Transgenderism in sports
Why are so many female athletes lesbians? This is one of
those unspoken questions that political correctness demands never be raised in
polite society. These lesbians aren’t the type of men’s sexual fantasies. They
are typically the “butch” type, masculine in appearance, attitude, and style,
and grossly unattractive to men. Nature seems to imply that there is something
inherently masculine about athletics. Female athletes are not usually
considered attractive by the typical man, though male athletes are always
attractive to women, even when they are not particularly handsome. Take Dennis
Rodman. Please. Being a physically fit successful athlete is sufficient to
attract the opposite sex, whether or not he comes with a huge bankroll.
What happens, physically, to female athletes? Body fat decreases.
Consequently, breast size reduces. Normal menstruation cycles can be
interrupted. It seems Nature is trying to send a message, but we don’t want to
hear it. Consider, breast enhancement is the most common cosmetic surgery
procedure, performed on over 300,000 women in 2018[1] who spent $1.2 billion
so they could “feel more like a woman.” Yet young women are encouraged to
pursue activities that directly cause the “need” for this surgery. Isn’t that
strange?
While feminists are trying to negotiate a coherent position
on pay equity in competitive sports, despite the inconvenient biological and
economic realities, they now face a much more serious threat: the challenge of
transgendered women. This recent development should settle any lingering
argument over women’s comparative physical equality with men, but it is leading
to even greater absurdities.
Transgendered women (men who surgically and chemically
mutilate themselves to conform to their inner true female sexual identity) now
insist on competing in women’s athletics, and where they have participated they
have invariably dominated. In January 2018, Franklin Pierce U. junior Craig
Telfer finished eighth in a field of nine in the Men’s 400 meter race. The
following year, newly transgendered CeCe Telfer, now a senior, won the NCAA
Division II women’s 400 meter hurdle. Head coach Zach Emerson gushed, “I’ve
never met anybody as strong as her mentally in my entire life.”[2]
In 2019, Connecticut high school transgender athletes Terry
Miller of Bloomfield High and Andraya Yearwood from Cromwell High School
finished 1st and 2nd respectively in the state 55-meter dash indoor track championship.
Miller also won the 300-meter indoor track meet. Last year, they both topped
the 100-meter outdoor track championships.
The top six of the 55-meter go on to compete in the New England
regionals. Eighth-place Selina Soule bravely spoke up about her elimination.
After all, it meant she wouldn’t be competing in Boston where she might’ve been
spotted by college coaches scouting for athletic scholarship candidates.
"We all know the outcome of the race before it even
starts; it's demoralizing," she said.
Transgender cyclist Rachel McKinnon, a philosophy professor
who teaches a class on “ethics and inclusion” at the College of Charleston in
South Carolina, won the gold medal in the women’s world championship cycling
race in 2019. Jennifer Wagner, the bronze-medalist, initially divulged her
frustration at having to compete with the much larger and stronger biological
man in a series of tweet exchanges. “It’s definitely NOT fair,” she complained.
(Note that lung capacity is a huge factor in competitive cycling (refer above, p.
23), and cross-sex surgery does nothing to change an individual’s lungs.)
Several days later, after the collective voices of political correctness had
their say, Wagner apologized to McKinnon.[3]
“After having some time to reflect, I realize my twitter comments
earlier this week unintentionally fanned the flames on a controversial
situation, and that I regret,” Wagner wrote. “I apologize,
@rachelvmckinnon, for not properly congratulating you on race day. I hope you
accept it a few days late. Congratulations and enjoy your off-season.”
Surprisingly, the outspoken champion for transgenderism
refused to accept the apology, rebuking Wagner: “She merely apologizes for
being caught saying it publicly. She wants to ban trans women from competing.
They will fail…”
Interviewed by USA Today, McKinnon pontificated, “This is
bigger than sports and it’s about human rights... By catering to cisgender
people’s views, that furthers transgender people’s oppression. When it comes to
extending rights to a minority population, why would we ask the majority? I bet
a lot of white people were pissed off when we desegregated sports racially and
allowed black people. But they had to deal with it.”[4]
“Cisgender” is PC-speak for normal. Being attracted to the
opposite sex can no longer be classified simply as normal, it is now regarded
as just one flavor in a continuum, one that requires its own label to
differentiate it from any of the other, perfectly normal, sexual orientations,
such as homosexuality, bisexuality, queer, or any of the other 30-odd, or
50-odd colors in the spectrum. I wonder, is bestiality on the spectrum? How
about pedophilia? Not yet? If not, why not? If not now, when?
