"Trans" is a sacred category for the Social Justice left-liberals now, meaning it is "set apart" and cannot be debated or abandoned, cannot be compromised, it must be defended like a citadel is defended from foreign attackers.
And the lie is too big to be swept under the rug, the Trans movement and its supporters have been complicit in the castration and mutilation of thousands of children, not to mention that at the apex of their coalition are the rich white coastal elite, many of whom have a Trans or "NB" child, as this is the must-have item for our age of conspicuous compassion and the ultimate status marker to show how cool, tolerant and un-MAGA you are.
There is no way back and no way out here, no matter how many elections it costs the Dems. Something you consider sacred is more important than any party, politician or election.
What happened to the term transexual? Why has the LGBTQ community stopped using it?
..."age of conspicuous compassion and the ultimate status marker to show how cool, tolerant and un-MAGA you are." This is oh so true. How many stars parade their young children in front of the world proving how they are so tolerant and cool. How sad for these kids.
The Gender Revolution, launched by the Gender wing of the neo-Marxist Critical Studies Depts, is a project designed to tear down the mammalian sex binary, which they consider an illegitimate imposition designed by men to oppress women and sexual minorities, and replace Sex—a hard scientific reality—with Gender—essentially a gnostic mood ring where anyone can be anything, as long as they say the magic incantation ("I feel like a man/woman") and as long as they perform transgression against traditional sex roles. (That the Gender movement reifies the worst of the old sex stereotypes—"Joey paints his nails and wears dresses, quick get him on hormones!"—is a contradiction they prefer to ignore.)
Thus "gender" has to replace "sex" everywhere, as sex is oppressive and needs to be destroyed in the name of Social Justice—and voila! "transsexual" is erased in favor of "transgender".
The Gender people are terrible thinkers and even worse writers, but when it comes to political propaganda and power schemes, they are masters.
The trans project seems geared to force people to reject reality in favor of pronouncements from the regime. Why the massive effort to force recognition of “trans women” on society? It is the equivalent of getting people to agree that 2+2=5. Once people have crossed that barrier imposed by reality, progressives will be in total control. It’s their final frontier.
I mostly agree, but the progs are VERY creative at coming up with new frontiers. Black people were the ultimate prog totems, now they have been backgrounded, unless they are also men pretending to be women.
To every man who stands up for us, I am forever grateful to you. I am sad to say that many of our own (women) have gladly thrown us under the bus for their own benefit of being progressively moronic.
Indeed. Many women here in Australia, who call themselves feminists, spend a hell of a lot of energy trying to convince us that a man who says he's a woman should have women's rights and access to women's spaces. The irony is too much to comprehend. The total opposite to Progress.
Thank you for writing about this Brad. I still think the average person has no idea this is really happening, bc it's so nonsensical.
Same is true here in Portland. The funniest part of it is that these so-called feminists deride other women as "patriarchal" for resisting trans misogyny.
They have. Women are the most cruel, cynical, underhanded, manipulative species on the earth. It's why I don't trust women when there is an over-abundance in leadership for the country, hr, or any role where emotions can crowd out logic. But, to have to compete with men, too? I mean, it's ridiculous.
As far as I know, HR has been a pink collar ghetto since early in its history, or at least has been for many years. They haven't been regarded as part of the operation of businesses, but were there to help their companies be compliant with regulations, to hire and fire people, select benefit packages and other personnel matters. HR execs were paid less than the more operational executives. The DEI racket has been quite the moment in the sun for the HR departments.
Maybe I’ll just decide I’m a black male, even though I’m of Irish descent and have personally given birth to four children. Why not? Down is up, up is down nowadays, and if that’s what I want to be, then I guess that’s what I’ll be. And, wait a minute, aren’t these the same people who said “Trust the Science “ about the life killing covid vaccines? So I’m supposed to trust the science when it’s covid, but if someone “feels “ they’re a woman, just go with it? Even if they’re 6’ 2” and built like a linebacker? Wow, that’s a lot of “trust “ there.
The left is basically pushing forward the mentally ill to a position of social status dominance.
I know why.
It is because the left is female and females tend to be emotionally disordered. So if we have to accept the insane, we will obviously have to accept the emotionally disordered.
I don't buy your argument about "females tend to be emotionally disordered". In fact, I would suggest that men who think females tend to be emotionally disordered are THEMSELVES emotionally disordered... specifically, that they are macho a******s. There is far too much support for traditional patriarchy in those opposing the current progressive madness. Just because the current madness is wrong doesn't make patriarchy right. There are many more ways to be wrong than to be right.
