw like a girl,” then celebrate a narcissistic man who proclaims, “Look here, watch me throw like a girl.” Despite all their shrieking about “diversity,” progressives conceive of “womanhood” narrowly as pink, glittery, and, ultimately, artificial — which is why it is considered accessible to both sexes.

I believe that Dylan does not want to be a woman. Instead, Dylan (like most other self-described “trans women”) wants to be glamorous. Why do “trans women” rarely — if ever — flaunt sweatpants, flat shoes, hijabs, or modest dresses? Why do “trans women” attempt to look like women from pornography rather than like butch lesbians? Why is it that “trans women” never say that they “feel” like a woman because they enjoy traditional domestic duties such as cleaning or cooking?

These men treat “woman” as a ritzy outfit that is fun to wear. But outfits only change a person’s appearance. Putting on a tiara does not make me a princess; it just makes me Abigail in a tiara. Similarly, a man in a miniskirt is just a man in a miniskirt whose most noticeable accessory is a crushing desire for attention and affirmation. Dylan, among others, treats “woman” the same way I treated “Clara” in The Nutcracker: A role to be performed in a costume. The key difference is that, despite lacking talent, Mulvaney garners a much louder applause.

Dylan sings, “Calling women of all ages / Girls like me gotta learn the basics.” But girls do not “learn the basics” of being girls; femaleness is not a lifestyle that is taught or learned. My childhood was not particularly “girly,” according to people who share Dylan’s ideas. I played chess, read books, swam in a somewhat gross lake, and leaped across a dance studio in painful pointe shoes — the latter in greatest proportion. But I was always a girl, regardless of what I was doing. Even when I did things generally reserved for males — such as take the boys’ ballet class to practice jumps — I was still a girl.

Now, as I write articles on my computer, sit in libraries, and attend lectures — sometimes while wearing make-up and earrings — I have something that nobody can take away from me and no man can replicate: womanhood.

Hate crimes on the rise

Where did Nex get the prozac, that Nex used to kill themselves?

who the F prescribes prozac to a 14 year old?

Who Should Not Take Prozac?
The FDA advises against the use of Prozac for children, adolescents, and young adults. This is due to an increased risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It may cause preterm labor or birth defects when taken by pregnant women. It may cause infant exposure to the drug if taken by breastfeeding women.1

Writing a chapter in a book, embellished true stories, this one about young people, sports, and sexuality.

Attending a birthday party, second grade, was first confronted with rememerable hypocrisy. THe issue started with dolls. Gi Joe, and the Raggy Ann/Andy dolls.

A couple of "tough guy, because we play "pop warner ", brought GI Joe dolls as gifts. The host, and birthday boy, politely said thank you, put them down and went outside to play street hockey, with the sticks that suck had brought .

When it came time for cake, we went inside and witnessed the boys "accesorizing" the dolls. Suck pointed out that the dolls were literally Ken dolls, of the Barbie series. Giving the doll a gun, fatigues....and my favorite.....the Poiseden speer.....didn't make it less doll like. .......


..........same time period, at lunch, pointed out that suck slept with a Raggy Ann doll. The "pop warner " crowd, as you can imagine, called out all sorts of names. Hateful to the LGBTQ community, which, we guess, suck is now a part of that community. Years earlier than Caitlyn left Bruce , age wize. Suck pointed out that sleeping with a MALE doll, instead of a FEMALE doll, is.......well, you get the point.

Was this the first part of indoctrination ? Same sex dolls, to sleep with ?

Learned to REALLY hate the football crowd, after learning about "camp" and "t bagging", a term unfamilar with until it was reported. It was one of the High Schools along the Merrimack RIver, in Massachusetts. Amersbury,, perhaps. A freshman "ratted out" the hazing footballers, ending a years long tradition of rubbing male genitals in a young males face. So cool. . The football crowd, cried. "only having fun" kind of stuff.


All true.

Did you sleep with a MALE doll, or female doll ?
