There is a lot of talk in America today about “transgender rights.” News outlets talk about “transgender athletes ,” “transgender prisoners ,” and “transgender students .” Our society is steeped in debate about so-called transgenderism. However, I see very few people asking the question, “What does ‘transgender’ mean?” or “What exactly is ‘trans?’”
The crux of the matter is this: People across the political spectrum have been persuaded to accept that there is a coherent category of people for whom sex is irrelevant and that this category of people is called “transgender” (or simply “trans”). Democrats on the whole support “rights for ‘transgender people,’” and Republicans on the whole oppose allowing sex-confused people to hijack sex-specific spaces. But regardless of whether or not a person supports or opposes “rights for ‘transgender people,’” that person probably believes that there is such a category of people.
But there isn’t. “Trans” is a lie. It is a lie as big as the lie that the emperor is wearing clothes. He isn’t wearing clothes. He’s naked. He’s just too arrogant to acknowledge it, and everyone around him is too cowed to say so.
To understand how transgenderism became so entrenched in our society despite its obvious distortions, one must first understand the philosophy from which it began. Starting in the 1970s, a group of people in academia started talking about postmodernism — a new philosophical and political movement that dismissed claims to objective fact and reason. It objected to the idea that anything could be grounded in material reality. One of its main proponents was Michel Foucault, a French philosopher who taught for a while at the University of California, Berkeley. Foucault was also, incidentally, a known pedophile who advocated the abolition of age-of-consent laws.

Transgenderism is just a fancy RAT term used by DemonRATS so as to not offend those suffering from Gender Disorientation.
Trans is a delusion.
WSJ also has an editorial on the same subject this afternoon. Are we finally seeing a push-back on this harmful foolishness?
Her Leftist skirts are showing.
The business and industrial aspects are mere hangers-on.
The ideology driving it is naked cultural Marxism, designed to destroy society so they can take over.
Gays have finally convinced society (including not a few “Conservatives”) that Gay is now normal and mainstream. As a result, they are now distancing themselves from the transgender movement, calling them weirdos and wanting to remove the T from LGBT. Now that the Gays have given the green light, voices in the Left are starting to pile on. Pretty soon we’ll see people realizing that it is not as “cool” to be trans as it has been for a while, and either give it up or go back under the rock where it was previously hiding.
It is a sickness! A mental illness.....
As I’ve posted many times...
just substitute the word “fake” anywhere the word “trans” is used, in regard to sexual orientation.
It all makes more sense.
Nice to see pre-2022 Midterm vote. I read 70% of parents are against schools teaching about transgenderism, plus drag shows. 53% of Democrats are against this!
