Speaker 1: An anti transgender mom was interviewed on CNN. It is extraordinarily disturbing and sad.
And I'm going to play it for you. And we're going to talk through some of the things that were said.
This is Darcy showing the chapter chair for Moms for Liberty in El Paso County, Colorado. Darcy
is very, very worried. She's worried that there are multiple forces at play that want to convince
our children to become gay or trans, which I feel like a moron even saying, because anybody
who understands being gay or trans realizes that this concept makes absolutely no sense, nor does
the nor do any of the parties mentioned have any interest in convincing people to be gay or trans.
However, what I would I do want to point to in this interview is the interviewer, Elle Reeve
asks, Why would teachers unions or BYD, why would they want to convince people to be gay or trans?
Darcy has an answer. It's an idiotic answer. It's an easily debunked answer. It's an answer that
makes no sense whatsoever unless you understand nothing about anything. But she has an answer,
so we're going to be able to analyze it for what it is. All right. Let's take a listen to this.
Speaker 2: Behind your parents back. I got your back. I mean, there's a clear
move to bring more of that into our school than it's just not the school's place. So
what I feel like you're strongly implying, and I would like to get your take on,
because I don't want to attribute something that you don't dig. But to me, it sounds like you're
saying there's some kind of high level coordinated effort to make more children trans and gay. Yeah.
Well, who's directing the teachers unions and our presidents and a lot of funding sources and.
Speaker 1: Which she doesn't mention. So that's teachers unions.
Our president, which at least she acknowledges Biden is the president, teachers unions, Biden and
a lot of funding sources want to make kids gay. Speaker 2: And trans unions are also
heavily backing the curriculum that we're bringing into school. Why would
they want more kids to be gay and straight? Because it breaks down the family unit,
which breaks down traditional conservative values. It breaks down a lot of things in this country.
It changes the way that people think. It changes the way that people handle politics. Of course,
there's no evidence of a coordinated plot to make kids trans. When I hear those thoughts about,
like some sort of concerted effort to make people gay, does it sound like a
conspiracy theory to you? It's not a conspiracy theory that this state, whether you're talking
about Colorado or the federal government, is taking a stronger and stronger hand in
public education in raising our kids. Speaker 1: There's a big jump from that
to what she's claiming. Speaker 2: So do I think that
for some reason, people want everyone to be gay? That's a mischaracterized translation of what I
think. I think that people will use, you know, the people that want to erode away at parental rights,
the left, the teachers unions. They'll use LGBTQ or whatever may be the case at the time.
Speaker 1: Those are. Yeah. So she's like, it's not that they want to make everyone gay or trans.
They just want to make a lot more people gay and trans. And the critical line from this is she
says that because it's a good question, right? Why would anyone want to do this? What's the political
goal in making more people, gay and trans kids, if you could do such a thing? And she says it
will break down the family unit and it will break down conservative values. Well, what's interesting
about I mean, think that through, right? If you have a child and the child is gay, it
only breaks down the family unit. If the parents reject the kid and kick them out of the house,
which sometimes happens, Right. When you actually think about what she's saying, you realize that's
only the case if we treat LGBT folks terribly, including LGBT kids. So let's go through a
couple of these these ideas here. First is the notion that teachers unions have adopted this
secret mission to undermine the family unit and conservative values by trying to convince children
to take on these identities. There's no evidence of that. But the suggestion would make you
believe or suggest to you that educators who go through all of the schooling that they go through
bachelor's degree, typically master's degree, they learn how to teach, how to impart knowledge, how
to educate young minds, all of these things, their actual plan all along was to be social engineers,
to get themselves into classrooms in order to convince children to be gay, specifically to
tear families apart by destroying the family unit through such social engineering. That's an insane
thing to accuse teachers of doing because you have to. When they vaguely say the teachers union,
you think of this monolith, this almost like a corporation of sorts, but then you think through
it. You go, Oh, okay. The third grade teacher who is now in debt because of the master's in
education that they have and they're underpaid and blah, blah, blah, they did all of it. Not because
they genuinely want to teach kids, but because they have this clandestine mission to turn kids
gay and trans. And that's how they want to shape the country through social engineering. It's an
outrageous thing to suggest. Then there's, well, Biden wants the same thing. I mean, if if anything
can be said about Joe Biden, it's that his focus on LGBT issues has not been overwhelming. I mean,
yes, he's done a couple events at the White House and welcomed people or whatever. He's treating
people with respect. But the idea that that's Biden's goal, but also the idea that that this
alleged obsessive focus on turning people, kids, gay and trans by Biden would gain him political
capital when it's known to be such a controversial issue thanks to right wingers, that doesn't make
any sense in any way. And then lastly, she throws in this and there are also funding sources that
want more gay and trans people. She doesn't name those sources, I think unless she does,
it's very hard to take it seriously. But you have to understand what's at this core. A very
benign and milquetoast sort of declaration that we should treat people with respect. We should
have basic inclusivity in schools when it comes to LGBT people. That's what's really going on. Like,
let's treat people with respect. In some places we have to figure out what to do about bathrooms
because it's like a tactical issue, A practical issue. Yes. And some there are some sports related
questions to figure out. But basically what we're saying is let's let everybody feel comfortable
and let's prevent people from feeling under threat based on their identity, because that's what
gives those folks. And as a result, society as a whole the greater chance to flourish and provide
everybody equal rights and opportunities under the law. That's that's all that's going on. And they
see that as an attack. They see it as an attack on, quote, conservative values. They see it as an
attack on the, quote, family unit. As Darcy shown says in this interview. That's what this is really
about, leveling the playing field so that it's not openly okay to discriminate against minority
groups they see as an attack. And that tells you a lot about what these folks are thinking.
