The Boobs That Broke the Camel's Back

Yes, I am talking about THOSE boobs (again) - the somewhat improbable appendages worn by the Canadian teacher. You’ll be pleased to know, however, I will spare you the picture. I’m sure you’ve had more than an eyeful already.

There are some rumours circulating that this teacher had had a previous spat with the school over ‘progressive’ ideology and so the Great Mounds of Protest were donned, and shoved in their faces, as if to say, “go on, fire me now!”

Whether real or an extraordinary act of trolling, the outcome might be significant. I wonder if we’ll be able to look back and divide this era of ineffable weirdness into pre- and post-prosthetic.

When things are this hard to ignore, you know what happens? People don’t ignore it.

I mentioned in my last piece that I was, perhaps, seeing signs of a growing revolt against the woo.

My perception may be awry; it may be nothing more than a futile hope. However, we’ve seen the Ginormous Jugs of Genderwoo aired on Fox News which does not have an insignificant following. Like the skimpiest of skimpy things from Victoria’s Secret, the Genderwooists have been unable to prop up these enigmatic emblems of their ideology. The reaction from those not infected with the woorona virus has been almost wholly unsupportive and far more pervasive.

I get the feeling from perusing Twitter that a lot of people have simply had enough of this shit and are beginning to speak out.

Speaking out in the UK carries some risk. Our delightful Plod (US translation: The Police) seem determined to turn themselves into a laughing stock.

Last week, Sussex Police were massively lambasted for saying that a woman had been convicted of some appalling sex crimes. The crimes were committed whilst said woman was a man, but PC Plod had to toe the PC line. Criticism of them was harsh and widespread. They then decided to double-down and reminded people about ‘hate speech’. You can imagine how well this went down.

It gave me a lot of hope that, finally, people were starting to fight back.

Not to be outdone, this week Surrey Police turned up at the house of a mother of 5 and arrested her and seized her computers and phones because someone had alleged she had sent offensive tweets/memes. This vicar’s wife has documented the sequence of events. Can you guess what the alleged offensive tweets were about?

Go on. I dare you. Have the wildest guess possible.

Here’s Surrey Plod defending themselves

Things are not going well for Surrey Police with their ‘clarification’. A message has been said to have been communicated? What does this even mean? I mean, it’s not like you don’t have access to the internet to fucking check this, is it? And what the hell is a “grossly offensive” message anyway?

I find YOUR words “grossly offensive” Surrey Police - go investigate yourselves, you absolute bunch of muppets.

Maybe if the words were really, really, really, hurty they would have called the dogs in?

Not that you need me to tell you, but if you’re in the US, please, please, please defend the 1st Amendment with every breath and every fibre of your being.

I know that some people claim the existence of the genders demigirl and demiboy, but I think Sussex and Surrey Police might have discovered a new gender; the demiwit.

You may recall that I’ve previously written about how a UK transgender charity, Mermaids, is taking another UK charity, LGBAlliance, to court to try to get LGBA’s charitable status revoked. This has not gone as planned. I think they felt that everyone would be supportive, because they only ever really deal with people in their own little fantasy world. What’s happened is that a real focus has been brought onto Mermaids itself.

This focus has highlighted some disturbing things and brought the whole Genderwoo program to a much wider audience. Here’s just one of those things.

Brace yourselves. Make sure you’re sat down and take a few deep breaths. Have a large restorative brandy close by.

Ready?

Earlier this year Mermaids appointed a new board member. An academic by the name of Jacob Breslow who is on the faculty of The London School of Economics. Just to give you a flavour of what JB is about here’s a description of his book Ambivalent Childhoods

Ambivalent Childhoods brings together critical race, trans, feminist, queer, critical migration, and psychoanalytic theories to explore the role of childhood in shaping and challenging the disposability of young black life, the steadfastness of the gender binary, the queer life of children’s desires, and the precarious status of migrants. Through an engagement with “the psychic life of the child” that combines theoretical discussions of childhood, blackness, transfeminism, and deportability with critical readings of films, narrative, images, and social justice movements, Breslow demonstrates how childhood requires sustained attention as a complex and ambivalent site for contesting the workings of power, not only for the young.

When you’ve processed that nonsensical verbiage, let’s have a closer look at some of the things the esteemed Breslow has written.

You might need to enlarge the picture to be able to read it properly, but, here, Breslow basically describes being turned on by the erotic performance of a 12-year-old boy. I can think of no other way to interpret this.

Can you imagine writing this, but about an overtly sexual dance routine of a 12-year-old girl?

Breslow tries his best to do the academic thing of ‘qualification’ and to dress it all up as if he’s asking reasonable questions, but let’s not forget the fundamentals here; this is a 12-year-old performing an erotic dance routine in front of adults.

There’s no way to make this ‘right’ in any context. At least Breslow does describe that the majority of the audience were extremely uncomfortable. But notice how he’s really questioning whether they should be uncomfortable.

And, as if this wasn’t bad enough, here’s a bit more of his writing

I honestly don’t know how someone could write this under the guise of ‘scholarship’.

I told you you needed to brace yourselves.

If you’re a parent, would you want this person anywhere within a hundred miles of your kid? I know I wouldn’t. I’m not even saying he would do anything - although I think that would be a perfectly reasonable worry given what he’s written - it’s that I wouldn’t want my kid exposed to this kind of warped view of sexuality at this age.

You may have seen the push for “pleasure-based sex education” in schools. This is all part of the same twisted ideology that views kids as sexual beings. Sure, kids may have burgeoning sexual desires and have explored their own bodies sexually at young ages - but this does not mean they should be viewed as sexual beings in the same way as an adult is. Any attempt to draw some kind of “equivalence” should be firmly rejected.

I suspect it’s part and parcel of an attitude that sees sex as merely like eating an ice cream; an act of little consequence purely associated with pleasure. I don’t think it is, in general, for men or women, however much we pretend to ourselves that it is.

Here’s another now legendary “scholar” - although more of a fledgling one.

And what did you get your PhD in?

Wanking to underage gay erotic comics

What’s important about all of these examples is the backlash. They have all faced some very strong and widespread criticism. Like I have said, and I might be wrong, but I’m beginning to sense a rise in the willingness of people to speak out - and in greater numbers than before.

And, because I’m beginning to feel a little nauseous, let’s finish with a few, unrelated bits of humour to lift the mood a bit.

I’m going to hell, because this one made me laugh - and it really shouldn’t have.

I did wonder if they were able to determine whether or not high explosives cured Alzheimer’s.