I refuse to accept the left's insanity as my reality. No matter what doctors, scientists, courts, governments, or groups holds as Holy. My own beliefs, values, and norms are sacred to me. But the left cannot accept logic or ethics without perversion. Perversions which I cannot accept making me intolerant to the left's insanity.
Thanks for a great article Brad! Women, those who have two x chromosomes, you know, REAL women, should be absolutely up in arms about transgender nonsense, in the vein of J. K. Rowling. My favorite? You can be a transgender female, but when you get to be 55-65 your prostate is going to start giving you trouble. They are denying their own reality; like the Dungeon Master, "I reject your reality and substitute my own" or "sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't." It's pretty much that simple, and that dumb. Of course, they expect the rest of us to fall in line. I was shocked (why, I'm not sure) when I read about the woman who was disqualified in the fencing match. I know, I'm naive old fool but the treatment she recieved was wrong. Yep, the times are indeed interesting, so aren't we lucky?
Really outstanding piece, Brad. I absolutely love it, and am recommending it to anyone who just can't understand why I am not "kind" towards the male losers and cheaters taking over every space they can push their way into.
We have to speak up against the lunacy and point out that their continued pursuit of access to minors is a clear sign of ill intentions. In Weimar and certain British circles, wearing the opposite sex's clothing was a big deal... but no one thought Marlene Dietrich was a guy... including Marlene herself. She saw what she was as a cool form of femininity, not a bogus form of masculinity. I believe British Rail still allows cross-dressers to have two passes... one with them dressed as a man and one with them dressed as a woman. They're cross-connected so they don't count double or let two people use one person's pass as if they were different people.
Yep...corruption of kids with this nonsense is a very serious and urgent problem, not just in the dangers inherent in confusing them about who they are, but in teaching them to ignore their instincts/reality and thus corrupt their boundaries.
I asked Grok if there were studies comparing the numbers of men becoming “trans women” to women becoming “trans men”. At first, it said, it seems the former were way more common, but recently, Grok says that’s changed and there is parity, allegedly. That might be something to explore. In sports, the rise of the “trans women” is for obvious reasons—win all the prizes and conquer. I.e. misogyny, straight up (thanks Jeanine!). What would be the similar playbook for women becoming “trans men”, though? Is it a strategy of self-defense in a world where women are increasingly victims of violent crime maybe? Or would there be other reasons? There is clearly something going on and it’s a reaction to external stimuli. But what stimuli? Not just peer pressure and MSM. Something is driving this. On purpose to destroy lives. More and more I feel it’s like the Tuskegee experiments. It’s on purpose and it needs to be stopped and the perpetrators need to pay.
It's not going away in part because Courts are going to strike down any part at least on Trump to end the evil. Parents need to start growing a pair. I can assure you back in the 1970s if any teacher tried to dress up someone's boy as a girl they would have been met in the school parking lot with parents and bats.
As far as adults, while gender affirming care is a scam I also don't want the nanny state taking over. If an adult cuts off their parts and then live to regret it that's called the consequences of making life decisions. But that's aside from men trying to enter women's spaces and compete with them in athletics. Stay the f out creep.
It's interesting how the extreme left always seems to answer "both" to any binary either-or choice. You can either have unlimited migration or a welfare state, you can have either protections for women or unlimited self-id for mentally ill men, you can either have feminism/LGB or Islam. Their answer is always "let's try both". This gets really interesting as their games get to be more and more zero sum and the contradictions become too hard to ignore even for the true believers, perhaps with the exception of those who think there is no truth but power. It's really fun seeing them fight amongst themselves.
Trans is the new leftist purse-puppy and the entire leftist diaspora is about weaponized mental illness, so this endless, deranged parade of theater-kid tantrums will go on. The Right just needs to isolate ourselves and our families from these dangerous people and let nature take its course.
Once the trans fad is over, YOU KNOW the Left will blame the Right for this just like they skirt responsibility for every atrocity they've ever been involved in. They'll literally just spread the fake news that it was actually "far-right agitators" that got these poor people to butcher themselves. Get ready for that.

Absolute respect to women athletes who courageously refuse to compete with transistors.....

Are you trans?
No. Trans is crazy fodder.

Fortunately, there are some states and cities that don't accommodate this foolishness.
