It would seem two-spirit people is not an ancient construct but a mordern one.

The term maybe not the concept.
And by the way these are natives saying it themselves as oral history handed down. I have no reason to doubt them

😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆

Coco, pick up a Bible in English or Igbo and read.

God's displeasure with the alphabet people are well documented. I did not define them as the enemies of God, God did by Himself.

the same God that told you to leave judgment to him. Let’s cherry pick

You still have not answered how your kids would know they are trans. How? Enlighten me? Your girl says 'I feel like a boy' and you encourage her? If she feels like a cat or a goat, does she get same support or just as a boy?

I know you mean to sound silly but I’ll humor you anyway. If a child comes out to you and says they are gay, lesbian, trans etc. the way you show the child acceptance and not condemnation is by
A) still show them love
B) still let them know they are a valuable person to you and the community regardless of the differences.
C) if they are going through emotional distress (which is common), you can be a listening ear. Provide advice. Help them stay safe. Protect them from those who seek to harm them physically or otherwise. Don’t put them outside especially young kids because you don’t support the lifestyle. Some parents leave the kids to be homeless in the streets thus exposed to more danger. you would understand these points if your hypocrisy wasn’t clouding your judgement.

If you are truly a Christian mother and any of your child (even if she is 50yrs) tells you she is trans, you would go on your knees to God in prayers to destroy the evil seed that the devil has planted and adjust your lifestyle to bring that Child back to Christ. That is what a Christian would do.

Nothing I listed above contradicts praying for your child. Because what if after praying and they are still LGBTQ, then what? Kids get sent off to prayer camps and conversion camps run by churches all the time and they come back the same or worse. Then what?

To be honest, not really interested in how you plan/train your kids. Just wanted to point out your confusion as regards Christianity. Christianity has some hard rules: hatred for the sin of LGBTQ~ is one of it. Just how you just see your children stealing or lying or committing adultery and support them in the guise of 'liberty'. Christianity is not a liberal religion; it has hard dos and don't.

Christianity is not begging for membership; if you cannot align with simple commandments in the Bible, don't bother. Christian means Christ-like.

Madam Christian overseer. Like I said, cry me a river. I hope it pisses you off more and more. 😌☺️☺️
If you know what Christ-like means, you would know there’s absolutely nothing about your hypocritical self righteous persona that pleases Jesus in any way shape or form.


Maybe this article below will help you. But I doubt it. There’s nothing else in Christianity for you except to feel better than “those sinners”. If you don’t have that then you have nothing and I doubt even the fear of displeasing God will be enough to make you change. But hey get your reward now. You know what will happen to Pharisees like you in the end

One of the key concepts involved in developing mindfulness practice is non-judgmentalism. Why is this such an important aspect of mindfulness practice and is it compatible with Christian faith?

In Matthew 7:1-6 Jesus introduces us to his teaching on judging that has caused much debate throughout church history. Here is the passage :

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”

Is it Jesus intention to give us a little bit of wriggle room so we can on occasion sit in judgment upon ourselves and upon others? When you see another human being (Christian or not) behaving in a way that you think is “unbiblical” or in a way that is “unacceptable” to you, is it your responsibility to bring down your gavel in judgement and condemn that person in your heart? Judgmentalism is perhaps one of the most unattractive qualities that any of us can possess as human beings. It causes relationships to break down, bitterness and unforgiveness to be harboured, anger to be stoked and jealousy to be inflamed. Instead of being life-giving, judgmentalism is like a thief robbing us of kindness and compassion and leaving us beaten up at the side of the road.

Sitting in the place of judgement we can quickly assert our own self-righteousness and superiority above others. Far from promoting Christ-likeness, judgmentalism looks more like the Pharisee who prays in Matthew 18:11 –

‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

Judgmentalism can involve that thought which very swiftly comes to a conclusion about yourself or someone else and positions you as the judge in the court room of your mind. The impact is swift and only leads to spiritual atrophy. Our “right to judge” is held up in our minds as a worthless idol leading us away from the compassionate and merciful face of Jesus. Sadly, many forms of Christianity have actually promoted this way of thinking. We point the finger at those who are not living the way we think they should or believing the right doctrines. We appoint ourselves as the soul guardians of God’s truth. And we assume that God is pleased with this way of living and being.

How can a kid who you believe can't make permanent life changing decisions tell you he/she is trans and you will accept without 'judgement or shaming'?

Yes. As opposed to killing and torturing them to change? Or Will shaming/judging them make it change? I feel like that’s common sense.

How does your kid know he/she was born in the wrong body? In the wrong sex? A kid that wants to be a pilot today and a doctor tomorrow? Or likes Iya Biliki more than you because she gave her two pieces of meat when the rule is one in your household?

Which is why I don’t support transition surgery in childhood. Permanent life changing decision. You really didn’t have to quote this post because it doesn’t add anything to the conversation. Except that you are not reading what you’re quoting.

