Remember when Joseph Backholm, director of the Family Policy Institute of Washington State, ventured onto the University of Washington campus and told them that he was a Chinese woman? Remember the idiocy that ensued from these students who went to absurd lengths not to offend him, and tell him that his identity as an Asian woman was fine? Well, that lunacy has gone international. In Sweden, a Swedish woman told students at Södertörn University that she was a 6’6” Japanese man. These students also went to great lengths to avoid saying what is an absolute fact; that this woman is not six-foot, she’s not a man, and she’s not Japanese. Hence, the underlying theme within the world of identity politics: it’s completely detached from reality.
When asked about their reactions if she were to tell them that she’s a man, Japanese, over six-foot, a seven-year old, and someone who plans to re-enroll back into primary school—most of the students seemed fine with it.
“If I say that I am Japanese, what would you say?” asked the woman.
“Uh, I don’t know,” says the student.
“You don’t look Japanese, so to speak. I might ask some questions,” said another.
The woman continues by saying, “You can see me as a man, but you are unsure if I could be Japanese. Why?”
“Yes, not at first.” But if you say you are a man, then I would say OK,” replied one of the interviewees.
Like at the University of Washington, students had a nonchalant attitude towards things are just in keeping with basic facts and reality. You are either over six-foot, or you’re not. There’s not well, if you feel that way, whom am I to judge. That’s nurturing and enabling a detached reality.
Luckily, there was some sense of hope. When pressing folks about being seven years old, which they annoyingly accepted, the woman asks, “if I feel like seven-years old, should I get to date seven-year old boys and girls?”
“There I said no,” said the student. “That you feel seven is one thing, but what you in fact is an entirely different matter.” Alas, pedophilia seems to be the red line, where reality triumphs over so-called identity politics.
At the same time, you still need an avalanche of Advil to get through this nonsensical drivel. How can one have a discussion with a person who thinks it’s okay to accept someone who is male, Asian, prepubescent, and over six-foot? You can’t. It’s sheer idiocy. Biology and ethnic/racial composition are quite concrete things in life and society. If that weren’t the case, then “suspect classes” wouldn’t be a thing to take into account regarding 14th Amendment protections.

Little did you know it wasn’t a fairy tale.
“Alas, pedophilia seems to be the red line, where reality triumphs over so-called identity politics.”
Give it time.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I really think so.
Excellent way to point out the fallacy.
the underlying issue is conflict resolution. Remember, they were told, as children, that nothing is wrong, only different. It manifests itself in many forms, but it’s still one of the root drivers of the Juicebox Generation.
Though I am a white male and work 40-50 hours/week, can I self-identify as an unemployed black teen girl with 3 kids and collect welfare and food stamps?
Though I am a natural born citizen of these United States, can I self-identify as a Mexican unaccompanied youth and get Gov monies?
Though I did not buy a lottery ticket, can I self-identify as the owner of the winning ticket and collect the prize?
Argumentum ad absurdum. The left has reduced public discourse to a children’s game.
An unintended consequence of shutting down mental institutions. In the past, people would go to great lengths to avoid any perception that they were totally wacko and should be committed. Today? Not a consideration.
Marxism has been replaced with Cultural Marxism, which is part of Critical Theory (remember, Obama taught Critical Race Theory while a lecturer at Univ of Chicago.)
Herbert Marcuse in 1965 wrote "Represive Tolerance." Here is a sample:
The small and powerless minorities which struggle against the force conciousness and its beneficiaries must be helped. There continued existence is more important than the preservation of abused rights and liberties which grant constitutional powers to those who oppresed these minorities.
Social justice, neoprogressivism, feminism and post-colonialism, to name but a few, are all momvements born out of critical theory and thus come under the umbrella of Cultural Marxism. Be its agenda family, sexual orientation, race, culture or religion, every aspect of a persons identity questioned, every norm or standard of a society challenged and ideally altered in order to benefit supposedly oppresed groups.
Classical Marxism saw class conflict between the bougiosie and the proletariet, the haves and the have nots. Cultural Marxism sees that conflict between the oppersers and the opperessed. Those with priveledge and those without it. The working class has been replaced by minorities. The majority group is labeled the oppressors and the minority group the oppressed. Heterosexuals are oppressive, one-gender people are oppressive, whites are oppressive (especially white men), Christians are oppressive. Those that don't fit into these groups are thus considered oppressed.
You stated it perfectly. The real problem now is when you are handed a form to fill out, just fill it in the way you want and sign under perjury and when caught just say, Prove to me I’m not telling the truth. Truth is whatever I say it is.
So, if I self identify as a narcissistic socialist black male – can I use the White House bathroom?
Our indoctrinating politically correct institutions of higher learning are creating a bunch of brain dead clowns.
Society is screwed.
