Marjorie Taylor Greene rolls out "Protect Children's Innocence Act"

Source: Salon

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene launched her new "Protect Children's Innocence Act" on Friday which details that anyone who "knowingly performs any gender-affirming care on a minor" is guilty of a class C felony, carrying a punishment of 10 to 25 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000, per a statement given by Greene's office.

In addition to pressing a criminalizing thumb on those providing gender-affirming care to trans youth, the new Act also looks to "prohibit using federal funds for gender-affirming health care, including in Affordable Healthcare Act plans and bar colleges and universities from offering instruction on gender-affirming care."

Expressing her thoughts on what prompted the Act during an appearance on the Fox News show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Thursday, Greene said "When it comes to gender-affirming care, which is really child abuse, this is actually an assault and it's child abuse . . . This practice should never happen. It's so disgusting and appalling … this needs to be illegal."

Following her appearance on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Greene tweeted out the official announcement for her legislation.

You know I really miss small government conservatives.

Remember those guys who thought the power of the national government was strictly limited by the constitution and you couldn't just pass a law to do whatever the hell popped into your head because it isn't allowed.

Is there anything in the constitution which would give the federal government the power to prohibit colleges and universities from having college courses in whatever field of study they want or which would stop them from being able to teach what they want? No.

So for small government conservatives, that should be the end of it.

But we don't have those people anymore, at least not in the Republican party....

... this is within their reach... a few more Senate seats... It is more interference in personal lives. Parents and doctors seeking surgical solutions do not need "advice" or mandates from MTG. A child with gender-related concerns is not just going through a "sissy" or "tomboy" stage. There are sometimes genital anomalies. MTG can only make difficult decisions more miserable.

I have to think that in the vast majority of cases if a minor has gender-affirming surgery, it's only breast implants, and they're encouraged to wait until they're a bit older to make irreversible decisions with body parts, but maybe I'm behind the times

Fuck MTG either way.

Sometimes they are prescribed hormone blockers to stop trans boys from menstruating or trans girls from growing facial hair and other secondary sexual characteristics.

The effects are completely reversible if they stop taking the meds.

what an f___g joke.

If MTG believes that children do not have a sexual thought in their heads until an evil adult ("groomer" ) put it there, I could give her a lesson.

If there was a 5,000 foot hill with the only Playboy magazine around, I would have climbed it. If Playboy wasn't around, I would have dug a 20 foot hole for a lingerie advertisement in a box at the bottom. Whatever obstacle people like MTG would have put in my way, I would have found a way around it. Not because of some groomer but because of a human sex drive I now know is not exclusive to hetero cis males like myself. Which didn't just magically kick in at an artificially delineated age, but happened when it happened.

I'd say I've had it with you and your goddamned shit, but I'm well past "I've had it." Good grief... How much are we in the trans community supposed to take from this walking scarecrow and her straw-stuffed skull?!

It never stops with her and the fucking Republican Death Squad! These sons of bitches want to talk about "freedom" while constantly threatening mine and the safety and well-being of others like me?! Fuck you, MTG. Fuck you, QOP. Fuck your goddamned "party" of "Our platform is to bring misery and suffering and death to innocent people!"

"Protect children's innocence"?! Coming from this fucking hag who is parading around the country with Groomer Gaetz?! And you know what, you fucking demon?! Trans kids are kids too. They need protection - FROM YOU AND YOUR FUCKING GANG OF NAZIS. You and your fucking 4chan party of snowflakes and bullies have done nothing but terrorize people like me all year. I'm beyond sick of it. I'm beyond sick of the shit coming out of your anus mouth. I'm beyond sick of your face. I'm beyond sick of your voice. I'm beyond sick of you being in office.

At least one of her colleagues considers her to be nothing but a "Twitter troll." I know. Said representative said as much to me two months ago. I get the feeling they're not the only one who feels that way.

If it's not bills like this, it's openly harassing fellow members of Congress. At what damned point does it stop? When does she get censured? When does someone shove a ballgag in her mouth? At what point does someone like Nancy Pelosi or AOC slap the stupid and evil out of her? Wait... That's a lot of stupid and evil. They better pack a lunch for that...

Anyone who thinks this reply is over the top? This shit caused me to have a 3 hour panic attack on Friday, and spend the entire weekend upset and sick. Because as far as I'm concerned, this is a threat. I don't give a shit if it goes nowhere. I don't give a shit if this never sees the floor. This is still a fucking threat from some psycho bitch who thinks it's her job to hurt people because their existence makes her melt like the snowflake she is.
