For the record, I don’t want them stoned in the public square, nor even shunned, but I will resist this full court press to welcome with open arms and celebrate what is clearly abnormal, aberrant behavior. Enough.
If transgenders are not ‘weird’ and ‘abnormal’, what exactly is?
[[I]t feels were still in the immature, demagogic phase.]
Describes the left perfectly on a host of issues.
What exactly do they want us to surrender?
Im not sure what pollutes our culture more, the National Review or transgenders.
McCulloughs Orwellian demand is, if so requested, we blithely agree to identify biological men as woman and vice versa.
Mental illness should be treated, not celebrated.
At what point do they call for turning over our kids to the state, so that they can be directly indoctrinated? Then the parents can fight other battles, like allowing a 10% increase in Calcium Sulfate in our drinking water standard, so as not to disrupt the operation of farms in Northwestern Nebraska (if there are any there).
Why the hell not?
Yeah, how about no? NR is asking us to suspend our core beliefs. I will NEVER capitulate to ANY leftist doctrine just because they think I should.
They also think I should disarm. Nope.
Again, from the beginning.
1) Transgenderism is a behavior.
2) Is this a good behavior? discouraged or encouraged? or left alone, or at least left alone by government.
3) Behaviors are complex in their cause because humans are complex.
4) BEHAVIOURS CAN BE MODIFIED!!!!!
Surrendering to an evil enemy results in the evil enemy having the opportunity to destroy everything you hold dear.
That is what National Review is advocating.
It is that dangerous
These monsters who embrace this do not love or have any real concern about these transgenders. To get to the point where your fantasies (no, your mental illness) compels you to actually interfere with your bodys normal course of events which for some includes mutilating themselvespoints to an illness so profound its right up there with suicide. And thats a typical outcome for them.
To encourage this behavior instead of helping these people is cruelty beyond cruelty. Its so easy to be angry with them, but it hurts me to see them suffer so much and nobody cares and call it good when they are clearly mentally sick
As someone far cleverer than me pointed out: would we treat another obvious mental illness like say, anorexia, the way we’re ‘supposed’ to treat transgenderism? Tell them that they are right; they are fat. Give them tips on losing more weight. Prescribe medications to induce vomiting, do surgery to close off part of their stomachs? Encourage their delusion and condemn as intolerant anyone who pointed out that they were in fact deluded?
There can be no surrender on transgenderism or the notion of a free society is doomed.
They don't care about reality. This author is either naive or a convenient acolyte. The number of transgendered is very, very few. The number of publishers pushing redefinition is immense, saturating everything. And they don't care about reality. What they want is a tolerance for redefinition, where they get to decide what things mean, "scientifically" of course. Their definitions have no tolerance for reality.
So what they are saying is that we’re not allowed to think what we think.
I would never harm or speak cruelly to such a person, but I would also never believe that this abnormality, or emotional/mental/spiritual illness should be accepted as normal and promoted, especially to the young people.
I am also so unenlightened that I still think it is wrong to commit homosexual acts. I’m going to need extra time in camp to change.
This is just another pile of sh#t column from Nolte.
Why do advocates for transgenders always focus on women becoming men when it is pretty obvious that it is almost always men (who are actually fetishists) becoming women? Transgenders, drag queens and transexuals almost always imitate a kind of camp woman that went out of style when Joan Crawford died. In the rare examples of women becoming men, they end up looking like Broadway stage hands for Frozen. In other words, they have no clue how to be the opposite sex because they are NOT the opposite sex. They only know how to imitate a cliche of the opposite sex.
And the author ain’t feelin’ the love over at NR - that ruin of civilization.
I’m very curious about how NR’s circulation numbers are doing. We used to enjoy that magazine.
National Review really only cares about one thing CHEAP LABOR
