Prejudicial trauma induced by helpers...

Florida and Texas are front runners in hurting children, parents, teachers, doctors, mental health professionals... these two States are adding to a prejudicial stress that literally is traumatizing a society. 

.

One day, a little ... a very very very little bit of science will hopefully enter the threshhold of this gazillion years long trajectory of hurting people "in the name of good" - aka in the name of some religious ideaology or one up and one down judgment (the "I know for you,  what you need,  more than you do" principle).  

.

Texas and Florida are among the front runners in States who are taking actions that will lead to more deaths of children and more child abuse....suicide among transgender is off the charts high (as it is in lesbian, gay and bisexual) ... child abuse and oppression and  of these same suiciding folks (lgbtq) is correlationally very high too.   

.

Lawyers, child welfare professionals, doctors, parents and children themselves have rights, ethics, moral, sexual and social codes...again, just a very little bit of science can help .... to separate the mystical from the biolgical.  Without a bit of common sense, even, people are going to be killed - indirectly suicides will go up is what I mean - by these very kinds of rules.

.

Fortunately, I suppose if that's even fair to say,  some folks have the power (and this is key) to resist and withstand a harmful  position - some. But many do not. Many,  especially children, do not have their own voice. Many parents grapple with finding their vouce too ... telling the righteous that maybe it is THEY who are wrong is hard for anybody.   

.

So the elite take to the causes of justice - instead of sitting down with the people and having real face to face conversation.  All the while more and more children will be harmed.  These DA's are smart and brave.... but know that they have a lawyers ability to say no.  They have power.   A mandated reporter in Texas and possibly soon in Florida too (their House just passed the "don't say gay" bill) can lose their careers over this stuff.  

.

Counselors,  teachers ... these ones are being asked/ordered/mandated maybe to not help those most vulnerable - and those seeking help.  

.

And like many in the US who know it as experientially true ... prejudicial stress is a societal trauma ... done to itself by perpetrators and levied upon victims - in the name of the law, or God or ... whatever. 

.

But this ... just this ....

.

The children.
