The hill we will die on -

They own the Democrat Party.

 American Thinker  . . ."Then came the transsexual movement, complete with "drag-queen story hours" for young children.  Some of those children have become the victims of surgical mutilation.  This has occurred in the context of politicians and educators telling us we have no right to know what our children are being taught in school.  We are being threatened with loss of custody of our children if we do not "affirm" their "gender identity," if that identity does not conform with their biological sex.  Recently, during a so-called "pride march," the chanting marchers sang out, "We're coming for your children."  Even if this was chanted supposedly in jest, it was about as funny as joking that they would rape our mothers.  I doubt that all those who chanted this did so merely as a taunt.

"The trans activists claim that their survival is threatened by those of us who oppose their extremism.  As more than one such activist has whined, we wish only to be left alone.  After all, what do we care whom they love, or how?

"But we have reached an inflection point, one in which we can no longer be dissuaded by such whining.  We can no longer tolerate their intolerance.  We need no longer attempt to reason with their unreason.

"As more than one person has commented on this site and others, using various words to express the thought: the trans activists have gone too far this time.  They have underestimated the parenting instinct that most of us have, the instinct to protect our children.  We have become like the sleeping giant, but not merely roused from slumber by an offense.  We have been awakened by a burning house.  We have to get the children to safety, even if at the cost of our own lives." . . .
