The Groomers

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it ultimately does. Recently my daughter sent me photos of a book for children called “My Body is Growing-A Guide for Ages 4 to 8” She also sent me a photo of a page of that book that explicitly describes a pre-pubescent boy named Toby fantasizing about his older “friend” Marco and what Sabrina (presumably his sister) has told him about her relationship with Marco. The contents of Toby’s imagination is the stuff found in porn.

This telling of Sabrina’s sexual relationship with Marco excites Toby and he wants to do the same with his female friend, Serafina. On the side bar are descriptions of four methods of birth control: birth control pills, an IUD, a cervical cap and foam pills that can be inserted.

This book for 4 to 8 year olds was sent to the writer of the Portland Oregon blog, Radical Centrist, by Ramona Bessinger of Rhode Island, who calls herself “teacher/mom.” I was surprised Bessinger is so vocal about what is going on in her school district.

As part of a “parent’s” Facebook group that has had teachers or other school district employees pass on questionable curriculum and books, I’ve seen the district employees always insist on anonymity for fear of reprisal. Once, I contacted a writer at the Washington Examiner and explained what was being shared and asked that the provider of the information be given anonymity. “Of course,” the writer said. When I went back to the provider they very clearly did not want to speak to a reporter, even off the record.

Stories break daily about bizarre sex saturated teacher conferences where participants are encouraged to engage their students in sexual exploration. One was recently exposed by Chris Rufo, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. The Trans Wellness Conference was sponsored by the Mazzoni Center. In looking over the Mazzoni Center website and publications, it focuses a good deal of its mission and materials on “youth,” defined as ages 13 to 24.

Among other things, the conference focused on sex toys and their use, as well as strap-on prosthetics. Additionally it featured a doctor who explained that he thinks there is no age too early to begin to transition.

This effort to normalize the sexualization of children is virtue signaled as a perfectly acceptable and healthy discussion. The Mazzoni Center doesn’t allow opposing viewpoints, which was made clear in 2017 when it cancelled a panel scheduled for its conference on the topic of de-transitioning. It might have been helpful to hear from actual people who were not happy they transitioned and traveled a long hard journey to reverse the medical and psychological damage their transition caused them.

At the Philadelphia conference, there was a physician who proudly reported that he had performed hundreds of “top surgeries.” Top surgeries are the removal of female breasts. Once removed, the young women and girls take a step into a permanent journey that cannot be remedied, not even by breast implants.

In her book Irreversible Damage, Wall Street Journal reporter Abigail Shrier lays out the phenomena mostly affecting adolescent girls and young college age women. A hysteria of sorts, given until very recently, transitioning was primarily a male phenomenon affecting less than 1% of the young male population.

The Economist says of Shrier’s book:

But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.”

There seems to be a deliberate collective “grooming” of children and young people toward all things LGBTQA. And nothing highlights that effort to groom more than Disney proudly announcing their new line of “pride” clothing for babies and toddlers. The corporation’s entrenchment in this social warfare, despite losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers to Disney+ and parents expressing that they are boycotting all things Disney, is not just a tone deaf ear by the executives but a full on Flipping the Bird at parents, children, institutions and tradition.

National Review describes the new clothing line as follows:

The new products include a variety of children’s attire and accessories — such as T-shirts, baby wear, bracelets, sweaters, socks, and girls’ backpacks — in the rainbow colors of the “Pride” flag, a symbol of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Many items mix the Pride flag’s color scheme with Mickey Mouse and other fictional Disney characters. They also include Pride-themed Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar designs — among the other entertainment brands owned by the company. The collection is available for purchase at retail Disney Stores, the ‘shopDisney’ e-commerce retailer, and all of Disney’s theme parks.

Disney says that this year all proceeds from the sale of this product line will go to organizations that support LGBTQA. A quick look at the descriptions of these organizations once again confirms that these are organizations that focus on children and youth.

I never thought I’d see the day when Disney would throw itself into the full on grooming of children.

I do know that these people at Disney and Mazzoni and the various school districts and organizations absolutely despise the term groomer. But as my mother would say when I was growing up “Call a spade a spade.” Which was a colloquial way of saying “tell the truth.” And that’s exactly what we must do. We must be willing to tell school districts, teachers, doctors, politicians and anyone else who engages this way that they are “Groomers”. We must say straight to their face “You are Grooming”.

We know that the people who push this agenda are in the super minority and many are lemmings just following along with what they think is a fresh, new, popular trend. It’s time to make it unpopular and untrendy. It’s time to level some shame on the adults in the room who see children as objects to be manipulated. Adults who take a certain prurient pleasure and gratify their sick minds by encouraging children to mimic what should be adult characteristics and thought processes.

And it can’t be just straight people leveling that charge, we must be fully joined with a vast majority of the LGBTQA community who also sees this behavior as reprehensible.
