Horry Country South Carolina isn’t the best place to be if you’re trans, as shown by the 500 parents in this video. None of them seem to have even the slightest compassion when it comes to the rights of trans children, who are some of the most bullied youth in western societies. The video begins as one brave civil rights activist tries to reason with them about what it must be like to be born into a body that feels sexually foreign to you. Her arguments – as patient and concise as they are – fall on deaf ears.
The group was discussing whether or not trans children ought to be allowed to use the restroom that they identify with on school property. In this setting, the argument is a little clearer since there usually aren’t a lot of pedophiles walking around schools whether they’re dressed in sex-appropriate clothing or not. This is simply a case of children either being accommodated or forced to continue to engage in behavior that is uncomfortable and yet physically necessary.
Many of the parents don’t even try the pedophile line and simply talk about God and sin and express their anger at even having to engage in the conversation at all. But some try the argument anyways and realize that they haven’t really thought it through. When it’s clear that their arguments aren’t making sense and even that the lone activist might be winning one parent has a brilliant idea. She begins to sing the hymn “Jesus Loves Me” and the rest of the crowd joins in. It works perfectly and avoids the possibility of any further understanding. Solution Averted. Amen.
Here were some of their arguments:
Pedophiles are out there okay, you want to give them the right okay. You don’t protect them.
-Snappy Dresser Transphobe
I’m not sure if this guy even understands the difference between a transsexual and a pedophile. Someone needs to explain to him that just because someone has mismatched genitals doesn’t mean they automatically what to rape kids. Actually since the transsexuals in question – which appear to be 100% hypothetical for the majority of these people – are children they couldn’t actually be pedophiles. They’d just be kids. He’s speaking as if gender freedom in teen bathrooms would create a truly dangerous situation. A sort of Wild Bathroom West with a registered sex offenders hiding in every stall.
God made all of them. Male and Female. The Lord don’t make mistakes. That’s the genetic code. It’s in there!
-Various Transphobes
Yeah, I guess. But as the activist in the video points out God does in fact make mistakes. There are people born without genitals, with both types of genitals or with two identical genitals. Some people are born with extra sex chromosomes technically making them a separate sex even though their genitals might appear either male or female. There’s no way to slice this so it will be as black and white as you’re making it.
The first question I have for you is do you believe in Christ Jesus? Do you believe in the Bible. You believe in God? But do you believe in Jesus? Do you believe in the word of God?
-Inquisitor Transphobe
I think we get the point buddy. He seems to be waiting for the trans-friendly activist to be struck by lightning for denying some bit of ‘the correct theology’ or perhaps for the group to form a mob and attack her.
When you say “what about children born with both body parts,” what about a child that’s born with two heads; Siamese twins? What about a child born with no arm? What about – hold on I’m getting ready to answer – when a child is born with two body parts we as adults know something is wrong with that. So we all know that God did not create that child that way. He created a girl with a female body part and he created a boy with a male body part. If something could happen – hold on, no you asked someone to answer the question – if something happen when a child have a female and male body part then according to nature – we’ll leave God out of it for one second – nature tells you that a female dog has a female body part, a male dog has a male body part. If we see a dog with two body parts we all know there’s something wrong with the order of nature and the order of God when it comes to that dog.
-Reverend Transphobe
With all due respect Reverend, you appear to be a bit out of your depth here. Perhaps the school has a biology course that you could sit in on to brush up a little on some of the newer discoveries made in the study of dog genitals. Actually doesn’t South Carolina get its textbooks from Texas? You know what Reverend, scratch that, you’re probably better off without it.
If you’re a female and you had a male part right now, if you had a male part, would you agree with that? If one day you wake up and you have a male part and you’re a female would you go to the doctor and find out what’s wrong with you?
-Reverend Transphobe
Yes exactly. Do you understand what you just said? Yes you know you’re a man and the trans activist knows she’s a lady and I know I’m a man. If any of us woke up to find that what we know on the inside didn’t match what ‘body part’ we find on the outside we ought to go see a doctor and get to the bottom of things. That’s exactly what’s going on. We have kids who’ve known that things didn’t match up since early childhood and they’re coping and seeing the doctor and in some cases taking hormones and getting surgery to sort themselves out. I’m glad you understand finally.
Here’s the video so you can have your own facepalms:
