Hi nsj, I agree with you that free speech is the biggest issue. And, like you, my Democrat friends seem to no longer value it. At the same time they claim the orange one is a "threat to Democracy" - & it is weird how they seem to have complete faith in government so long as the Democrats are in charge.

Plus, I don't really care about sports much at all - although I know many people like them and I understand unfairness. But - May I ask you to answer what a "transgender" is please? People around me seem to feel it is a sort of fancy new "gay" even though the ideology says sexual orientation does not matter. Or, they assume it's just a small number of the transexual men we knew of old who suffered from a sad but rare mental disorder.
I ask because today's Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans is about "When or if CPS comes knocking regarding not affirming your child's gender identity, here is some guidance." We now have a situation where kids are taught "anti-racism" and "gender" in schools, then they come down with a case of it, then they are affirmed behind the backs of their parents, then the state can take them. That is a major problem because in addition to Free Speech the state should not own your child.
# 1 rule: Don't answer the door for any strangers. Make it a rule in your house with your kids. Never leave your child home alone for any reason when dealing with gender identity issues.
Stay behind a closed door and ask, “Who is it?”
If they say it is CPS you can say "We don’t open the doors to strangers. How can I help you? Please put your business card on our doorstep and we will contact you later.”
If you do happen to open the door:
Pause and take a breathe so you do not say anything you will regret. The most important thing to do is remain calm. Speak to them in a calm and respectful manner. CPS is not allowed to enter your home without a court ordered warrant signed by a judge. You can ask why they are coming to your home. Ask them for identification and proof of credentials. They are not allowed to speak with your child. Assume that the worst can and will happen if you let them in your home. You have the right to postpone a visit. They have to make an appointment with you before they can enter your home. You may make arrangements for an in-home visit for another day. Only if needed and let them know you will be contacting a lawyer.
