Interesting - Suspected Child Predator DeSantis Probes His Own Asshole For Further Evidence Of Homosexuality

[Brian Drew]

Charlie Crist, a native Pennsylvanian, won the Democratic gubernatorial
race in the August 23 Florida primary. In November he will have the
opportunity to beat incumbent GOP governor Ron DeSantis, who won in 2018
by less than half a point and only 32,000 votes out of nine million cast.

Crist is a former Republican, turned Democrat in 2012. He’s a congressman
for Florida’s 13th district, a seat he’s held since 2017. He was governor
of Florida before, from 2007 to 2011 and served as Florida AG under Jeb
Bush.

Why should Pennsylvanians care about this race when they have their own
governor’s race to worry about? Florida matters because DeSantis is
arguably the most anti-LGBTQ politician in the U.S. and he’s also polling
second after Donald Trump for the GOP 2024 presidential nomination.
Republicans like what DeSantis is selling, and that’s bad for women and
LGBTQ people.

DeSantis is the biggest purveyor of the false narrative that elementary
school teachers (86% of whom are female) are “grooming” children to be gay
and trans. The “grooming” narrative, that all gay people are pedophiles
trying to indoctrinate children, was popularized by the Religious Right in
the 1980s and has been revived by DeSantis and other GOP electeds.

Back in March, when the Florida legislature was debating the “Don’t Say
Gay” law, DeSantis’s press secretary, Christina Pushaw, tweeted out
comments that opponents to the bill were either “groomers — people who
help “groom” children for pedophiles and other abusers — or support
groomers.

It was a stunning accusation directly from the governor’s office. “The
bill that liberals inaccurately call ‘Don’t Say Gay’ would be more
accurately described as Anti-Grooming Bill,” Pushaw tweeted.

She also tweeted, “If you’re against the anti-Grooming bill, you are
probably a groomer or at least you don’t denounce the grooming of 4- to
8-year-old children. Silence is complicity. This is how it works,
Democrats, and I didn’t make the rules.”

Pushaw told the Florida Politics news outlet,“So those who want to teach
3- to 8-year-olds about sex are either groomers, don’t want to protect
kids from groomers, or have not read the bill but have been misled by the
DNC media’s despicable campaign of lies repeating the baseless Democratic
branding ‘don’t say gay.’”

There was considerable pushback against Pushaw’s accusations. Equality
Florida, the largest LGBTQ rights advocacy organization in Florida, called
the tweets a “bigoted anti-LGBTQ rant.” Democratic legislators demanded an
apology from Pushaw and DeSantis; others called for Pushaw’s resignation.

Fast forward to now and DeSantis has set the tone for the GOP with this
grooming narrative that has expanded to assert that teachers are
inculcating kids with ideology that says they must claim either a gay
identity or switch genders. On July 27, while talking about why he feels
the “Don’t Say Gay” law is so important, DeSantis said, “This will be for
elementary school kids where they are instructed to tell them, ‘Well you
may have been born a boy that may have what you said, but maybe you’re
really a girl’. That is wrong.”

DeSantis added, “That has no place in schools. That is happening in our
country. Anyone that tells you it’s not happening is lying to you.”

But it isn’t happening, and the lie is from DeSantis himself. Nowhere does
DeSantis explain who “they” are allegedly instructing the 86 percent of K
to 8 teachers who are female in elementary schools to tell boys they are
girls.

It sounds implausible that a major political figure would tout such an
obvious lie and yet DeSantis not only keeps repeating it, but other
Republicans, like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (another purported GOP
presidential hopeful for 2024) are adopting this narrative. The Texas GOP
platform is full of similar false narratives about LGBTQ people and
demands of schools with regard to what can and cannot be taught in
classrooms.

Another insidious aspect of these GOP narratives is concomitant laws
targeting queer and trans youth. As PGN has reported throughout the year,
more than 300 bills have proliferated in state legislatures, including
Pennsylvania’s. At least a third of these bills focus on medical care for
trans and queer youth, with many blocking gender-affirming care. Others
prohibit trans kids from playing sports on teams linked to their gender
identity rather than their birth assignment.

The fixation on gender identity has spilled over from political
opportunists like DeSantis and Abbott into local school boards. In
addition to pushing for banning books that address gay and trans
identities, parents are now questioning the gender identities of students.
On August 17 it was revealed that a Utah high school had investigated
whether a female student was actually trans after she won a statewide
competition, according to Deseret News.

Pivoting off concerns over the wins by University of Pennsylvania NCAA
trans swimming champion Lia Thomas, the Utah parents of students who
finished second and third complained to the Utah High School Activities
Association (UHSAA) that the winning girl must have once been a biological
boy to win.

In the Utah Legislature’s Education Interim Committee on August 17, it was
revealed that the UHSAA asked a student-athlete’s school to open the
girl’s enrollment records dating back to kindergarten to confirm she was
female. The investigation — which neither the girl, nor her parents were
made aware of — revealed that the student had been born female.

“The school went back to kindergarten and she’d always been a female,”
said David Spatafore, the UHSAA’s legislative representative.

Spatafore said the UHSAA had gotten complaints about other athletes
including statements like “that female athlete doesn’t look feminine
enough.”

To protect the student’s identity, Spatafore said he would not reveal the
sport, the classification of play nor the school the student attended.

Spatafore said, “The association took every one of those complaints
seriously. We followed up on all of those complaints with the school and
the school system.” Spatafore’s comments were made during an update on
HB11, which bans transgender girls from participating in female school
sports.

In June, Ohio state GOP legislators passed a bill to exclude “suspected”
transgender female athletes with genital inspection. The “Save Women’s
Sports Act,” or House Bill 61, comes with a “verification process” of
checking the genitals of those “accused” of being trans.

Democratic Ohio state Rep. Dr. Beth Liston said of the bill, “I struggle
to understand why we keep discussing bills focusing on children’s
genitals.” Under HB61, if a student is “suspected to be transgender,” they
must endure evaluations of their external and internal genitalia, and have
their testosterone levels and genetic makeup checked.

Liston said, “This is truly bizarre medically and nonsensical, but looking
at it practically, this bill means that if anyone decides to question a
child’s true gender, that child must undergo a sensitive exam.”

The question then is, where does this end? The GOP is making grooming
accusations of female teachers and now parents are claiming every girl who
beats their daughter in a sporting event is trans and must have their
genitalia inspected. To say this is a slippery slope that is directly
harmful to women, girls and all LGBTQ people is to understate the
situation. Yet it seems that the only way to stop this trend is to end the
careers of the GOP electeds who push these narratives and make policy
based on false notions.

It’s a little over two months until election day, and many of these
politicians, like DeSantis and Abbott, are up for re-election. If they are
re-elected, what does that mean for LGBTQ people? If they are re-elected,
who will protect queer and trans youth, as well as cisgender girls, from
the real predators: the GOP.
