Congratulations on wading through so much drivel at 6am. After the first few quotes I just stuck to your commentary. Thank you for putting yourself through purgatory for the benefit of the rest of us. I'm beginning to think academia should be closed down en masse.
What is “queer” now that the movement formerly known as queer isn’t just normative but authoritarian? The purple haired non-binary pansexuals are running the show. The new “queer” is wearing curlers and an apron and homeschooling. Just like the former hippies who listen to NPR and line up for their sixth booster have become The Man, the formerly transgressive drag queens— those who once mocked gender roles with their exaggerated performance— have merely become tired symbols of the new regime. They have become the people they hated, and they will use the remnant that defies their edicts to convince themselves they are still persecuted. But just like we have to keep pressing them on “what is a woman?” I think it bears asking “what is queer?”
Endocrine Disruptors - Common Chemicals That Severely Alter Your Hormones - Dr. Shanna Swan https://youtu.be/uLxFazLK2Mg We ignore this to our peril, we started killing sperm counts 50 years ago, maybe touching plastics all day long isn't so good, oops. This is not all about personal choice, the fact that we are different, hormonally, than we were, cannot be overstated.
There's definitely something going a bit skew-whiff here - and worrying *physical* changes happening (lowering of testosterone etc and sperm counts) that can't be just about social conditioning. I think environmental toxins that act as endocrine disruptors are certainly a prime candidate for investigation.

..."There's more BPA in a single thermal paper receipt than the total amount that would leach out from a polycarbonate water bottle used for many years." —Robin Berzin, MD
'...it's not just BPA that's an issue when it comes to the health risks of handling receipt paper. "The EPA evaluated the chemicals used in receipts and found 17 present in addition to BPA and its sometimes-replacement, BPS," she explains, noting that BPS has also been found to be estrogenic. "It determined that none of these chemicals are without hazard, either to people or to the environment."
A buzzy 2014 study also showed that BPA is more quickly absorbed into the skin after hand sanitizer is applied, which is of particular note when it comes to receipts. "This scenario of handling receipts then eating with your hands after using hand sanitizer was pointed out by the authors to be very common at fast food restaurants and food courts," says Dr. Wayne. This enhancement effect isn't limited to hand sanitizer, either. Dr. Vandenberg explains that any product that utilizes a dermal penetrant—like hand sanitizer, but also some soaps and lotions—enhances absorption of BPA (and other such hormonal disruptors) into the skin...
"By recycling our receipt paper, we've now dumped BPA into products like toilet paper and tissues."
James Lindsay should be required reading/watching/listening for high schoolers and all public officials. The simple question is, Of all the people who want access to our children, why drag queens? Why not mimes, or clowns, or thespians? The reason is obvious--a dark project to disrupt the normal maturation of children. Why do parents take their kids to these events? They are victims of fashionistic thinking--whatever if currently fashionable guides their behavior. They need to listen to James Lindsay or read some Riggery Pokery.
I just asked that same question on a couple YouTube videos recently. Lots of people perform in different ways, lots of people have hobbies, why this focus on drag queens?
I follow James Lindsay. He has dived down this rabbit hole and done all the reading of source texts too. He is a formidable thinker and, because this is a new exploration, it seems rarified but it is fundamental to an understanding of our current perilous, parlous state. It's 3.44h of deep dive, hard going at times and it helps to have seen some of his stuff on Hegel and Frege etc but it is a superb demolition of the gnostic/hermetic cult and it's bs scripture and methods. He is the master of his subject. I appreciate your bringing up this work.
There is a convenient 'chapter' break at bang on 2h btw. Once you see this stuff, the dialectic trick and it's inversion etc it's hard to unsee it and it assists in deconstructing and defending against the nonsense. The extramural have had to do this as the Academy has completely gone over to this religion and has failed us utterly.
Tea for left handed people? No thanks. I like my tea, if at all, later in the day, in a narrow cup so that the heat is retained. And please, no sugar or milk, but served by a French maid is terrific.
Probably the handle isn’t even meant to be seen as a letter, and it’s a mug for AUNTIE, with the ends wrapping around behind. (Though for some reason the designer has since been demoted to mRNA vaccine development.)
I’ve not read the whole article yet. But I just thought that I’d share the phrase that came to mind when you mentioned peer reviewed and the phrase Queer Reviewed popped into my head.
I had a sudden thought while reading this: why do we have so many men dressing up as stereotypical women, but so few going the other way? In other words, why don't we have as many women dressing up as GI Joe or Sylvester Stallone in camo, with glued-on biceps muscles and penises, carrying Uzis and putting on little shows for schoolchildren? Maybe they're out there, but I'm not aware of them.
The aggressive urge to fight this viral mental contagion with every tool available is countered with the passive contemplation that it may burn itself out in (relatively) short order. However the casualties along the way will devastate mankind for generations.
The first option may make life better now. The second option may make life better for distant future generations.
Using dispassionate truth, in open conversations with empathetic people is the best choice, but that population is so difficult to find these days.
For now i will default to holding the line, while we await reinforcements from allies fighting against this foe.
Thank you, I fail to understand why those mothers (frankly I haven't seen any fathers at those gatherings) do that, why do they even think that their 2 - 3 yo can potentially benefit from it, even if taken as an entertainment? Genuine question. Ed: I see a couple of males here but by large the majority at those
"We focus on five interrelated themes: play as praxis, aesthetic transformation, strategic defiance, camp and its relationship to stigma, and embodied kinship." CHILDREN LEARN ALL OF THESE THINGS WITH OTHER CHILDREN. It's fine for adults to intervene when there is bullying, but children learn social skills within their family then interacting with other children. What in the heck are these grown adults doing in children's business??? Some of it might be pedo vibes. Some of it is sheer narcissism combined with deficiency and insecurity - it's like these men don't have enough connections with other adults and they want kinship with children, who they have more social power with. The people who are childish, whether they're drag queens or not, haven't matured fully into adults and are not good role models for kids. I don't like it at all. It's not that men in drag couldn't be great reading stories to children; it is a skill. But each community needs to decide that independently and know the person ingratiating themselves into children's spaces (this isn't just a gay thing). The fact that this is a whole "thing" - drag queen story hour - especially combined with the trans extremism we've been seeing, makes me very uncomfortable.
I think queer "knowing"
is a term that comes from life experience. The perspective that comes from for example being a man, and moving through the world as a man - there's a knowing of what that's like, and perspectives that come from that, that a woman could never fully know. I see a difference between knowing and understanding. The way men communicate with men, and women with women, comes with a whole subconscious understanding of body language and perspective from life experience. I'm not saying that all men always intuitively know other men, nor the same for women, but each sex use shortcuts of communication with the same sex because of this knowing.
Thanks for this interesting post, I'm glad I got the rundown of that article while keeping my kneecaps intact. I like walking.