McKinnon objects to the IOC (International Olympic Committee)
guidelines established in 2015 that require transgender athletes to block their
natural testosterone levels, restricting it to 10 nanomoles per liter. She
vehemently disagrees with the mandate, arguing that the testosterone cutoff is
“arbitrary,” and that there’s no right way to measure it. The Olympic charter
says that sport is a human right, she argues. “We cannot have a woman legally
recognized as a trans woman in society,” McKinnon says, “and not be recognized that
way in sports. … Focusing on performance advantage is largely irrelevant
because this is a rights issue. We shouldn’t be worried about trans people
taking over the Olympics. We should be worried about their fairness and human
rights instead.”
We will know soon enough how relevant transgenderism will be
in next year’s Olympics. I think it’s going to be a big deal.
TERF wars
If you’re looking for a ray of hope in the Left’s war on normalcy,
transgenderism is ripping feminism apart. It’s led to the deepest fissure yet
in identity politics, one that threatens one of its foundational pillars:
feminism. It is a given that the end result of identity politics is
self-destruction through internecine conflict, something we can all look
forward to. Cue “The Mao Tse Tung Hour Negotiations” clip from Network[5].
What is identity politics, after all, but a giant Publisher’s Clearinghouse
victimization sweepstakes? Chairman Mao said that political power grows out of
the barrel of a gun, but in the PC present, power comes through one’s
membership in a victim class. Predominance comes from jockeying for a higher
position on the victim-privilege scale, which invariably requires elbowing-out
the competition. “Intersectionality” is the stop-gap strategy to forestall the inevitable
implosion of warring identity groups, getting them all on-side by keeping the
focus on the common enemy: whites and men. (Refer to p. 71.)
On one side of the rift are lesbian-feminists who desire nothing
more than sexual apartheid between the sexes. Biological masculinity is
toxic... period. On the other side are feminists that aren’t ready to jettison
an enduring plank in the Left’s catechism, “inclusivity,” simply because it has
led to rather awkward circumstances that directly disempower women (as in
sports). This rift is a real big deal in feminist circles. It’s referred to as
the “TERF wars,” TERF being an acronym for “trans-exclusionary radical
feminists.” As the name implies, it applies to the first group, those that wish
to exclude transgendered “women” from their moral universe. The only thing the
two sides share in common is their hatred of the patriarchy. The debate
centers, then, on, on the definition of “man” and “woman.” Can a man shed his
inherent toxic masculinity if he takes the ultimate step toward denial of his
manhood? The TERFs say No. There can be no redemption of Original Sin. This
position, then, implicitly rejects the notion of sex as a social construct...
‘Dem’s fighting words!
Transgender dating woes
Another hot topic in the trans/identity-politics theater is
the refusal of “cis” men to date trans women. How dare they?
In the BBC popular reality show Celebrity Big Brother, the
2018 season included a transgendered woman in the household. When a male
housemate admitted that he wouldn’t hook up with a trans women, the episode set
off a brouhaha in the House and a social media firestorm.[6]
According to one Zinnia Jones, a transgender blogger, men
who would never consider dating a trans women (or men on the way to transitioning)
are prejudiced and “exclusionary,” and should “work through that”[7]
.
There is now a movement within the trans community to prod
and shame normal men into including trans women in their dating pool, against
their own natural instincts, because to do otherwise is “transphobic”—the
latest “deplorable.”
. . .
Targeting children
Social coercion to normalize sexual partnerships with
transgenders may be laughable, but encouraging this madness in children is no
joke.
