Trans Mission
A distraction, yes, from the loss of our freedom, but a very nasty distraction, nonetheless...
So.
Is it now going to be “Trannie Get Your Gun”?
If that is the scenario that is going to play out as the trans movement grows more aggressive in its demands, then a certain demographic that comprises about .001 of the population is about to be in for a very rude awakening.
There are way more of “us” than there are of “them”…even if you include “their” sycophants and hangers-on. Some may be cowed by the aggressive nihilism of transsexuals, transvestites, drag queens, and their rainbow-haired cohorts. But I suspect sooner rather than later, the violence these (mostly) pseudo-women, i.e., men, inflict on actual, ya know, women for daring to stand up for decency and rationality and common sense will be returned to them ten-fold.
How did Sean Connery phrase it in The Untouchables?
“He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.”
The truth, of course, is that on a fundamental level, I don’t care if an adult man thinks he is a woman or an adult woman thinks she is a man or if they want to cut up and rearrange their body parts. I don’t give a fig if a guy wants to dress up in women’s clothes and pretend he’s a women. I could not care less if a transvestite wants to get on stage and do whatever for an audience of willing adults.
Do whatever the hell you want.
But don’t drag me into your weirdness.
I will do nothing involving the government to stop anyone from doing anything peaceful with his or her life.
On a personal level, I might well express my disdain for certain behaviors or, in extreme circumstances, protest or speak out publicly about actions that deserve condemnation.
But that’s it.
HOWEVER—and it’s a big “however”—when activists go beyond the exercise of their actual rights and insist, indeed, demand, that I not just tolerate what they are doing—which I do—but that I accept them and their behavior, no matter how deviant and repugnant, and, worse, that I support, approve, and applaud them…and if I don’t, well, then, by golly, they’ll use the guns of the government to force me to do so, that is where I draw the crimson line in the sand.
I don’t want any of this—including alphabet garbage—shoved in my face. I don’t want every single fricking television show, movie, book, and so on cramming in some variant of a gay character into their plots in order to check off a box and virtue signal to their buddies. I don’t want “identity politics” to define whether a piece of art will even be considered for an award. I don’t want the government stealing my money and deciding that the only people who will be eligible to receive that wealth robbed from me are those of a “preferred” color or sex or sexual orientation.
Our country spent most of the Twentieth Century seeking to establish the principle that we should judge folks based on their character rather than their skin color or other irrelevant traits, and where do we end up? With politicians and colleges and businesses and more pushing dorms and programs and organizations that deliberately exclude people of the “wrong” color, i.e., WHITE, or the “wrong” sexual preference, i.e., STRAIGHT.
It’s disgusting, disheartening, and disturbing.
And to be absolutely clear here, all this garbage that is pumped up by the media and the arts and business and government is just there to distract us from the real dangers we face.
Call the goal tyranny or totalitarianism or dictatorship. Call it whatever you want. But all this secondary foolishness about race and sex and immigrants and drugs and the rest is simply there to keep us stirred up and preoccupied so we don’t focus on the real end game: the loss of our freedom and the collapse of Western civilization.
While the decent people of the world who just want to be left alone are frantically zooming from one flaming issue to another as they attempt to put out a never-ending string of brush fires, our real enemies quietly slip one more link onto the chain they are forging to tie us down in helpless servitude.
To them, we are meaningless means to their grand vision: complete and utter control over mankind.
Dogs and squirrels…
A new breed of Vandals is wreaking havoc throughout our culture.
We get the sickly warped spectacle of cultural nihilists like Neil Druckmann of Naughty Dog games—once one of the most respected game companies out there—creepily obsessed with young girls engaging in lesbian sex, with transsexuals, with roided-up man-women, with emasculated “men” stripped of their masculinity and agency, with the ugly, the weak, the debased, the deviant.
He views his narcissistic devotion to destruction—and himself…—as “heroic” and “insightful” and, gosh-darn-it!, super-duper wonderful! People such as he are lost causes who view their aberrancy as triumphant trophies to be celebrated and rejoiced.
You can judge for yourself what this twisted focus says about who he and his like-minded “creators” are as human beings…
He certainly has hordes of lost soulmates:
Politicians
Judges
Educators
Entertainers
Medical leaders
Business owners
Athletes
Trans people, especially men pretending to be women, tout their piety all the while verbally attacking and supplanting women in a variety of life’s arenas: winning sports events against women, being given awards designed for women, taking over roles in entertainment that should be reserved for women.
The rot runs deep. The trans infection has led to the following and more:
Parents who won’t let newborns be identified as—not even “assigned”—a sex at birth. Newborns become “theybabies,” “gender neutral” beings, as parents say they will let their babies “decide” later in life what sex they “are”…
Trans protestors invading state capitol buildings but not being arrested or called “insurrectionists.”
Trans crowds physically assaulting women—who are trying to stand up for real women—and others who disagree with their slimy agendas while police stand by and do nothing.
Trans people and trans supporters pushing statist and collectivist goals without regard for the rights of others.
Transvestites and drag queens sexualizing children by dancing and stripping in front of them and exposing them to sexual behavior that is completely inappropriate for kids their age.
Male prisoners pretending to be women so they can be sent to women’s prisons where they then rape and/or impregnate female prisoners.
Men posing as pseudo-women, invading women’s bathrooms and dressing rooms, in the latter situations exposing their male genitals to females of all ages, behavior that in other situations would get them arrested.
