RE: Marjorie Taylor Greene Misgenders First Openly Trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride: 'He's A Man'

2012: Republicans tell ridiculous lies to attack Democrats. Electoral failure.

2024: Republicans tell the even more ridiculous truth to attack Democrats. Electoral success.

This is what happens when you insist 2+2=5 and punish those who object.

"Math is Racist" was sadly not an onion article

I was trying to explain the other day that gender woo is just as absurd and lacking in credibility as flat earth theory. Conservatives believe a LOT of nutty things, but the left has handed them gender theory on a golden platter to make THEM, of all people, look like the clearheaded ones who aren’t blinded by emotion and faith and are able to just say the absolutely obvious truth.

I’m mad at anyone who gives the nuttiest conservatives that gift, honestly.

Because they think they won't be the one who would be effected by this shitty ideology. TiMs are not on the face of come corporate executive ( remember that budweiser female executive who pushed Mulvaney ? ) shouting It's Mam!. They are clashing with working class who have to use the public restrooms, working as customer support directly interacting with TiMs.

Can we also discuss this “openly” transgender description. Really? Tell me who the closeted ones were. They are trying to normalize the “trans people have always existed” thing even in the headline.

Now, do I think there have been transvestites in congress, yes. But sensibly, in the past, nobody would have voted for someone who dressed like this publicly. I prefer those days.

Men dressed up as women may have always existed - but in the 1970s we called them perverts and took care to bring our laundry in, in case it was stolen!

Cross dressing is a common fetish of serial killers. Buffalo Bill was a compilation of many real world serial killers.

There has always been transvestites. It's just that in the past they had the good sense to only do it at home in private, and in the 60s they got arrested for cross-dressing in public. A lot of cross dressers have more than one paraphilia, and a lot of serial killers have been cross-dressers.

Which leads me to another thing. Borderland Pride co-chair and director Douglas W. Judson has stated, “Mayor McQuaker’s role requires that he represent everyone in the community, including 2SLGBTQIA+ people.” But this is incorrect. No mayor’s role is to represent every single person in their jurisdiction. Not only is this impossible, it’s just not wise. What about the Local Pedophile Society? What about the Make Soup from Puppy Spleens Society? What about the Demolishing of Heritage Properties Society? So Judson’s premise, uttered as a universal truth, is false; not everyone's concerns in a community should be represented.

Now we can ask the question, should the concerns of “2SLGBTQIA+ people” in particular be represented? Let’s see — should an anti-family, anti-biology, perpetually divisive, marxist entity be something mayor’s should be celebrating?

For example, Dawson concludes, “I find this remark demeaning and disparaging.” Do you? She mentions, “The township is acting dismissive and demonstrating a lack of understanding.” Are they? Who are you to determine what is demeaning and disparaging? What if Emo finds your attempts to railroad their municipal autonomy demeaning and disparaging? And what if pride politics deserve to be demeaned and disparaged? And in what way can the endlessly moldable Human Rights Code function as any sort of objective metric to such things?

We saw similar tactics at work during the freedom convoy. People felt threatened. But feelings don’t determine threats. That’s why we don’t put OCD sufferers in charge of pandemic preparedness committees. When we let feelings determine threats, and consequently, response, we are engaging in what some have called, “toxic empathy.” On this, Allie Beth Stuckey states, "Empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing that they must adopt progressive positions to be loving.”

See, it doesn’t matter to Borderland Pride that McQuaker is an experienced, well-respected, father and grandfather. The only thing that matters is that he is a fly in the rainbow ointment. He is a glitch in the matrix. He is the flaw in the machine.
