So, trying to digest this. One way I do that is to replace the subject ( or is it object, the ones referred to as their) of the sentence with something else. Try âorphan childrenâ, âautistic peopleâ, âpeople with dementiaâ, âpeople with brain injuriesâ. These are minorities of the population who have restricted rights because of their abilities. We protect them, you could say we are their âsaviorsâ, although I wouldnât because that word doesnât make much sense.
Only a very few people would say it is only âmasochistic liberalsâ who think any of the above should not be treated with dignity, protected from harm and exploitation, and then ask to be left out of any responsibility for doing so. Itâs the basic social contract. Itâs the difference between a modern world and a Medieval one.
And I left out examples that are even closer to LGBT. LGBT are actively participating in the world, and most of the time, you donât know you are dealing with one. It wasnât that long ago that women were treated as dysfunctional and couldnât even have a credit card. In some countries, they still canât drive a car. But, enough people didnât want to be left out of caring about that and changed it.
Hereâs an interesting look at attitudes towards Sex Education, Then and Now, or perhaps I should call it a blast from the past, about attitudes in general.
Christian Fundamentalist Pat Robertson 2013 Defends Trans People: âItâs Not For You To Decide Or To Judgeâ
In a 2013 broadcast, Pat Robertson responded to a viewerâs question about what to do in his workplace now that two of his co-workers have âdecided that they are females.â Robertson said that he thinks that trans people do exist but itâs rare and that he doesnât think there is any sin associated with it: âItâs not for you to decide or to judge.â
I donât know why I keep repeating this because you arenât going to get it, but itâs not about ignoring lbgt rights. It is about the bizarre promotion of deviant sexuality to children.
We donât âget itâ because itâs not happening. If deviant behavior is promoted, there are already laws against that. LGBTQ or not, doesnât matter. Youâre saying those expressions are deviant, Iâm saying itâs their right.
A spokesperson for Republican Attorney General Brenna Bird, who defeated Millerâs bid for an 11th term in November, told the Des Moines Register that those payments are now on hold as part of a review of victim services.
âAs a part of her top-down, bottom-up audit of victim assistance, Attorney General Bird is carefully evaluating whether this is an appropriate use of public funds,â Bird Press Secretary Alyssa Brouillet said in a statement. âUntil that review is complete, payment of these pending claims will be delayed.â
Victim advocates were caught off guard by the pause. Ruth Richardson, CEO of Planned Parenthood North Central States, said in a statement that the move was âdeplorable and reprehensible.â âŚ

DES MOINES, Iowa â The Iowa Attorney Generalâs Office has paused its practice of paying for emergency contraception â and in rare cases, abortions â for victims of sexual assault, a move that drew criticism from some victim advocates. âŚ
Under Iowa law, money from the victim compensation fund is used to directly compensate victims of crimes, and to fund programs that provide them services and train law enforcement and victim services agencies to address human trafficking and domestic abuse.
The stateâs Sexual Assault Examination Payment Program, which is run by the attorney generalâs Crime Victims Assistance Division, specifically states that victims and their insurance companies are not to be billed for the cost of exams. The compensation fund covers the bills whether or not the victim chooses to report the assault to law enforcement.
But, of course it requires a few grams of compassion towards others,
to appreciate what harm this will do to real women, victimized by degenerate sadistic men.
This might look like âwhataboutismâ, but itâs not. Itâs what I was saying. The issue is manufactured, something most wouldnât even notice, but they figured out how to make it sound like itâs destroying America. Meanwhile, while youâre distracted by that, theyâre taking your rights and your money.