As a Christian (that you claimed), you are fine with your seed (whom God has said is for Him and for signs and wonders) to be a permanent enemy of God? Because?

you’re the one defining them as enemies of God. God himself is probably not looking down favorably at you at the moment.

I have you before that you are not a Christian. It is either you retrace your steps from your fence all is fine stances on things God has declared outright enmity on or embrace your lack of godliness.

hug a wall if it displeases you that much. Cry me a river.

Like I said to KKins, Christianity is a hardline: you are either for or against. If you are for LGBTQ~ community, you have declared friendship with the world and enmity with God.

True Christianity . A real Jesus follower is not a fanatically crazed person who’s okay with harm happening to those who don’t share the same beliefs as them. Jesus said on the last day he will cast you away and say you never knew him. Because you worshiped for your own ego and self aggrandizing.

kkins25:
Cococandy, the real issue here is the contortion of observable facts perpetrated by the lgbt++ community..

1) A man or woman isn't a bundle of feeling that change over time. The biology is there to prove it.

2) Everybody is aware of differing sexual orientation. Haven't you seen people who eat feaces to become sexualy aroused? Imagine a teacher starts to teach your children thay eating feaces is a normal alternate sexual orientation. Let's be true to our self please, every adult is free to express themselves as they Please, but, is such sexual orientation one that should be taught to kids as normal?

3) why should the minority define the biology of the majority? Every lgbtq will refer to males as Cis-males. Even if you tell them not to, because to them, cis male is the proper term. A yoruba will enter igbo land and say no its not chineke it olodumare abi? How would that pan out?

My problem with them is their logic is inconsistent. Plus, I told you before that a lqbtq was scolding a 9 year old for disagreeing to believe that another student, also within the age range could identify as a cat.. Check youtube... Check Aba&preach channel, its one of their latest.

Again, a human with five legs doesn't negates the undisputed fact that humans have only four legs. Why aren't there any other specie with gender disphoria huh? After all, gayish behavior observed in animals are used to justify the existence of homosexuality, why not use the same logic the deconstruct the idea that a creature with a certain sex organ will act in accordance with its sex. No gender fluidity bullshit. In fact, gender was a feminist construct..So,it wasn't something that was status quo. the whole fluidity nonsense was copied right out of religious practises like hermatica.


Isolated tribes in the whole world, do not show any indications of gender dysphoria. This is something you find in societies with heavy western influence..

Also, Western society, which is practically a sprout of roman society, is one of the few societies, where women were seen as lesser than men. That crap was taught to us.

@bold
Homophobia and most types of bigotry are actually a western culture. That’s why I laugh when people uphold ancient western bigotry in the name of preserving their own culture. It’s not your culture. It’s the remnant of colonial rule .

As for the rest of your post. The minority do not define your gender. That’s a weird take.
And

“Despite a long history of transgender realities in Africa, many modern transgendered people there experience well-warranted fear because of hostility in their families, tribes, or nations,” writes G. G. Bolich. “Much of this modern hostile response has been placed on the influence of European culture, both because of a colonial past and because of contemporary pressure, or the influence of foreign religions. Nevertheless, as in the past, so now transgendered people are active members of their communities, seeking to effect positive changes.” Africa’s rich past of gender non-conformity, coupled with transgender behaviors and transgender realities, is deeply embedded within various ethnic groups across the continent.
Before the implementation of rigid European rigid binaries, within the Dagaaba tribe of Ghana, Burkina Faso, and the Ivory Coast, gender identity was determined differently. Shaman Malidoma Somé of the Dagaaba says that gender to the tribe is not dependent upon sexual anatomy. “It is purely energetic. In that context, one who is physically male can vibrate female energy, and vice versa. That is where the real gender is.” The Igbo of Nigeria, also in Western Africa, “appear to assign gender around age 5” (Bolich 246). In Central Africa, the Mbuti do not designate a specific gender to a child until after puberty, in direct contrast to Western society.

GENDER FLUIDITY AND NATIVE AMERICANS

In Native American culture, gender fluid people were accepted. Tribes also had their own terminology for describing these individuals, such as ​Winkte​ (Lakota Sioux), N​ àdleehé (Navaho), and ​Alyha (​ Mohave). In many Native nations, there was more than two concepts of gender. Colonization has diminished these practices, and replaced them with binary molds, however modern movements have sought to reclaim these gender fluid traditions.
PRE-COLONIAL

Before the arrival of European explorers, queer Native Americans were recognized accepted, and maintained significant roles in tribal communities. According to Randy Burns (Northern Paiute), “our families and communities recognized us and encouraged us to develop our skill… [and] in turn, we made special contributions to our communities.” Traditional gay ancestors were healers, artists, hunters, warriors and providers of families and communities.

That’s the ideal life in my opinion. The cool earth touch is healing.

Hopefully In a few years I’m going to be buying a vineyard in or around Napa Valley to grow grapes for those wine makers and grow all my own food as well.

Waybill to my house straight away. I'm so jealous.
I missed this yr's farming. If we are alive, do shout at to moi.
And I had everything ready. Even seeds.
I love,love farming.

