Trans movement targets children.

The Trans Movement’s Disturbing Obsession with Children: Normalizing Pedophilia

Introduction

The trans movement’s obsession with children is becoming more explicit every day. From “all ages” drag shows to pornographic books in school libraries, the push to allow the castration and sterilization of minors is part of a broader strategy to normalize pedophilia. Recently, a group of Democrat legislators in Minnesota introduced a bill that would have removed language in Minnesota’s Human Rights Act that explicitly says pedophilia is not a “sexual orientation” as defined by state statute.

The Take Pride Act

The “Take Pride Act” was introduced earlier this year by state Rep. Leigh Finke, a man who began presenting as a woman in 2017. Since taking office, he has focused on making Minnesota a “sanctuary state” for the transing of children. Specifically, he has pushed legislation that ensures that minors from across the country can get experimental and irreversible surgeries in Minnesota. These surgeries include vaginoplasty, in which the penis is removed and a “neovagina” is constructed from colon tissue, or phalloplasty, in which a nonfunctioning “penis” is made by carving flesh from the forearm.

Removing Clarifying Language

The Democrat lawmakers wanted to remove language that specifically excludes pedophilia as a sexual orientation. The state’s Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, already defines the term so broadly as to be largely meaningless. According to Minnesota law, “sexual orientation” is “having or being perceived as having an emotional, physical, or sexual attachment to another person without regard to the sex of that person or having or being perceived as having an orientation for such attachment, or having or being perceived as having a self-image or identity not traditionally associated with one’s biological maleness or femaleness.”

The Transgender Movement’s Ideology

The transgender movement is animated by an ideology that enshrines personal volition and autonomy as the highest good. Finke and Minnesota Democrats disingenuously claimed they were just trying to clean up the language of the state’s Human Rights Act, which they claimed inappropriately tied pedophilia to sexual orientation. The unavoidable truth is that their efforts fit with a broader pattern on the left of sexualizing children and normalizing pedophilia as merely expressions of personal volition.

The Push to Normalize Pedophilia

The push to normalize pedophilia has been underway for some time now. As far back as 2013, the American Psychiatric Association briefly reclassified pedophilia as a sexual orientation in its fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5. Meanwhile, academic papers argued in ever more explicit terms that there are no legitimate ethical or moral objections to adult-child sex.

Conclusion

The normalization of pedophilia is a logical outgrowth of the nihilism inherent in the sexual revolution. The push to remove clarifying language that excludes pedophilia from the state’s impossibly vague definition of sexual orientation is just one example of the left’s broader pattern of sexualizing children and normalizing pedophilia. It’s time to recognize the danger of this movement and take action to protect our children.

articles. Now, we see the trans movement pushing to remove language that explicitly excludes pedophilia from the definition of sexual orientation. This is not just a fringe issue, it’s a real and present danger to our children.

The trans movement’s obsession with children is evident in the “all ages” drag shows, pornographic books in school libraries, and the push to allow the castration and sterilization of minors. It’s not just about proving that transgender people are safe around kids or grooming kids into becoming trans. It’s part of a broader strategy to normalize pedophilia.

Recently, a group of Democrat legislators in Minnesota, led by the state’s first transgender lawmaker, introduced a bill that would have removed language in Minnesota’s Human Rights Act that explicitly says pedophilia is not a “sexual orientation” as defined by state statute. By removing that language, the bill would have opened the door to widening the definition of sexual orientation to include pedophilia as a protected class alongside other minorities.

Thankfully, the effort failed, but the push by trans activists to change this language is instructive. It tells us exactly what the movement is all about and where it’s headed. The transgender movement is animated by the ideology of moral relativism, which enshrines personal volition and autonomy as the highest good. This leads to the normalization of pedophilia as merely an expression of personal volition.

We cannot dismiss the campaign to legalize pedophilia as fringy stuff that will get nowhere. It’s real, it’s here, and it’s gaining strength. We need to take the trans movement’s obsession with children seriously and protect our kids from their dangerous agenda. It’s time to think clearly about what we should do about it.

Is the Trans Movement Leading to the Normalization of Pedophilia?

Peer-Reviewed Papers and Mainstream Media

It’s been a long time coming, but the normalization of pedophilia is happening right before our eyes. It started with peer-reviewed papers arguing that there are no ethical or moral objections to adult-child sex. Then came the “brave” TED talks and articles in mainstream media outlets like Salon, Vice, and New York Magazine, attempting to present pedophilia as an unchosen sexual orientation.

The DSM-5 and “Virtuous Pedophiles”

The American Psychiatric Association briefly reclassified pedophilia as a sexual orientation in its fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5. Although they later corrected the error, the DSM-5 still distinguishes between pedophilia as a “paraphilia” and pedophilia as a “pedophilic disorder.” Meanwhile, the idea of the “virtuous pedophile” has been gaining traction, suggesting that it’s okay to be sexually attracted to children as long as one doesn’t act on it.

Drag Kids and “Gender-Affirming Care”

The normalization of pedophilia has also been seen in the rise of “drag kids” and the push for so-called “gender-affirming care.” TV shows like “Generation Drag” and articles in outlets like NBC News have celebrated child drag queens and their sexually suggestive performances. Meanwhile, protesters have rioted in state capitols to oppose bills that would ban the castration and mutilation of minors in the name of “gender-affirming care.”

The Inevitable Justification of Pedophilia

If we take the trans movement’s philosophy and imperatives seriously, we must acknowledge that the logic of the movement leads inexorably to a justification of pedophilia. If a minor can consent to irreversible surgeries and treatments, then the horizon of what they can consent to opens up considerably. The trans movement is coming for our children, and denying it is willful self-delusion.

What Can We Do?

It’s time to think clearly about what we should do to protect our children from the normalization of pedophilia. We must acknowledge the reality of the situation and take action to prevent the trans movement from justifying the sexualization of minors. We cannot let our children become victims of this dangerous ideology.
