Their provocation is indeed to victimize us like at a TSA airport check, except here it is our thoughts and PC, feeling observed for what we say, an absolute tyranny I cannot stand anymore.

This idea of not hurting their feelings has become as tyrannical as when islamics demand everyone to respect their ramadan, or the church of old causing people to fear talking about sex or seeing a doctor about some sexual health problem.

See, we are not compassionate enough, in their minds, when we retaliate and fight back , because somehow we fail to love them perfectly when we confront their wrong ways which hurt them, their environment (if there was a real global warming, it is it), and others.

By comparison, transgender as promoted today is a deadly earnest attempt to abolish gender altogether.

I guess those folks really believe that God erred in creating genders. Boy, will THEY be in for a surprise on day.

What is a liberal intellectual?

Is that like a unicorn?

Way too many words to say something very simple. Two sexes, you don’t have a choice. Deal with it.

The progressive agenda involves the denial of reality. They deny human nature, science, economics and the benefits of traditional society. At that same time they ignore the tangible results of their beliefs and reject verifiable results that contradict their agenda.

We used to call that kind of approach to reality a “cult”.

Everyone should be treated with compassion if a person wants to live like Christ


And there is nothing compassionate about fostering, promoting and celebrating mental illness. Gender disphoria is listed as a mental disorder in the DSM.

These people need help.

Ponderous objectivity that every progressive should read, but won’t.
We spend most of our time preaching to the choir.
