Even as liberals deny the most basic biological realities, they hold themselves out as champions of “science.” The transgenderism to which they subscribe rests on an obvious repudiation of science. Calling men women and women men represents the triumph of a reality-defying subjectivism in our public life.
During the Trump years, we heard a lot from Democrats about the importance of “norms.” But most of their energy is devoted to blowing them up, particularly moral norms.
For all of his talk of restoring “truth,” “facts,” and “science” to the White House, Joe Biden peddles that fantasy more than anyone else. “Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time,” he has said. He not only encourages adults in this fantasy but also confused and impressionable children. We can expect transgender ideology to dominate the policies of his Department of Education.
In a preview of life to come under Biden, Democrats in Congress this week proposed the elimination of any gender-specific terms in the official language of the House of Representatives. The most telling part of their Orwellian resolution is its insistence on wiping out any customary familial terms:
In clause 8(c)(3) of rule XXIII, strike “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in- law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, or granddaughter” and insert “parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, half-sibling, or grandchild.”

“Male and female He created them.” God is not mocked.
Joe Biden is a ChiCom agent.
I’m listening to 1984 right now.
Don’t know about an agent (that generally implies actual membership to the ChiComs), but he’s certainly a willing accomplice or at best a stooge for them.
One way that abusers oppress their victims is to tell their victims things that are not true, in order to make their victims doubt reality. The leftist fascists insist on cramming antiscientific bilge like “transgenderism” down our throats for the same reason. Victims who are unsure of what is real are easier to control.
Is it asking for its parachute pants back?
