Sometimes I have doubts about whether this forum is just a reactionary echo chamber. Are we all going insane? Are we just bigots wearing tinfoil hats? I admit to having some personal reservations at times.
However, there are other times when I am reminded of the cultural battle being waged against western civilisation.
OK so you don't give a shit about what transsexuals do. Neither do I.
Who cares if someone wants to chop off his dick, right? That used to be my argument too.
But that's not what this is about. Now these people are coming for your children too. Nobody is safe from this.
Case in point:
Today, out of nowhere I get this "recommendation" from Amazon despite never browsing books related to transgender issues.
Is it a coincidence that this book was recommended to me? I think not.
Turns out this is Amazon's "Book of the month" for October 2015. What the hell is a supposedly family-friendly corporation doing promoting this kind of evil propaganda?
Using the word "evil" may sound melodramatic, but when it comes to the raising and educating of innocent children there is no other way of putting it. As we all know, children are blank slates who are extremely vulnerable to outside influence. Books like these are encouraging parents to willingly engage in child abuse.
It's a fine line between raising awareness and inadvertently promoting this book, but we can read it and submit some honest reviews once it becomes available.
Edit: The author is a science reporter? Now that is just too ironic.

The inspiring true story of a transgender girl, her identical twin brother, and an ordinary American family’s extraordinary journey to understand, nurture, and celebrate the uniqueness in us all, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning science reporter for The Washington Post
Becoming Nicole chronicles a journey that could have destroyed a family but instead brought it closer together. It’s the story of a mother whose instincts told her that her child needed love and acceptance, not ostracism and disapproval; of a Republican, Air Force veteran father who overcame his deepest fears to become a vocal advocate for trans rights; of a loving brother who bravely stuck up for his twin sister; and of a town forced to confront its prejudices, a school compelled to rewrite its rules, and a courageous community of transgender activists determined to make their voices heard. Ultimately, Becoming Nicole is the story of an extraordinary girl who fought for the right to be herself.
“Becoming Nicole is a miracle. It’s the story of a family struggling with—and embracing—a transgender child. But more than that, it’s about accepting one another, and ourselves, in all our messy, contradictory glory. The Maines family is as American as they come. In the journey they take toward authenticity and justice, we see a model for the future of our country, a future in which all of us—mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters—somehow find the courage, and the love, to become our best selves.”
