Xyr Loved Big Trans-Brother

     It isn’t enough that you are made to call a woman a man or say a men to through menopause. No, they want to finish the struggle and have people win victory over themselves.

     Civil servants in the U.K. are now told to have goodthink about transgender/non-binary people, according to the taxpayer funded “Information commissioner’s Office”.

“The ICO’s Trans Policy and Guidance says its staff should ‘be guided by your trans colleague and their preferences’ in an effort to support them and they ‘must call a person by their chosen or preferred name’.

“It adds: ‘ICO staff can support trans colleagues or individuals who are transitioning by… Thinking of the person as being the gender that they want you to think of them as.’

“In separate guidance about the menopause, the ICO says: ‘The menopause is a natural hormone transition that every woman and some trans men, trans women and non-binary people will experience’.”

Kentucky vs. Critical Race Theory

     Kentucky is now joining with many, many other states in considering legislation that would prohibit the state’s schools from pushing Critical Race Theory, as well as Sex-based discrimination by prohibiting the indoctrination of various insidious “divisive concepts”.   SB6 says, in part:

(a) “Divisive concept” means a concept that:

  1. One (1) race or sex is inherently superior or inferior to another race or sex;
  2. An individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, is inherently privileged, racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or subconsciously;
  3. An individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of the individual’s race or sex;
  4. An individual’s moral character is determined by the individual’s race or sex;
  5. An individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex;
  6. An individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or another form of psychological distress solely because of the individual’s race or sex;
  7. A meritocracy is inherently racist or sexist, or designed by a particular race or sex to oppress another race or sex;
  8. The Commonwealth of Kentucky or the United States of America is fundamentally or irredeemably racist or sexist;
  9. Promotes or advocates the violent overthrow of the United States government;
  10. Promotes division between, or resentment of, a race, sex, religion, creed, nonviolent political affiliation, social class, or class of people;
  11. Ascribes character traits, values, moral or ethical codes, privileges, or beliefs to a race or sex, or to an individual because of the individual’s race or sex;
  12. The rule of law does not exist, but instead is a series of power relationships and struggles among racial or other groups;
  13. All Americans are not created equal and are not endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including, life, liberty, and the 8 pursuit of happiness;
  14. Governments should deny to any person within the government’s jurisdiction the equal protection of the law;
  15. Includes race or sex stereotyping; or
  16. Includes race or sex scapegoating

     The bill also allows for aggrieved private parties to sue for up to $100,000 if the state forces these wicked concepts on them, forcing them to affirm said concepts.

Identifying As A Robot: From Playing Pretend To Valid Gender

     Remember the insanity that was that hellhole called Tumblr? Back then you have people identifying as “galaxygender”, a trans-dimensional space princess, an agender pansexual wtfromantic/nebularomantic Gaelic Polytheist “woodland spirit”, a translucent glow creature, a demi-mogairomantic demi-pansexual magigender otherkin, an arovauge pan-aceflux “systemgender”/”trautgender”, and a gay autistic bigender shark-kin upper-class able-bodied communist sprite.

     Tumblr was never really mainstream, at least no like Tik-Tok has become where “genderfluid” is sprayed all over the place.

     The one benefit of Tik-Tok is that it has provided an avenue for the insane and gender-confused to show the world the consequence of gender ideology, and how it has quickly becme mainstream. Take in point a kid declaring that they are a non-human robot, who, ironically, is binary

     Kids played “pretend” or “make believe” all the times and acted like they were robots, or dinosaurs, or other non-human things. When they’re young this is seen as exercising their imagination or even cute.   It used to be that as the kids got older, not only parents but society at large would tell them it’s time to grow up and play pretend. In this day and age, identifying as something you could never be has been normalized. After all, if a girl can be come a boy, why not a robot or a dinosaur. After all, such “identity” has already been established to have nothing to do with physical and/or biological reality.

Identifying as a robot seems almost mainstream and socially acceptable compared to the aformentiond Tumblr madness. And that is how for well over a decade the crazyness of Tumble has been distilled down into an almost anodyne embrace of identity politics and the dissevering of “identity” from objective biological reality.

Firing Line Friday: Jews and American Politics

     In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.

     After emergency aid was sent to Israel by the United States following the Yom Kippur war, many questioned the influence of Jews in the U.S. government. Today, with the rise of Anti-Semitism following the attack by Hamas and the war in Gaza, let us look back when this issue was raised half-a-century ago as William F. Buckley, Jr. discusses Jews and American politics with Stephen D. Isaacs and John Murray Cuddihy.

Quick Takes – To Kill Or Not: Portugal Approves Euthanasia; Nevada Governor Vetoes Euthanasia; Danish Ethic Panel Says No To Euthanasia

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Some will live; some will die.

     First, a little mood music:

     Carrying on…

Death, Rx

     Another country has legalized killing patients: Portugal.

“The law specifies that people would be allowed to request assistance in dying in cases when they are “in a situation of intense suffering, with definitive injury of extreme gravity or serious and incurable disease.”

“It establishes a two-month gap between accepting a request and the actual procedure and makes psychological support mandatory.”

     Don’t bet on that waiting time protection doing much protection.

“Strict guidelines and all that jazz. Not only are they unlikely to be strictly enforced but will soon be redefined from protections to barriers, toward the end of being loosened — an ongoing process that pushes virtually every jurisdiction with legalized euthanasia/assisted suicide toward ever-widening the qualifications to be made dead.”

     Also, the Nevada Legislature voted to legalize euthanasia.

Having An Incorrect Meme Will Result in 5 Years Of Jail In Australia

     People in America often don’t realize how lucky they are to have a 1st Amendment. In Australia, you can be thrown in jail for five years if you have books, memes, or other such possessions that are deemed “violent extremists material”, and even goes so far as to declare that otherwise innocent pictures or books could be declared “violent extremist material” if in combination together they are deemed to be so!
