The Rights of Four-Year-Olds

July 5, 2015

A year ago, Jack was a nice young boy of three. Today, he’s Jackie, a pretty young “girl” of four.

This raises a question:

If a four-year-old can change his sex, can he “enjoy” it too – if he meets an adult who would be glad to show him how?

Of course, us old goats would consider that a capital crime, a felony, a capital sin, an outrage, a vile horror, and profoundly immoral.

But that’s all private now, a string of well-intentioned assertions without an anchor in reality (since reality is what we decide it is, says Mr. Justice Kennedy).

After Kennedy, today’s Poster Boy for Moral Chaos and Nihilism (he calls it “liberty“), can we really impose our private morals on little Jack, if he likes the adult who has so carefully groomed and ultimately seduced him?

Oh, sure, there are laws. But there were other laws, too, and they’re now long gone.

What’s left to defend little Jack but sentiment and rage?

As a famous person told the world a couple of years ago, “Who am I to judge?”