Normalizing aberrant behavior by having transvestites read to children in libraries, by physically interacting in sexual ways with impressionable toddlers and children, by having them appear on television shows, by inserting them into aspects of culture where they do not belong.
Physically and chemically mutilating minors suffering from mental problems; a parent raising grade school kids as though they are a different sex and denying the other parent any say; claiming that kids are capable of deciding such permanent alterations when they are legally forbidden from making far less drastic choices such as getting a tattoo.
Pushing porn on children in books stocked in government-run school libraries with content so explicit and inappropriate that parents meeting with school board members are prevented from reading aloud what their children have easy access to.
Teachers hiding “gender decisions” from parents and aiding confused students with unwarranted “transitions.”
The mission of the current trans community dovetails neatly with that overall goal of statists and collectivists and mystics: undermine reality, reason, truth, facts, evidence, objectivity, rights, morality, and, as I said, ultimately Western civilization.
From bowdlerizing books to make them more “acceptable” and “inoffensive”; to race and sex swapping men and women in movies and comics to provide “representation”; to denying the reality of biological sex; to obliterating the definition of women themselves with the utter craziness of asserting that fake-men are able to become pregnant, menstruate, need tampons, and breastfeed babies: it’s nonsense on stilts.
But the Law of Identity will not and cannot be denied: at any given time and context, an entity is what it is.
A is A. A ≠ B.
Calling a tail on a donkey a leg does not mean that a donkey suddenly has five legs.
What you label something does not in and of itself have anything to do with what that thing is.
Pretending that one’s wishes or desires or arbitrary assertions are what determines what is real and what is fantasy is the essence of the Subjectivist Fallacy: stating that X is true simply because one wants or believes X is true.
Wanting X does not make or prove that X is true.
Proclaiming that X is real is neither evidence nor proof that X is real.
Pointing a gun at the heads of unbelievers (an Appeal to Force fallacy) to gain compliance does not make X real.
Appealing to emotions or self-anointed “authorities” or trying to intimidate people into agreement or pretending that most people believe X or assuming that X is real therefore it is or using any other faulty logic does not make X true.
Throw in definition by nonessentials—that if, for example, a man looks or acts or dresses like a woman or if he cuts off his penis and has a fake vagina made or takes estrogen to give him breasts, then he is a “woman”—and you have the trans BS that has spread across and infected the country like a sick fog.
I mean…Jesus…fake women—men—being paid to play dress up and advertise beer and women’s clothing and makeup and who the hell knows what else…
The statist and collectivist trans people who want the rest of us to “affirm” their “identities”—and they are mostly, though not solely, men pulling this scam—are asking us to affirm their denial of reality. They want us to “pretend” that they are a sex they are not. They want us to treat them socially—and to hell with their “preferred ‘pronouns’”—as a sex they are not. They want us to enable them to masquerade as who and what they are not so they can wallow in their mental problems rather than get those shortcomings treated.
“Affirming” their “identities” is affirming that their psychological issues do not exist.
But they do.
You are not merely being “polite” when you agree to use someone’s “preferred” pronouns. You are agreeing with and reinforcing the utter insanity that A can be not-A. You are propping up a lie. YOU are lying. You are lying to the world, to the sick person in question, to your neighbors, to yourself.
This is yet another break in rationality, in devotion to the truth and to reality, a disconnect in and betrayal of your own honesty and integrity and independence.
You are placating people who do not deserve to be placated, who deny reality and want to force the rest of us to destroy our minds by doing so, as well.
Obliterate reason, and you erase the very trait that makes you human.
If a man said, “I don’t feel comfortable acting as a traditional man is expected to act. I feel better when I mimic female looks and behavior and dress. I know I will never be an actual woman, but I will be happier, I think, if I act like a woman and try to fit into traditional female roles,” I could, at least, respect him for acknowledging reality and not asking—or demanding!—that I participate in his delusion or illusion.
But that’s not the general situation with which we are dealing these days. The attitudes of most trans folks and their cheerleaders are far more sinister than that.
Trans folks want to transmit their warped views of reality to the rest of us. Better, though, for us to tune out their lies and hold firmly to the truth.
**sigh**
These controversies are all part of the wedge our enemies are wielding to break apart freedom and rights and morality.
For your own sake, for the sake of reality, for the sake of a worthwhile culture and civilization, don’t “go along to get along.” Don’t be a social metaphysician, a second-hander who looks to other people rather than to reality. Use your own judgment in correspondence with reality to guide your choices, your actions, your view of what is true or false.
Just say “no.”
Quit saying “they/them/their” when it is crystal clear that it is a single person who, for example, is “she/her/hers” as with the woman who murdered three children and three adults at a Christian school.
Don’t even use “they/them/their” just because the sex of the antecedent is unknown. Rephrase or use “he/she” or “his/her.”
Don’t use the language of our opponents that subverts thought, for this issue or for anything else, whether it’s anti-self-defense bigots who appeal to “gun” control and “gun violence” or eco-fascists who yammer on about “climate change” and “carbon” or the appeasers who use “public” schools rather than the proper phrase, “government-run” schools.
Don’t grant them an inch. They gain that inch, and they think they are your rulers.
Such seemingly small and innocuous concessions are insidious. Each violation of reason, each subtle denial of reality pollutes your thought processes and makes the next transgression easier to occur and to accept.
I don’t care what someone’s irrational, anti-reality, self-delusional subjectivism wants or demands. Reality alone is my touchstone, the only proper standard for living, the one thing we need if we are to survive and flourish.
Never sell the truth—or yourself—short.
