Kansas Parents Want Trans-Themed Library Books Moved

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. In this case, I have to laugh at the sexualization of trans identity. That's the basis of the argument to move books for trans kids..."libraries shouldn't teach sex education". Sigh.

Oh my word, that's like moving Meg and Mog (or Sabrina/Harrty Potter) because it condones pagan rites and witchcraft. Most Librarians I know (ok  the 3 I know) would brick up their windows before they go down the farenhiet 451 route...

Sad to say, but that has already been done in Library systems here in the same area as the one on Trans Children is being done here in the U.S..

 

On Trans issues is ALWAYS the claim that children will be confused by the books.  I just posted an article yesterday about research on that subject that shows just the opposite about Trans children.  A friend of mine who is an M.D. that works with Trans children has some seriously strong language about who is really the confused party -- and it is not the children.

That's always a strange one to me. What's wrong with kids being confused? How many totally imaginary things do we teach kids about? And then we worry that something real is going to confuse them?

The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are confusing, too, but we have no problem teaching kids about them. ?

Nooooooo!!!  You lie!  I KNOW they are real!  Where did that quarter under my pillow come from then Sugar??  Huh?? Huh??  Sure not from my mom.  She didn't have a quarter to spare.  LOL

 

Seriously, this kind of silly nonsense doesn't surprise me.  Although it's really not silly.  I think it reflects many things about society in America and where in general, Americans stand regarding transgender adults and children or the mere topic of them.  While we sometimes find acceptance, or at least tolerance, and in some ways things ARE better, I still think that we have a very long way to go. 

 

As a side note, If you're interested in doing some reading on transgender topics written for healthcare providers, feel free to take a look at any of these.  Much of it has to do with dealing with transgender children.  The content provider is through Medscape.  They are a decent provider of medical info/updates as well as continuing education.

While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Britannica   Happiness | Definition, Nature, Psychology, & Facts | Britannica Mar 13, 2024 — happiness, in psychology, a state of emotional well-being that a person experiences either in a narrow sense, when good things happen in a specific moment, or more broadly, as a positive evaluation of one's life and accomplishments overall—that is, subjective well-being. Happiness can be distinguished both from negative emotions (such as sadness, fear, and anger) and also from other positive emotions (such as affection, excitement, and interest).

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines happiness as “an emotion of joy, gladness, satisfaction, and well-being.” Many of us would agree with the APA's definition, yet the more you look at it, the more it can seem incomplete. For example, you may feel all of those emotions at one moment, but an hour later you may feel none of them. So are you a happy person or not? en.wikipedia.org   Happiness - Wikipedia Happiness is a positive and pleasant emotion, ranging from contentment to intense joy. Moments of happiness may be triggered by positive life experiences or thoughts, but sometimes it may arise from no obvious cause.

      Welcome to the forums, M.A. Duh . . . more questions came up for me,too--but I'm finding they don't have to be solved all at once. One thing at a time as I ask for help works for me. Keep coming back.  —Davie

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."
