If a trans and/or gay character in a story can turn your kids trans and/or gay, then why isn't literally every person cis and straight?
Most people are aware that sexuality is not a choice (I mean, who would choose to be LGBTQ+ in a society that treats them so badly?).
So, why would they accuse books of turning someone gay? Because it shows the reader that they don't have to hide who they are. That's it. They are afraid that their children won't suppress their sexuality and suffer in silence like a 'good' Christian, Muslim, or whatever religious person should.
So, I've heard all about potter "turning the kids to satinists", but what book is "turning the kids trans"?
I am looking for new books to read
I know a few books that turn people into complete assholes. They all talk of a magical man in the sky.
Malazan?
Why am I not a lowly worm flying an apple helicopter?
Well, that's simple. You're the helicopter. /j
All those Pern books, wasted.
you can not become a caterpillar but you can become trans though
I'm both those things tho. Books are dangerous.
Edit: thankfully i don't read that good
Can someone explain this person's comment to me? I can't read
Imagine dragon.
Spoiler
The book is about becoming a butterfly
After you lay off the junk food and eat a nice green leaf. And get a good night's sleep for once.
A good night's sleep? I don't know, sounds kind of gay.
If you told me this was something Andrew Tate has said in the past year, I wouldn't even question it.
Should've put two spoiler tags for that doozie
I am somehow not a space captain nor a magical girl.
Rooting for you to get there one day
But maybe a cat fighting wars? A dragon riding kid?
Honesty now I am curious if a book called "This book will make you kid trans" would sell as a gag gift.
Honestly how would it not
The BIble Turned My Kids Trans: The Musical
I am very hungry, but I don't think I could justify calling myself a caterpillar.
Why am I not a brown bear just chilling out looking at shit?
I need answers.
God I wish I was a toad with an adventurous frog friend who gently encourages me out of the house.
I'm pretty hungry, though.
My body's looking increasingly worm-like, too
I am in fact a stinky cheese man though. Who do I blame for that?
Seven nuclear missiles.
My kid cut off my arms to build a house after reading The Giving Tree. Checkmate, libs!
I can trace a lot of the major changes in my life to books. Read banned books.
On the other hand, I do feel like I connect to Mr. Bucket on a spiritual level.
I doubt they could even explain that book
