A local Tennessee library board has fired the county’s top librarian for refusing to comply with its vote to move more than 100 LGBTQ books from the children’s to the adult section over claims that they promote “gender confusion.”

    “Gender confusion?” You mean like the kid who can’t ask anyone in his life why he’s attracted to boys and not girls? Or the kid who constantly feels like she’s in a stolen, ill-fitting body and scares herself every time she looks in the mirror and a boy stares back?

    You’d think books would be a sensible, non-judgemental way to find answers without painting a target on your back.

    But that’s the real point of all this, isn’t it?

      Yes. That is the point. Cruelty, sowing feelings of confusion and isolation, and ultimately causing suicide. Then using those suicide numbers to send out a warped and biased statistic suggesting that Trans people are killing themselves because being manipulated by the “evil, leftist, communist, socialist, Obama, Democrat agenda” to further justify more of their cruel acts and systematic genocide of the Trans population.
