It was always unsustainable. The only question was how long the LGBT political movement would bask in the glory of its inarguably successful obliteration of traditional societal norms and sexual mores before they took the time to notice. But with #LGBdroptheT trending on Twitter multiple times over the course of the last week or two, it seems apparent that at least in certain quarters, the revolutionaries are doing what revolutionaries always do: turn on each other.
I've written on more than one occasion about what far more people than just I have been anticipating for quite some time. Namely, the inevitable clash between gay ideology and transgender theory. Transgenderism relies entirely upon the non-existence of a gender binary, assuming a sliding scale of gender identity that denies there even is such thing as truly "male" or truly "female." Needless to say, there can be no gay man if there is no such thing as a man. There can be no lesbian if there is no such thing as a woman.
Beyond just that, the transgender movement has brought excess cultural baggage that involves the erasure of sex distinctions in athletics, public locker rooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, the denial of biological realities, coining of pretend pronouns with bizarre sounding names like zir, mix, and zhe, and even the attempted normalization of age-inappropriate drag performances for children.
None of that has anything to do with the original objectives, intents, and purposes of the lesbian, gay, and even bisexual equality movement. And it seems as though there is a growing, and increasingly vocal contingent of those individuals who have had enough.
That "slippery slope" admission is an interesting one. In the early days of opposition to the gay rights movement, conservatives warned that once traditional moral guideposts for sexuality were removed on the basis of emotional preferences, they could not later be arbitrarily thrown back down into the ground to deny other claims made upon the same basis. "Merry" is begrudgingly acknowledging that despite claims to the contrary, the conservative warning has indeed proved accurate.
Her embarrassment stems from how far it has gone.
There is also palpable anger surfacing from the transgender movement's appalling treatment of women and the entire concept of femininity.
Perhaps one of the most obvious examples of this is the silencing of women in athletics – from high school, through college, all the way to professional sports – a topic I've attempted to draw attention to on more than one occasion.
But it's important to note that the opposition isn't all superficial emotionalism. There's an emerging awareness of what I mentioned above – that trans ideology represents a fundamental threat to gay identity.
"Gay-denying" indeed. With such an awareness settling in, it's no wonder there is such anger manifesting within the alphabet alliance.
It's ironic, isn't it? As traditional conservatives, and even outspoken, high-profile Christian preachers publicly muse about potentially acquiescing to the reality-denying pronoun preferences, it's lesbian and gay activists demanding an end to the madness for the sake of our children.
Homosexuals say: I was born this way. This is how God made me -- if there is a God, this is the way He wanted me to be. I am a man who is attracted to men. I cannot change who I am. It would be hugely offensive for a medical person to offer therapy to me to "help me change". I am what I am.
Transsexuals say: I was born wrong. God screwed up. I know better than God, and I know what I ought to be, which is different than what I am. I choose to change from man to woman (or vice versa) and medical people should assist me in making this change. If I could just change who I am, then I would be a happier and more well-adjusted person.
Homosexuals say: I am a man who is attracted to men. I have no interest in women. I want to be in a male-male relationship. Anyone who encourages me to "find a good woman" is offending me by suggesting that same-sex relationships are somehow "wrong".
Transsexuals say: I am a man who is attracted to men. I dream of being a woman so that I can be in a relationship of a man and woman, in which I am the woman and he is the man. That just feels like the right kind of relationship.
Everything about these two approaches is contradictory.
That flag says it all. Gay people are happy to be gay, then the TXYZ people force their way into their rainbow.
I know and am friends with several gay people. Some are happily married. Transgenderism does not fit in their world. It’s — plain and simple — a mental disease that no one, gay or otherwise, wants to have hijacking their lives…
Actually it’s incredible how the PC crowd has seriously been working on the language.
To wit you say drag queen is not transgender.
But first, note that “transgender” is a brand-new term, utilizing the more recent abuse of “gender”. We have 2 sexes, not genders. PC suddenly got all prim and prudish when it comes to words about sexuality. “Sex” became a bad word so they stopped using it.
So “transgender” came to encompass 2 different things: cross-dressers and actually transitioning physical people.
We used to call them “transvestites” and “transsexuals”, respectively. Don’t see those terms anymore. Somehow, “cross-dressing” became more acceptable though it had been used often. And “transgender” became the good word. And also morphed into covering 2 things.
Beware these commie NewSpeak pushers.
Yes, because everyone is confused by their confusion.
The current transgender trend is an increase in girls wanting to be the other “gender.” That is what made people recognize that something screwy was happening.
What is a Lucifer?
I dunno what the statement after your name is called, but it’s excellent!
I would miss the “Let’s Get Brandon To Quit In A hurry…” tie-in.
Or, "Sexual Weirdos and Mutilators are Us"
You mean the tagline?
Aren’t DEMONICRAts the ones pushing, “Follow the science”? Doesn’t the dichotomy in being trans-activists ever occur to them?
Indeed.
It doesn’t make sense no matter what way you look at it.
It provides exactly as I predicted: a means for hetero males to “identify” as something else, like a female, to get their hetero jollies.
Perfect. The screwiness goes full circle.
They don’t give a damn about “science” that ruins their worldview.
Turns out of all the issues we fight about, the only SOLID PROVEN science goes against liberal commie insanity. There is no question that a baby has a heartbeat within weeks of conception, it is life and it is human. There is no question there are ONLY 2 sexes of humans, to make that baby, and they CANNOT CHANGE.
Did you hear about forensic scientists saying “the problem with assigning sex?
https://www.sapiens.org/biology/transgender-intersex-forensic-anthropology/
The use of gender for sex started with a pedophile plastic surgeon who performed the first sex “change” surgery, which the patient didn’t accept when he grew up. Plastic surgeon was Dr John Money.
If Demonicrats decide to drop/downplay transgenders for votes, I will applaud.
My guess is prisons are enforcing Newspeak: enforced pronouns.
My guess is the replacement of the Pride in Sin flag is driving lots of the DropTheT crowd.
Yep. My FR lingo knowledge is lacking.
A match.
I used to have a gay friend, and when we wanted to go outside and smoke together, one of us would say, ‘You want to go out and blow a fag?’.
(This will probably be zotted...but that’s ok.)
