Lost in Trans-lation
American Greatness ^ | 31 Mar, 2022 | Lloyd Billingsley

Deconstructing the reality dysphoria dialogue.

The satirical Babylon Bee recently selected Rachel Levine as its “first annual Man of the Year.” “Levine,” the Bee explained, “is the U.S. assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he proudly serves as the first man in that position to dress like a western cultural stereotype of a woman. He is also an admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. What a boss!”

Since announcing the award, the Bee added, “we’ve been told that Levine actually identifies as a woman. We have still chosen to give the award as his self-identification has no bearing on the truth. Congratulations, Rachel Levine.” Bruce Bawer, author of the 1993 book, A Place at the Table: The Gay Individual in American Society, recently offered a similar analysis in “The Great Consonant Shift.”

In 1998, when Bawer left New York for Europe, it had never occurred to him “to see gay and transgender people as part of the same community or movement or sharing a cause.” Bawer had spoken to hundreds of gay people about their lives and politics “but had never seen or heard the acronym LGBT.” As Bawer explained in “Gender Narcissism,” this was a problem.

“Being gay never had anything to do with being trans. Nothing. Nada.” Being gay, he explained, is “about whom you’re attracted to and fall in love with. To be trans—to think you were born into the wrong sex—is to suffer from gender dysphoria, which, until the current craze, was very rare.” Gender narcissism is now a craze, but according to Bawer, it’s not just about the narcissists “their own selves,” so to speak.

The transgender movement, “asks the general public to acknowledge an objective impossibility—namely the notion that subjective feelings alone

There is no truth except what the elites tell you to believe. WHAT?

If you call a dog’s tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?

there was healthy time,
when Rachelle would be recognized as being ill,
and would not be allowed to infect others with his illness.

now, like terrorists and election stealers,
the criminals and insane have taken control
as the sheeple await to be injected with poison du jour.

I had forgotten the clinical term for this form of mental illness, Gender Dysphoria. Probably not the first time in history that some kind of insanity has become fashionable. But I cannot think of any example, besides Caligula's rampages, where agreement with the delusion was forced on the general public through shaming and coercion. It's long past time to stand up to the bullying and call out these crazy bastards for what they are.

How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?

Four.


And if the party says that it is not four but five—then how many?

Four.

When lunacy and insanity is demanded or you be censored. You don’t have to believe the lies, but you must obediently assert them “true.” It’s not so much “virtue” signaling as obedience signaling, to our BigTech, Media and government feudal lords.

Today, if they tell you red is green, you must obediently assert it “true”... if tomorrow they proclaim red is yellow, you must assert it true, and yada, yada. Then you have achieved serfdom.

Isn’t this world great or not?

if a man pretends to be a police officer he’s locked up!

if a man walks on all fours through downtown claiming to be a tiger he’s sent to an insane asylum !

if a man pretends that he is a woman he is sent to Jeopardy where he is celebrated as a she-champion????
