"We're heading for a Misgendering Crisis"

[Hawkmoon]

Speaking of a misgendering crisis -- the Supreme Court just punted on the issue: https://apnews.com/article/us-supreme-court-courts-supreme-courts-government-and-politics-9b4cabc4e026d96d8f5492e03260985a

Unlike alcoholism, I think only a small minority believe that homosexuality and transgenderism is destructive, unhealthy, abnormal behavior.

They are all destructive and unhealthy behaviors.  Abnormal?  There is nothing more normal than people doing destructive, unhealthy things.

Christian civilization, following the Bible, always denounced these things, and for good reason.

Now, I have read that 14% of young people have declared themselves homosexual, bisexual or transgendered.  A married father and mother are the best for raising healthy children.  The results of America's embrace of these things is horrific and going to get much worse.

Even football is gay now.

The forced acceptance of the transgender foolishness is pretty much a fait accompli.

Next up ... consensual sex with minors.

Which makes it all the more odd that people can be goaded into fearing us.

On the other hand, I doubt a majority of Americans actually view transgenderism as healthy or normal. Or it's at least a very large minority, like in the 40s. I suspect the heterosexist minority is a bit larger than commonly believed, too. Just a hunch.

After decades of conditioning media consumers to ignore their natural disgust response to disgusting behavior they must have decided their methods weren't succesful enough. Having a fake and gay media wasn't enough. A fake and gay government was needed.

The perverts now have taken total control of public education and are teaching pornographic, perverted anti-morality to grade school/preteen children. Lowering the disgust threshold when still a child is much easier than training adults with a healthy normal sex response.

We have institutionalized the grooming of children with sexual pervisity and pedophilia. Our tax dollars at work  it's an abomonation. 

Humans are sheep. Your "majority" is going along to get along just as they have been programmed.

Normalizing/legalizing sex with underage children is next, if the country doesn't implode naturally or get destroyed first.

Ideas have consequences and we shouldn't be surprised when they are brought to their natural conclusions.

I have my doubts about it being a majority.  I think the politicians and big corporations are acceding to the demands of a loud and funded minority.  I suspect the failure of many is in not seeing it as a societal danger like they should along with others who recognize it, but don't know what to do about it other than try to vote the politicians out of office. 

There seems to be a lot more attempts by people to get active in school boards lately (at least in the news).  We will see where that goes.

In case anyone had any doubts on the insanity of all of this.

Here’s something: a white British “influencer” named Oli London now identifies as Korean, and has had multiple plastic surgeries to look like a member of Korean boy band BTS.

Being Transexual is the same as being TRANSRACIAL because you are born in the wrong body.

The western world has lost the ability to see and speak the truth (reality).

Count me out of all this goofy misgendering. I've got a good grip on what I am.

I gotta wonder what some of these kids are learning when they grow up.  It sounds like not very much. 

I also wonder who is paying for those surgeries.

In some cases, the VA: https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2021/06/19/va-to-offer-gender-surgery-to-transgender-vets-for-the-first-time/

[ConstitutionCowboy]

I'm actually not sure what my comeback line would be if someone were to ask me, "what my pronouns are". I'm thinking I'd either be dumbfounded and at a loss for words, or else coming back with an offensive, smartass reply.

Oh. You mean speaking the truth.

I thought the linked person was in Britain, but mainly "someone else".  If they had to pay for it themselves, I doubt they would have done it. 

[gunsmith]

me: I'm against abortion
her: you're a man, your opinion is moot, men can't have babies.
me: a man in the UK had a baby.
her: don't be stupid.
me: go ahead, look it up for yourself.
her: that's a dude!
me: wait, you're against transgender rights?
her:  blocked me on facebook lol

Enlighten me. I know a little Altar-Boy Latin and that made no sense.

Google translate was no help: "The word that God ignored them away to the man."

REF?  Besides the page citation.

[Ben]

As everything unravels and panic ensues, the magician Merlin cries out the book's greatest line: "Qui Verbum Dei contempserunt, eis auferetur etiam verbum hominis — They who have despised the Word of God, from them even the word of man shall be taken away."  It is the curse of Babel cast upon them.

It's from That Hideous Strength by CS Lewis.

That novel was practically prophetic in its foreshadowing of the type of humans and their organization style that would eventually seize power in the west.

Our institutions have built in structural evil, but the evil doesn't have anything to do with patriarchy or being "white".

^,^^

Oh, but of course.  I should have known. :eyeroll:  :face-palm: :derisive grin:

So thanks.

I'm outta this one for the simple reason that I can't understand how gayness can be destructive, since I've known a couple of openly gay people over the decades, and only one was a little over the top, destruction-wise.

And I never heard of a bunch of gays hanging a straight guy on a fence, beating him up, and leaving him to die.

As far as my simple 82 year old mind can tell, most of the destructiveness I've seen has been from passionately self-righteous straights, not from passionately self-righteous gays.

Maybe I'm just getting senile.

Live and let live.

Sort of a straw man there Terry.

Should I judge all gay men by the homosexual rape statistics in our jail system? How about judging them for the AIDs crises that can be laid at the feet of their widespread, rampant promiscuity?

How about I don't set up the straw man, but still look clear eyed at the reality?

Did you watch the video from Camille Paglia I posted?

This isn't about hating my friends gay son or my gay co-workers etc. It's not about hate at all actually. It's about what is good and true and how to actually "do" civilization.

Bringing up violence against gay folks is a non sequitur.

There is a bigger picture and many folks are swept up in the systemic evil.

I read that trilogy in high school.  I bought a new set not that long ago along with other classics like Brave New World,  Fahrenheit 451, and Animal Farm.  I need to put it in the queue to read again.