If I'm super rich, I will retire to a village to become a farmer. It’s so relaxing and healing.

kkins25:
with more than 5 billion women who are females, I've never hearx of women month. But, we have pride month, the most important and marginalized demographic in society and the world...

Go grab a second cup of coffee

I mean as long as it’s consensual who am I judge?

Ishilove:
I have a very close friend whose daughter was non-binary and was using 'they/them' pronoun. 19 year old girl. He took her back to Nigeria, destroyed her passport and hooked her up with some men. He said, and I quote, "after dem nack her better nacking, she has gone back to using 'her' pronoun".

To paraphrase him: she was fûcked back to her senses.

She has been here for a year and has voluntarily refused to go back to the states.

That's just one case. My kids will undergo conversion therapy the Nigerian way, if may God forbid they decide to become transgender.

Trans population is so minute it’s not likely to occur to you or someone you know.


However….. what will being in Nigeria do ?
Except push the child to back alley associations where people will then take advantage of them because of what they are going through

Ishilove:
Coco, it's happening right under our noses. Any child of mine who tries this will be lured back to Nigeria and when there, his/her Nigerian passport will be destroyed until they are of legal age. And even before then I will make sure any useless gender confusion is expunged from their heads.

Ishilove:
https://globalnews.ca/news/6399468/bc-gender-change-court/

There are some other cases that come to mind but I'm feeling too lazy to search them out

I did some search based on the post and there were cases where children 17 or older (I’m assuming 18 then?) received gender surgery with parental consent.

(Which personally I still think is early)

But no medical professionals are not out here willy hilly chopping off joysticks for the fun of it.

The documentary does not give space to doctors to speak about the clinical procedures involved in gender reassignment surgeries especially when a section of the medical community is vocally sceptical of the procedures. It has been noted by physicians that gender-affirming hormones are partially irreversible and change people’s bodies for the rest of their lives. This has been compounded by the concerns of the Association of Clinical Psychologists, which has spoken of a “lack of robust, high-quality evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of using puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to treat gender dysphoria in adolescents.”

The issues of gender dysphoria need to be openly addressed while being supplemented with scientific research. However, turning the quest to define a woman into a narcissistic and self-indulgent exercise is doing more harm than good to the conversation.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I just try to do good, live with a clean Conscience and mind my business. Let God take charge.
No one on earth is God's mouthpiece we are all fallible and sin a lot, knowingly and unknowingly.
May God help us all. I will not spread hate and impose my views and beliefs on others. Its why I am liberal.

👏🏽👏🏽

Ishilove:
Neither can minors, but now they are giving minors the right to make irrevocable changes to their bodies and denying their parents the power to stop it.

Minors don’t have those rights. And even if some LGBTQ folks agree with gender surgery in childhood, I know some of them don’t. And not everyone who supports LGBTQ rights agrees with gender reassignment surgery in childhood

You have eloquently summarized what I’ve been trying say with too many paragraphs.

GloriousGbola:
Well, understand this - this is how hard core northerners look at Christians. And they use all the same arguments to justify their actions.

It is how majorities oppress minorities the world over. Same way they are oppressing Muslims in China and in Burma.

I may dislike your lifestyle because I find it offensive, but that is also part of democracy. Tolerance.

That is what cococandy is saying. In all of this remember the image below.

Won’t he? And won’t it be amazing to observe?

Ladyhippolyta88:
.

God is going to judge all of us.

Ishilove:
They have the temerity to call women "birthing bodies" or whatever the fück BS. In some sites now they have erased the "woman" and replaced it with "womb carriers."

Ishi this is propaganda it’s not true.
At least I work in very diverse environment and no woman is called a birthing a body or chest feeder.
I don’t know who started this (I mean I know but it’s irrelevant) and has it spread worldwide and people are saying it like it’s a fact. It’s just not.

Yes I remember that. And the one that happened in Florida 49 killed and 53 wounded.

People didn’t really care that humans were killed senselessly. They were in LGBTQ so their lives don’t count. All because of threads and forums like these.

That’s why I’m convinced the whole “trans are coming for you” rhetoric is BS. It’s more likely that they will suffer and die needlessly with the way propaganda is being spread about them and their “agenda”.

Ladyhippolyta88:
You are very correct. It's already happening. Do you remember the Colorado gay bar shooting accident that happened last year?
Do you remember what the father of the perpetrator said when he heard the news?
He said I hope he is not gay, but he was fine with his son being a former indecent star but claims to be a member of the Latter day Saint and Christian.
The hypocrisy was stunning. The shooter who was raised in the LDS became an indecent star but thinks he is better than gay people and went to kill them.
Here is the link to the father's comments.

Lol

5. Whilst approaching me for marriage, the girl should not come with the belief that her body is needed carnal gratification.
Or do you believe that I am marrying the girl so that I can kiss her lips and caress her body and by so doing get double pleasure; one pleasure from the kissing and the other pleasure from the caressing?
I marry not her body but her Christian fire.

