  1. https://apnews.com/article/transgender-athlete-utah-school-board-member-governor-0aefa9baeb3cb5787687c8db02bf6241 The governor says this is embarrassing to the state, yet he just recently signed a bathroom law that will only encourage such behavior from people who think they can tell who is transgender or not. What a joke! It was painfully obvious that the mindset behind this law and Cline's comments was going to end up hurting cis girls and women as well as the intended target of bullying trans people. Anyone could have seen this coming. If the Church wants to take protecting children seriously they will need to look at the rise of conspiracy theorists and far-right extremism in the ranks.
  2. This is disgusting. No one should have a right to knowing about the details of another person's body, full stop. Especially a minor! Cline's comments on their face are gross regardless of the facts. Makes all the hypocrisy of wailing about protecting kids from queer people super obvious.
  3. Tara Westover's story, the Daybells, and now this. I am certain there is more like this going on in certain circles of the LDS homeschooler / energy healing / conspiracy theorists circles. It makes me so sad to think of the pain kids are going through here in our own community. This is personal to me. A family I am connected to is involved in this community. They also used cayenne pepper on kids' wounds. I know that their kids aren't doing very well, but so far I'm not sure that CPS or their bishop is taking it very seriously. I won't comment on them further, but I really hope people can realize this is a pattern (perhaps not always to the extent in this story, but still very bad), not isolated cases of crazy. It is a disease festering under the surface of the LDS community.
