Demons Among Us

H/t MacKay


History teaches us that the capacity to demonize 'the other' seems almost limitless. Whether it be the Jew, the Black, the Roma, the Indigenous, or any other group, there will always be those who find people unfit to be members of society. Hence the role of propaganda, allegations of the darkest of atrocities and depravities, the subtext being obvious.  After all, if they are not really human, what's to be upset about if we have to wipe them out?

For whatever reason, transgender issues seem to currently feed the bloodlust of the depraved. As a previous post pointed out, Montana recently ejected a transgender legislator for indecorous behaviour, her outrage over an edict under consideration to ban any transgender care to minors her 'crime'.

Not to be outdone, Missouri has upped the ante.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey put forward emergency rules placing barriers to gender-affirming care for minors and adults. The rules are set to go into effect later this week, although opponents filed a petition Monday evening seeking an order to temporarily block implementation.

Bailey says the rules are meant to keep both parents of transgender youth and transgender adults more informed before receiving gender-affirming care, describing them as an "innovative approach" for people to "have all the information necessary to make good decisions."

As always, the devil is in the details (not 'the other'), so feel free to read the whole story in the above link. However, both the reality and the toll of such diseased politics are made abundantly clear in the following video:


Life can be very difficult in and of itself. Is purposely increasing the hardships people bear really something anyone should be proud of?
