Shit. Here I was thinking we as a society had reached a spot where we knew that gender expression and identity wasn't a choice?

But at least one of these knuckleheads is saying a curriculum is manipulating innocent children into... What. Deciding to identify as a different gender? Because it's... Fun? Or something?

I guess the whole point of social conservatism is being afraid of new ways of thinking but it'd be really cool if they could come up with better lines of reasoning. I'm so bored of their ass backward whining.

Conservatism is the art of saying that sure, every other historical conservative position was wrong but thiiiiiiiiiis time things need to stop.

Women's suffrage, civil rights, gay marriage, now gender identity.

Listening to some of these nutters they have been convinced their children are going to be forced to have sex change operations but their teachers and they won't be allowed to stop it or even be informed if these procedures.

It seems the Anti-Vac Convoy crowd has just moved onto the next hot button subject to stay in the social media circus of importance.

For Surrey-Green Timbers, the threshold for success is 11,811 signatures.

Can their be a petition for cancelling the signatures of the nutters?
