RE: the ballet photo.
Imagine a group photo of firefighters consisting of three 6ft+ burly men and one diminutive female firefighter who got in thanks to a lowering of the physical requirements and affirmative action?
(oh look there's that word 'affirmative')
While looking at this picture would you see 'empowerment' or 'equality' or self indulgence' or 'a denial of biological reality'?
My point is that this really has nothing to do with (what used to be called) transexuals. This is not a new game. This is not a new cult. The cult is not 'trans'. The cult has appropriated 'trans'. I feel that is an important distinction to make.
The same 'liberating/ empowering' mindset that appropriated 'trans' in the 21st century appropriated 'women's issues' in the 20th century (also to much applause and flag waving). This is about 'intersectionality' which just means the cult will spread to all things and corrupt/ subvert/ exploit all of them in turn.
The promise is always the same - liberation, empowerment, self expression, authentic living etc.
The hard reality is the same - disillusionment, broken lives, divided families, unworkable society, social decay, mental health decline, confusion and radicalisation.
Nothing has changed. The only difference is that society is FINALLY being asked to make the same accommodations to men that it was asked to make for women. That's what most people are getting upset about right now. Women dressing up as firefighters was OK (even though this indulgence will cost lives), but men dressing up as ballerinas is not (because femininity is sacred). Society's lack of empathy and compassion for men, and a much lower tolerance for men's self indulgences and transgressions, may be what finally stops the progressive crazy train.
If not, then we will have to wait for the next meteorite to hit and reset society the hard way. Until 200 years ago it was a lack of technology (manual labour, scarce resources and hard living) that kept everyone's self indulgences in check. That's the bottom line. As a species we are still learning how to cope with the choices that modern technology provides us. Even the cult is a product of a post technological age.
