That's not what that says. "Given" means that because "political and religious discourse about transgenderism [sic] and homosexuality" exists it's okay to dehumanize trans people.
This is alarming because the US Government is currently implementing Project 2025, part of which culminates in declaring trans people pedophiles and sex predators and executing them. This week we've seen discussions between trans people about medical procedures slanderously portrayed as "sex chats" and "fetishes." The extreme level of dehumanization and villainization during a period of political purges and propaganda is an ominous sign of imminent moral collapse.
- elmerfud 2y agoNothing in the Facebook statement mentions the word dehumanize. You're simply inventing and adding a term in where none exists. It's talking about the view that transgenderism comes from a mental health disorder. Nothing in a belief, absent further context, that transgenderism is a mental health disorder is dehumanizing. Trying to link the two is so disingenuous that it's hard to take you seriously. Do you think when someone says anorexia or bulimia is a mental health disorder they have somehow dehumanized the person? Because in order to be logically consistent you would have to think labeling anything as a mental health disorder is dehumanizing.
