What a terrible representative of the people.
After she got the boot from the UCP party for her comments, she was elected as an independent.
She is a true representative of the shit-cookie lovin' people.
Oh my fucking god the poop cookie is a Mormon lesson. She's gotta be Mormon.
Poop cookie? What...?
It's a lesson taught by some religious (e.g. Sunday School) teachers. It goes something like asking a group of kids "well you don't want to eat a cookie that has just a little bit of poop, would you?" Relating it to some "worldly" practice, from my hazy ADHD memory I seem to remember it being swearing in my lessons, but there's many variations I heard from other people.
So the idea is "just 1" worldly thing is 1 too many and you must stay 100% pure for the big G.
In this case, she's saying the metaphorical poop in our society "cookie" is trans people existing.
It's utter christofascist puritanical horseshit.
Starting at the second sentence of the article:
Not just Mormons, I've heard it from Catholic Priests and from Baptists.
Interesting. Anecdotally from my time living in Northern Alberta there is a strong Mormon presence there. Where I live now in AB as well, there's quite a few small towns that are 90% Mormon or more. So I'm still inclined to believe that, but I have no real evidence other than my experience.