The Obama administration’s infamous “Dear Colleague” letter
of May 2016 under the joint auspices of the DOE and DOJ (ostensibly “guidance”
only), threatened schools with denial of federal funds for failure of
compliance with Title IX.[8]
It instructs schools to honor a student’s transgender request even over the
objections of the child’s parents. [9]
One such parent, Jay Keck, wrote an impassioned opinion
piece in USA Today, describing just what it’s like to have a daughter all of a
sudden decide she wants to be a boy[10]. According to
the traumatized dad, she had been typically “girlish” all of her life until
meeting a girl at the suburban Chicago high school she attended who recently
came out as transgender. “Shortly after meeting her, my daughter declared that
she, too, was a boy trapped in a girl’s body and picked out a new masculine
name,” Keck states.
In the past, the girl had issues forming friendships, and
had been diagnosed as being on the autism scale, says Keck, but throughout her
childhood, “there were no signs that she wanted to be a boy... she loved
stuffed animals, Pocahontas and wearing colorful bathing suits... I can’t
recall a single interest that seemed unusually masculine, or any evidence that
she was uncomfortable as a girl.”
When the astonished parents found out that their daughter
had made the gender assignment (social) switch in school, their efforts to
force the school to address her by her birth name met first with lip service,
and it soon became clear the school had no intention of honoring the request.
Meetings with district administrators were rebuffed. They were told the school
had to “follow the law.”
Keck soon learned that the ACLU had sent threatening letters
to schools warning that it was against the law to disclose a student’s gender identity,
even to their parents—which Keck claims is false, at least in Texas where a
judge blocked the Obama guidelines.
Consulting with a psychologist was equally frustrating. The
therapist confirmed that the sudden transgender identity shift was caused by
underlying mental health issues, but he would only admit this off the record,
not commit this evaluation to paper for fear of a backlash. At last count 18
states have legislated bans on “conversion therapy,” which prevent therapists
from questioning a child’s expressed gender identity. Parents who try to fight
for the well-being of their children can face criminal charges of child abuse,
and have their children taken from them.
The NEA, ACLU, the Human Rights Council, Planned Parenthood,
and even the ALA (American Library Association) all contribute and collude to
push this radical agenda.
Pre-school children are now directly targeted. There is a concerted
nationwide effort to desensitize all manner of sexual deviancy. The ALA is
pursuing an aggressive plan to indoctrinate pre-school children through such
things as Drag Queen Story Hours, coming soon to a library near you, where drag
queens cavort and prance their way into the hearts and minds of innocent
children. Such a thing would’ve been unthinkable just a few short years ago.
Recently, one such drag queen gave his pre-school charges twerking lessons[11].
The ALA held a week-long national conference in Washington
DC in June, 2019. Over 21,000 librarians from across the country were
instructed in strategies to advance “gender identity” ideology in schools and
bring “Drag Queen Story Times” into public libraries, and how to circumvent the
objections of local parents.
These were some of the featured workshops:
- Queerness in Comics
- A Child’s Room to Choose: Encouraging Gender Identity and Expression in School and Public Libraries
- LGBTQ+ Creators and Characters in Kids, Tween, and Teen Comics
- Reading the Rainbow: Teaching Kids about Pride and LGBTQ+ History
- Are You Going to Tell My Parents?: The Minor’s Right to Privacy in the Library
- Telling Stories, Expanding Boundaries: Drag Queen Storytimes in Libraries
Among the book choices offered to push deviant sexual lifestyles
on children were these: My Brother’s Husband, Lumberjanes, and Pregnant Butch.
The “LGBTQ+ Creators and Characters in Kids, Tween, and Teen Comics” workshop’s
panel of “queer creators and allies” discussed “the importance of centering
queer stories, working to break stereotypes and the importance of giving all
young readers the chance to meet queer characters in comics pages.”
Several of the men hired to put on these “Drag Queen Story
Hours” have been exposed as registered sex-offenders.[12]
Meanwhile in Hollywood, Charlize Theron has decided to raise
her three-year-old son as a girl.
Transgenderism is being encouraged to children before they
even hit puberty. In schools, it’s often now “cool” to identify as “non-binary.”
The national homosexual rights activist organization, Human
Rights Campaign (HRC) claim, “Children are not born knowing what it means to be
a boy or a girl; they learn it from their parents, older children and others
around them.” Though “gender nonconforming behavior does not necessarily mean
that a child is transgender,” they generously allow, “sometimes it does—with
some children identifying as another gender than the one they were assigned by
the time they are toddlers.”[13]
In the parlance of transgenderism, we are not born with a
biological sex, it is assigned at birth.
