Conservatives explain why they’re so obsessed with Trans Kids
Now that Conservatives in Canada have embraced their American cousins’ plan of winning elections by attacking Trans kids at every opportunity, we asked them why they are so obsessed with this small minority of vulnerable youths.
"We have to protect kids from being sexualized too young. And I'm 100% confident this quote won't look super ironic when I'm charged with child porn in a few months."
"As the party of small government we think it's only right to decide the name, pronouns, medical care, extracurricular activities and classroom discussions of our children."
"This is simply about parents' rights. Specifically the parents' right to be transphobic. The parents' right to support their Trans child and get them access to gender affirming care not so much."
"Kids are too young to know what they want. When I was a teenager I thought drinking and driving was cool. But two arrests and one uncharged vehicular homicide later I learned."
"Why should Trans kids be celebrated for being who they are when I get criticized every time I act like myself: a homophobic, transphobic bigot who hates people that are different to them."
"Obsessed is a strong word. I only spend like 30% of my day thinking of ways to limit Trans kids' freedoms. That's way less than I do thinking of ways to sell Ontario's public services to Staples and land to the Koch brothers."
"I mean who else are we going to obsess about? No seriously tell me which marginalized group we should go after next."