No one in his church fit the bill?

kkins25:
It is you who insinuates that the default of being a man is to be evil. Proving my points that you hate the straight man.

Mind you, the default settings of a transwoman is man.

You must not have had your morning coffee

kkins25:
I recall a transgender man raping three women in prison. It seems when taken away from the cult movement, everybody resets to default.

kkins25:
Ad hominems, coco.

I don't know about that though, I recall a transgender man raping three women in prison. It seems when taken away from the cult movement, everybody resets to default.

The default being that men are rapey in nature?

I don’t think this is flex you think it is. But it’s proving our points

kkins25:
You have no problem of such men becoming trans-women so i do not see the problem here ...After all, a man in womans clothing, one ugly mother fucker, won a beauty pageant as the most beautiful woman. Ye applauded. It seems to me, y'all like us dominating you...
The infamous women's fastest swimmer happens to be a very feminine individual as well.. her name is LIa Thomas something. buhahahahahahahahah. buhahahahahaha.

Yup. The perfect example of a man who supports women against those evil transgenders.

I’d have to have suffered a serious TBI to actually believe that I’m more at risk with a trans woman than with you. (Generally speaking)

kkins25:
I see, then you are not all in for human right. Just the ones your traditions permit you too... Abeg, find me an original LGBTQ person to argue with abeg.... You're just virtue signaling on the basis that the protection isn't without "sin". I understand.

Did you see a comment up there about how it would be (kinda) okay if kids got married and had kids as long they have support? What do you make of that?

kkins25:
This is just straight-phobic. it's the same set of people that have fought WW1, and WW2.. If this were true, there wouldn't be transgenders in the first place.

Lol maybe it’s about time straight-phobic became a thing. That might open the door of empathy in some of your hearts. Feeling what it’s like to be minding your business and have some people use you as topic of conversation endlessly and promote hate against you . who knows?.

Remember that guy who was prosecuted for rape, quickly joined the LGBTQ band-wagon, and was given an easier sentence into the women's prison?

a prime example of a man being scum.

1). You guys think the LGBTQ are people in their right minds. Wait a minute, why are we only having issues with trans-women and not trans-men.

this is a great question and I’ve actually thought about this before. Why? Maybe because straight women are not going about creating propaganda about trans men in order to tell men that someone is out to get them and replace them bla bla bla.

2). Why is the rate of transition to women far greater than that of women to men?
3). Can a man give birth?
4). Can a woman impregnate a man?
5). What is gender fluidity?
6). What is the empirical basis for the belief that people can switch sex and gender?
7). Why is the occurrence concentrated in only certain parts of the world?
8 . If gender and sex are mutually exclusive, why must there be a change in sex to reaffirm gender?

2) maybe it’s easier to remove than it is to add? That’s what I think anyway.
3) well if he’s trans and still has the biological parts yes indeed it can happen. So better wear protection
4) see number 3
5) google can help you with this. But the simple answer is that some people are not strictly masculine, feminine, etc as the rest of us. And that’s okay. It’s not my life.
6) it’s happening in front of your eyes. I don’t know what’s more empirical than that. It’s okay if you don’t fully understand it. I don’t seek to make declarations on them on something I have no experience with
7) oppression. Duh.
8 There mustn’t be a sex change actually. Some trans people live and die without undergoing trans surgery.

9). What is a woman?
10). What is a man?
11). If sexual interactions below the institutionalized ages are crimes, why do children below said ages allowed to determine their sexual orientation?

If answering the above is to much.. kindly just answer what a woman is.. https://www.nairaland.com/7749505/what-woman

I got to this point and now just realized you don’t even want a conversation. You are one of those who think by asking questions you don’t or won’t accept the answers to, you can mock women and claim it’s the Trans community who’s out to get them. Like during the hearing of that judge Ketanji

In both situations who’s the robber and attacker?

@bold, There we go. That’s exactly the kind things men say that will forever make me wary of strange men on the internet becoming sudden allies of women. Side eye

kkins25:
No, women brainwashing themselves to think the world is supposed to be a place with butterflies and roses.

A man gets robbed in the night time: Omo thieves do me strong thing today oh.
A woman gets robbed: Patriarchy! All men are scum!!
Continue to deceive yourself, and expect that I won't use the physical prowess given to me by nature to dominate
That said, I know many women who have used their own physical prowess to subdue people with the tendency to dominate.

Life isn't fair. Wake up to reality!!

kkins25:
But, the majority of LGBTQ support this, so how can you support LGBTQ and say you don't support sex transition?

Sex transition IN CHILDREN. Please make that distinction. I’m a firm believer that children can’t make permanent life changing decisions. Things like having sex, giving birth, gender surgeries are in my opinion things that can have life changing consequences and kids don’t have the mental maturity to decide to do it.
If I have a kid that’s trans, I’ll accept and support them without judging or shaming but I will not give them my blessing to go for sex reassignment as kids.

And not all LGBTQ people are in support of children transitioning. This is the propaganda I was talking about. Maybe you meant to say they support gender affirming healthcare care which is not always the same gender reassignment surgery .

