Protecting Trans Youth

-

With all the anti-trans rhetoric I think the damage that these laws being passed It's actually doing two children is being overlooked by the radical right.

Anti-trans youth laws are not only discriminatory, but they are also harmful to kids. This type of legislation denies young people the autonomy to express their gender identity and receive crucial medical and mental health care. These laws exacerbate the already high rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation among trans youth, putting them at a greater risk of harm.

By prohibiting transgender youth from accessing gender-affirming treatments or participating in sports and other activities according to their gender identity, these laws send a message of rejection and invalidation. They also set a dangerous precedent for treating vulnerable populations with disrespect and disregard for their health and wellbeing.

It is imperative that we reject anti-trans youth laws and instead uplift the voices and needs of transgender and gender-nonconforming kids. The best way to support trans youth is to trust them and their families to make informed decisions in consultation with healthcare professionals, and to provide them with safe spaces to access healthcare and participate in society without fear of discrimination or harassment.

Let's work together to create a welcoming and inclusive society for all kids, regardless of their gender identity or expression. The health and happiness of our youth depend on it.

Ted Cruz freshman senator has made waves  on the right. He appeals to a large number of conservatives and is fully supported by the Tea Party. Recently it was revealed he may run for President of the United States. There is only one problem, he was born In Canada. This, unlike Barack Obama's birth brings up a real question of constitutionality of Cruz's potential candidacy. " No Person except a natural born Citizen , or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." from Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution  Article II of the U.S. Constitution says one must be a "natural Born" citizen in order to run for the office of President of the United States.

The Obama Marijuana Lie

The Obama administration seems to have failed in one campaign promise from both campaigns for sure. This one has gotten so far from his promise that it has proven to be a blatant lie. "I'm not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue," -Obama on Medical marijuana 2008 In both the 2008 and 2012 campaigns Mr. Obama claimed his administration would not waste the time or tax payer money to interfere with states allowed for the use of marijuana by its people. This is right opposite of what his administration has done. The DEA and other agencies had, according to the Rolling Stone, raided over 100 medical marijuana dispensaries in just his first 3 years in office.  Now comes the news that the DEA just raided at least 4 more marijuana stores in Seattle, Washington. Washington has state laws that allows for medical and recreational use of the drug. Yet this did not stop the Obama administration from using federal la...

Jake's Take: Duck Dynasty

Many are fuming on the left and right over the suspension of Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame by A&E. The right says it is PC gone too far and his rights to free speech were violated by A&E. Those on the left say his words went to far were offensive. Lets take a deeper look. In an interview with GQ Phil Robertson stated that he did not understand how a man could choose a mans anus over a woman's vagina. He went on to put homosexuality in the same list of sins like Murder, Bestiality and being a Terrorist. Folks on the left saw that as insinuating that gays are the same as terrorist and people who have sex with animals. Those on the right say he was just listing other sins that as he put it just were not logical. “It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s ju...