Children choosing to change their sex, with the approval of
their “woke” parents and the affirmation of therapists and clinicians, start
with the purely social changes. They adopt a new name, insist on being
addressed by the proper pronouns in school, and cross-dress. Next, when
entering adolescence they are prescribed puberty-blocking medications, followed
by cross-sex hormones. In their mid-teens they can undergo “top” surgery,
mastectomies for girls, and breast enhancement for boys. Finally, they have
“bottom” surgery where the intimate surgical mutilation is performed on their
genitalia. Further medicinal and possible surgical treatments can be required
throughout their lives. Sterility is a common side-effect.
In the UK, during 2009-10 a total of 40 girls were referred
for gender reassignment surgery. By 2017-18 the number had risen to 1,806. That
is a 4,400 percent increase over eight years. For boys seeking to become girls,
the respective numbers are 57 to 713, a 1,150 percent increase[14].
Here in the US, according to the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law,
it is estimated that 150,000 teenagers aged 13 to 17 identify as transgender as
of 2017[15].
What we have here is a social contagion, mass hysteria,
where children going through the trials and tribulations of growing up are
encouraged through peer pressure and destructive cultural messages from
authority figures to believe that their angst and inner turmoil are due to
being born the wrong “assigned” sex.
Child drag queens
The normalization of homosexuality, and now of transgenderism,
has led to the collapse of yet another moral safeguard against societal chaos:
the protection of childhood innocence. Until just a few scant years ago,
preventing the sexualization of children was a sacrosanct value, embraced by
those across the political spectrum. Only a pariah organization like NAMBLA[16]
defended pedophilia. Now this immoral contagion has infected those arbiters of
psychological normalcy, the APA, who have been testing the waters and floating
trial balloons since 1998[17],[18],[19],
including their infamous correction of the “error” in the introduction of the
5th edition of the DSM in 2013 that temporarily reclassified pedophilia as a
sexual orientation.[20]
It appears the time is ripe for normalizing the
sexualization of children. Witness ‘Desmond is Amazing,’ the adolescent drag
queen, and nine-year-old Kween Kee Kee, the latest internet sensation. Both of
these children are fully supported by their parents who manage their “careers.”
‘Desmond is Amazing’s web site[21]
features this description:
Desmond Napoles (stage name: Desmond is Amazing) is a
12-year old drag kid, awarded LGBTQ advocate, outspoken gay youth, editorial
and runway model, public speaker, performer, founder of his own drag house: the
Haus of Amazing, fashion designer, film and TV actor, published author, muse,
legendary up-and-coming member of the original pioneering voguing house, the
House of UltraOmni, and icon from New York City. Most importantly, he is an
inspiration to many and a representation of hope for the future to come.
Desmond was featured on NBC’s Today show[22] and ABC’s Good
Morning America, to the sheer delight of the hosts and the audience[23].
Part of his business model includes dancing for men in gay bars, which is
proudly defended by his mom[24].
His performance at the 3 Dollar Bill, a “queer venue”—i.e., a gay sex
cabaret—in Brooklyn, was met with outrage on social media, but defended by his
mom on Facebook[25]:
"Articles have been coming out claiming that my son
danced half naked and stripped in a sleazy gay bar for grown men who threw
dollars at him and is being exploited and forced to perform...
THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN BLATANT HOMOPHOBIA and display of
the grossly outdated belief that gay men are pedophiles... His engagements are
contracted and booked by his management agency... All of his performances are
conducted in accordance with the Department of Labor’s regulations for child
performers."
Waxing philosophically, she concludes,
"...drag is changing and becoming more widespread and
popular with people of all ages, genders, identities, races, abilities, and
disabilities... Instead of tearing drag kids down, why not mentor them? They
are the future of drag."
But he’s now twelve, and may be approaching his expiration
date. Kween Kee Kee is the up-and-comer. He has a social media presence, but as
of this writing lacks a business web site[26]. His parents
need to step up their game.
