Transgenderism, Jazz Jennings and The Fly
The Stream ^ | 24 Mar 2023 | Mark Judge

As I once wrote in The Stream, the premise of almost every horror movie is: Don’t mess with the Natural Law. Starting with Frankenstein and going through The Exorcist and Hereditary, horror films often reinforce positive social norms and warn against violating them. (Yes, most are too violent and crazy to recommend to Christian audiences.)

Greed, pride, defying God’s natural order and dipping into the occult all get punished. As I noted:

Frankenstein warns us not to play God and try and reverse the inevitability of death. The Exorcist teaches us to not dabble with demons, as Regan did via a Ouija board. In slasher flicks like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street, the kids who get knocked off in them are the usually ones who are drunk, promiscuous or mean. Re-Animator and countless similar flicks punish those who grasp at immortality.

When considering the horror that has befallen the victims of transgenderism, the movie that comes to mind is The Fly. In this 1986 classic, a scientist conducts experiments that defy reason, physics and the human body. In a moment of euphoria, he thinks he has made a breakthrough that will “transform humanity and the world.” Then (surprise!) his body and mind degenerate into something monstrous.

To back up: Scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) invents a teleportation device, and tests it on himself. A housefly accidentally slips in during the process, leading to a merger of man and insect. Initially Brundle is ecstatic as the fly’s cells begin to take over his body. Brundle’s girlfriend (Geena Davis) watches in horror as the person she once loved deteriorates into a monster.

I thought the 1958 version of “The Fly” was much better.

In the book when he comes back the last time he is part man, part fly ......and part cat.

Everyone forgets about the cat that disappeared.

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade
You make the change
You rearrange[d] me till I’m [not] sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
And there’s someone in my head, but it’s not me

It’s said that horror is of *two* types. That which dwells outside of us, and that which dwells inside of us.

It is also noted that outside horror is “Republican” horror and inside horror if “Democrat” horror.