They act like if you don’t join the bandwagon that says “harm and death to trans people” then you must be advocating for them to round up all the kids and change the boys to girls and vice versa.

I’m speaking because there’s a real risk of violent cleansings aimed at members of the LGBTQ group that would happen in the near future . And when it happens, all these good people will turn a blind eye while millions of people get killed. That’s more likely to happen than trans women taking the place of biological women. It’s the more common sense outcome of all this hate. Not the erasure of women

Ladyhippolyta88:
Gbam.
I don't bother myself with transpeople you barely see them anyway. But then biology is real and I will side with women all the way and not with men who want to be women.
I believe to JK Rownlings school of thought on transwomen and as Chimamanda have said transwomen are transwomen.
My problem though which was why I even spoke up is the hateful rhetoric here on them.
You and I might not be in support of them but has any of us spread hateful propaganda the way Matt Walsh and his followers have done? There is a reason why Terf's don't even align with the Right on Trans issues because men like Matt Walsh and other religious hateful bigots are not our allies even when it comes to questioning biological men on why they want to be in women's spaces.

kkins25:
In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If women don't wake up to the invasion of womanhood by men, y'all are going back to what you were 1000 years ago. Because, the future women who conquer the world will be women with joysticks.

No straight men have argued that the reason why transgender exists is because women wanted freedom of self expression and personal autonomy. If women didn’t want to be free to be who they are then trans people won’t exist. That’s who’s fighting for women?

They are trying to convince us that in order for transgender issues to be laid to rest, women have to be okay with going back to living as subhumans under men. I’m sorry I’m not buying it.

If they loved women so much, misogyny wouldn’t have been a thing for millennia

This is why I sometimes don’t fancy going into these conversations because people argue against points you’re not making and try to get you to defend a position you don’t even hold.

I have never ever on this forum or in real life said that I support children undergoing medical sex transition. Why on earth are you making up stuff?

kkins25:
I disagree people do care, and that is why governments all over the world are making an effort to increase the age limit for consensual sex, especially for women. Remember, our ancestors had sex strictly based on biological developments and not mental or spiritual ones. So, in fact, we are actively changing the status quo adopted by a majority of the populace even though that was the norm. And the change is going well.

The issue here isn't about LGBTQ pro-max, but with the ideologies being pushed for the sake of the LGBTQ pro-max people.
NO HUMAN BEING BORN EITHER A BOY OR GIRL, KNOWS WHAT IT IS TO BE THE OPPOSITE SEX. Unless you want to agree that they lived their past life as the opposite sex, then that is a different ball game.

Sound logic. But, we can draw up correlations. Just like if a girl tells you she was raped by her uncle you'd believe her in an instant. Why? Because, correlation!



Which yeye phobia? It is evident that corporate America or rather, the democats (yep democats) and the co-operations they are heavily invested in now dictate that we skew the English grammar to include people who wake up every morning with a new identity. Facebook gave me a 2 week ban for trying to argue against the multiple sex brouhaha. Why? I suffered the same before the Elon musk take over. If LGBTQ want to express their subjective views of reality freely, don't I have the right to also express mine? As a parent, it is my duty to scrutinize information that my child receives in school. If i choose to not accept that my child be taught that they can change genders as they please, why should I be demonized by society for it? Why should I have to loose my job for it? If you want to test the waters, to maybe call my bluff, you could attempt posting on your social media platform where your colleagues know you with that "sex is two, and only two."

Some students leaked audio of their teacher arguing with a 9-year-old boy on the matter of sex, gender, gender identity, and self-identity(we are now at the level where someone can identify as another species). One of the teacher's student claimed to identify as a CAT. He was scolded by his classmate for choosing to identify as such but, low and behold the woke teacher came to the CAT-BoY's defense. cococandy, is any human in his right mind going to claim that they are cats on the inside? hmmm? please, pray tell. And, why in the world will a teacher, someone who is actively shaping the destiny of the child going to affirm such nonsense? Tell me coco, isn't that on the high scale of madness?

What if a 9-year-old girl walks into class and say's she wants to get married, and that she knows she's ready? I'm quite sure you and those with the same umbrella of thought will forcefully kick against it. Because a 9-year-old girl is too young to know what sex or marriage is.

However, again, however, the LGBTQ community does not think it through if a 5-year-old girl claims she thinks she's a boy or a monkey. A 5-year-old can choose to identify as whatever and can be administered hormone blockers by adults. What the crying fvck?

Oh, I thought the 5-year-old wasn't mentally developed enough to make such decisions. Why the UNO-reverse huh?

As a biologist, I absolutely boil on the inside when I hear the nonsense of Sex vs. gender. Here's a supporting logic, If a human was born with 3 legs, does that mean all humans aren't actually Tetrapods? huh?

Can't we all love each other even though we share different opinions?

somehow:
If the same people that orchestrated that wants another, they don't mind causing 3rd world war which is even looking likely already.