* * *
The great irony in all this is that a socialist tyranny,
such as the USSR or China, are criticized for indoctrinating sexual mores into
its children, though with the express purpose of socializing their children
toward building healthy families through marriage, something actually
beneficial to society. But what we are doing in the now “godless” secular West,
is promoting only the deviant and perverse aspects of sexuality to our
children, while ensuring that no healthy traditional family values stemming
from common sense or... shudder... religion... are allowed to contaminate the
progressive, “inclusive” curriculum. Because, you know... the ACLU and that
separation of Church and State thing... It’s really quite mind-boggling.
The other mass hysteria
In the 1970s and 80s another mass hysteria swept the country.
Fantastical reports of pre-school centers fronting satanic cults practicing ritual
ceremonies with children made national headlines. Zealous prosecutors, credulous
psychiatrists expert in “recovered memory syndrome,” as well as stupid virtue-signaling
adults from all walks of life, all “believed the children.” Innocent victims of
the witchhunt languished in prison for decades. Fells Acre daycare in Massachusetts
and the McMartin daycare center in California are the two most infamous cases,
but countless fathers in custody disputes across the country lost all contact
with their children due to the seeds planted by the child sex-abuse hysteria believers.
Absurd allegations were implanted into the minds of innocent children by crusading
child advocates and psychiatrists. Who knows how many of those scarred children
eventually faced up to the truth about their “recovered memories”? How many
father-child relationships were irreparably harmed, many permanently destroyed?
The cult of “transgenderism” is now a mass delusion of epic
proportions. The similarities are striking. Despite the evidence of
de-transitioners (those who change back to their real sex) and “desistsers” (those
who experience “gender dysphoria” but naturally grow out of it before taking
any steps to transition), the “affirmers” will not be swayed.
An article in the left-wing Atlantic acknowledging that not
every case of sexual dysphoria that culminates in the full monty medical
process is a “success”—and highlighting some specific tragic results—generated
howls of outrage.[27]
Left-wing news outfit ThinkProgress chides “desistance” research,
referring to the “desistance myth” as “the pernicious junk science stalking
trans kids.”[28]
The Human Rights Campaign advise parents who aren’t sure if their kid is
transgender to “consult a gender specialist...” and reminds them, “being
transgender is not a phase, and trying to dismiss it as such can be harmful
during a time when your child most needs support and validation.”[29]
A leading trans-affirmer psychologist, Diane Ehrensaft, is
one who “believes the children”:
“It’s the children who are now leading us... If you listen
to the children, you will discover their gender... It is not for us to tell,
but for them to say.”[30]
The casualties of this mega-folly will not just be those
transgender children that survive to become tragic, twisted malformed adults (according
to a 2014 study, 41 percent of trans respondents had attempted suicide[31]).
A decade-or-so hence, when these “experiments” have reached full adulthood—and
when we come to our senses—the full effects of our insanity will dwarf the
fallout from the ritual child abuse hysteria of the seventies and eighties. The
“woke” parents and sex change-affirming clinicians who encouraged them will
sleep with guns under their pillows, in mortal fear of the retribution their
charges will visit upon them.
Genderbending
When did “gender-bending” first become a thing? In April
1977, the TV soap opera All That Glitters debuted, running for 65 episodes over
13 weeks. It may have been the first instance of a trans-type meme reaching for
a mass audience. The show’s setting was a world of gender role-reversal, with
women occupying traditional male roles of business executives and breadwinners,
and men suffering the slings and arrows of the weaker sex’s lot in life as
secretaries or stay-at-home house-husbands.
Though a commercial failure at the time, since then
gender-bending is invariably portrayed as a social and artistic good. What was
once “edgy” fare has now become the norm. In TV and movies, women are
frequently cast in leadership roles: the hard-bitten police commissioner, the
tough-as-nails soldier, ass-kicking superhero, the empathetic political leader
whose inner strength and determination comes to fore during moments of crisis,
etc. Men are relegated to subordinate roles, often doting on and competing for
the female protagonist’s affections. Cue Gravity and The Hunger Games. Even
historical dramas set in the patriarchal past have been retrofitted with the
new sex-role inversion. PBS’ Jamestown comes to mind, and the 1994 TV movie Guinevere.
