I am very hungry, but I don't think I could justify calling myself a caterpillar.

After you lay off the junk food and eat a nice green leaf. And get a good night's sleep for once.

I am in fact a stinky cheese man though. Who do I blame for that?

I can trace a lot of the major changes in my life to books. Read banned books.

But maybe a cat fighting wars? A dragon riding kid?

A good night's sleep? I don't know, sounds kind of gay.

Honesty now I am curious if a book called "This book will make you kid trans" would sell as a gag gift.

It's only a problem for people who always do what they're told.

If you told me this was something Andrew Tate has said in the past year, I wouldn't even question it.

If a trans and/or gay character in a story can turn your kids trans and/or gay, then why isn't literally every person cis and straight?

God I wish I was a toad with an adventurous frog friend who gently encourages me out of the house.

Most people are aware that sexuality is not a choice (I mean, who would choose to be LGBTQ+ in a society that treats them so badly?).

So, why would they accuse books of turning someone gay? Because it shows the reader that they don't have to hide who they are. That's it. They are afraid that their children won't suppress their sexuality and suffer in silence like a 'good' Christian, Muslim, or whatever religious person should.

I know a few books that turn people into complete assholes. They all talk of a magical man in the sky.
