Ever since Pelosi and her fellow Congresspeople "took the knee" in Kwanzaa garb in front of a camera, I have become immune to whatever idiotic gestures and shows the Government here puts on. It's all one. They don't represent me. And increasingly I fail to be able to identify anyone they do seem to represent.
I found it ironic that the Kente cloth they chose to don was the traditional garb of the tribe in west Africa who got rich selling African slaves to Europeans. That's how they could afford the silk from which the cloth is traditionally made.
Actually, since it’s an exercise in demonstrating compliance and adherence to CoReCt tHiNkiNg, nothing will ever be enough.
You must “celebrate” children being taught how to perform oral sex on a dido (“Gender Queer”). (You’re not a book banning Nazi, are you?)
You must “promote was” seething psychotics like Jeffery Marsh, openly and vindictively threatening parents with the indoctrination of your young children.
You must be very wary of what you (or your child) say to your child’s pediatrician (especially if you live in California or Canada) because the slightest hesitation to feed your child into the (literal) castration meat grinder could cost you custody (and cost your child far more.)
Every day there’s another requirement, so keep an eye on social media to keep current - don’t want to inadvertently forget to throw a couple of bags of those white “trans skittles” in your cart at the grocery store.
It's a nightmare that I fear many families will never wake up from. I keep seeing this Tweet about how the CA family court system is trafficking children (!!!) and I just can't bring myself to look into it, it's too dark. Leaving the US was the best decision I ever made.
I am now, as a resident of California, officially extremely nervous about taking my perfectly normal 12 year old daughter to a pediatrician appointment. In this state, at the age of 12, the pediatrician now takes the child into an exam room alone to “ask them some questions “. My close friend took her 12 year old daughter for a checkup about 2 weeks ago. The doctor was wearing several pride flag buttons on her white doctor’s coat. The doctor refused to tell my friend what this private discussion was going to include. My friend said “well, since you won’t tell me what you are going to discuss with my daughter and I can’t help but notice the buttons on your jacket, I’ll go ahead and make an educated guess. So, we are getting out of this office and will never be back”. My daughter’s upcoming appointment is with the same doctor. I’m canceling the appointment on Monday. So, that’s where things stand for a couple of conservative Catholic mothers in California. We are on our own and just hope our daughters stay healthy. Absolutely ridiculous. And dangerous.
OMG, I’m literally shaking, thinking about having my child taken away, even regardless of my child’s wishes, utterly dismissing me with that level of disgust. By some arrogant indoctrination agent wearing multiple grooming pins, clearly signaling their power and intention to take your child from you - for a few minutes, or for good.
This is absolutely beyond comprehension. Thank God your daughters have strong mothers - although you’ll have to be clever as well as strong, since the laws are clearly against you.
I would go to the American College of Pediatricians for a recommendation - they are conservative in their views - they state as a policy that they specifically oppose what happened to your friend. “Adolescent Confidentiality.“
I don’t know if there are any in California - they don’t list their doctors (because they’ll be targeted by the LGBTQIA+ mafia. The group already has been.)
I know you must have a stunning reason to be there, so I won’t plead with you to get out before they take your child, but for God’s sake be careful.
I agree with you, Jenny. I think trans folks are being used as "tools" by our global elites, whom I often refer to as the Puppet Masters. I may be wrong, but here's my hypothesis: When the Puppet Masters have finally decided that it's time to come out from behind the curtain and fully reveal "We Are Now Completely In Control of This Planet and You Must Comply ... or Else," I think they may begin to put to death all of their "human tools," claiming at that point that they're doing so in order to promote "morality." And, yes, I think it's also true that the Puppet Masters want to drastically cull our human population (and the current Trans Movement helps with that plan, too), but I think their human trans "sexual tools" are akin to pigs who are currently being fattened for slaughter. The trans community needs to wake up and recognize they're being used for a nefarious purpose, and once they have served that purpose the Puppet Masters won't need them anymore because you can't have complete control over a population while there's still a massive amount of chaos in the world. The Puppet Masters no longer want females having babies because they want to be in complete control of human reproduction. This is why women's rights are being eroded (in large part by the Puppet Masters' "trans tools" who are shouting down protesting women in public, entering women's safe spaces to show off their erections, raping women in prisons, etc.). This is also why the Puppet Masters want as many girls as possible to transitioning into "becoming a man." Each transitioning female is one less female who may get pregnant in the future. The saddest thing of all, to me, however, is what the Puppet Masters have done to the trans community. I had two transgender friends, back in graduate school, and I applauded their efforts to transition. I told them they were very brave to transition, and I would have done anything to defend them. But now, sadly, whenever I think of the word "trans" my mind goes to this definition: "People who are being manipulated by the Puppet Masters in order to increase chaos and to promote sterilization across humanity." I'm sure my two transgender friends from graduate school would be very, very disappointed in me; but if that's the case, they need to recognize that transgender folks are no longer what they used to be. There was a quality of sweetness, humility, and great depth of character to my transgender friends of old that seems to be missing in the new breed of trans. But it's the Puppet Masters who have created this change. Transgender individuals need to regain their personal power and separate themselves, in a very public way, from the Puppet Masters' socially-engineered Trans Movement.
