Top O' the Briefing
Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Thoruünybal became a minor life coaching celebrity with the success of his weekend avocado-ripening intensives.
Democrats in the 21st century have picked some issues to go all-in on that have driven wedges between the party elites and the more regular American types in flyover country. Chief among these issues is their obsession with mainstreaming all things transgender, which exists at the fringe of a fringe.
When the Joe Biden reign of error begin in 2021, the Democrats decided that, not only should they be vocal champions of transgender people, but that they should also teach 8-year-old kids about transitioning. Everything has to be the worst or creepiest with leftists. Here is a disturbing example from something that Sarah wrote yesterday:
Imagine this: You're the mother of a seven-year-old little girl. You're at your local YMCA for her swimming lessons, and afterwards, the two of you go into the women's locker room so she can change out of her bathing suit into dry clothes before heading home.
You're leaving your stall, and you hear a man's voice. Before you know what's happening, you see that man sitting in the locker room with his genitals exposed. You question what he's doing in there, and he responds, "Honey, I’m a woman" as you and your daughter run out of the locker room.
This isn't some sick scenario I came up with; it's what actually happened, according to one mom whose daughter takes swim lessons at the North Kansas City YMCA in Clay County, Missouri. "This is not a case of transitional status," the mother said. “This is an issue of somebody showing their body parts to my child in a room where she should be safe from such things."
What used to be a crime is now something that leftists have twisted into a civil rights issue. If you are at all outraged by a hirsute pervert exposing his genitalia in front of a little girl in the name of trans rights, you're called a bigot. In the diseased minds of modern day Democrats, the child predator in the above scenario is viewed as a brave pioneer fighting for rights.
Gee, I wonder why so many traditional Dem voters looked elsewhere last November?
Contrary to what Democrats would have people believe, Republicans and conservatives aren't organizing adult transgender witch hunts, we merely prefer that they keep discussions about sexuality and genitals away from young children. A time traveler from, say, way back in 2005 might wonder why this is even a concern. Surely rational people from all over the political spectrum could agree that discussions about genital-swapping have no place in kindergartens, our time-traveling friend would say.
But here we are. This is from Paula:
Enter Mahmoud v. Taylor, which is currently before the Supreme Court. At issue, according to Amy Howe at ScotusBlog, is "Whether public schools burden parents’ religious exercise when they compel elementary school children to participate in instruction on gender and sexuality against their parents’ religious convictions and without notice or opportunity to opt out." Moreover, it will rule on who knows best: parents or school bureaucrats.
The case involves a school district in Montgomery County, Md., which thought it would be a good idea to force LGBTQ+ materials on children as young as age three—including vulnerable kids with special needs.
If a child manages to survive their abortion gauntlet, Democrats then want to claim the kid as a prize to be wrested from his or her parents. As I wrote in my classic, "Don't Let the Hippies Shower," the Dems would force you to enroll your children in public schools while he or she was still in the womb if they could.
Republicans need to work tirelessly to get Democratic officials on the record about trans rights. If this is the hill they want to die on, let's do all we can to help them charge up the thing for a final, pathetic stand.
