| Illinois Purges Social Workers And Foster Families Who Don’t ‘Facilitate’ Transgenderism |
| 2017-06-01 |
| [THEFEDERALIST] The science-deniers are running the LGBTQ show over at the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), and dissenters will not be tolerated. The department’s new "enhanced" policies promoting the "well-being of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) children and youth in the Department’s care" ratchet in one direction only: encouraging children towards LGBTQ identities. DCFS has drawn a rainbow-colored line in the sand, announcing it "will not tolerate exposing LGBTQ children and youth to staff/providers who are not supportive of children and youths’ right to self-determination of sexual/gender identity." Let’s repeat that: the state of Illinois will not tolerate "exposing" the vulnerable children in its care to people who believe human beings are either male or female and cannot "become" the other. No matter that sexual difference is a scientific fact, or that billions of sane people across the world acknowledge it. Illinois has decreed its own "truth" about the human person and served notice that it will muzzle the speech and religious beliefs of employees, caregivers, professionals, and cooperating agencies who think otherwise. |

| #5 Those that continually yammer on about transgender bullshit are not merely "misguided", they are *evil*. Yes, its tragic that a handful (less than 1 percent of our population) may have misgivings about the genetical hand they were dealt at birth. But that's no justification at all to HAMMER this "gender is whatever you say it is" agenda into minds too young to know better (and into adults too poorly educated to sift thru the bullshit they're being handed). |

| #1 Used to be that was abuse, especially in minors who are not developed enough mentally to make some decisions. Allowing and encouraging a mental illness that involves self mutilation is abuse. |
