No one should disagree with this.
Yeah, it's one thing to say "We don't like this and you're deliberately trying to normalise it for our kids", but another thing entirely to call it grooming, which is explicitly about sexualised behaviour.
As in making the existence and sight of trans people being members of society nothing of note. They are your neighbours, teachers, Coles workers, etc and it's perfectly normal.
No, no issue from me. I was drawing a distinction between making an ideological criticism of the purpose behind the storytime events and linking all trans people to pedophelia / grooming behaviour. Should have been clearer.
It SHOULD be normalised. These are the people in your neighbourhood. Just like that asian girl. This tall african bloke. That punk and this metalhead. The fat chick with the ironic No Fat Chicks t-shirt on. White people. Brown people. Female people. Male people. Those people in between. That lot who don't care to be defined.
Apart from one being overt, what's the difference in belief and intention?
Was this post intended to sound like you're taking aim at me as if they are my beliefs? I clearly stated they weren't about three posts later.
Sorry I don't really understand what you're asking me. Can you reframe the question?
Yeah I'd posted that reply without reading the further comments. Sorry about that, Shan!
What's the difference (in your view), between the two examples you've given?
If you meant they're both as bad as each other, with no distinguishing aspects, then I've misread and I'm sorry.
Ah got ya.
