Cupcakes – Literal Violence

This all goes away once you accept the factual nature of biological reality. For instance the term woman does, in fact, equal adult human female. When your faux-progressive ideology takes a left turn away from material reality then you get bullshit laden threads like this one.

Hey Folks. This is a sad day for me. It is a day of mourning, a day of grief, a day of loss. Intransigentia as she is known here, my partner in life, crime, and marriage for the last 15 years and I are parting ways today. The house is sold, the belongings divvyed, the transition… moving… only forward now.
Way back when, in a different time, we were neophyte singers and we really enjoyed singing together. This was the first duet we ever sang together, it was extra special because she to arranged the counter-melody and scored the music for us to make it a duet. Her mother, a master pianist and accompanist played with us.  The Bach Gounod arrangement of Ave Maria is staggeringly beautiful, and I shall always remember singing it with her as one of the most treasured shared moments of our existence together.
If nothing else, we are the memories we make with the people we love. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share this musical experience with her, it means so much more now that things have changed so much.
So, I’m sharing this with all of you now, as a quasi memorial to what once was and the beauty and happiness that was once found there.
Life is change, whether we like it or not. Our life transition has been in the works since the beginning of the year, and I’ve been slowly digesting and processing the new context of what life is going to look like. Ultimately we’re both going to be okay and stuff so don’t worry about us.
Thank you for listening.  We’ll see you tomorrow.
