The Evil doers strike again.
A 'scientific' advisory panel of Christianist 'ex-gay' group has caused outrage by advocating the bullying of children who don't conform to gender stereotypes.
The Los Angeles Times noted that supposed psychiatrist Joseph Berger said that instead of teaching tolerance, schools should "let the other children ridicule" boys and girls who don't conform.
"It is a mistake for various interfering, ignorant and biased busybodies to try to 'counsel' the other children into accepting the abnormal," Berger wrote. "It is very healthy to be able to draw the line between what is healthy and what is sick."
Among those 'sick' individuals: a cross-dressing kindergartner and other children with "gender-variant" behaviors.
Of course, Berger isn't the member of the panel with disgusting views. This is hardly surprising since the whole 'ex-gay' group is based on an insulting premise.
Another board member, a therapist, asserted that slaves may have been better off in chains than in "savage" Africa.
Gay teens face enough social ostracization for their innate (and innocuous) feelings without having sadistic quacks encouraging further mental anguish being inflicted on them. And just because the 'therapist' might harbor kinky desires toward chains doesn't mean he should impose them on others.
