Virginia Democrat Wants To Criminalize Parents Who “Misgender” Their Children

Making laws surrounding transgender “rights” is disturbingly a lot like the concept of spectral evidence taken from the days of the Salem witch trials.  Trans identity is a purely subjective concept with zero concrete proof to support it – All a person has to do is simply say they are now whatever made-up gender they announce at the moment and the rest of the world is supposed to revolve around them.

During witch trials witnesses could say that ghosts or spirits were telling them that a defendant was guilty of devilry, and the court was supposed to take these unfounded accusations as evidence.  Similarly, under gender identity laws a person could say that they are trans and accuse other people of violating their “right” to be referred to in the pronouns they prefer.    

But it goes beyond the issue of personal feelings.  Maybe a biological man suddenly decides he is a woman that wants to use a public woman’s bathroom because there is an underage girl in there he has targeted, but he’s not required to provide proof of being a woman and we are not allowed to stop him.  We are required to accept his identity at face value based on his subjective claims.  Otherwise, we are “assuming that person’s gender.”  We become the bad guys for applying common sense.

Subjective law is the beginning of the end of a free society because it places the preponderance of evidence into the hands of lunatics and dictators that can fabricate their own proof at will.  

Virginia Democrat and delegate Elizabeth Guzman believes the opposite, though.  She plans to introduce a bill in Virginia’s upcoming fall session that would expand the definition of child abuse to include parents who refuse to use gender identify in the manner their children demand.  In other words, if you are a parent in Virginia, your kids have the power in the household.  All they have to do is say they are trans and if you do not obey then Child Protective Services can get involved.

The bill would make misgendering of children a misdemeanor or possible felony.  Guzman clarifies:  

“If the child shares with those mandated reporters, what they are going through, we are talking about not only physical abuse or mental abuse, what the job of that mandated reporter is to inform Child Protective Services (CPS)…That’s how everybody gets involved. There’s also an investigation in place that is not only from a social worker but there’s also a police investigation before we make the decision that there is going to be a CPS charge.”  

When asked by the local reporters whether she isn’t “criminalizing parents” as many Republicans argue, Guzman answered:

“No, it’s not. It’s educating parents because the law tells you the do’s and don’ts…So this law is telling you do not abuse your children because they are LGBTQ.”

When countered with arguments from people who call for religious freedom, Guzman makes the typical leftist response:

“The Bible says to accept everyone for who they are. So that’s what I tell them when they asked me that question, and that’s what I will continue to tell people.”

First, in terms of legal definitions, there is no scientific indicators of what makes a child or anyone else “trans.”  Thus, there is no way to prove in a court of law that a parent “abused” a “trans child” because there is no way to prove a child is trans.  Beyond the extremely tiny percentage of people that have the mental illness known as Gender Dysphoria, which requires years of psychological therapy to designate, objective proof of trans identity does not exist.

Second, a child’s hurt feelings are not grounds for CPS to intervene in parental rights.  

Third, the trans identity movement is not a civil liberties movement, it’s a political movement.  LGBT people have the same exact legal rights as everyone else.  What the trans movement wants is extraordinary powers and special treatment.  They want the ability to dictate other people’s speech and behavior according to their whims.  This is unacceptable.

Fourth, it is not the purpose of the law to “educate parents.” It’s not the job of the government to educate parents.  The government and the bureaucrats that infest it are not qualified to give parenting advice.  It is the job of government only to protect the rights of citizens as outlined in the Constitution.  Gender pronouns and personal feelings are not constitutionally protected.  

Free speech is protected, though.  

Fourth, Guzman appears to be unfamiliar with the Bible, because there is a list of behaviors in that book that are prohibited.  We might not all agree with every item on that list, but “accepting everyone” is absolutely not a religious requirement.  Some people and behaviors should not be accepted, because they lead to the decline and downfall of civilization.  Thousands of years of observation have taught us this, but leftists believe they know better. Children dictating to their parents is on that list, along with enabling the mentally ill and putting them in positions of authority.  

One would hope that Elizabeth Guzman and ideological zealots like her will be swiftly removed from office as soon as possible, but it is likely that America will have to suffer through more of their insanity before people are finally fully fed up.

Video: Trans ‘Activist’ Literally Burns Harry Potter Book

“’I only burn the bad books’ said every book burner ever.”

