Calls from the left for tolerance and to "live and let live" are exactly how we got into this mess. It's funny how that "tolerance" is not extended to progressives' ever-growing enemies list. It's almost like it was just a tool to gain power, not a principle.

Problem is, can we return to sanity?

Cui bono? That’s always the correct question. The answer is ultimately found by following the money trail. Who are the groups promoting this? Is it genuine grass roots (rare -if it were they wouldn’t get this level of publicity if any) or professional agitators (media handily at the ready to cover in full gory glory)? So, who’s paying them? There’s always a source providing the seed money, hiding just behind and often in plain sight. And what do they want? An asymmetrically large return on their investment. We see the same set up over and over from climate to covid to the new new thing.

What's this 'assigned' at birth stuff? Did somebody sit there going 'you're male' or 'you're female' or did they merely register the fact that biology showed that this new bubs was male and that new bubs was female?

And what about the males who now reckon they're women but are still married to their female partners. You do know, don't you, that these idiots are claiming to be lesbians?

We need to tell these colonizers that they need to stop with the colonization of women's spaces.

I had a trans-friend, yes, past tense, who was female-to-male and hetero based upon his new gender. So, he who was once a she, and who appeared very convincingly male, was attracted to straight. However, he never had bottom surgery. And when all his dating endeavors ended after just a few dates he couldn’t understand that straight females don’t want to do the horizontal bop with a man who has a vagina!! He really couldn’t fathom what the problem was!

Perhaps it's just the systematic destruction of the family, social structures and the ability to reach out to one another. Consider in 20 years how "quaint" having families might be when you can have whatever you want sexually, without the baggage of children.

In 40 years, a serious drop in population ensues, and the (temporary) pursuit of happiness ends with loneliness, regret, a lack of offspring to enjoy, and certainly no real caregivers or friends.

Misery loves company, and is touting all the fringe benefits you can have today in order to get your misery and loneliness tomorrow.

I remembered “the scouring of the Shire” as referring to Frodo & co. setting things right *after* Sharkey/Saruman’s go at industrialization.

Tights?

When you were acting?

Embarrassing?

Maybe - when son was picked to be in a circus show performance on holiday when he was about 8 they said "and you need to wear these tights".

Lots of "No" and "they are for girls" promptly ensued.

Then problem solved.

They called them "performance tights" and he was happy with that and 20 years later we still have the photos of hime in the show.

Everything hinges on the description/name.

I think I'm in awe. POGROM. Such horrific beauty. What terrible splendour of an acronym - or should it be "acridnym" since it virtually etches itself to the screen?

The Scouring of the Shire, when I re-read the book (or tome, had an edition with the whole thing in one bind) as an adult, struck me as a part being about how it feels to be home from the war of the trenches, only to discover that the skivers, the oily goulash-barons, the sneaky gits and sleekit buggers rule the roost, and that the people just and true simply let them, lacking the aggression and experience of a man who's had had to face war and keep on living.

I think the author meant it as both warning and as a spot of hope: a warning to the profiteers at home whose peaceful existence is solely due to others braving horror, and a hope that warriros having faced true evil will cherish home and hearth enough to fight for it directly, not just in the wars of the powerful.

Tolkien is actually a rather fitting touchstone for the entire topic, so again I'm in awe: hadn't exactly put his works and psychology and motivations of the alphabet-crowd together. What drives and motivates the orc? Hatred, fear, and self-loathing in equal measure. The queer crowd hates everyone not living up their standards (which is projection of them not having any standards beyond "I want!"). They fear their prey and enemies realising how powerless they really are, since allt their actual power stems from Sauron (governement). And they loathe what they are because they know they can never be anything more or anything else, because they've made their choice long ago not realising what it really meant and must now stay the course (the first-born elves being lured away by then fair-faced Melkor and turned into monsters tallies rather nicely with the original women's lib and gay rights being turned into today's monstrosities).

You really are bloody clever you know!
