Calling on the Religious Left to Protect Trans Kids 2023-04-21T15:31:15-05:00 Julie Nichols
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
Forgive me for my anger, but I am not mincing words now. I’m calling on all people, especially the collective Religious Left, to fight for the lives, health, and well-being of transgender youth, especially in states like Texas, Florida, and Ohio. I am also calling on the Religious Left to put the Religious Right in their place which should be in a position of sitting down and shutting up for the first time in American history. The Religious Right is not the majority of Americans or Christians.
Again, I will define the Religious Right as a small group of mostly white Christians who are bedfellows with the Republican party. They seek to control others and win elections by any unethical means possible no matter how deadly. Yet, they call themselves, “Pro-life Christians.” The Religious Right thinks they are higher and mightier than everyone who is not white, straight, Republican, neurotypical, “Christian,” and healthy. The Religious Right is terrorizing these innocent families and their transgender children because they deny science, and they expect everyone else to deny science. They are largely responsible for the inflated number of COVID deaths because they refused to get vaccinated or wear masks as acts of decency and basic humanity. The Religious Right wants to declare “a pure fascist” America just like Hitler.
Right now, many parents of transgender children from all over the country are moving to other states and even out of the country because of anti-trans laws that we all can see in plain view. Many who do not understand science are politically weaponizing legislation to harm and endanger LGBTQIA+ youth and their families, especially transgender youth. These youth are being denied potentially life-saving medical care. These families are not safe in their own communities and home states because they are political refugees.
I believe that God created science, and it has deadly consequences for not honoring it, especially in the case of transgender youth. The Religious Right thinks it’s their job to tell others which books to read, which medications to take, which words others are allowed to say, what others are allowed to learn, what medical decisions others are allowed to make, and who others are allowed to marry or love. Domination, colonization, weaponization, deprivation, deportation, starvation, and extinction of who Jesus called “The Least of These” are their values when they should be doing unto others as they would have done unto themselves.
All Lefty Religious, please stand behind and protect trans youth and their families because they are innocently trying to exist, follow science, follow their doctors’ orders, and take care of their families. Get behind them and let them know that God is on their side. These whitewash tomb Pharisees think they are higher and mightier than everyone else.
