"...one day he decides he is a walrus..." (Read it all!)

Facebook link Harriett Lublin 
HT Stuart Sullivan--"You know, when we went to Florida, our 7 year old expressed the desire to be an alligator. 
It was really heart-breaking to leave him there in the swamp, but, a 7 year old is mature enough to know what he really wants...sarcasm."

Jeffrey S Malashock  link  From my friend Neil Chernoff
"Matt Walsh wrote a book called, "Johnny the Walrus"
It is about a boy who imagines himself as many things, but one day he decides he is a walrus. [The rest is spoilers -- but you are not going to pay $18 for a comic book that is 30 pages long anyway.]
The "internet" people then decide that Johnny should be allowed (in fact pressured) to be an actual walrus. 
His mother, feeling pressured takes him to a doctor who prescribes worms and grey makeup, followed by a minor procedure to change his hands into fins so he can be an actual walrus...
There is no "trans" here except in metaphor.
...And yet the staff at Amazon were massively triggered.  One guy crying because the, "book teaches children to 'kill transgenders' or 'bully them into committing suicide'" ..Read all!!