Yes the elites and billionaires don’t mind if the earth goes up in flames as long as they can be safe and stay wealthy.

That’s another reason why I don’t buy the depopulation conspiracy theory. Who’s going to be out there slaving away at minimum wage jobs to ensure they stay on top?

If the women don’t want it, then that’s reason enough

A Profile of the Child Molester

BY ROSEMARY WEBB AND JENNIFER MITCHELL, INTERNATIONAL PERSONAL SAFETY EXPERTS.

For over three decades, Child Lures Prevention/Teen Lures Prevention has analyzed data on the methods child molesters/sex offenders use to lure children, teens and young adults into abuse and worse. This original research, based on hundreds of interviews with convicted sex offenders and in-depth case studies, reveals 16 specific Lures -- including Affection, Authority, Bribery and Games -- which constitute the foundation of the evidence-based Think First & Stay Safe and Teen Lures TV Newscast school curricula.

Child molesters come from all economic backgrounds, geographic areas and include every ethnicity, race and creed. The sole characteristic all child molesters share is having thoughts about being sexual with children, and acting on those thoughts. These individuals actively seek access to children and the opportunity to be alone with them. Also, contrary to "Stranger Danger" warnings, child molesters are rarely strangers; at least 90% of sexually abused children are abused by someone the child and/or family knows, someone in the child's immediate or extended family, or someone close to the family.


Who can be a child molester?

Any gender (88% are male; 9% are female; 3% are unknown)*
All ages (including kids, teens and seniors)
All socioeconomic groups (wealthy, middle class & disadvantaged)
All races & ethnicity
Diverse occupations
What percentage of child sexual abuse is committed by family members?

Family members abuse:

49% of victims under age 6.
42% of victims ages 7-11.
24% of victims ages 12 - 17.
The younger the child, the more likely their abuser is a family member. Keep in mind that family members include parents, guardians, step-parents, siblings, step-siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents.

Do kids and teens use Atypical or Problem Sexual Behavior with other children?

Yes. Based on substantiated state-by-state reports, at least 1/3rd of all childhood sexual abuse is peer-on-peer. Juveniles using atypical or problem sexual behavior are usually youngsters who are older and stronger than their victim. The average onset of problem sexual behavior is 12-14 years old. ("Children under age 12 are identified as having atypical sexual behavior, not sexually abusive behavior, due to their young age, developmental level, and the continual changes that occur throughout childhood,” states the Association of the Treatment of Sexual Abusers.)

A U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics report* found that 23% of all sexual offenses against children were by other kids under the age of 18. There are two very important distinctions to make about juveniles using atypical or problem sexual behaviors:

Of children who are sexually abused, the majority DO NOT go on to use atypical or problem sexual behavior.
The subset of juveniles who do use atypical or problem sexual behavior with other children often have histories of being victimized themselves.
Do females ever molest children?

Yes. Female offenders make up approximately 9% of all reported child sexual abuse. The most recent statistical report by the US Department of Justice found that female offenders sexually abused:

12% of victims under the age of 6
6% of victims ages 6 - 12
3% of victims ages 12 - 17
What is the most common lure used by child molesters?

The Affection Lure is used both offline and online to exploit unsuspecting youngsters in need of love and attention. (See Think First & Stay Safe™ Parent Guide.) Most victims of abuse are befriended and "groomed" over a period of hours, days, weeks, months, or years. Child molesters have repeatedly admitted: When there's a physically or emotionally absent parent in the picture, it makes the child more vulnerable to grooming and abuse.

How many sex offenders, including child molesters, live in the U.S.?

Currently, there are 904,011 registered sex offenders living in the United States, according to registry data from 50 states and 6 U.S. territories (May, 2018), which has increased from 847,725 in Nov, 2017*. These are offenders who have been caught, convicted, served their time and are now living among us. This number does not include child molesters who are currently serving time in prison. Also, the FBI estimates that only 10-40% of sex crimes are ever reported, which means there are millions of sex offenders living in the United States, many of whom have never been reported - or caught, or convicted.

Also not listed on the Sex Offender Registry are juveniles under the age of 14 using atypical or problem sexual behavior (caught and adjudicated), as well as any minors using atypical or problem sexual behavior who have not been reported or adjudicated.

How do child molesters gain access to their victims?

While some sexual abuse is purely opportunistic, most children are groomed and lured into situations where they are vulnerable to abuse. Common grooming strategies include:

Befriending parents, particularly single parents, to gain access to their children.
Offering babysitting services to busy parents or guardians.
Taking jobs and participating in community events that involve children.
Becoming a guardian or foster parent.
Attending sporting events for children.
Offering to coach children's sports.
Volunteering in youth organizations.
Offering to chaperone overnight trips.
Loitering in places children frequent - playgrounds, parks, malls, game arcades, sports fields, etc.
Befriending youngsters on social media (TikTok, Ask.fm, YouTube, Kik, Snapchat, Instagram, etc.) and online gaming platforms.
How do sex offenders lure kids online?

