And, it's more of the political correct bull crap -- that you don't want to tell a kid he's a freak [*with lisp*] 'cause it might hurt his feelings.[*end lisp*] If my son -- God forbid -- if my son put on a pair of high heels, I would probably hit him with one of my shoes. I would throw a shoe at him because y'know what? Boys don't wear high heels.
--Rob Williams Arnie States of Rob, Arnie, and Dawn In The Morning™
Leave it to morning talk radio to advocate violence against transgender elementary aged youth; making the physical health of gender variant youth fodder for violence. Not since the National Association For Research & Therapy Of Homosexuality's (NARTH's) Dr. Joseph Berger advocated violence against gender variant youth (alternate documentation: Pink News and the Los Angeles Times) have we seen such heinous public comment made against trans and other gender variant youth.
 What NARTH's Dr. Joseph Berger wrote about gender variant youth in 2006 was this:
I suggest, indeed, letting children who wish go to school in clothes of the opposite sex - but not counseling other children to not tease them or hurt their feelings.
On the contrary, don't interfere, and let the other children ridicule the child who has lost that clear boundary between play-acting at home and the reality needs of the outside world. Maybe, in this way, the child will re-establish that necessary boundary.
It is a mistake for various interfering, ignorant, and biased busybodies to try to "counsel" the other children into accepting the abnormal. It is very healthy to be able to draw the line between what is healthy and what is sick.
Even Exodus International condemned Dr. Berger for this comment.
Enter Rob Williams of the Sacramento based Rob, Arnie, and Dawn In The Morning™ show, heard on Sacramento's KRXQ 98.5 and Reno's KDOT Rock 104.5.
In a whole segment that's devoted to transgender youth, Rob Williams begins by going off on "gay marriage", berating peanut allergies, to repeatedly calling transgender adults "freaks" and "drama queens", to calling transyouth "freaks" and "losers", to calling all trans people (including trans youth) "liars" -- and then suggesting violence against any male child who expresses gender variance from the male norms. To say the least, It's an pretty interesting segment to listen to. The whole segment is here:
Here's a second excerpt to the 36-minute segment (the first excerpt is the one at the top of this Pam's House Blend diary):
Sometimes you need to tell people that you're wrong, you're evil, you're a drama queen, and you need to get over life. What you describe Dawn is every person all the time throughout their life "I need attention. I need to be loved for who I am." You know who you are? You're a dude 'cause you got the plumbing. And, that's what most of us see, and that's why we call them freaks and weirdoes.
And a third excerpt:
...we're talking about the drama queens.
And, on the issue of research, some things you don't research to look at and go 'This is a bridge too far. This is a weird person who is demanding attention.' And, when it's a child, all it takes is a hug -- maybe some tough love -- or anything in between, when your little boy said [*with whining, sarcastic voice*] "Mommy, I wanna walk around in a dress," [*end whining/sarcasm*] ya' tell 'em no, because that's not what boys do. But, that's not what we're doing in this culture.
Again, this is a segment that Williams is making these comments on is on transyouth.
