Can I sue? 4-5-23 The Village [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-04-05 Perhaps it’s a class action suit & and all registered Dems can join in— From 60 Minutes Transcript link below (Didn’t watch. Did read transcript.) [Marjorie Taylor] Greene complains that the news media harp on things she did in the past, like, as in this video, chasing after a survivor of the Parkland, Florida school shooting. And things she says that are over the top, like — Stahl: The Democrats are a party of pedophiles. Greene: I would definitely say so. They support grooming children. Stahl: They are not pedophiles. Why would you say that? Greene: Democrats, Democrats support, even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries. Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children. Stahl: Wow. OK. But my question really is, can't you fight for what you believe in without all that name-calling and without the personal attacks? Greene: Well, I would ask the same question to the other side, because all they've done is call me names and insult me non-stop since I've been here, Lesley. They call me racist. They call me sen, anti-Semitic, which is not true. I'm not calling anyone names. I'm calling out the truth basically- Stahl: Pedophile? Greene: Pedophi-- call it what it is. From 60 Minutes Transcript link www.cbsnews.com/... Pedophilia— The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) defines pedophilia as recurrent sexually arousing fantasies, impulsive desires, or behaviors involving sexual acts with a child and that occur over a period of at least six months. In most cases, the pedophile is at least sixteen years of age and at least five years older than the child. Those who suffer from pedophilia have a compulsion to abuse young children. neuroanthropology.net/... Pedophilia is a real condition & those who act on it are criminals who do great harm. It is not a random insult, Marge, that you throw at people that you don’t like. For example, if someone cuts me off in traffic— It is appropriate to think that driver is an asshole. It is inappropriate to call that person a pedophile. Greene says people call her a liar and a Nazi all the time. Hmmm. Again, falsely accusing someone of being a pedophile, because they said something hurtful (though true), is inappropriate. Greene doesn’t know the difference between age appropriate discussions of gender, discussions of gender identity, and sex education. As most parents, except Greene, understand, you start with the questions that kids already have and maintain a environment where asking questions is okay. 1st take Greene: “Democrats support, even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.” No. This is false. Democrats do not support children being sexualized. People who run child beauty pageants seem to do that all by themselves. Child Beauty Contest- The real grooming world Botox for children? Princess by Proxy? Toddlers & Tiaras? 2nd take Greene: “Democrats support, even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.” I suspect that Greene and other MAGAs really fear their self-created nightmare that herds of woke Dems want to break into their homes at night and perform unauthorized and unwanted transgender surgery on them, their spouses, and all of their children. They seem to think we want to cut off their men’s penises & put them on women. Not so. Good news, Marge. We don’t want to do that at all. Feel better now? But we do believe in choice & individuals making their own medical decisions. Transgender and Nonbinary Identities Many people believe there are only two genders: man and woman. This is known as the gender binary. But that’s not how every person experiences their own gender. If your gender is different from the “male” or “female” label on your original birth certificate, you may identify as transgender. If your gender doesn’t fit into the gender binary, you may identify as nonbinary. What's gender identity? Gender identity describes the inner experience of your own gender — whether you feel like a man, woman, genderqueer, agender, nonbinary, or another identity. Remember: There’s no right or wrong way to look like a woman, man, or nonbinary person. www.plannedparenthood.org/… Also see GLAAD’s Transgender FAQ www.glaad.org/... Zero empathy is a GOP hallmark. If they don’t experience something directly, then: It’s not real; It’s not important; or It’s threatening & must be stopped Also, I think we all saw how quickly Marge connected pedophilia & transgenderism. There are many general characteristics of a pedophile given here: mentalhealthcenter.com/… Being a Democrat, or transgender, or Joe Biden or me is not one of them. I may not be LGBTIQA+ , but I value those who are and will not see them thrown under the bus. I want to call out all of the GOPers, including MTG, for accusing me of truly reprehensible criminal behavior, being a pedophile, because I have different political opinions than they do. Where do I sign up to do that? x @RepMTG now this is the definition of a pedophile https://t.co/eRAPzvCTjY — Judith🌈☮️ (@JudithinDayton) April 4, 2023 [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/story/2023/4/5/2161924/-I-m-a-registered-Democrat-MTG-called-me-a-pedophile-on-CBS-Can-I-sue-4-5-23-The-Village Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
