@InternLon@hooptveast@JohnFugelsang Last response. If schools are secretly indoctrinating kids, why are only the parents UPSET that they have a trans kid talking about it? Parents fine with their trans kid don’t PRAISE schools for transitioning their kid. Upset parents just want to find someone to blame.
@InternLon@hooptveast@JohnFugelsang To what issue is he calling attention to? Because it seems like a nonexistent issue. And if it’s so confusing that no one has any idea what the actual “issue” hapoens to be he is calling attention to, that’s a poor communicator you’ve got as a leader.
@InternLon@hooptveast@JohnFugelsang So schools are pushing kids to get surgery or hormone therapy, and then hospitals or doctors are illegally DOING surgery or prescribing those to minors without parent permission? That has to be what’s happening if parents are clueless about boys coming home from school as girls.
@InternLon@HenryWilliams74@JohnFugelsang I can guarantee it’s not because California teachers are prescribing students hormone blockers and consenting for them to have surgery. That’s the entire point of this whole tangent you have decided to go on.
@InternLon@HenryWilliams74@JohnFugelsang How can a school staff member “enable” a minor child to have a surgical procedure or “encourage” them to take drugs that have to be prescribed by a doctor? Seriously. I can’t write scrips. I can’t consent for a student’s surgery. You’re being ridiculous.
@InternLon@HenryWilliams74@JohnFugelsang Well, we do know that when he says, “Not many people know…” about something that actually is common knowledge everyone with a middle school education knows that HE was too “dum” to know that basic fact until recently.
@InternLon@valjohn101@JohnFugelsang So, if he says it and it’s proven false…or he actually ends up doing the opposite of what he said or claimed he would do…you get to decide that wasn’t meant to be taken literally. That’s pretty convenient, isn’t it. 👍🏼😆
@kazama_mama@theosfolly@JohnFugelsang Maybe the reason why social transiting is nearly irreversible in many kids is because it’s really hard to reverse social transitioning in kids and adults who are actually trans? Lots of kids who socially transition- with or without parent permission - do so BECAUSE THEY’RE TRANS.
@InternLon@valjohn101@JohnFugelsang 2016: “We like Trump because he tells it like it is!!!”
2026: “We like Trump because we dont have to ever take him literally if we dont like what he’s saying or know what he said is wrong!”

@kazama_mama@theosfolly@JohnFugelsang Social transitioning at school is far from an irreversible decision for a kid to make. Remember that’s how this conversation started - the hyperbolic claim that schools are doing gender reassignment surgeries or prescribing hormone therapies.
@kazama_mama@theosfolly@JohnFugelsang Look into the many accounts of parents who thought they were being loving by shunning their trans kids or refusing to have a conversation about pronouns or pulling them out of school immediately. If a kid isn’t sure which kind of “loving parent” they have, that’s on the parent.
@kazama_mama@theosfolly@JohnFugelsang They fear the consequences of that conversation and of even asking those questions to parents. No one at school is advising kids who feel comfortable talking to their parents about this to keep it a secret.
@kazama_mama@theosfolly@JohnFugelsang Children don’t typically insist on keeping social gender transitions a secret from parents who they think will respectfully and thoughtfully help them explore their doubts and questions. These are kids who know they are crossing a line their parents will not allow to be crossed.
@InternLon@valjohn101@JohnFugelsang The entire point is that in the Venn Diagram of “Things That Aren’t Happening In Schools” all the things I listed fall in the exact same section. That’s what we’re talking about. Procedures that do or do not actually take place in schools.
@InternLon@JohnFugelsang “No one says….!!!” to “The point is…” in a near-record amount of time! Those goal posts have to be pretty heavy, yet you insist on moving them around anyway…😆
@InternLon@JohnFugelsang Other than, you know, the President? 😆
"Can you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, 'Jimmy, I love you so much, go have a good day in school,' and your son comes back with a brutal operation? Can you even imagine this?"
@InternLon@JohnFugelsang Yes. Tonsillectomies and piercing ears aren’t the same difficulty level. My bad.
The one thing they all have in common is that, despite what Trump claims, none of them are being done in America’s schools.
