This is going to become more common..
It had been a relatively quiet policy debate until the full-page ad appeared in the local newspaper. “A male wants to shower beside your 14-year-old daughter,” it said. “Are you OK with that?”
The ad, placed by a socially conservative group in Minnesota, was meant to snap attention to a proposal to allow transgender students to play on teams based on their preferred gender rather than the sex assigned to them at birth.
It appears to have worked. More than 100 community members flooded a meeting this week near Minneapolis, and thousands more sent e-mails. In response, the quasi-public body governing high school sports in Minnesota decided to delay a vote on a new policy covering sports participation by transgender students. Members of the board of directors said they needed more time to study the issue.
The policy, which they now plan to vote on in December, was an attempt to grapple with a question that has bedeviled many states: How do you deal with the growing number of children identifying as transgender who want to participate in the highly gender-specific worlds of high school sports and extracurricular activities?
When the Left stopped using the word sex to mean male and female and started using the word “gender”, you know we were headed for trouble. Back then, the madness was about denying the obvious differences between boys and girls. Hilariously, they claimed that sex was a social construct, not a biological one. In order to mask the madness, they changed the language. If you let the lunatics control the language, everyone eventually sounds like a lunatic.
The fact that “growing number of children identifying as transgender” does not set off any alarm bells speaks volumes. Science tells us that human beings evolved very slowly over thousands of generations of trial and error. It does not happen overnight. Therefore, “new” traits and new “trends” are never new. Either we just discovered a way to notice or we are kidding ourselves, pretending the old is new. In the case of children suffering from the mental disease of “transgenerism” the latter is the most likely answer. Turning a mental disorder into a fad is almost as crazy as thinking you are the off-spring of a human-alien coupling.
Those crazy people I references at the start have been handed control of society. Now it is the sane who are tormented, wondering if they are the ones losing their minds because they don’t think reality is infinity negotiable. If you don’t want a homosexual taking your son into the woods, you’re a child abusing nut. If you think your daughter should not be forced to shower with the boys, you”re a sexist. If you punch a woman in the face, you’re a misogynistic monster, but if you come to that woman’s aid, you’re also a misogynistic monster.
In the madhouse of modern America, this makes sense, What’s wrong with you?
Madonna? Interesting… I knew a girl once who became infatuated with a man who thought he was the next saviour of humankind and insisted he be called ‘Maitreya.’ By all accounts he was persuasive in the way good salespeople are, and could do tricks like making people ignore pain when walking over hot coals. He also made endless pronouncements about the ‘nature of the evil of five’ to the point he banned anything that added up to five from his large house where fawning people gathered. Apparently his small band of followers were relieved he regarded the hand as four… Read more »
Isn’t it ALWAYS when “words mean something”, evolves into something disingenuous?
I know, I know, it’s retarded.
But the more people disingenuously “afflicted” on paper, the more “special considerations” supplant
SOMEBODY’S failure to hoe their own row.
