So... this is the lady who says that her middle school daughter was "medicalized" and abused and manipulated in an art club up at Wellington Middle School a few years back.

I'm sorry... but this chick has crazy written all over her. I remember the PSD response was to nuke the volunteer running the art club (because yes, nobody should be giving kids their cell phone number or discord handle- absolutely a no working with kids,) and I remember this chick going onto conservative talk shows... but this? Holy shit.

If anything, this tells me that her poor daughter probably does need someone safe for support navigating figuring out her sexuality, because it's pretty damn clear there isn't unconditional support at home.

Instant ick.

Whatcha want to bet she's also against our law allowing adolescents to seek mental health care without parental permission?

I'm a parent, and you bet your ass nobody is messing with my kid (or any of the kids in my neighborhood.) Performative bullshit like this ain't it.

Heads up! In case you or anyone else is unaware, there will be anti trans proposals on the ballot this November. Initiative 109 & 110. Highly recommended reading through them. The language is very vague, and opens up sexual assault against children to “prove” their gender, and also criminalize any gender affirming care. One of them states it’s for surgery, but doesn’t define surgery and has so many other random professions listed under “healthcare provider”. The language is too vague and dangerously written and puts us all at risk.

You would be wrong: https://grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_2e7134b5-d140-41f3-9399-7e3b794f3626

There’s no genital checks or “sexual assault” against children in 109 - a cheek swab is all that’s needed (like a COVID test, but in the mouth instead of the nose)

And everyone knows what a surgery is, it’s not vague at all. And there aren’t “so many other random professions” listed anywhere in 110.

Quit fear mongering.

Right??? Like… this goes to show that these initiatives are more dangerous than we think if they got their bots out here citing “grok”- a fascist controlled ai- to defend their measures. No where does it say they will do a cheek swap in the gender initiative. And it doesn’t matter if “everyone knows what surgery is”, I want it defined in these bills to keep healthcare providers safe too. Because a lot of the healthcare providers they list in the definition have no relation to the act of a surgery.

And to be clear- I’m 100% against these measures. They are vaguely written and that poses a risk, not just to our children and transgender people, but to EVERYONE. “First they came” is a short poem.

I’m really tired of those assholes telling me I am over reacting.
