Gender Confusion: A Tool of the Left
American Thinker ^ | 08/18/2018 | By Peter Skurkiss

Posted on 08/18/2018 4:27:40 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The Democratic Party has gone off the deep end in many more ways than just pushing socialism. One sign is the fanatical embrace of identity politics, which has become the hallmark of the Party of Obama (POO). Look at Vermont. There, the Democrats' primary race for governor was won by Christine Hallquist.

What is unusual is that Hallquist calls himself a "transgender woman." To put it more accurately and without any politically correct gloss, Hallquist is a male pretending to be a woman. His pretending isn't all that convincing, as evidenced by this YouTube clip from Time magazine.

Yes, Hallquist is a man in spite of any superficial changes he has made to his appearance. The chromosomes of the cells in his body haven't changed, and he can't erase the fact that he fathered three children when he was known as David Hallquist. Now, it is one thing for an individual to assert himself to be a woman and to act the part. There are always oddities. However, it is something entirely different for a major political party to put forward such a confused person for a high-level position as governor of a state.

Does the primary win by Hallquist embarrass the Democrats? Not at all. Rather, it is celebrated within the party, a type of collective virtue-signaling.

All this could come across as comic relief, but it's deadly serious stuff. The American mind is being stupefied. For example, right now all across the country, many young college students are reporting to their campuses to be trained as resident assistants or as sometimes called resident assistants (R.A.).

Russell Goldman of ABC News did a study of the various gender classifications used by Facebook (link no longer available).  He identified 58 gender options at Facebook: 

Good luck in figuring what's what here.  But this list can't be wrong.  It's being used by Facebook, one of the newly minted Masters of the Cosmos.

The filthy left, and their never-ending stream of red-herring issues to control the media agenda.

All of these except intersex are fetishes.
Intersex is a class of physical medical conditions.
Why leave out sadist and masochist? Those are just as valid (which is to say, irrelevant) divisions.

They'd go (further) nuts trying to figure out which size to buy.

Or pyromania, or pedophilia, or kleptomania, or...

Why are certain out of the normal behavior tolerated and others not?

Apparently society seems to have decided that it has to do with whether it causes others obvious harm.

For a long time homosexuality and transgenderism were heavily stigmatized, even punished, by society, because they were seen as not good for a healthy society, even if no specific harm was done to other individuals.

So who’s right, today’s society or past ones? I imagine we will learn the answer in the coming years of this brave new world.

This is not about separating people from common sense, it’s about separating people from God. All men are born with the knowledge of good and evil in their heart. That we do have in common.

We all make a choice from there.

They are both mental disorders requiring constant counselling.

because they were seen as not good for a healthy society, even if no specific harm was done to other individuals.

They're not, many are suicidal, many are child molesters. Some are murderers. Not good for a healthy society.

It’s all crap.

They are what they were born as, whatever their DNA says they are. But they’re all perverts, whackjobs and freaks.

The left likes to claim it’s “settled science” when it comes to things like climate change. Here’s some settled science they don’t want to talk about: Unless medical science finds a way to actually change your chromosomes, you are either male or female. That’s it. There are no other choices no matter what kind of clothes they wear, or what name they choose to call themselves. It’s settled science.

Past ones. These Demonic Democrats are attacking The Truth so that they may own it and move it around as necessary.

Interesting thought. Maybe the other 55 should be showing up at department stores demanding their own departments.

It all starts with the myth that GENDER and SEX are somehow related. They are not. Sex is biological and gender is grammatical. And English-only monoglots are the only ones likely to fall for it because English is the only major language that uses natural gender exclusively.