Internet predators use the same Lures online that are used offline. They typically target uninformed and unsuspecting youngsters to engage in virtual relationships by luring them with flattery, attention and feelings of being close to an online friend. In essence, the Affection Lure, Friendship Lure and Ego Lure are being used online. Lonely, neglected, confused and risk-taking adolescents are most vulnerable. The risk increases if they share intimate images of themselves or have inappropriate conversations.

The internet predator becomes a more serious threat when they obtain a youngster’s personal information (i.e. full name, phone number, address, school, sports team), convinces them to send inappropriate images, or manages to arrange a private, in-person meeting. Youth who have shared too much personal information or agreed to in-person meetings without adult supervision have been robbed, physically assaulted and sexually abused. Cyber predators who convince youngsters to share intimate pictures or video often use blackmail to get more images. This is known as sextortion, which law enforcement has identified as a real and significant threat to the safety of all youth.

Children and teens are still more likely to be sexually exploited (in person or virtually) by someone they know, including a peer, than by an Internet Predator. This is why it's important to remind kids to limit how much personal information they share with everyone, to keep passwords PRIVATE (even from friends) and to never send inappropriate images to anyone. (For additional safety tips, order a Think First & Stay Safe™ Parent Guide.)

How else do child molesters use the Internet?

Since the dawn of the Internet, child molesters around the globe have used it to share beliefs and experiences, even descriptions, names and images of children they have abused. Now, the Dark Web is where they "socialize," as well as share and sell child pornography, easily produced with cell phone cameras and sometimes even shown in real time.

It is essential for parents to teach children and teens that they must not ask for, nor provide, nude or semi-nude photos. Ever. Many sexted images children and teens have been pressured into sending (or send "to be funny" end up in the child porn collections of American and International child porn collectors. Despite law enforcement's best efforts, it is next to impossible to keep child pornography images out of circulation on the web.

How do child molesters target their victims?

Early grooming efforts by sexual predators seek to determine if the child has a stable home life, or if the family is facing challenges like divorce, foster care, poverty, illness, drugs, homelessness, etc. Children lacking stability at home are at higher risk for sexual abuse, as there is usually more access to the child and opportunities to abuse the child.

Child molesters will also target kids who are loners, or who look troubled or neglected. Youngsters who smoke, vape or use drugs and alcohol are seen as risk-seekers lacking adequate supervision, and therefore easy targets. Single parents are often targeted, as they are more likely to need help with parenting duties and vulnerable to offers to babysit and/or drive kids to school, practices, lessons and other activities. (See Think First & Stay Safe™ Parent Guide.)

Which age group is most often targeted by child molesters?

While all children are vulnerable, approximately 20% of child sexual abuse occurs with children under 5 years of age; 50% with kids between 5-12 years old; and 30% occurs with teens between 13-17 years of age. Parents and guardians can help keep children safe by talking frankly and often to their children about "the birds and the bees." At the very least, teach your child, preferably beginning at birth, anatomically-correct names for their private body parts (buttocks, anus, chest, breasts, vulva, vagina, penis and scrotum). Child molesters have admitted they are less likely to abuse children who know the proper names for private body parts and have learned basic body safety skills.

Some child molesters cite a preference for children on the brink of puberty. This is the age of sexual awakening, making it easy for molesters to prey on the sexual ignorance and curiosity of youngsters. To quote one sex offender, "Give me a kid who knows nothing about sex, and you've given me my next victim."

When and where do most sexual assaults usually happen?

With incidents involving juvenile using atypical or problem sexual behavior, 1 in 7 incidents occur on schooldays between 3pm-7pm, with a peak from 3-4pm, right after school. (Child Maltreatment Report, 2013) This speaks to the importance of safe after-school care and close supervision of multi-age groups of youngsters.

Most child sexual abuse occurs in the home of the victim, the home of the offender, or another residence. 81% of all child sexual abuse occurs in one-on-one situations: one-offender/one-child. (Child Maltreatment Report, 2013) Wherever youth are physically or virtually alone with someone is a potential place where they can be subjected to sexual misconduct or abuse.

Wouldn't a vigilant parent be able to detect a child molester, just by their actions?

Not necessarily. Most child molesters are expert at getting children and families to trust them. Many target their victims and attempt to involve themselves in the child's life, including their family, school, house of worship, sports, and hobbies. They are often the first to offer to babysit or drive children to activities. Child molesters will smile at you, look you right in the eye and make you believe they are trustworthy. (To learn the 16 Lures used by sexual offenders, order the Think First & Stay Safe™ Parent Guide.)

Why is it that most victims do NOT tell someone about their abuse, or attempted abuse?

There are many reasons why 9 in 10 children do not tell about being sexually abused. Because the abuser is often a family member, the child may be dependent on their abuser for basics like food and shelter. They may still love the abuser and not want to get them in trouble, or they may fear breaking up the family. They may have been threatened not to tell, so they are afraid.

