She did not say that the family moved to Asia to escape such lunacy. She said "My daughter and SIL are currently raising [their children] in Asia to keep them away from this lunacy." I assumed this to mean that her daughter and SIL had been living in Asia for some time (most likely because one or both of them had a job there) and that this lunacy (and, I would think, all the CRT and other lunacy in today's US schools) was a reason that they had decided not to return to the US at this time. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. My husband's job took us to several countries. Most expat kids did quite well in US or international schools.
As I would have thought obvious, the problems are systemic lunacy, stupidity, and disingenuousness, and the rush to destroy children in the name of protecting them is just the latest symptom.
And once the data is clear much of this was a mistake and irreversibly harmful, what will those currently pushing it do? THEY WILL LIE ABOUT IT, then find some new reason to attack psychologically healthy people in the name of an issue thry created with lies, half truths, willful distortions, and coordinated social violence that makes it potentially costly to oppose them, no matter how stupid the claims being made.
There is certainly room in the middle, but nit where abusive lunatics are concerned.
The comment was clear. Responding to an article re: trans kids. Your colleague commented that is why her family moved to Asia, to escape such lunacy.
Am out everyday, interacting with a wide variety of intelligent, well-read, thoughtful people.
I balance that out by interacting with people here.
Now....can someone find some numbers re: trans kids?
If they do you're going to say that you already knew & the person who gets the info for you just "wanted to." Make up your mind.
Lol.
Yes. I did already know that the number of kids who have undergone gender reassignment was statistically pretty non-existent.
It's 775. Not 10,000 as you probably thought it was.
See...if I had said it was 775 you would have hurled invective, claimed it was false, a "leftist" lie...blah....blah...blah...
So my mind has been made up from the beginning.