Why indeed?
There are plenty of colourful and entertaining people who could be connecting with the imagination of kids.
But it has to be some pantomime dame. Why?
Hmmm 🙄

Apols. I meant Paulo Freire not Frege. Frege was a proper philosopher and logician.
Most enlightening! Thanks for sharing, it’s terrifying, yet you managed to make it palatable with humor.
Thanks
If I didn't try to laugh I'd be crying 😫
Tea for left handed people? No thanks. I like my tea, if at all, later in the day, in a narrow cup so that the heat is retained. And please, no sugar or milk, but served by a French maid is terrific.
As long as your French maid is not some hairy bloke in drag?
It’s only left-handed if one wants to face an unpleasant truth about oneself.
It may be aimed at the larger market of righties who want to send a message to the person across the breakfast table.
That's how I would take it.
What's the message, do you think? I read the mug as "See You And Tee", i.e. an invitation to golf.
That is what it says, right?
Probably the handle isn’t even meant to be seen as a letter, and it’s a mug for AUNTIE, with the ends wrapping around behind. (Though for some reason the designer has since been demoted to mRNA vaccine development.)
Phew! Glad you cleared that up for me, almost thought it was one of them dirty words!
I'm a coffee-drinker myself, only have tea when I'm sick. Properly brewed, black as tar and tart enough to crinkle paint.
That final photograph … look how the smiles are distributed among the adults and the children. This is really wrong.
I’ve not read the whole article yet. But I just thought that I’d share the phrase that came to mind when you mentioned peer reviewed and the phrase Queer Reviewed popped into my head.
Queer review 🤣
That's brilliant Ian 👏

Maybe they're out there, but I'm not aware of them.
Because they look like little boys wearing daddy's clothes, is why.
Why men wearing their grandma's old throw-outs - if grandma was an ocean liner crew whore - look hilarious I cannot answer.
Mothers helping pedophiles groom their future victims in the open is what it is, and that's all it is.
The children are to be the janissaries of the next and possibly final wave.
Always liked the english expression "eat your tea".
The aggressive urge to fight this viral mental contagion with every tool available is countered with the passive contemplation that it may burn itself out in (relatively) short order. However the casualties along the way will devastate mankind for generations.

Queer = Normalizing Oddity.
NO! for short.

are women.
Oh lord. Oh lord.

Cutting past all the pseudo academic waffle, DQSH is all about degenerates aiming to corrupt and sexually molest children.
too bad the Bud Light cans are outta da tea mug frame...
