Ted Cruz harasses DC preschool teacher for being pregnant

I also wouldn't even really describe this as a criticism of said citizen, so much as the school for indoctrinating kids with these beliefs/exposing them to this fetish in its classrooms.

My brother in Christ don't talk about how kids shouldn't be exposed to fetishes when you would literally support Roger Tozer in his quest to mutilate his daughter. It's like the great poet Conor Mason once said: "the conservatives aren't conservative, they're just as venomous."

I've never heard of either of these people. You sound insane.

Conor Mason is the lead vocalist of Nothing But Thieves (the original line referred to liberals, but I changed it to fit with your worldview), Roger Tozer is basically my fictional go-to for idiots like you: His daughter, Danielle, is transgender, and she had been transformed into a(n effectively cisgender) girl by the eponymous mantle of Dreadnought. Because Danielle's closet of glass after the fact was evidently not transparent enough, he decides "hmm, yes, I will mutilate him so he can be a boy again," eager to give his "son" testosterone shots, and surgery to get back "his"... you know. This plan does not go well, however, as Danny finally musters the strength to shatter the glass closet, only for her father to refer to her with many slurs, and eventually kick her out of the house for it.

As for the part about me sounding insane, I'll simply quote classic Quantum Leap:

A man is judged to be insane if he behaves outside the norms of society. But who is society? We are, plus the thousands upon thousands who work and live around us.

Spotify records that Nothing But Thieves has 2.7 million monthly listeners. Goodreads.com notes that Dreadnought has 7.7 thousand ratings. It's conceivable that of the people aware of both, every one of them believe that Roger Tozer is the asshole in the coming out plotline.

Society believes the same thing [Peebs] does, so either thousands [if not millions] of people in society are crazy, or [Peebs] is sane.

So you've made up a fictional character with a nonsensical scenario and are attempting to use that as a gotcha? That's incredibly strange, to say the least.

Oh, no, I'm not the one who wrote Dreadnought. And I assure you, it's quite sensical.

Society doesn't believe what you believe. 51% of Americans say changing one's gender is morally wrong.

For those of you watching at home, that still leaves 49% who don't think my existence is morally wrong. Anyhow, let's say I'm exaggerating the popularity of media I like (true) and literally everybody wants me dead (probably not true, but might be). Big whoop. But what is it about transitioning that makes it such a moral wrong? I'm not hurting anybody, am I?

Considering that "changing one's gender" is leading language because it presupposes that it is possible to change gender,

Try telling that to all the people who have changed gender (If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and is generally recognized as a duck, then it doesn't really matter if you think it's a goose, does it?).

Believing in transgenderism is a very radical minority belief that relies on the denial of biological reality, and Senator Cruz is right to call it out in elite institutions.

You can whine about "biological reality" all you like, but you don't look at a wooden chair and call it a tree, or call a bag of candy a cornfield, do you? Those are their "biological realities", much as mine indicates that I'm a dude. Besides, you want to know what was a very radical minority belief that relied on the denial of biological reality 150 years ago? That women should be allowed to vote.

3.Except it doesn't quack like a duck, because calling yourself a woman does not give you a womb and xx chromsones.

But humans don't use their reproductive organs and chromosomes in daily life, do they? So a woman without a womb or XX chromosomes could very well function as a woman in daily life, thereby making her quack like a duck.

Tree: Used to create woman chair

Corn: used to create candy

Man and woman: two separate categories

What's the difference?

Yeah. You know what was also a radical minority belief 150 years ago? The idea that setting children on fire is a good thing. Some uncommon beliefs are good. Some are bad. Transvestitism being unpopular 150 years ago does not make it right, just as setting children on fire being unpopular 150 years ago does not make that idea right either.

You're seriously comparing trans people being allowed to live to setting children on fire? Now who sounds insane?

Anyway, I wasn't talking about "transvestitism" being unpopular 150 years ago. I was talking about women having the right to vote being unpopular 150 years ago. The idea that trans people deserve to live, in 2172, will be viewed closer to how women having the right to vote is viewed now rather than how setting children on fire is viewed now. Trans people existing and women voting don't hurt people, setting children on fire does.

And you never answered my question: Why is transitioning immoral, besides the obvious "I don't ing care, I just think it's gross!"?

Being trans and saying that a man can be a woman is a misrepresentation of biology.

And yet, here I am, living day in and day out as a woman, despite my male genitalia and chromosomes. Maybe biology isn't always the most important thing?

If you want to wear a dress, I have no problem with that. You're still a man in a dress. If you think the world is obligated to learn your personal pronouns, you need to check your privilege.

Too bad I mostly wear leggings, making your assumption of my being a "man" in a dress incorrect. And no, the world is not obligated to learn my pronouns. They just pick them up through vibes.

I'm sorry that your experiencing a level of discomfort with your own body that makes you feel the need to pretend you're something you're not, but your discomfort does not change biological reality.

You're right, my discomfort with how I spent the first portion of my life does not change biological reality. But the estrogen pills I've been taking for four years now sure as hell do (not as much as I'd like, but they've changed it plenty, and they are, in fact, why most of my discomfort around the subject has been more existential than physical)! Anyway, I agree. Pretending I'm something I'm not is so 2018. I'm much happier now, in 2022, now that I don't have to do that.

If you have sexual relations with a man, that man is not straight by any message of logic or reason because you are also a man.

Good thing I'm more interested in sexual relations with women. Like your mom, for instance. She found that she, too, was not straight by any message of logic or reason because I am a woman.

Clearly you also identify as a junior highschooler.

I see I struck a nerve. But please, check my posting history; you will find that I have a strong record of condemning transageism. Just because my sense of humor is stupid doesn't mean I "identify" as anything but the grown-ass woman I am.

Just stay out of the girls' locker rooms, because in spite of your self delusion, you are a grown ass man and will be arrested for exposing yourself to minors.

Estrogen is a delusion.

The insinuation that men can have babies is false and has no place in preschool.  Indeed, any discussion of the trans issue whatsoever has no place in preschool. 

So, what, should the teacher be fired? Should he have to lie about his pregnancy?

It's not a topic for preschool.  And, yes, preschool teachers are rightly limited as to the topics they speak about, given the age of the children.  This is not a topic that preschool children need to address in a preschool setting.

These are preschool children, not little adults.

That doesn't answer my question. Should this teacher be fired for being transgender (and thus warping their little four-year-old brains) or not?
