Public School: There are “8 Categories For Sex/Gender”

     The Gender Based Violence Prevention Office of the Toronto District School Board has revealed at a “gender clinic” that there are eight categories for sex and/or gender, and multiple choices therein!

     The self-evident truth, that there are boys and girls, has been swept by the wayside, and children have been increasingly divided by a plethora of categorizations.  These not only divide, but are used to effectively “add another epicycle” to a failed and delusional ideology masquerading as “science.”

The Equality Obsession

     A core concept of the Progressives’ version of “Justice” is an equality of outcome, and egalitarian principles that we are all equally the same, and that all differences are unjust and false.  As such, since all are equally deserving, “[e]ach member of society has an equal claim on their society’s goods… Natural attributes should not affect this claim, so the basic right of any individual, before further considerations are taken into account, must be to an equal share in material wealth.”

     Any inequality, then, is considered an unfairness that must be corrected.  Those who have more must have only gotten more due to “privilege” due to accidents of nature or of luck, and that “privilege” is used to oppress and keep others down.

Dept. of Health & Human Services: Calm Down, Toots!

     The Dept. of Health & Humans Services has declared that “The marriages that were the happiest were the ones in which the wives were able to calm down quickly during marital conflict.”  Where, then, are all the feminists shouting out that “well-behaves women rarely make history,” or that telling women to “calm down” denigrates them as nothing but unthinking emotional creatures?  The same place they were when the previous Democratic administration got into un-feminist shenanigans!

     As the veritable Ace of Ace of Spades HQ put it:

“If this were a Republican President’s HHS linking this, what would the Left’s and Media’s (but I repeat myself) #WarOnWomen Threat Alert System be up to now? Red, right?”

     It would seem that feminism and the #WarOnWomen is only good for fighting against the “Patriarchy ™.”  When it comes to enlightened Progressives, on the other hand, the following seems to be a bit more representative:

America’s Future: A Choice of Two Narratives

     Author Sarah Hoyt points out that for people to fit themselves into society, they must know not only their place in society, but that society wherein their place is.

“Humans are made only partly of physical being, the other part of us story, a myth that extends beyond us.  We’re none of us stupid – or too stupid – we know where we come from and we’ve seen what happens to the generations before us.”

     This of course, is the narrative, or story, of ourselves and our culture and society.  It frames how we see ourselves and is the basis for our very views and beliefs.  As Hoyt puts it, “[i]t’s still there for those who believe, to the degree they muster their belief – is that there used to be a civic narrative too.  Patriotism.”

     Patriotism, in America, is not defined by race, though.  It is a civic heritage that transcends race and ethnicity.  Our society is not perfect, but it is nonetheless a good one, and by emphasizing the good, we can overcome the bad that arises. Further:

The Intolerance Towards Normalcy

     This hatred for what was once considered “normal” is wide spread.  A lesbian couple trying to transform an adopted son into an adopted daughter is considered liberating, but when that ideology of transsexualism leads to tragedy, it is at best ignored.  A gay couple raising a child is lauded as wonderful, but a conservative straight couple raising a child is condemned and even effectively prohibited exercising the same legal right as a gay couple — adopting and raising a child.  As Robert Stacy McCain noted:

“Professional athletes can spawn with multiple baby mamas, and feminists have no word of complaint. Gay men hiring surrogates to breed children for them? Lesbians raising adopted child sex-change experiments? No problem, say the Womyn’s Studies majors. In response to the general plague of divorce and fatherlessness, the poverty-inducing epidemic of illegitimacy that replicates underclass misery, the collective reaction of the Official Women’s Movement is . . . crickets chirping.

“However, let a normal couple of married Christians give birth to more than the standard 1.7 children, and they become the targets of seething rage and resentment”

     This double standard isn’t really a double standard, though.  The calls for equality and tolerance are simply convenient excuses and lies that serve only to destroy social norms so that they may be replaced by the Left’s own visions.  They themselves will refuse to show the tolerance that they demand of others.  This is because they define the views they disagree with as “intolerance,” “H8,” et al. and the opposition to those views as necessarily being for “tolerance” and against “H8” regardless of the actual lack of tolerance or hatred that they show.  In other words:

“It’s pretty simple: if your choices aren’t their choices, then your choices are wrong, illegitimate, and societally harmful.”

The “Right” to Die While Waiting to See a Doctor

     One of the “benefits” that are promised to come with socialized healthcare is that the people won’t have to worry about being without insurance and thus healthcare unless there is government run healthcare that is provided “free” to everyone.  Thus, if a person comes down with cancer, breaks a bone, or runs out of condoms during a 24-hour orgy marathon, the state will be there to take care of them, right?

     Of course, the reality of the situation is that healthcare will be rationed.  With a Canada-style single payer system, seeking help if the state can not adequately provide will be illegal.  Will the rationing be used to pay for a person suffering from late-stage cancer, a person who has been physically maimed with bones broken, or will it be used to pay for enough contraceptives for Sandra Fluke to sleep with all of Lichtenstein (twice)?

     Pro-tip: If you ain’t the skank sexually profligate individual needing the birth-control, chances are you will be pushed aside and made to wait in the hope that you die before the state has to deal with you.

What Other Sexual Lifestyle Will Obamacare Ads Cater Too Next?

     Obamacare ads are now advertising to not only to the perpetual man-child, but to skanks. It begs the question: What sexual lifestyle will Obamacare cater to next? One possibility:

     Considering the bent of Progressives’ “Sexual Liberation,” we should be glad that they haven’t trotted out Gary Glitter to be a spokesman… yet.

Public School Superintendent’s Racist Rant

     The superintendent of the Racine Unified School district in Wisconsin criticized a voucher program that was extended to her district.  What was her criticism?  Why did she think it was bad?  Simply, the superintendent believes that Black parents were incompetent to raise their own children:

“I think Milwaukee is a good example of what will happen on a smaller scale here. In Milwaukee, it’s pretty much been white families who’ve taken advantage of private schools, with a few African-American families. The African-American families are the ones who are most prone to enroll their kids in the fly-by-night schools that cropped up after vouchers existed.

“They don’t know how to make good choices for their children. They really don’t. They didn’t have parents who made good choices for them or help them learn how to make good choices, so they don’t know how to do that.”

     Despite all the cries of “symbolic racism” or cryptic “institutional racism,” there are indeed clear examples of racism.  Unsurprisingly, it comes from Progressives.

Tranformative Socialism: “Changing Values”

     One of the most basic traits of Progressivism, socialism, and the assorted menagerie of Leftist ideologies, is that society must be reshaped according to “correct thinking.”  The values, mores, and beliefs are the pillars that support society, and make it what it is.  The rabid Left associates any and all flaws with these fundamental underlying principles, and so seek to destroy it.  Because they associate such evil with society, and more narrowly with Western Civilization and America in particular, they see the absence of that civilization as necessarily good, and thus amenable to their own utopian delusions.

     Rarely, though, does the Left come right out and say it.  Democratic Congressman Clyburn has admitted that Obamacare is about “changing values”:

     Obamacare isn’t really about providing quality healthcare to the needy, but about re-engineering social values and nudging Americans towards “correct thinking.”
