He saw there was a book that said racism is bad, and to counteract this evil propaganda, he released a book about how being transgender is bad.

And yet the book in question isn't even about race.

Depending how that story is framed it seems like the takeaway could just as easily be that other people are jerks who won't let you do what you want to

Yeah true lol, especially with how happy the elephant looks on the cover when its flying.

Trans people are real and it's ok if children know LGBT people exist.

There's nothing hateful about teaching children to embrace the way they're born naturally. In fact, isn't that kind of a tentpole to modern liberalism?

You realize it was the estate of Dr. Seuss that removed the books voluntarily, right? There was no progressive boycott or outrage over them.

They *all* know it. They're just full of shit.

Glad I'm not triggered by Trans people existing. That sounds like an exhausting and hate filled life.

It can't be immoral to tell children it's ok to be the way they naturally are if it's also ok to tell them it's ok they shouldn't be satisfied with the way they're born. This is the part of the conservative argument that seems to be totally lost on liberals.

First, would you like to retry the bolded part? It's a grammatic nightmare.

Secondly, what element of that is a contradiction? I'm guessing what you meant to say is "It's okay to be who you are" and "it's okay to not be satisfied with you are" are contradictory?

Conservatives aren't very literate. You're wasting your time.

Because the argument is awful.
If I tell you to "be satisfied with what you have" I'm not also telling you "Don't ever try to improve yourself".

Pretending to be confused isn't going to make the argument go away.

Hey little buddy, have you tried going back to your telegram safe space?

"If it's also okay to tell them... it's okay... they shouldn't be satisfied"

I feel this is where I'm confused on the sentence, the middle "it's okay". I'm not pretending. I'm literally asking you to word your sentence in a way that makes sense.

Did you mean to say "if it's also okay to tell them that they shouldn't be satisfied"?

Kids publishers: Racism is bad
This fuckwit: Allow me to counter that point...

Do y'all know how to read the english language or are y'all feigning to get sympathy from me? Because it isn't working.

Fair, next. Free country.

The conservative argument isn't lost on anyone, it's just complete fucking nonsense.

Plus that line of thinking doesn't even apply here to begin with. It would be one thing if people on the left were pushing a narrative that you should be trans, but they're not. Only that it's okay if someone is trans, and that who they are should be respected.

However, the message of this book is very clear. An elephant is not a bird. That goes beyond saying "it's fine if you're born cishet". It also has to punch down and say "if you're born with a man's body, you'll never actually be a woman" and vice versa.

---

I feel you're not going to get your point across if you keep insulting people trying to understand your argument.

Or is that only a requirement when it comes to liberals coddling conservatives?

Remember when Fox News said The Lorax and Studio Ghibli were liberal indoctrination for children?

and they said Mr Rogers was an evil man who taught kids to be entitled because he said every kid is special

The problem with the book is that even as a trans allegory it fails.

The elephant doesn't think he's a bird. The elephant is told by a third party (named "Culture" because creativity. What, was having a character named "Liberal" too on-the-nose?) that he *must* be a bird, on the incredibly flimsy premise that he can sing. Then forced the elephant to pretend he's a bird because sure why not.

That's... not how transgenderism works. Nobody (in their right mind anyway) would look at a boy who has more 'feminine' interests and say "You're really a girl" and then force them to pretend to be one, regardless of how that person feels about it.

>__>

EDIT: oh yeah, there's also the fact that not all birds can sing, either. Nobody really thinks crows sound beautiful, do they? Does that make them not birds?

Of course that's not how transgenderism works but... it IS how right wingers THINK it works. They think that the only reason "transgenders" exist is because of things like liberal media subverting gender and liberal parents brainwashing their kids to think they're the opposite gender so they can virtue signal how "woke" they are.

---

Also I don't get why some people are like "conservatives should have their own books too".

Like do we not forget every religious book that came out in the last 100 years?

Most of the Little Golden Books, too.

---

Conservatives are losing the alleged "culture war" and now they're trying to recruit the next generation of assholes. Incredibly sad that young minds are being corrupted by hate, but luckily their views are dying out.

didn't Conservatives try getting rid of PBS at one point?

Yes. Sesame Street has been accused of being liberal propaganda for years. The most recent controversy involves them being accused of being anti white for teaching kids that racism still exists.

conservatives dont have a problem teaching kids that racism exists
they have a problem with people teaching children that its a bad thing
remember to a conservative things like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia are all noble qualities

they want people they can mistreat and abuse
