Disingenuous people keep asking why conservatives are “obsessed” with the Trans movement. They imagine that we are on some rage fueled bender, triggered by our deep-seated anxiety over our own closeted sexuality.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I assure you that is not the case for me.
My “obsession” stems from a few key points that SHOULDN’T be too difficult for any rational person to understand, which is why they will probably never get it.
The Trans movement is, at it’s very core, an anti-reality movement. It is not a different interpretation of reality, or a different opinion about reality. It is a dismantling and denial objective truth itself.
30 years ago, when the alphabet mafia was only a couple of letters long, instead of an L followed by the infinity symbol, their demands were not our favorite, but at least they were somewhat reasonable. They wanted gay marriage, and the right to visit their partners in the hospital.
This we could at least wrap our heads around.
In the years that followed, more and more identifies were added, and as they were, the demands became equally as convoluted and unrealistic.
30 years later, the demands of the trans movement isn’t for the right to some freedom others enjoy, but to a right that NO ONE is afforded.
They will say that their goal is to be protected, but that is just a distraction. Trans people have all the same protections that everyone else has.
They cannot be legally discriminated against, assaulted, killed, etc to infinity. Those laws already exist.
Ultimately, what they actually demand is the right to legally compel others to join in their fantasy and to affirm it as an objective reality.
This is not a right that ANYONE enjoys, and they want to be able to hurt you if they can’t get your full cooperation.
THIS is why the Trans Movement is such a big deal.
It is an all-out assault on reality itself, and our rights as Americans.
And if history is any indication, if they get what they want, it will inevitably be enforced by people with guns from OUR government.

Today’s “Journalists” are strategic dinosaurs, using tactics that would have worked 15 years ago, but are wildly ineffective in the internet era.
They used to hide behind an impenetrable veil of competence provided by the media apparatus. People would believe them by default because “They write for the NYT, I’m sure they wouldn’t publish something unless the author knows what they are talking about.”
That veil is gone now, ripped to shreds by decades of pushing naked partisan propaganda, and with it goes the protective bubble for “Journalists.”
The default position for most readers now is at the very least skepticism, but probably closer to incredulity. “Journalists” as a group have failed to understand this, with hilarious results.
This is why you see daily freakouts from media personalities, columnists, pundits, etc. It used to be enough that you simply worked for a reputable organization. You could say whatever you wanted and people believed you.
But now, the bar is much higher, people can fact check you in real time. “Journalists” would like you to believe they are exceptional thinkers, well versed and well informed, champions of the truth. Most are incompetent clowns with a burning desire to seem important.
The interview that
@JamesClayton5
did with
@elonmusk
last night proved exactly what I am talking about.
James went into the interview thinking that he could spit out talking points without facts backing them up, and that the veil of competency would protect him from pushback.
At every turn, Elon made him look like the glorified google searcher that he is. Spitting and sputtering, James changed the topic every time the conversation went more than a centimeter below the surface of the issue.
My point, and I know I labored to get here, is that these are not smart people. They pretend to be, and they demand that you put them on a pedestal, but on average they are dumber and less knowledgeable than you or me.
And they know it. Use that self-consciousness to your advantage whenever possible.

(Thou shalt not bear false witness)
I have always known that this, among other things, was the reason it is wrong.
It is a dismantling and denial objective truth itself.
