The Real-World Consequences of Submitting to the Transgender Zeitgeist

Last week, a member of my Orthodox Jewish congregation approached me at synagogue to tell me a story. Many of the women in the congregation exercise at a females-only gym for modesty purposes. The gym is successful; its main constituency is religious women who don’t wish to be stared at by men, or to see men in various states of undress.

According to the congregation member, this month, a transgender woman — a biological male who suffers from gender dysphoria — came to the gym. This man, who retains his male biological characteristics, then entered the locker room and proceeded to disrobe. When told by management that he could use a private dressing room, he refused, announcing that he was a woman and could disrobe in front of all the other women.

The predictable result: Many of the actual biological women began cancelling their memberships. When the management asked people higher in the chain, they were simply told that to require the man to use a private dressing room or to reject his membership would subject the company to litigation and possible boycott. So the gym will simply have to lose its chief clientele because a man with a mental disorder believes he has the right to disrobe in front of women.

As it turns out, there are indeed public-policy consequences to the question of transgender pronouns. Those public-policy questions all revolve around a central issue: Can subjective perception trump objective observation? If the answer is yes, tyranny of the individual becomes the order of the day. We all must bow before the subjective wants, needs, and desires of people who require special protection from life’s realities. We must reeducate generations of people to ignore science in favor of feelings.

I do believe that gays of both sexes do have a biological cause of their sexual short circuit. No problem there.

But the transexuals have a mental problem. And they expect us to put up with it.

Globalism (The Left) is at war with objective reality. So far, they seem to be winning. Which is pretty amazing.

Hmm. My dysphoria says that I am actually a position higher in my company and that I should get the title and pay that goes with it.

I don't care if mgt says they can't afford the promotion. That's what I am, and they need to accommodate me.

From this post, yesterday:

“Until the day I die, my body will regard the vagina as a wound; as a result, it will require regular, painful attention to maintain.”

I had never heard that. Ever. It turns out, the Gay community doesn’t want to talk about that.

Which seems a valid reason, to repeat it...

:D

“I do believe that gays of both sexes do have a biological cause of their sexual short circuit.”

I don’t.....At least not until there’s hard proof of which presently there is scant little. Until I am shown different I believe they are both mental issues just of varying degrees.

[traderrob6]

Btw, many “mental problem’s” are rooted in “biological causes”.

....the gym will lose its chief clientele because a man with a mental disorder believes he has the right to disrobe in front of women.

That's it in a nutshell.......trannies have mental disorders.

I also believe these mental cases actually get off undressing in front of women.

Once gay marriage was legalized, it was inevitable the sexual fringe would be made normal, too.

The destruction of our social guardrails has had deleterious consequences.

LGBTQ equality was never what it was cracked up to be.

No... because SOCIETY has a mental disorder.

Uh?? Isn’t a mental problem biological as well. Or isn’t liking to screw a man’s butt a mental problem?

[Sacajaweau]

suffers from??

How about....pretending to be....

I'm not failing to appreciate the irony that liberal white upper-middle class women have been among the biggest drivers for political correctness and the SJW mindset since the late '60s and early '70s. It's good to see them finally hoist on their own petard as men with this mental issue (or men who've decided it's easier to work with the lower bars set for women) move into women's locker rooms, women's bathrooms and women's athletic events.

And by the rules they've insisted on for the rest of us, white liberal women can say nothing. Welcome to the madness you've helped create, ladies - oops, sorry, I shouldn't have assumed gender.

An absolute ban against penis’s in the ladies change room will solve the problem. It may be a female penis, doesn’t matter. Penis’s are outlawed on the premises. As a vaginal woman, your female penis offends me.

When enough normal members resign and go somewhere else the gym will close it’s doors. These places run on pretty tight margins so people really need to vote with their feet. Money Trump’s just about everything in business.

Suppose there is no “biological cause of “gayness”? Suppose it is merely psychological and emotional just as it is with transgenderization. Suppose same sex behavior isn’t sexual at all, but actually asexual. Suppose this aberrant behavior is actually simply pleasure seeking and really just requires an overactive and misguided imagination to carry out. The reproductive act can only be accomplished by a biological, anatomical, and genetic male and female pairing. Any other pairing, man/man, woman/woman, human/animal cannot result in the production of offspring hence it is pure sensual fantasy and not sexual.

The reason we have fallen down this rabbit hole is that we accepted the fallacy that same sex behavior is sexuality at all. Once we accept that lie, all the rest logically follows

[Walrus]

Here’s how it happened.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions .

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

To resolve the issue...how about we do DNA testing on those individuals that either want to Removeadikfrom me, and those who want an Adadictome and see where the X’s and Y’s fall?