Genderized names for female occupations (waitress, actress, heroine) have all
been successfully expunged from the language.
Normalization of homosexuality
The normalization of homosexuality was a gradual process,
but received a huge boost when the APA de-pathologized it in 1973, removing it
from the second edition of the DSM—the same year as Rowe v. Wade, coincidently.
Since then, la différence has been inexorably demoted in
every facet of the culture. Certainly, Hollywood and the entertainment industry
have done their part; but have they set the trend or are they accurately
reflecting it?
A recent photo of San Francisco officials shows lesbian
Chief of Police Heather Fong, transgender President of the SF Police Commission
Theresa Sparks (also the CEO of a multi-million dollar sex toy retailer), and a
transgendered male police officer, Sgt. Stephan Thorne. The accompanying text
reads:
Where else are you going to find an Asian lesbian police
chief, one deputy chief who is a woman who was a man, another deputy chief who
is a man who was a woman, and a police commissioner who was a man and is now a
woman whose full-time job is running a dildo store. Now that's “diversity”!!!
But any discussion of homosexuality should begin by recognizing
its distinctly different character in men and women. Homosexuality is
congenital in a very small fraction of the population. Reproductive biology and
mathematics dictate this. I’m more inclined to believe it results from hormonal
causes in the womb rather than genetics. Whatever its cause, congenital
homosexuality accounts for the smallest fraction of practicing homosexuals in
the general population. Homosexuality that is not innate is due to
adaptive/learned behavior. It is from here, accounting for its greatest
prevalence, where the differences between male and female homosexuality
diverge.
Female sexuality is far more plastic than men’s. Prison is
the ideal laboratory for analyzing differences in male and female
homosexuality. (Religious orders aren’t a good laboratory, as those entering
one do so willingly, and it’s entirely possible (probable?) that innate sexual
inclinations may play a part in the choice to join a celibate order.) Weaker men
are ready targets for brutal rapes, and some adapt to the traumatic nightmare reality
by acquiescing, essentially adopting the role of the submissive homosexual partner
simply to survive. The majority of male prisoners of course, don’t voluntarily
adopt homosexuality as the outlet for their normal sexual urges.
The opposite is true in women’s prisons. The majority of female
inmates pair off, and not always into dominant/masculine – submissive/female pairings.
Women have a need for physical intimacy that overrides the natural aversion to
same-sex couplings. Men, who also have a need for physical intimacy, can more
readily adapt to a solitary existence.
Conclusions
Transgenderism, for some, could be viewed as the logical
endpoint of homosexuality. Same-sex attraction is certainly akin to adopting
the identity of the opposite sex, in at least some percentage of homosexuals.
The present transgender social contagion, then, can be seen as an inevitable
side-effect of the normalization of homosexuality within a modern society
capable of medical miracles.
The rejection of biological sex as a unique binary
identifier is perhaps the ultimate insanity to afflict a culture, and may be an
evolutionary signal that ours is entering its death throes. In Civilization in
the Crosshairs I observed that someone who “can be convinced that procreation
isn’t a prerequisite for any rational definition of marriage, can be convinced
of anything.” Procreation is life’s prime directive, second only to survival.
If you’re searching for a “meaning of life,” procreation is Nature’s answer.
All other answers—finding the “purposeful life,” transcending the wheel of
karma and reaching Nirvana, selfless love, serving others, leaving with the
most toys—are all rebuttable. Nature’s answer is not. It is instinctual, a hard-wired
biological commandment: Reproduce thyself! That is your purpose! Maybe your
offspring will be granted the privilege of learning the meaning of existence,
life, the universe, and everything.
Feminism’s goal is to dismantle the patriarchal order and
replace it with a matriarchal one. In relentless pursuit of its goal, it has
unintentionally beaten a path to its own demise. With biological male/transgendered
women elbowing their way onto women’s medal podiums and into their locker rooms
and bathrooms and yes, lesbian bars, there will no longer be any “sacred, safe
spaces” for women.
