Alex Gino, a so-called 'non-binary' author of a book about a transgender 4th grader, declared 'parental rights really anger me.'
@authoralexgino / FacebookAlex Gino, a so-called “non-binary” author of a book about a transgender 4th grader, declared “parental rights really anger me” in a recent discussion of families pushing back on books that sow gender confusion in young children.
“I think it is fear that looks like anger,” the author said. “I think it is a fear of adults generally. Adults are not great at knowing what’s in the world. Kids are great at it. Kids are constantly learning what’s in the world and taking on new ideas. They learn who’s in the world, they learn how people are in the world.”
Gino went on to accuse adults of trying to make it so that their children do not “live in the real world.” “The book existing is progress, and of course there is pushback to progress,” Gino said. “The fact that there is more pushback is a sign that there is more progress — there are more books where more children have access to them that didn’t used to exist.”“If my book is going to get challenged, that to me is a sign that there are more stories that I need to write,” he said.
