On Nov. 22, 2020, New York Times columnist Charles Blow unleashed one of the most bizarre tweets in recent memory. "Stop doing gender reveals," he stated. "They're not cute; they're violent. All we know before a child is born is their anatomy. They will reveal their gender. It may match your expectations of that anatomy, and it may not. If you love the child you will be patience, attentive and open."
This is patently insane for a variety of reasons.
First, the characterization of gender reveal parties -- parties during which parents celebrate finding out whether their unborn children are boys or girls -- as "violent" is, in and of itself, radically nuts. Parents are excited to learn whether their children will be boys or girls. That is absolutely unobjectionable. But for an ardent fan of abortion on demand such as Blow to characterize a gender reveal party celebrating the sex of an unborn baby as "violent" while characterizing the in utero dismemberment of that same unborn baby as "choice" is so morally benighted as to boggle the mind.
Blow's tweet goes further. The implication that parents are doing violence against their own children if they connect sex and gender is utterly anti-evidentiary. Sex and gender are interconnected. For nearly every human being born, biological sex will correspond with genital development in the womb. And gender, contrary to the idiotic, pseudoscientific paganism of the gender theory set, is not some free-floating set of biases we bring to the table. Males and females have different qualities in a variety of functions, attitudes, desires and capabilities. In every human culture -- indeed, in every mammalian species -- meaningful distinctions between male and female remain. To reduce children to genderless unicorns simply awaiting hormonal guidance from within piles absurdity upon absurdity.
And, of course, Blow's take on "patience" is not limitless. Presumably, should your daughter announce that she is a boy at the tender age of 5, all measures will immediately be taken to ensure that she is treated as a boy by those such as Blow. There will be no call for watchful waiting; to do so would be yet another act of "violence."
Why does any of this matter? Because Blow's perspective has become mainstream on the left. In October, Healthline, a supposed medical resource, ran an article reviewed by a licensed marriage and family therapist titled "'Do Vulva Owners Like Sex?' Is the Wrong Question -- Here's What You Should Ask Instead." Whether "vulva owners" like sex is indeed the wrong question. The right question, to begin, might be what makes "vulva owners" distinct from women; as a follow-up, we might ask how one would go about leasing or renting a vulva if ownership seems like too much of a burden.
But the madness gains ground. CNN reported in July that the American Cancer Society had changed its recommendations on the proper age for cervical cancer screenings for women, only CNN termed women "individuals with a cervix." Which seems rather degrading to women, come to think of it.
Lest we believe that this is merely some lunatic fringe, it is worth noting that Blow, Healthline and CNN are merely saying out loud what those who place gender pronouns in their Twitter bios, such as Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, imply: that gender and sex are completely severable, and that biology has nothing to do with the former. President-elect Joe Biden has openly stated that an 8-year-old can decide on his transgenderism; Sen. Elizabeth Warren infamously stated that she would have a 9-year-old transgender child screen her secretary of education nominee. Male and female are arbitrary categories to which anyone can claim membership.
And we were told to celebrate that actress Ellen Page is transgendered. She had declared she was lesbian a few years ago. But now apparently she is not really that way.
Do sexually confused people really know what their so called gender identity or gender expression is, if they can change it, as Ellen Page did?
...but They’re Gaining Ground
They keep using that word, science. I do not think it means what they think it means.
I’ve been waiting for that one.
Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.
They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.
The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.

I always ask people that accept this nonsense the following, “The late Nobel Prize (in Economics) winning mathematician John F. Nash (See “A Beautiful Mind” book & movie) once self-identified as the Emperor of Antarctica and that penguins would worship him. (Yes that was one of his many delusions. They were far more varied & complex then the movie portrays!). What’s the difference between Nash’s self-identification and say Ellen Page’s self-identification?
The usual response back to me is to get mad at me !
Then loudly say “Its different and you know it is !” Then the name calling commences.

It’s in the Sylvia Nasar book also.
Let’s roll back to 1870. Would it even be POSSIBLE to change one’s”gender”, given the medical science of that era? You know the answer. It’s only because of modern medicine that this kind of insanity can survive.
I think she finally figured out Inception 2 is never gonna happen and no more "Kitty" Pryde, and she's 33, so her chances at a real payday are over. She's finished as an actress. FINISHED.
If I walk into my doctor’s office today and say, “Hi, I’m Margaret Thatcher,” my physician will say I am delusional and give me an anti-psychotic. Yet, if instead, I walked in and said, “I’m a man,” he would say, “Congratulations, you’re transgender.”If I were to say, “Doc, I am suicidal because I’m an amputee trapped in a normal body, please cut off my leg,” I will be diagnosed with body identity integrity disorder. But if I walk into that doctor’s office and say, “I am a man, sign me up for a double mastectomy,” my physician will. See, if you want to cut off a leg or an arm you’re mentally ill, but if you want to cut off healthy breasts or a penis, you’re transgender.
No one is born transgender. If gender identity were hardwired in the brain before birth, identical twins would have the same gender identity 100 percent of the time. But they don’t.
- The Dangers of a Transgender Ideology
***that actress Ellen Page is transgendered.***
I just watched an old movie, HIGH ANXIETY in which a man thinks he is a dog.
So what’s the difference between a man believing he is a dog and a woman believing she is a man?
In the olden days it was called Mental Illness.
I read an interesting book on psychological sexual problems back in the 1980s. Wish I could remember the title.
A young man is born in the back hills of the Ozarks, his mother died when he was born. He was raised by only males in the family.
Upon being drafted in WW II, it was found he had no interest in women, no interest in men. But shown a photo of a cow, there was instant reaction.
Would this be considered “normal” om today’s perverted world?
There was a guy who had his male parts whacked off by two backwoods rubes not long ago.

No, Ben - it is *precisely* that the definitions of words are exactly whatever the Left wants them to be, at any given time; no more, no less. This is the luxury of being a Leftist: you are never held to any standards whatsoever, whether in behavior or in language.