JENNY = I am a VERY senior citizen living in Mexico where most of us are just hoping we are able to hobble to the next meal BUT, even here, it is dangerous to speak ill of Pride or Democrats . Many have brought their "progressive" agendas with them and are holding on for dear life for fear,I suspect, that their grandchildren in the states or Canada will think grandma is an old fuddy duddy if they don't know what non-binary is.
The biggest disappoinntment for me - a retired pastor in a very progressive denomination - is how far down the Pride donut hole my church and its pastors have fallen. One took off a whole week in order to attend a Pride event in another city ,only to return to tell us all the wonderful things he learned.
. A chuch I attended in the midst of the 2020 riots in my city, put BLM on the front board in front of the church. I had read the BLM website and knew what they were about which wasn't exactly Christian. I wrote to the pastor and suggested that the book of Micah, for instance, had similar ideas aboout acceptance, etc and might be more appropriate, but got no response and the sign stayed until replaced by Pride flags. Christian Education in that church is now centered on all thngs from the alphabet soup of Pride Ithink often of what Jesus said - they know not what they do.
I would love to send this article to friends both in and out of the church, but given that I come from Portland,I would lose the few friends I have left. .
I have a theory about why this toxic ideology has found a foothold in some many supposedly conservative places. I think a lot more people than I realised have secret fetishes and/or other shameful desires and they so they feel safe and accepted by this movement that is trying to make us all deviant. They therefore have a powerful incentive to then support it. Instead of conquering their compulsions - which is something we all must learn to do, in one way or another, in order to mature -- they get to green light to indulge them. It's frighteningly powerful, this twisted acceptance.
It's VERY easy for a person living with religious restrictions at home to use "nonmember" friend-time as an excuse to ignore those restrictions. At first, it even feels liberating, and it's convenient to justify that feeling by telling yourself that the restrictions you were taught are all backward and old and just don't encompass all this other stuff you have now "discovered." That's a crock, but it's a tasty crock for a while.
Bullseye. I have to wonder why so many mature (by age) adults revolve around their fetishes. I'm a 1960 female baby and grew up through the sexual revolution. I was stupidly crazy in my teen and young adult days, but the frontal lobes finally matured by around 23 and I realized my actions were self-damaging and dangerous. One thing I never felt was a sense of nihilism, and I never gave up on a sense of commitment and purpose in life. Big Trans rests on pillars of nihilism and a turn away from the guidance and meaning attained through religion, and a shattering of committed family relationships. The climate hysteria feeds into this nihilism. There are very few articles about landfills and other types of pollution, other than CO2. Why work on cleaning up and making things better if we're doomed? Why have children if we're doomed? Why try and improve insect and pollinator populations if we're doomed? The plan is to keep everyone focused on their genitals, including children, so we can go down in one big Roman orgy.