According to Michael Biggs, a sociology professor at the University
of Oxford, “the end of segregation by sex threatens the dignity and safety of
women rather than men, because men are more violent and sexually predatory than
women.”[32]
He goes on to list female political leaders who have championed transgender
rights in the UK, including former Prime Minister Theresa May, Scotland’s
lesbian First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, and a host of other women. The list
demonstrates that transgenderism is being promoted overwhelmingly by women in
government and academia. “Transgender doctrines are enforced by the burgeoning
diversity-industrial complex which was created by feminists and is disproportionately
staffed by women” he asserts, and “virtually the entire feminist establishment
has embraced transgenderism.”
“The evidence is overwhelming,” he concludes, “Transgenderism—a
“men’s rights movement”(!)[33]—has
greater support from women than from men, and its success has depended on women
in power who brandish their feminist credentials.”
Feminism naturally allies with any cause that opposes the
patriarchal order. The LGBT movement is an extension of feminism; it works
directly to undermine the atomic unit of society: the biological nuclear
family. Lesbianism is the ultimate (non-violent) expression of male hatred—the
rejection of male sexual partnership, the only way to procreate. This is not
the case for male homosexuality—in fact, more like the opposite. Gay men
frequently socialize with women and are more comfortable with them. There is no
inherent element of misogyny in the gay community. Gay men love women. Lesbians,
on the other hand, that majority that adapted to it, invariably learned it from
bad experiences... with men. Overthrowing the patriarchy is the common goal of
feminists—lesbian or otherwise. The patriarchy is the enemy of transgenders,
also. It is the patriarchy that insists on rigid sex roles, anathema to
transgenderism, to ensure the survival and prosperity of the tribe via the
health and maintenance of the nuclear family, its fundamental building block.
* * *
Just as a transgendered woman like Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner
can never shed his biological masculinity, feminists cannot succeed in building
a matriarchal civilization. Like Bruce Jenner, they can appear to succeed, but
as time wears on the masquerade begins to disintegrate. Any matriarchal society
will be short-lived; either collapsing from within or falling to an external,
patriarchal enemy. (Most likely the former preceding an invitation to the
latter. Refer to p. 109.) There are no historical matriarchal societies. There
are (feminist) theories of pre-historical ones, based on a ceramic idol here
and an arrowhead there, but where is the proof? Where are the monuments of the
great, ancient matriarchal civilizations?
Take Sweden. The most feminist nation on Earth is now the
world’s number two rape capital of the world. Swedish men did not suddenly find
their mojo and channel their inner Viking. The sexual assaults and rapes are
being committed by the hundreds of thousands of immigrants welcomed by Swedes
(particularly the women) from parts of the world that not only share none of
their customs or norms of civil behavior, but belong to a religious culture
that actually demonizes the liberal value system of the modern European
nation-state. With this immigrant population now exceeding 18 percent of
Sweden’s population, and the demographic realities of the respective birth
rates (like the rest of the West, native Swedes are not replacing themselves;
yet the immigrant share of the births is now 22 percent[34]), it is only a
matter of time until the world’s foremost feminist state collapses, with the
immigrant population using democracy to topple democracy and usher in a
patriarchal theocracy.
Sweden serves as a warning of what can happen when a society
chooses to promote sexual agency for women. It doesn’t work. Female sexuality
is such a powerful force that it must be circumscribed by social rules and
conventions, if not by law. History speaks unanimously to this point. Every
civilization has mechanisms for constraining female promiscuity. In the Islamic
world, it carries a death sentence. In the West (until the sexual revolution of
the sixties), shame and stigma were the penalties. The iron fist of the law
wasn’t necessary, as the economic realities resulting from out-of-wedlock
pregnancy were enough for womenfolk to police each other, especially
generationally.
Civilization cannot survive untethered female sexuality. It
is a biological imperative for men to know with certainty that they are the
true fathers of their children. The marriage contract is intended to provide
this guarantee through a wife’s sexual fidelity.
These concepts are now viewed as quaint anachronisms...
ancient history. The steady stream of female empowerment since the
birth-control pill has grown to a torrent. No-fault divorce. Abortion and child
support regimes gave women ownership of the “means of reproduction,” and from
that flowed a tsunami of new “equal rights” that effectively quashed any
residual power that men still had in their relationships with women and their
own children, legal or otherwise.
