Some might have to pay it back with interest.

So, this is interesting.

The TL;DR is that a Federal court in the US has recognized "gender dysphoria" as something covered under the Americans with Disabilities act.

The specific context is that a guy who goes by the name of Kesha Williams was sent to jail for six months for dealing drugs in 2018 in Virginia, and said "No, I'm a woman," and yet they put him in man-jail and refused to give him female hormones.

So he sued. And lost, because the court said that “gender identity disorders not resulting from physical impairments are bullshit, and not covered by the ADA." (I'm paraphrasing slightly.)

And then he appealed. And the appellate court said "ackshually, gender identity disorder is different from gender dysphoria. And that obsolete diagnosis focused solely on cross-gender identification, while gender dysphoria concerns itself primarily with distress and other disabling symptoms, rather than simply being transgender.”

And now he gets to sue the Sheriff of Fairfax County again.


So... yeah. Saying that you are uncomfortable about a perceived discrepancy between your actual gender and what you feel like now qualifies you for special legal treatment, even if you're an incarcerated drug dealer. At least in the geographic region stretching from Maryland to South Carolina (the jurisdiction of the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.)

Great. Now refusing to acknowledge/give a **** about chosen pronouns will end up as an ADA violation.

Pronouns were actually cited by the Court in its ruling.

Quoting the majority opinion written by Judge Diana Motz here:

Deputies ignored her requests that they refer to her as a woman. Instead, they referred to her as “mister,” “sir,” “he,” or “gentleman.”
(...)
A male deputy, Deputy Garcia, who knew Williams to be a woman but referred to her as a man, told her: “Sir, you are a male and I need to search you.”
That's not some lefty podcaster, that's a US Appellate Court judge speaking there, citing refusal to use female pronouns when speaking to or of a male, as part of the reason for their reversal of an earlier dismissal and permitting an ADA lawsuit against a Sherriff and a nurse to proceed.

This is a thing which has happened. And it's now binding case law in the central-Atlantic US.

Bombshell--partisan who leaked "Trump has nuclear secrets" outed "To put it in context, the Clintons stole nearly $200,000 worth of furniture, part of which they were told to pay back. There was no FBI raid. Later, Hillary’s server was chock-full of classified information that was easily hackable by spy agencies. No raid. Then there were President Obama’s 30 million pages of “unclassified documents” that he failed to return to the National Archives (NARA), also with no FBI raid. NARA and Obama’s foundation agreed to a Memo of Understanding (MOU) promise in 2018 that the documents would be digitized and in exchange, Obama’s foundation had to pay $3.3 million to NARA to be allowed to keep the records “on loan.”

David Ferreira signed that Memo of Understanding with the Obama people. Understand, Obama got to keep access to the documents because his foundation paid NARA to keep them “on loan.” No one gave Obama the side-eye, much less brought a battering ram to his Chicago manse.

So what the DOJ wants to keep secret are the documents behind the search warrant. While it’s normal to keep these things under wraps until there’s an indictment — and there will be an indictment of Trump — these are not normal times."

The woke consider "groomer" to be a slur.

To them, "Gays against Groomers" is meaningfully indistinguishable from something like "Gays against *******."

I can totally see some "woke" mom taking their kids to drag queen story time. Why do drag queens want to be around little kids?

By exposing children to concepts and behaviors which society as a whole considers to be deviant or unacceptable, the children become accustomed to those concepts and behaviors, and may begin to consider them normal and acceptable, attitudes which they will then carry into adulthood.

This is how, over time, you increase the overall tolerance of a society to a certain idea, such as black people and white people sharing the same swimming pool together.

Example:

Isn't it SOP with any totalitarian/communist movement to immediately implement a long term strategy of indoctrinating the youth into the virtue of their ways, regardless of parental or societal disagreement? Thinking Hitler youth, Khmer Rouge children, CCP, USSR, etc..

My dad did not think anything wrong with littering. I learned in school not to do it.

I would have thought our culture would have been changed by now, but "Adopt a Highway" is still needed to keep roadsides clean.

Anyway, there is a place for education to help the next generation be better than the previous. To learn "high" grammar, for instance.

LBGT lifestyle acceptance / recruitment would not be one of the things that has a legitimate place..

EDIT: The Mr. Rogers clip was an excellent find.
