About the HRC's 'State of Emergency for LGBTQ+ Persons in the United States'

The struggle is real!

The Human Rights Campaign has issued a warning of a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ persons in the United States, and I have to agree.

First, based on the actions of gender ideologues like those at the Human Rights Campaign, each of us is at terrible risk of being permanently branded as liars, and as adamant enemies of freedom of speech and conscience.

Second, based on the actions of gender ideologues like those at the Human Rights Campaign, we’re at risk of being the cause of the destruction of women’s hard-won rights of fair competition and representation in sports.

Third, based on the actions of gender ideologues like those at the Human Rights Campaign, we’re at risk of being forever associated with positive support for the fetish perversions of straight transvestites and men like Sam Brinton, or the many men who’ve used gender identity as a way to identify into women’s prisons, or into other public conveniences where same-sex nudity has been allowed by law and custom.

Fourth, based on the actions of gender ideologues like those at the Human Rights Campaign, we’re all at risk of being blamed for the widespread and horrendous medical abuse of same-sex attracted and troubled children, and many vulnerable, mentally unwell adults.

Fifth, based on the actions of gender ideologues like those at the Human Rights Campaign, we’re at risk of being drafted into a coercive, socially abusive campaign of suicide misinformation and suicide contagion, based on poorly controlled surveys that don’t account for either broader social context or confounding mental health factors.

These reputational harms are already severe, and are enabling physical and emotional harms that seem to escalate on a continuing basis.

I would wish that gender ideologues would consider the very grave harms and divisions they’re perpetrating on society for the sake of their own personal gratification, and look for some other way to improve their self worth than by spreading completely unhinged falsehoods.

Our forebears asked that same-sex attraction no longer be categorized as a mental illness, because that is not true, not because truth confused and enraged them.

When the truth enrages you, maybe you have a problem, regardless of your sexual orientation.
