Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
You know that zany idea that females are members of class of people that have some specific concerns in society – partly due to their biology – and they might organize around those concerns for the betterment of all those who share similar characteristics.
But what you really need, according to the post, is to centre men in your work, because that is surefire way to victory…

Why doesn’t someone ask these men, point-blank: Why are they so (apparently) uncomfortable being MEN in the first place? I mean, we know the majority of them are *not* gay (as-evidenced by their obsession with invading female spaces or the ones prosecuted for having committed outright rape)….so(?), why the constant clown world masquerade and insanity level worse than the “science” found inside a 1920s Tennessean schoolbook (or….”medical advice” like: when old 1950s tobacco advertisements paid doctors to proclaim smoking aided in food digestion!).
It’s, I think, because it has to do with one of two things (which, no matter how they try to obfuscate it, I am convinced played a major part in making these men sociopathic): 1. these men are byproducts of precisely the same, misogynistic, abuse culture of religion/militarism/dysfunctionally egomaniacal family backgrounds imperial-leaning societies believe is some kind-of “values system”; and 2. THEY (these men) are *exactly* the representation of the sickness/madness/poison the foundation of such societies ARE built upon at their core (which, of course, is why they seem to be accommodated out of the woodwork disproportionately beyond belief with such a well-connected financial push and like a literal “Emperor’s New Clothes” press narrative).
No matter how much a subset of these men may have come from a really criminally abusive background the family hid (at least, the ones older than when the social media contagion started), the nature of men when it comes to abuse unfortunately just morphs into the next generation of abusers; rather than stopping it (because, again, they are so indoctrinated by a toxic system from birth they are brainwashed into believing is almighty and serves THEIR POWER).

I remember when cross-dressers WERE proud men, they just liked wearing women’s clothing. They weren’t pretend women, they weren’t saying they were “really” women, they weren’t trans activist, they weren’t trying to get children on their trans train. They were COOL with who they were & that was that. I miss those days.

Another thing … all this “pride” business … it seems to me that if you have to proclaim your pride everywhere with flags & clothing & bumper stickers & tattoos & “putting it out there for the world to see”, then maybe it isn’t about pride, maybe it’s about insecurity & low-self esteem, because if you’re secure about yourself & who you are, you don’t have to proclaim it to the world 24/7 & have everyone else affirm who you are. You don’t care what other people think.

Given objective outside analysis, it seems quite likely that the new boss is just the old boss with a nice new shiny veneer of faux-progressive rainbow jargon. :/

What a great word. I’ll drop the definition her as well as I think it deserves some traction.
“”Baizuo” is a popular political epithet commonly used on the Chinese Internet. The literal translation is “white left” which refers to western white liberal leftists.[5] According to Chinese political scientist Chenchen Zhang, the word “Baizuo” refers to those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT rights and the environment”, but lack a concept of “real problems in the real world”. It is also used to describe those “hypocritical humanitarians who advocate political correctness just to satisfy their own sense of moral superiority”.[6][7] Some used this word to indicate those “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.[8]

I think a part of it being the need for social cohesion is pretty important to humans. The neo-rainbow bullshit bus is pretty accepting in the beginning as long as you parrot their particular brand of bullshit.
The culture does play a part, but consider that cluster B narcissistic personalities are given free reign and encouraged to be their true selves and *expect* validation from others as a part of queer identification. It is a match made in heaven (hell) and it would seem unsurprising that those particular types of individuals are drawn to this movement.
Agreed. We learn from our family and those around us. The choices we make though are ultimately ours. That is not to say that the range of choices isn’t limited by the society we inhabit, for I do believe this is the case. The system does have its share of blame, I agree, but I think we need to be judicious when it comes to totalizing blame for the actions of individuals based only on societal conditions.

Affirmation Only is fast becoming the medical outlier. For good reasons.
There’s a very insightful article written by Eliza Mondegreen here making a connection with some of your recent posts about the use of language and the attempt to alter reality with words. For example, she points out how the medical profession in journal studies is starting to hide ‘malpractice’ and ‘medical harm’ behind words like supporting an individual’s ‘gender journey’!
She asks,
“If there’s no reality of the situation, does that mean that no one was responsible, nothing was preventable (and why should any of it have been prevented, in the first place?), and no one was harmed? Does it mean that nothing really happened? That we simply ‘let’ someone—a child, perhaps—be their ‘true self’ and then their true self changed?”
Anyway, this house of cards that is gender ideology is leaving quite the wake and I’m not sure if those who double down on Affirmation Only can remain reputable after it crashes. Let’s hope not.