The MeToo movement is the latest theater in what has become
a real war of the sexes. Like so many of the previous power grabs, it relies on
the unquestioned status of women as victims of some facet of men’s bad behavior.
Sexual congress between men and women is something that by its physical nature
lends itself to male domination. An aggressive woman cannot force a man to have
an erection. The opposite situation, however, is all too true—it’s called rape.
How can something so manifestly unbalanced be switched? How can women gain
control of the “rules of engagement”?
Only through force of law. Laws and public policy governing
sex have been an unceasing battleground with movement in one direction only:
men ceding territory to women. Statutory rape laws criminalize men having sex
voluntarily with girls under the age of consent (16 in most states but up to 18
in 19 states). Accusations of rape or sexual assault are fertile ground for
women to fraudulently punish a man for an encounter that resolves to “he
said/she said” allegations. Outrageous miscarriages of justice have taken place
in colleges, in no small part due to Obama’s “Dear Colleague” policy previously
mentioned.
The MeToo movement is in that tradition. Its alleged aim seeks
to expose the prevalence of men using positions of power to coerce sexual
favors from women. The Hollywood parties where women are loosened with liquor
to incapacitate them and render them unable to give legal consent to sex. In such
circumstances women are stripped of any responsibility for their actions. That
women intentionally drink, and perhaps drug, specifically to lose their
inhibitions because their objective is to hook up—this cannot possibly happen.
Similarly, that young attractive women knowingly trade sex for the possibility
of career advancement, not just in Hollywood, but in business and perhaps politics—this
too, the sexual quid pro quo, cannot exist in the MeToo universe.
As a result of MeToo many prominent men, many formerly
well-loved liberal “pro-feminist” public figures such as Al Franken and Matt
Lauer, have seen 180-degree reversals of fortune. Once celebrities, now
pariahs... and many now behind bars. Many of these men are what we call alpha
males. “Players.” The guys who got all the chicks. The ones other guys envied.
So what’s MeToo’s message to men? To the beta males: nothing.
No impact. Alpha males are the target. Professional athletes. Celebrities used
to women falling at their feet. Hollywood directors. Alpha businessmen. Men in
walks of life and in positions of personal power where there was little need to
pursue women—they naturally flocked to them. Donald Trump? Certainly. He’s a
candidate for a MeToo lawsuit.
The message, then, to alpha males, is this: Be careful.
Watch out. If you don’t change your ways, you can be brought down. Easily.
It’s a message intended to curtail the sexuality of those aggressive
males who are biological success stories: their sperm is shared with the most
females. It’s a message designed to take out alpha males, leaving... the betas.
Entirely consistent with, and frankly necessary for, the feminist objective: dismantling
the patriarchy and replacing it with a matriarchal order. A world of beta males
will be much easier to control.
These then, are the fruits of feminism: declining birth
rates, female teachers seducing schoolboys, fatherless children, the hookup
culture, the death of female modesty, weak men, rampant homosexuality, sexual
confusion, transgenderism and other insane social experiments. Faggotized men,
drag queen boys, Drag Queen story hours in public libraries, butch and
butchered girls, social and moral decay and eventual civilizational collapse.
It took less than six months to get from the legalization of
gay marriage (6/26/15) to Drag Queen Story Hour. How long until pedophilia is
normalized by those brahmins of the human condition, the APA (American
Psychological Association)? Real pedophilia, that is—not the phony kind where
men are taken down for lusting after physically mature girls who fall under the
legal “age of consent.” How long before it’s given the legal imprimatur of
those guardians of human rights, the ABA (American Bar Association)?

Biggs writes: From the start of the second wave, some radical feminists opposed the
inclusion of male-to-female transsexuals under the general heading of “women.”
Their argument culminated in Janice Raymond’s Transsexual Empire (1979): “All
transsexuals rape women’s bodies by reducing the real female form to an
artifact.” Transsexualism, she observed, was the creation of medical men like
John Money and Harry Benjamin. As the current wave of transgenderism was
building at the beginning of the 21st century, a handful of radical lesbian
feminists warned that it was detrimental to the material interests of women.
