Parents don't want kids exposed to 'deviants'

In his latest diatribe, Mr. Becht, refers to anyone objecting to children being exploited by the trans community as haters.

Yes, it is getting near to hate when a parent cannot send their child to school without that child being imposed upon by deviants who offer nothing in the form of education but instead indoctrinate children into believing that those who mimic women are somehow a reflection of moral behavior.

Mr. Becht, I remember from the days on my first job out of college working for the City of New York that the term transgender was not even aired. In time that social construct was promoted by a magazine publisher of a transvestic fetish magazine. I forgot his name but did know he admitted to being not only a transvestite but a married heterosexual. That confused many but we just ignored him as long as his behavior was not insulting to the educated mind. He was what he was. He even made clear his intent was not to include homosexuals, intersex nor transsex under the transgender umbrella for they did not fit the criteria. People accepted that for what it was as long as it did not impose its deviant aspects upon the overall community. Oh my, how that has changed.

Now we have an alphabet of add-ons to what once was a limited homosexual, lesbian and bisexual identity, (GLB). I can see how some of those who cross-dress might liken themselves to the homosexual community for quite a few of them were simply homosexual themselves. But the extension went on to include many who had no attachment to those whose sex compulsion defined them as deviants, the heterosexual transvestites as an example. How did it happen that in time so too were the intersex and even some transsex added to the alphabet when in fact they did not relate to same sex relationships. At the time it did not matter for they were not, as far as I was aware, imposing their behavior upon innocents. Again, how that has changed.

Now we have a full explosion of mimics pushing their agenda, not on mature adults able to discern fact from fiction, but upon children whose young minds are easily manipulated. What makes the matter worse is the parents of these children are not even aware of the insidious propaganda being leveled at their children. Children for whom even a prayer at the beginning of the school day is forbidden and the Pledge of Allegiance often ignored.

And let us stop using gender as a substitute for sex. Gender is above the shoulder and sex is below the waist. One may have a confused gender but the biological sex is usually apparent except, of course, for those whose sex was not so apparent at the time of birth -- the intersex.

I would suggest Mr. Becht and all of those who confuse facts to make clear what you mean by haters. Parents who do not want their children exposed to deviants are not expressing hate but are clearly concerned as they should be about the influences their children are subject to. Just because people do not accept another's lifestyle does not mean they hate; it simply means they don't welcome their behavior. To live one's own life should be the norm. Attempting to force others to accept yours is not only unacceptable but an intrusion.

Many of the libs that post on the internet attack those simply because they have religious beliefs. As I see it the bible may have some areas that are confusing but for many it serves as a moral code. I do have to ask? What moral code do those who attack those of faith adhere to?
