Philadelphia School Students Stage Walkout, Demand Pennsylvania Become Transgender Sanctuary State

Philadelphia School Students Stage Walkout, Demand Pennsylvania Become Transgender Sanctuary State

“more than 100 students and a few teachers walked out of their Philadelphia schools and began a march towards City Hall”

If you listen to the activist left, you would think that transgender people are a significant majority population. They aren’t.

The College Fix reports:

Philly students ditch classes, demand PA become sanctuary state for transgender folk

Last week, more than 100 students and a few teachers walked out of their Philadelphia schools and began a march towards City Hall, all in the name of transgender rights.

The lead organizer of the walkout, Central High School transgender swimmer Wes Allen, said a catalyst for the event was him  witnessing what University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas went through, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Like Thomas recently, Allen said he isn’t “going to let transphobia take away” what he enjoys.

According to Allen, he and fellow trans students “are afraid to go on family vacations to overtly transphobic states for fear they might not come back.”

(The Inquirer’s Nate File notes that Thomas’s appearance as a trans female swimmer “caused an uproar,” brought in people “not typically concerned with transgender issues” with “force,” and was “buoyed mostly by hurtful rhetoric.” He also says conservatives have passed “overtly anti-trans legislation” over the last few years and that “trans youth have become the fixation of right wing media and stand-up comedians.”)

The protesters made the following demands of legislators and the School District of Philadelphia, which they claimed “aren’t much”:

— Opposition to a trio of House bills which “expand a person’s ability to sue after receiving gender-affirming treatment,” prohibit transgender female athletes from participating on women’s teams at public schools and colleges, and restrict (public school) education “concerning sexual orientation and gender identity.”

— A “reallocation” of funding in city schools for staff training on “gender diversity” and to “create more gender-neutral facilities, such as restrooms and locker rooms.”

— That Governor Josh Shapiro . . .  declare Pennsylvania a “sanctuary state” for transgender individuals meaning, among other things, no restrictions on “gender-affirming care.”

Let me guess: it just happened to be mid-term test day?

    Reality denial is the oldest and newest form of atheism, lol,.

    You have to know yourself to think for yourself and know God a little to know yourself even a tiny bit.

    The soul is male or female and is the form of the body. You might as well deny you exist since the soul is a gift and bound to eternity, and in itself, unchanging in nature.

    When reality is discovered by trans-sexual souls, it will be a consolation to have prayed for them.

I wish he'd name these states so it would narrow my choices when i move from Oregon.

Trans is a process where unattractive men becomes even more unattractive women. I think that Twilight Zone did a number of episodes on this very theme.

    Given the crime and murder rate in Philadelphia, they should be far more worried they won’t make it home on any given day in their own neighborhood.

    It’s projection. How many news items have you seen where transes acted up and became violent? Now, how many for non-transes assaulting transes? The defense rests.

“[Students demand] That Governor Josh Shapiro . . . declare Pennsylvania a “sanctuary state” for transgender individuals”

I’m waiting for these increasingly bizarre student demands to approach and then converge with clickbait lifehack ads:

Students Demand Pennsylvanians Put Bottles on Their Parked Car’s Tires
Students Demand Everyone Carry Bread Clip in Their Wallets
Students Demand You Spray WD-40 in Both Nostrils Before Bedtime

Mass hysteria. Our youth have been indoctrinated. How do we stop it?

Might as well go protest. Bet their educational prowess is laughable.

Cultured Marxism classes are going well I see in Philadelphia. It’s a matter of time now Pennsylvania is
going into the Democrat/Socialism grasp Emperor Shapiro will declare Pa a Trannie State refuge.
