What they're doing to children is some of the worst things you could imagine doing to a child. The children don't know better, and the adults the allow it all seem to basically be borderline insane/gay themselves too.
I'm from the San Francisco Bay area. I really do have this neighbor. And do I have concern for them? No. I believe that child has already been harmed and is too far gone. I have concern for all the children that can be saved still, and I have concern for all the people that know doing that to children is terrible but can't understand why they're being called bigots.
A father of a trans kid responded to you in the other subthread. By your own reckoning, this person is a monster and the type of person kids need to be saved from.
But instead of arguing with him, getting angry with him, expressing sorrow for his kid, or even acknowledging him and agreeing to disagree about their parenting methods, you keep talking about your imaginary neighbor.
You are getting so wrapped up in your talking points that you're forgetting to tell a believable story or have believable reactions.
Once again, how hard is it to believe someone from SF has this neighbor. And why would me having this neighbor or not even matter to my point really? Why would I make this up? And EVEN IF I did, would that matter since we know there are several of these kids in most bay area towns??
And no, I didn't respond to that guy. Because you're right, I do think he's doing/did a terrible thing. So instead of harping on him for something it's too late to even change, I let it go. Just like I do/did for my neighbor. I've helped that guy with his car twice over the last two years (tire rope plug, battery, small fluid checks), and didn't mention that evil stupid shit he did/allowed his kid to do or go through.
I rather argue this shit out with people that can change, not with the few specific people so deep you'll never change their mind.
