Notable transgender advocate was a pedophile apologist

[IndependantAce]

Psychologist John Money was notable as one of the leading proponents of the theory that gender is merely a "construct"; as well as his experiment involving a boy named David Reimer (who he recommended be raised as a girl due to his penis being lost in a botched circumcision.

Interestingly Money was also an apologist for sexual relations between adults and boys as young as 10 years old.


“If I were to see the case of a boy aged 10 or 11 who’s intensely erotically attracted towards a man in his twenties or thirties, if the relationship is totally mutual, and the bonding is genuinely totally mutual… then I would not call it pathological in any way.” - John Money

This leads one to the view that the transgender advocacy camp and NAMBLA camp are not far off, but rather just two symptoms of the same deviancy.

Jeez. That's as bad as the RWNJ heroes, Nugent, Duggar, Mike Huckabee - ad nauseum.

OP - Did you really think that only RWNJ fundies are pedos?

Mom sues school district to stop transgender bathroom use
May 18, 2016 — A Florida parent is suing to stop schools from allowing students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identities.

The Florida Times-Union (Duval Schools sued over gender-identity bathroom policy) reports that Wryshona Isaac filed the lawsuit against Duval County Public Schools on Tuesday. Isaac is the mother of four students who attend the schools.

The suit alleges the district is not providing a safe environment for Isaac's children.

School administrators announced Friday that they would comply with a directive from President Barack Obama's administration that public schools must permit transgender students to use facilities consistent with their chosen gender identity. A day earlier, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a civil rights complaint against Marion County Public Schools for limiting students to using bathrooms corresponding to their gender at birth.

11 states sue over Obama's school transgender directive
May 25, 2016 — Texas and 10 other states are suing the Obama administration over its directive to U.S. public schools to let transgender students use the bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity.

The lawsuit announced Wednesday includes Oklahoma, Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Maine, Arizona, Louisiana, Utah and Georgia. The challenge, which asks a judge to declare the directive unlawful, follows a federal directive to U.S. schools this month to let transgender students use the bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. The Obama administration has "conspired to turn workplace and educational settings across the country into laboratories for a massive social experiment, flouting the democratic process, and running roughshod over commonsense policies protecting children and basic privacy rights," the lawsuit reads.

Many of the conservative states involved had previously vowed defiance, calling the guidance a threat to safety while being accused of discrimination by supporters of transgender rights. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has said "there is no room in our schools for discrimination." Texas' lieutenant governor has previously said the state is willing to forfeit $10 billion in federal education dollars rather than comply. The directive from the U.S. Justice and Education Departments represents an escalation in the fast-moving dispute over what is becoming the civil rights issue of the day.

Pressed about whether he knew of any instances in which a child's safety had been threatened because of transgender bathroom rights, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said "there's not a lot of research." He said he his office has heard from concerned parents, but didn't say how many, and said he did not meet with any parents of transgender students before filing the lawsuit. Two school districts joined the states in the lawsuit: one is the tiny Harrold school district in North Texas, which has 100 students and passed a policy this week requiring students to use the bathroom based on the gender on their birth certificate. Superintendent David Thweatt said his schools have no transgender students to his knowledge but defended the district taking on the federal government. "It's not moot because it was thrusted upon us by the federal government," Thweatt said, "or we were going to risk losing our federal funding."

The question of whether federal civil rights law protects transgender people has not been definitively answered by the courts and may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. But schools that refuse to comply could be hit with civil rights lawsuits from the government and could face a cutoff of federal aid to education. The guidance was issued after the Justice Department and North Carolina sued each other overs a state law that requires transgender people to use the public bathroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate. The law applies to schools and many other places. Supporters say such measures are needed to protect women and children from sexual predators, while the Justice Department and others argue the threat is practically nonexistent and the law discriminatory.
