If you’re one of the lucky few who lives in blissful ignorance, you may not be aware that Friday was Trans Visibility Day.
But since the government, politicians, major corporations, the news and entertainment media, academia, and the medical community never shut the hell up about the trans movement, whether we like it or not, every day in America is trans visibility day.
The trans movement oozes from every crevice of our society. At this point, the only way to escape it is to move to a cabin in the woods where you have zero access to magazines, newspapers, television, and the Internet.
Our entire culture and political establishment treat this wee little minority of mentally disturbed individuals as the latest sacred cow.
And because the delusional world that these troubled, emotionally immature, narcissistic people create for themselves is so fragile, they demand that we twist our entire society into knots to play along.
If a 60-year-old woman with a cancerous tumor in her belly is so deep in denial that she tells everyone that it isn’t a tumor but a baby, doctors would have to be mad to indulge her.
But some 20-year-old college coed decides that she’s really a boy, and doctors will put her on testosterone, cut off her breasts, and give her a penis fashioned from her arm without batting an eye.
And now, these narcissists have turned to evangelism. It is no longer enough for adults to make believe they are the opposite sex. Now they try to convince children that they too were “born in the wrong body.” This is the lengths they will go to maintain the fragile world they’ve created.
What was once a distinct mental disorder has become the latest mass hysteria to prey on the weakest and most vulnerable among us.
Children who suffer from anxiety or depression, along with those dealing with the usual confusion that comes with adolescence, are convinced that all their problems will be solved if they embrace their “authentic selves.” Public schools are allowing a child to secretly “identify” as the opposite sex by keeping their parents in the dark.
At the same time, there are some self-centered affluent Liberal Moms so eager for attention that they decide their preschool children are transgender. So Mom dresses little Steven in girl’s clothing and calls him Stephanie, subjecting her son to psychological and medical abuse all so she can get the dopamine hit that comes with embracing the latest Current Thing.
The news and entertainment media then reinforce the message by promoting and celebrating so-called trans people.
Come out as “trans,” and you can become an internet and media sensation. These trans pseudo-celebrities rake in more product endorsement deals than most athletes. In the last few years, how many magazines have chosen men as one of their “Women of the Year?” Hell, just last month, First Lady Jill Biden bestowed the State Department’s “International Women of Courage” award on an Argentinian man.
We are told we can no longer use terms like “pregnant woman.” Instead, we must refer to them as “birthing people” so the teeny minority suffering from gender dysphoria feel “included.”
What was once seen as a mental disorder has “transitioned” into an identity that must be celebrated, promoted, and shielded by our entire culture and society. So much so that last week, after a young woman who “identified” as a man entered a Tennessee Christian school and murdered six people including 3 children, the media went out of its way to treat the trans shooter as the true victim by blaming the murders on the Tennessee law protecting minors from chemical and surgical mutilation.
The Biden administration has gone all-in on the trans movement, appointing men who claim to be transgender and “non-binary” to government positions with much fanfare and boasting.
So it probably doesn’t come as a galloping shock that the Biden White House proclaimed Friday Trans Visibility Day.
In the President’s “Proclamation on Transgender Visibility Day,” Biden’s handlers wrote of those suffering from gender dysphoria that they “shape our Nation’s soul.”
Yeah. Really.
The bulk of the proclamation, however, was a vow to fight back against parents and state lawmakers who are trying to prevent children from being sucked into this mass hysteria by enacting legislation preventing schools from indoctrinating their children and doctors from mutilating their bodies.
Of course, the White House describes the effort to stop this abuse of children as “a wave of discriminatory state laws” “targeting transgender youth, terrifying families and hurting kids who are not hurting anyone.”
Really? Personally, I think the “non-binary” narcissist teacher who plants this delusion into the minds of her students is the one who is hurting kids. The doctors who would lop off the healthy breasts of teenage girls or castrate teenage boys are definitely hurting kids.
But since our government, society, and culture have all decided to play along, it isn’t surprising that those of us who live in the real world are the ones labeled as monsters.
It’s sick and abusive. And it gets shoved in our faces all day every day from every corner.
As Jesse Kelly put it yesterday on Twitter:
In many ways, the trans stuff is the greatest win for cultural Marxism. They rub the patently absurd in your face and demand you celebrate it. Everyone knows you can’t change your gender. And yet everyone from doctors to the President of The United States will say you can.
If I can get you to say water isn’t wet. If I can get you to say the Sky is Green. If I can get you to say up is down and right is left. If I can do all that to you, I truly own you. You’re mine. I can make you do whatever I want.
That’s the trans stuff. That’s power.
But the reality is, none of the people shoving the trans movement down our throats gives a damn about the people suffering from gender dysphoria or the abuse of children.
The gender confused are simply a means to an end. The Left is using them as a means to destroy the foundations on which our society was built, including the family.
Why do you think they howl like wounded poodles at the prospect of parental involvement in schools? The goal is to sever the bond between parents and children. The Left has always sought to destroy the family. Today, the trans movement is the vehicle by which they are continuing that destruction.
In his proclamation, Biden described trans people as “the bravest people I know.” But he doesn’t really believe that. He and the rest of the power-hungry knobs in his administration don’t give a shit about these psychologically damaged people.
Neither do the media, academia, Hollywood, the medical profession, or the rest of the Democrat Party power structure.
So-called trans people are just a useful tool in their march to power.
I came across this thread from Shant Mesrobian yesterday that hit the nail on the head:
The point of trans politics has always been to open up a new offensive front in progressive culture war and to advance the political power of the liberal class and its Party. It’s not really about trans people, per se, and never has been.
It’s simply the latest way to wage war on Party enemies. The extreme positions mainstream liberals have rapidly adopted on trans issues is explained by this. The tribal Party imperative is taking precedence. The Current Thing is always just about this one thing, over and over.
This political phenomenon then creates a positive feedback loop: Members of this newly chosen and coddled victim class are incentivized to become more visible, vocal, and grow in number, all of which then lends self-reinforcing credence to the perceived legitimacy of the cause.
The effect is powerful. The Party has become the central organizing force of elite professional liberal society. Turning yourself into a member of the Party’s current “it group” obsession is akin to turning yourself into the newborn baby of the household, but on a societal scale.
And given that the spectrum of identity is so broad (pronouns are enough), the barrier to entry is really quite low. All that’s really required, and what fuels all of it at its core, is a passion for progressive activism in service of the Party.
This is why you cannot get away from it.
This is why, day in and day out, it is shoved in our faces from every quarter.
And the “bravest people I know” are the ones who, when confronted with this coordinated onslaught, will not be cowed into playing along with the charade.
