Pedophile Says He’s A 9-Year-Old Trapped In Man’s Body. So He Is

Stream: Pedophile Says He’s A 9-Year-Old Trapped In Man’s Body. So He Is

The Daily Wire reports on the story of 38-year-old Joseph Roman, who was “accused of sexually assaulting two six-year-olds and an eight-year-old on repeated occasions.”

Roman was “charged with repeated predatory criminal sexual assault.” The kicker is that he told police that he’s really “a 9-year-old trapped in an adult’s body.”

If Roman was a 9-year-old, he obviously would not be guilty of sexual assault on the same scale a 38-year-old would be. The best the police could do is to call 9-year-old Roman’s parents and ensure that he gets a good talking to. He couldn’t even be spanked, because that’s abuse.

Well, Roman says he’s 9. His birth certificate says 38. Who’s right?

The Right to be 9

Roman is. That’s what the transgender movement is all about. The right to self-define who we are. Transgender activists insist we should not be hemmed in by externalities forced on us against our will. Reality cannot be allowed to trump our desires.

Besides, the birth year used to calculate Roman’s 38 years was assigned to him at birth (probably by some patriarchal doctors). He had no choice in the matter.

He now has the right to make a choice. If he says he’s 9, we have to honor that right. It is our duty to agree with him about this age. To do otherwise risks ageophobia, in the same way that calling a man who thinks he’s a woman a man is transphobic.

The Supreme Anthony

Recall the words of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy who wrote into the law of the land that “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.”

Roman has defined the concept of his existence of being a 9-year-old. That’s his truth. It must therefore be our truth, too.

You may object to all this, but just think. If what we have been told by transgender advocates is true, then we cannot rely on science or measurement to decide what “gender” somebody is. We can only go by what people tell us they are. The same reasoning must apply to any biological characteristic.

Missed Genders

A man believes he is a woman, and says he is a woman. Science and all external, objective measurement says he is a man. We must discard this evidence. It must form no part of our judgement. All that is left is the man’s claim that he is a woman. That claim makes him a woman. Not only that, it creates the burden on us to recognize his womanhood.

If we call this man a man, we would be guilty of “misgendering” him. According to Health Line,

  1. Facts, logic, and reality are all abhorrent to Leftists, because everything they think, know, say, and do is a lie. This is why they use committees to create artificial rules to control the behavior of all who would speak the plain truth to them. They are insane, and in their insanity, wish to spread their condition to all others who might contradict their delusions.

    This is what leads to the holodomor, the gulags, the killing fields, the showers and ovens. Everything that reminds a Leftist of an uncomfortable truth must be removed, by whatever means necessary.

  2. This kind of thing has been going on forever when it comes to claims of expertise. There are loads of crackpots out there defining themselves as health experts or actual climate scientists™, regardless of their real knowledge of the fields.

  3. The police have no choice but to let Roman go.
    Wrong. They can define the law any way they want. And the prosecutor can charge any crime. And the courts can apply any penalty. Blame Roman; he started this absurdity.

  4. Today’s post illustrates The Onion predicted that broader society would start taking its cues for “normal” from mental health patients–or those who should be such patients:

    ‘We asked them’ — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieK1PTXmopE

    The Onion published the above as absurd satire in mid-2007. Now, barely a decade later, we observe reality has caught up.

    The conclusion is obvious: For a preview of things to come, read The Onion … it must be written by time travelers from the future trying to warn us –people are certainly reading, but clearly not heeding…

  5. Surely a big part of my identity is my memories. If I can “define” my identity then can’t I define my memories to suit myself or say that I am “memory-fluid”…

    How can a judge support anything like this?

  6. Interesting article from a Pediatrician discussing the lobby for transgender (violate their values by disagreeing and get ostracized) has encroached helping children be transgender regardless of other possibilities, includes this quote:

    “The transition-affirming view holds that children who “consistently and persistently insist” that they are not the gender associated with their biological sex are innately transgender.

    “(The fact that in normal life and in psychiatry, anyone who “consistently and persistently insists” on anything else contrary to physical reality is considered either confused or delusional is conveniently ignored.)”

  7. “If Roman was a 9-year-old, he obviously would not be guilty of sexual assault on the same scale a 38-year-old would be. The best the police could do is to call 9-year-old Roman’s parents and ensure that he gets a good talking to.”

    I entirely disagree with your logic here. First of all, I think that children have been convicted and sentenced for sexual assault.

    However, in this case, if we take this person at their word, they have proven that that they are a menace and must be separated from society at least until he reaches adulthood. And should he “grow up,” we can review the facts of the case, and decide if he needs to be punished as an adult.

  8. The guy doesn’t believe he’s nine, he hopes that society is now stupid enough to believe his lies.

  9. Briggs,

    Still adding apple and oranges.

    The guy can make the claim he is 9 and in Trumpland the truth and fact are variable.

    The legal question would be if he is really 9 years old. A nine year old cannot drive a car, if he has a drivers license than he cannot be 9. If he has a house or a mortgage he cannot be 9 year old. If he has a credit car or loan he cannot be 9 year old.

    A transgender on the other live is life as a man or a woman (they have to do it for a year or two before having the surgery.

    It would be nice to see that understand something at some point

  10. Sylvain that was so funny it was ridiculous.
    Can you think of a better way to discover if a man who says he is nine is actually so?
    What does a man do when he doesn’t have. a mortgage or a driving licence and needs to discover his age?
    I don’t believe you think this way from first principles. I think you’ve just learned the lingo.
    Nobody thinks like this except a robot who’s never seen a man or a nine year old and who doesn’t know the difference or understand.