A trans activist decided to take out frustrations with J.K Rowling’s stance on women’s rights by burning a Harry Potter book, prompting the author to respond.

The person, named Tess Hall, posted a video of  a copy of the Harry Potter book ‘Goblet of Fire’ being burned, with the activist complaining about “hate we’ve been seeing of late.”

before throwing the book into the flames, Hall continues, “If we’re going to return to this sort of time where hate is involved, people marching the street against the existence of others,” adding “I think if we are going to be in the business of book burning lets make sure we are burning the right books.”

Hall then delivers a monologue about ‘extinguishing hate with love and acceptance of all,’ while referring to Christians as ‘Christo-fascists’

Rowling responded to the video:

Others chimed in:

This isn’t a one off:

Trans Activist Ridiculed For Burning Harry Potter Books

Respondents to the book burning trend have previously pointed out the similarity to how religious fundamentalists wanted to burn Harry Potter books in the 2000s.

    Leftists Complain About Transgender Shooter Being Misgendered

    The real horror, apparently.

    Some leftists reacted to the horrific killing of children at a Christian school in Nashville by a transgender-identified culprit by complaining that the killer was being misgendered.

    Yes, really.

    28-year-old Audrey Hale murdered three children and three adults at The Covenant School, a private Presbyterian school, in what appears to be a hate-motivated attack.

    As we highlighted earlier, the media’s initial reaction was to express “confusion” about whether they should refer to the culprit as a man or a woman, given that Hale had been identifying as a man in recent months.

    Some trans activists on Twitter appeared to be more upset over the mass murderer being misgendered than the actual shooting.

    “5 times @cnn misgendered. No correction, whined Karen Lopez. “A mass shooting is horrible. Misgendering does not make anything better.”

    “It seems like maybe there’s plenty of confusion about whether or not the shooter is a transgender man or woman,” she added. “And finding out that the police there don’t know how to use the right words does not shock me. But mixing genders in the same story is still a problem.”

    The reaction to her bizarre remarks was swift.

    A statement issued by the Transgender Resistance Network demanded the media “respect the self-identified pronouns” of the mass murderer.

    Another trans activist was also upset that the child killer’s pronouns weren’t respected.

    null

    “Another day, another mass shooting. The shooter has been identified by his deadname,” tweeted Spencer Bergstedt, J.D., who has “he/him” pronouns in his bio. “It appears he used he/him pronouns & was a former student at the school. Of course, MSM & the LEO’s discussing the issue are misgendering the murderer. I’m sad & angry on so many levels.”

    “OMG, they misgendered a fuckin mass murderer. When will the hate ever end?” responded one Twitter user.

    However, other respondents seemed to share Bergstedt’s anger at the egregious act of misgendering.

    The mind truly boggles.

    Media Loses Confidence in Preferred Pronouns After Transgender Shooter Attacks Christian School

    Creates “confusion” around gender identity in bizarre response to horrific mass shooting.

    The media appears to have developed a sudden confusion surrounding preferred pronouns after a woman who identified as a man attacked a Christian school in Nashville, killing three children and three adults.

    28-year-old Audrey Hale carefully planned out the assault on The Covenant School, leaving behind maps and a manifesto, the details of which have yet to be revealed.

    Given Hale’s transgender identity, many have speculated that the massacre was motivated by Tennessee’s recent ban on all forms of “gender-affirming” transgender care for minors as well as drag queen shows, although others have suggested the motive was Hale’s resentment at having been made to attend the school.

    Whatever the motive, the media’s reaction was to lose confidence in its assertion that transgender pronouns should be respected.

    Despite Hale, a biological woman, having started identifying as a man in recent months, BBC News expressed confusion over the issue, despite authorities making clear the culprit was transgender.

    The New York Times also claimed there was “confusion” surrounding the shooter’s transgender identity, despite such confusion only being expressed by the newspaper itself.

    Some even accused the NYT of de facto apologizing for “misgendering” the killer.

    The newspaper initially reported that the culprit was a “woman,” but later changed their description.

    USA Today also appeared to apologize on behalf of authorities for initially stating that the shooter was in fact a biological woman.

    Meanwhile, Newsweek appeared to blame anyone other than the culprit for the shooting, citing the ban on drag queen shows, gender-affirming care and “assault weapons” remaining legal, with the news outlet almost appearing to attempt to justify the carnage.

    The meme below just above sums up the media’s bizarre reaction.
