COOK COUNTY, Illinois, February 2, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – A 38-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting three girls eight and under said in his defense that he is really a “9-year-old trapped in an adult's body.”
This is apparently what the accused pedophile, Joseph Roman, told police in addition to admitting to some of the crimes, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Roman isn’t the only grown man to claim he is really a child trapped in his adult body.
Paul “Stefonknee” Wolscht is a Canadian father of seven who left his family to live as a six-year-old girl.
And a white woman who “identifies” as African-American, Rachel Dolezal, has brought attention to the plight of “transracial” people.
Columnist Stella Morabito foresaw “trans-ageism” as the transgender craze kicked off a few years ago, noting age, like sex, is something that is “assigned at birth.”
There is a “total lack of equal protection for those whose self-perception of their age does not match up with the socially constructed date they were assigned at birth,” Morabito wrote at The Federalist.
“Think of the 12-year-old who self-identifies as 19, but is stuck in a middle-school classroom,” she wrote. “Think also of the 58-year-old who knows she is 75 but is ineligible for Social Security, and must suffer loss of benefits in silence.”
“To codify self-perceptions as protected traits requires that the rule of law give way to as many different interpretations of perceptions as there are people perceiving and being perceived,” Morabito observed in 2014. “Such Orwellian distortions of language always serve as recipes for tyranny.”