Many survivors of sexual abuse feel embarrassment, shame and a sense of guilt over what happened. They may mistakenly believe they are somehow responsible, that they did something to make the abuse happen. They did not. Other kids, especially boys, are afraid parents will over-react or restrict their freedom, so they keep quiet. However, being sexually abused is NEVER a child's fault. Think First & Stay Safe and Teen Lures TV Newscast curricula also teach children and teens that All Secrets Can Be Told. Program evaluations document that children are more willing to tell about grooming behaviors, attempted abuse and sexual abuse after learning either or both curricula.

How then, do we protect our children?

Starting at birth, teach children the medical terms for private body parts. (Chest, breasts, buttocks, anus, vulva, vagina, penis and scrotum.) Teach children that private parts are just that - private. Assure children of their own rights, that they are the boss of their own body, and they get to choose whether or not anyone can hug, kiss or touch them. Respect children's privacy and personal space, and teach them to respect the privacy and personal space of others.

Teach your child that it is against the law for anyone to look at, take pictures/video of, or touch a child’s private parts with any part of their body. It is also against the law to tell a child to look at, take pictures/video of, or touch another person’s private parts with any part of their body. Anyone who tries is breaking the law. Tell your children that all secrets can be told, especially secrets they have been told to keep or have been keeping for a long time. Help your child choose two trusted adults, one at home and one at school, to whom they can tell anything. (See Think First & Stay Safe™ Parent Guide.)

If a person or situation gives you or your child a funny feeling in the belly, act upon those feelings. Don't allow your child to be alone with such persons or go alone into such situations. Gut feelings are rarely wrong.

The VIP (Very Important Person) Factor

While there are many reasons victims don't tell, the "VIP Factor" is a significant reason why sexual crimes against children have continued for generations. These "Very Important Persons" (VIPs) are well-known local leaders in our schools, athletic and civic organizations, houses of worship, healthcare and business communities. Some are VIPs on the state or national level, in the educational, legal, military, corporate, media, higher education and political worlds. They have power and money, and they have imposed a culture of silence that few dare attempt to confront.

For example, at Penn State University, Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky (who ran a non-profit organization for disadvantaged youth) used nine of the 16 Child Lures to entrap and sexually exploit his many young victims: 1. Affection, 2. Assistance, 3. Authority, 4. Bribery, 5. Games, 6. Hero, 7. Job, 8. Threats & Weapons and 9. Drugs.

Four of the victims were assaulted during sleepovers with Sandusky, a common tactic of sex offenders. As in many cases of child sexual abuse, the children were threatened not to disclose and were told, "No one will believe you." As is usually the case, the child victims believed their offender.

Other VIPs within Penn State University were aware of inappropriate behaviors by Sandusky, but did nothing to stop, report or prevent his crimes against vulnerable children.

And now, 8 years later, another high profile case has emerged with Jeffrey Epstein. Gleaned from the complaint: Jane Doe v. Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn, in their capacities as the executors of the estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein, Jane Doe specifically outlines how Jeffrey Epstein and his recruiters/handlers allegedly used the VERY SAME Child/Teen Lures of 1. Affection, 2. Assistance, 3. Authority, 4. Bribery, 5. Games, 6. Hero, 7. Job and 8. Threats/Fear to carry out years of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

And like Sandusky/Penn State University, why did no one in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit speak up or step up to stop, report or prevent these crimes against children, teens and young women?

Final Thoughts:

Child molesters can be anyone - family members, relatives, neighbors, coaches, teachers, preachers, friends, children's peers, etc.. Knowing this - and knowing that adults cannot be with children every moment of every day - it is essential to put systems in place to help protect children.

Best practice for implementing and sustaining sexual violence prevention in child-serving organizations (schools, clubs, faith-based organizations, sports) include:

Have organizational Policies & Procedures in place to help protect children, employees and the institution.
Train all teachers, staff and volunteers on recognizing grooming and reporting abuse.
Educate parents/guardians/community-at-large.
Implement developmentally-appropriate classroom-based awareness and prevention education and activities for students (Evidence-based, such as Think First & Stay Safe or Teen Lures TV Newscast curricula. Includes multi-session presentations, Pre/Post Tests and home connection materials to ensure parental involvement.)
Talk openly with children about personal boundaries and personal safety. Teach children, age-appropriately, how to recognize, resist and report the lures used for generations by sexual offenders of every kind. (Order a Think First & Stay Safe™ Parent Guide.)

Thankfully, both children and adults are more supported in disclosing bullying, harassment and sexual abuse. Through the "Me Too" movement, people are boldly and loudly declaring that these crimes are no longer acceptable. This long-overdue cultural shift to zero tolerance will hopefully shift attention to the dire need to prevent child sexual abuse through awareness and education.

By teaching positive health-promoting norms, attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviors, beginning in Pre-Kindergarten and continuing through high school and beyond, a culture of kindness, mutual respect and personal safety can be cultivated and maintained. Please consider recommending the evidence-based Think First & Stay Safe and Teen Lures TV Newscast curricula to your child's school and/or organizations. [END]
