#43A similar travesty of justice happened in Italy in the late 90s with a bunch of parents going to jail, their kids being taken away by the local child protection services, parents committing suicide from the trauma etc. Two decades later, as part of an investigation, the kids (now adults) came out as saying that they were brainwashed, they were pressured into confessions of satanic rituals in the local cemetery, of bl…
Ah bummer that's why this story seemed familiar, I remembered the case in Italy, not the one in the US, thanks for mentioning this.

Do you really not notice that you are right now, in that comment participating in a moral panic?

The hysteria about sex education is going on in my country as we speak. The public debate is also influenced by Russian propaganda and the church who is pushing for religion as a final exam subject. They'd rather teach kids mumbojumbo instead of basic hygene and how to not get pregnant in your teens.
How to not get pregnant, how to use birth control, how to not get diseases, these are all good things to reach children. They go a bit beyond that in the US these days. I laughed at the slippery slope 15 years ago. It's real let me tell you. If you can get your country to take it where it should be and not a step further more power to you.
Care to give examples of what this slippery slope has led to? What are they teaching you disagree with?

#46In Norway, this fire was lit by a high ranking police officer in the state criminal police, it's "FBI". Many people was hurt, falsely convicted and many lives was destroyed. In the police, and in the child abuse industry, money was made and careers built on these lies. The police officer who brought this mental pest to Norway was eventually arrested, naked, hiding behind a bush in his neighbors garden - spying on a l…

People believing that masses of children are literally getting surgery, circumcision notwithstanding, is a result of a persistent campaign to cause panic. And it's the same hucksters selling fear to the same religious reactionaries. New day, new apocalyptic scapegoat.

These laws are against all of gender affirming care. They are not against surgeries specifically. Also, puberty blockers are not surgery. The way you jumped from frequent "surgeries" to "hormones" is the exact dishonest arguing people complain about.

This is a lie. The moral panic is about pronouns, puberty blockers, about mental health counselling.
The moral panic is trying to make books about transgender and gay banned. It is about closing libraries when they refuse to comply.

I think it's more about the children having radical surgery backed by zero scientific research. Couldn't care less what adults want do to themselves.
