The moment Bruce Jenner “came out” as Caitlyn, Bruce ceased to exist. It was as if he was never born, and everyone was expected to go along with the charade. Curiously, most people did. News stories immediately and unquestioningly stopped referring to Bruce. But no one bothered to ask a very basic question: how does Bruce, or anyone, know what it’s like to be another gender? They don’t ask it because it is impossible to answer, and they don’t want to be seen as insufficiently woke. But it’s an important question as people are having their lives ruined over slipping up and referring to people by the only way they’ve known them their whole lives.
Men and women are different. For all of human history, that was a statement of fact. About 20 minutes ago it became “controversial.” But if you think about the concept, it’s impossible for anyone to know what being a gender feels like.
How would you describe what chocolate tastes like to someone who has never had it? How would you describe the scent of a rose to someone who’s never smelled one? Could you explain a sunrise to someone born completely blind?
You couldn’t do any of those things effectively because there is no frame of reference to use. The same goes for gender.
Honestly, you have no clue whatsoever what fear feels like to another person, or love, happiness, or anything. All you know, and all you’ll ever know, is what you experience. It’s all you can ever know. We fool ourselves into thinking we can understand more, likely because it makes people feel less alone.
So how does a man know what a woman feels like, or vice-versa? They can’t. It is simply not possible. You can be attracted to whatever, that is something you can know, but there is simply no way to know what another person, let alone gender, feels like.
Like taste – some people like spicy food, others don’t – human beings simply cannot “feel” like another gender.
People just are. You aren’t conscious of your gender, it is literally the only way you’ve ever been. You don’t know if it’s normal or not, “correct” or not, or anything else. Yet, we’re supposed to take people’s word for the idea that somehow God or nature got it wrong; or all of human history has been wrong on this existential topic.
I don’t care how anyone wants to live their life, what they want to be called, or what anyone does (as long as whoever they’re doing it with is of age and willing), but the idea that some people know the unknowable is simply pandering.
A man has no idea what another “feels like” inside, nor does any woman. The idea that they can is a lie; pandering of the highest order. Men will never get pregnant, just as women will never get prostate cancer. It is a physical impossibility.
By and large, men are stronger and faster than women. There are, or course, exceptions. Some women are stronger or faster than some men, but no woman is stronger or faster than every man. Biology simply doesn’t allow for that.
In 2018, I wrote in my book about the 100-meter dash. Usain Bolt is the fastest person on the planet, holding the world record at 9.58 seconds. In the 2016 Olympics, Bolt not only won, every one of the 10 finalists had a time faster than the fastest time ever recorded for a women – the slowest male finalists’ time was 10.06 and women’s world record is 10.49.
Testosterone, which men produce in much higher quantities than women, is considered a performance-enhancing drug. If a female athlete tests positive for levels of it on par with the average man, they’re disqualified because they’ve been doping. But a male athlete who suddenly declares themselves to be a woman and wins…
Reality is not dependent upon someone’s belief in it, it just is.
People can insist, fool themselves, demand, whatever they want, but those delusions or lies won’t change what is. Biology doesn’t care how you dress or what name you answer to. If I’ve known you as Bob and you suddenly want to be called Jenny, I’ll call you Jenny. But that doesn’t, and won’t ever make a man a woman. And, honestly, I’ll probably call you a lot less often. I don’t care what kind of world people want to fool themselves into believing they live in, my problem is when anyone tries to force everyone else to live in that delusional world too.
Up is up, down is down, gravity is real, the Earth is round, and men are men and women are women. What you do within that reality is what matters. Denying it won’t change that.
He’s gay and is insulting the gay community by denouncing his gayness to be masquerading as a women
There is no question when it comes to TRANSGENDER. These are people who are mentally screwed up. A person cannot change their gender. They can dress like the other gender, change their name, take hormone replacements, and get surgical manipulations, but it does not change the sex that they were born!
Look at Micheal Robinson, er Moochell Obama
He is an idiot. Ask yourself how can a male that fathered five children become a woman, or visa verse. It is impossible. Also why does he surround himself only with women which would normal for a male. I tell you why, because he is a male and nothing changes that.
Good article, especially the closing lines. I might have changed it up in the “men are men, women are women” phraseology to throw in something about “chromosomes don’t lie”. “Manliness/womanliness” is a social construct and that’s what the trannies are using to manipulate the entire discussion. We should base our argument in something not so easily manipulated, i.e. the chromosomes. Absolutely no argument with Derek’s article, though.
I am a woman and I know that can happen.
Within minutes, google was changing searches for “bruce jenner” to “Caitlyn jenner”. The rulers of the internet were very happy to use their power and resources to force us to think in an approved manner.
Insanity is the willful denial of reality.
I can’t stand Derek’s laissez faire attitude toward sexual ethics. That attitude is the author of what he is condemning. What a fool.
There’s no such thing as a transgender just delusional people with severe psychological problems.
Providing any support for these delusional people enables the behavior and calls into question the sanity of the folks that do.
Important to realize the Left cannot avoid using the term, transgender, to describe an individual playing the role of the other sex.
Yet when a man does the above, he is celebrated by these same people.
"Transgenders" are inmates attempting to run the asylum.
As I’ve said here before, when I worked in psych hospitals, we occasionally had a patient who believed he was Napoleon. We did not feel it necessary to provide such patients with infantry and cannons.
But that was some time ago.
Sorry, but you are the fool not he. A male can never become a woman, especially one that fathered five children like Bruce Jenner did. And neither can a woman become a male and give birth to a child like a woman from the UK did. The problem with this was that she kept her uterus and her female organs so she could give birth to a child. Without her female organs it would have been impossible.
And by the way.. .Jenner looks like holy hell now.
Trannies B Wack.
Except men, no matter how feminine they try to act, never achieve it. It’s always apparent they’re XY just putting on a very poor act.
Same with women trying to be butch. No matter if they chop off boobs or get attachments or grow a beard, they’re still women. Messed up mentally but still XX.
Same with those who want to have their limbs cut off for no reason or those covered in tattoos and piercings. They hate their bodies and themselves. Nothing but mental cases.
XX or XY. There are no other possibilities. (With EXTREMELY RARE exceptions for birth defects.) Surgery to remove or add body parts does not change this fact.
