The Logic of the Meat Grinder

The generation that did everything it was told to do is keen on burning down the very culture which sold them a lie.

Perhaps you too are devastated by this week’s crushing news—Meghan Markle’s Netflix show has been canceled.

The show, of course, a one-word title by the name of “Pearl,” is about an oppressed young woman who deigned to overcome obstacles such as someone not validating her every whim, not affirming nor flattering her every thought. I wrote this before bothering to Google the name and premise of the now regrettably canceled show—unremarkably, my assumptions were faultless.

Meghan would only commission a show based on her and her own lived experience. Of course, the protagonist would resemble Meghan and would task herself with overcoming the contrived problems of which Meghan and her wife Harry place before themselves to elicit meaning and something to talk about.

Narcissists, as Christopher Lasch contended, see the world as a mirror, as a reflection of their fears and desires.

“Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges,” said Meghan, or the word Sherpa who scribes such bumf.

Quite what daily challenges a modern 12-year-old contends with are beyond both my comprehension and concern. My daily challenge back then was to convince adults to slip into the offie and buy me ten Lambert and Butler without skanking both the fags and the change from my lunch money.

On our journey of self-discovery, my fellow hoodlums and I spun in circles while attaching our mouths to a flagon of White Lightning—a fearsome lunatic soup and unofficial sponsor of teenaged pregnancy, anti-social behavior disorders, “problem drinkers,” and gentlemen of the swig.

Last year, the School District of Philadelphia encouraged teachers to attend a conference on “kink,” “BDSM,” “trans sex,” and “banging beyond binaries.”

In early July 2021, the district’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion sent invitations to the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference to teachers and staff on the SDP Connect mailing list, promoting the conference as a way to “learn more about the issues facing the trans community.” The conference was organized by the Mazzoni Center, an LGBTQ activist organization that has worked with the district on sexual-education programs. (When reached for comment, the School District of Philadelphia described its promotion of the conference as part of its commitment to “creating equitable and inclusive environments,” and said it did “not have any information” on the number of teachers who attended the event. The Mazzoni Center did not return request for comment.)

I have obtained videos from a publicly accessible website that show that the conference went far beyond the school district’s euphemism about “issues facing the trans community.” The event included sessions on topics such as “The Adolescent Pathway: Preparing Young People for Gender-Affirming Care,” “Bigger Dick Energy: Life After Masculinizing [Gender Reassignment Surgery],” “Prosthetics for Sex,” “The Ins and Outs of Masturbation Sleeves,” and “Trans Sex: Banging Beyond Binaries.” The conference attendees included educators, activists, adults, and adolescents. There were graphic sessions on prosthetic penises, masturbation toys, and artificial ejaculation devices, which some hosts explicitly promoted to minors. As one session host explained, “there’s no age limit, because I feel like everybody should be able to access certain information.”

The conference began with presentations promoting puberty blockers, hormone treatments, breast removals, and genital surgeries. In one session, “The Adolescent Pathway Preparing Young People for Gender-Affirming Care,” Dr. Scott Mosser, the principal at the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco, explained that he has performed “over two thousand top surgeries,” which involve removing girls’ breasts, and that there is no age limit for beginning the “gender journey.” “I do not have a minimum age of any sort in my practice,” he said, explaining that he would be willing to consult with children as young as ten years old with parental consent.