I also think that it's that fear of being seen as 'conservative/right wing' (which now equates as 'far right/nazi') or as Dorothy above mentioned, being seen as a 'fuddy duddy' by the younger generation, especially as we get older. Like when an old person dresses like a 25 year old, gets botox and just doesn't want to look their age, maybe this is the ideological version of wanting to stay young and relevant. Learn all the correct terminology and opinions and you may well pass for a young person, or at least 'young at heart/cool/radical' Maybe some of it is down to ego, and trying to prove something. It's sad, because really we should be the ones teaching THEM, not vice versa. That's not to say we can't learn from younger people, who are generally more progressive (I know I was at their age!) But when they are the ones dictating the norms, and everyone is cowed into silence, it gets harder to turn around. I'm really hoping younger people start to question the speed of this increasingly more radical ideology. I have some hope. My daughter is 22 and very liberal, but even she is wary of indoctrination. When looking for universities in the U.K, she briefly considered Sussex university, but decided against it after I told her what happened to Kathleen Stock.
And I think that you are right - many people are probably convinced that if they don't support the gender ideology, they will be mocked or even rejected by their own children or grandchildren.
This attitude is happening within other ideological bubbles, too. A friend of mine who voted for Brexit told me he was treated like a social pariah by his nephews and nieces.
This is so depressing. Hopefully one day these young people will realize that they should not treat their family members in this way. Even if one disapproves of the views of a family member, it is not a reason to treat this family member like a pariah. But to be honest, I think that if one is rejected by such judgemental people, it is not a bad thing, even if they happen to be one's family members.
I personally have very few friends, but I have made it clear to them that I don't support transgenderism. Fortunately they don't support this nonsense either (and probably no one supports it in my family). Many people don't support it, but are afraid of saying what they really think.
YES!!! This is exactly my experience of this June phenomenon. “A show of power.” We’ll take it, and we’ll like it. It’s a motte and Bailey, isn’t it? The Bailey is the queering of default social norms. The upending of the norm part of heteronormativity. The motte is “Center the poor suffering marginalized!”
Well done, Jenny! Those pushing this have no idea what they want to build atop the rubble of what they're tearing down. Their rough awakening is slouching toward Bethlehem, waiting for the Chinese to take over.
There's a fun slide into colloquial dick jokes happening here that mirrors the whole Pride slide. It started sort of almost respectable, and has degenerated into MAH BUSSY!
Back in the 80’s research was being done to see the effect of violence and porn on viewers and on gamers. Unsurprisingly, if violent sexual activity is portrayed, humans become more violent. Springer and Oprah normalized aberrant sexuality.
Thank you Christine! Back when I was was covering the Middletown zoning board for ProJo East Bay I never in a million years thought I would write a piece like this one! 🤣🤣🤣
Ever since Pelosi and her fellow Congresspeople "took the knee" in Kwanzaa garb in front of a camera, I have become immune to whatever idiotic gestures and shows the Government here puts on. It's all one. They don't represent me. And increasingly I fail to be able to identify anyone they do seem to represent.
It's all theatre, part of politicians' continual panderdemic.
Panderdemic! Yes. Pandering, fawning -- it's all techniques of falsehood.
"Panderdemic". Thanks for that.
I found it ironic that the Kente cloth they chose to don was the traditional garb of the tribe in west Africa who got rich selling African slaves to Europeans. That's how they could afford the silk from which the cloth is traditionally made.

I feel sure you must have been one of those girls we gay boys confided in in high school. You speak and write "gay" (read: freakin' hilarious).
It's a serious piece about a serious thing, and I'm with you on it . But it's also damned fun prose.
Josh, thank you so much! I'm a fan of your podcast so I'm particularly pleased you enjoyed this! (And yes, I was one of those girls in high school🤣)

The western world has become Sodom and Gomorrah. Look at what happened to them.
Well done, Jenny! Those pushing this have no idea what they want to build atop the rubble of what they're tearing down. Their rough awakening is slouching toward Bethlehem, waiting for the Chinese to take over.
I fear that those pushing this do have an idea of what they want to build in place of the old ways, and it's terrifying.
Possibly the biggest "pushers" are the Pritzgers and their scary amounts of dough. Long trip down another rabbit (or glory) hole:

Then they sink from Willfully Ignorant to Evil. The former are like perverse rug rats; the latter are simply vermin.
It is well overtime that we remind ourselves of Psalm 33:12, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord..."
It is always so good to tune in to your sanity! Thanks for your well stated and thoughtful essay which I will be sharing.

Goya 'The Sleep of Reason brings forth Monsters'. He made rather a good etching of this maxim.
Our local museum in Belfast had a Goya exhibit a few years ago and it was incredible. Devastating work.
