The declaration was made in Trump’s designation of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

    As I stated during my Joint Address to the Congress last month, my message to every American child is simple: you are perfect exactly the way God made you,” reads Trump’s statement.

    The implication is that God didn’t make anyone gay, trans, non-binary, etc., and if any minor claims to be naturally the way they feel they are, MAGA fascists will step in to correct them with God on their side. They will tell themselves they’re doing a good thing. That’s how the original Nazis lived with working in concentration camps committing mass murder too, and like MAGA fascists they also considered themselves good Christians.

      The fact that anyone could hear this man pretend to believe in God and actually believe it… Just… I can’t even

      It’s interesting that God makes everyone’s genitals perfectly, but he keeps messing up hearts, lips, chromosomes, spines… I guess pobody’s nerfect. (Except for me, because God made me that way.)

        And yet they keep writing exceptions allowing IGM on intersex infants every time they write their laws banning transgender healthcare for minors.

    If it’s about child abuse why are they spending so much effort going after the abused? Trans youth turn into trans adults and they are trying to invalidate their existence. Also, this whole thing is rich coming from one of Epstein’s best friends.

    They’re desperately trying to distract from the fact they just wiped out a 1/5th of the value of the stock market, and so they’re throwing red meat to the culture war crowd by backing over the people they’ve already run over

    25 years ago my super Christian parents knew about trans people and children who identified as trans. There were news shows about trans kids. They didn’t care.

    I think a lot about how we got here and about how this was inevitable.

      Minorities are tolerated as a curiosity until they start getting ideas about having rights. See also: gay people and free black people in the 18th and 19th centuries.

    Anyone wanna bet when they start gassing? (Or maybe they are already gassing on smaller scales)

    i think child abuse is actually letting a known paedophile hang around your rich people resort for the purpose of grooming children but that’s just me.
