An interesting piece by Kevin Downey Jr from PJ Media. Remember when your mom would say “if all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?” Well, you were a teen or younger. Of course you would!
Against All Odds: Mother Tells How Her Daughter and Every One of Her Friends Are Suddenly Trans
When I was a teenager, the cool kids smoked cigarettes. Today they cut off their weiners.
A mom writing for Substack’s “Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans” is claiming that her kid went full trans-tard after going to a new, woke, trans-happy school.
She starts her article with this: “My teenage daughter has decided that she is “trans”. So have all her friends. Not some of them. Not most of them. Every. Single. One.”
The anonymous mother also states that her daughter showed no signs of gender dysphoria and had never heard the word “transgender” before enrolling at her new school. That’s where she met a group of nerdy, artsy kids. They began looking into all things transgender on the internet.
Then, one day, sha-ZAM! They were all suddenly “trans.” They no longer had any desire to speak with the “cis” kids, (that means cisgender, i.e. normal, not trans, not interested in disfiguring their genitals to be cool).
I wonder how they learned all this?
How can a bunch of kids suddenly all be trans? It’s what we call a “social contagion,” which Oxford Reference defines as “The spread of ideas, attitudes, or behaviour patterns in a group through imitation and conformity. Also called behavioural contagion.”
It’s when a group of people all start imitating each other to fit in.
You wanted to do what your friends did. You became part of a group, and did what they did, right? And, these days, kids think teachers are cool, and when they’re teaching about all these cool, popular stuff, the kids want to do that. Maybe not all of it. While I smoke a lot of pot, did some hash and LCD, I never went in for cocaine in that group. I drank, but, not a lot (not till college). While I love metal, I hung with lots of the surfers, and dressed like that. These days, lots of kids are seriously all in 100% on this cool new thing of saying you’re trans, dressing that way, taking the pills and stuff, wacking their sexual organs.
I’d recommend reading the piece in full, followed by
Gainesville residents need to step outside the liberal echo chamber
We all need to get out more and seek views from numerous sources, especially those with which we differ. We shouldn’t believe the “groupthink” that what we and our friends believe reflects the will of the people. And we need to stop ascribing evil motives to those with whom we disagree.
I take part in a weekly dialogue with other retirees. They are bright, well-spoken, generally courteous and very liberal. I am a conservative and enjoy the dialogue. It has taught me a lot but, at times, the discussions get a little frothy, despite a moderator, and reflect the tendency to extrapolate one’s views to voters at large.
For example, we had a discussion about the Parental Rights in Education bill. I support the bill. My view may have induced tachycardia in some and was described by some liberals as transphobic, bigoted, mean-spirited, anti-gay and worse.
My critics believed that nobody supported the bill, other than, to be kind, the evil folks. However, recent polling by Public Opinion Strategies showed strong support among Americans who actually read the bill, and did not rely on characterizations and the screeds of the pundit class.
Again, read the rest. The thing is, so many of these elitists, or think they’re elite, leftists see zero shades of gray, and are unwilling to entertain anything outside their bubble. Not even willing to listen. They want alternative viewpoints shut down. They find them to be evil.
OMG !!! Every single minor in the USA is having gender reassignment surgery right now!! Thst is hideous thanks for telling us. I had absutely no idea that was going on.
In fact I thought that in the USA very few people statistically identify as transgender 0.6%
Well I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised not after today seeing on Drudge that Trump loving super right wing conservative congressman (RNC) Madison Cawthorn seems to enjoy being seductively posed in women’s lingerie. Will our primary school boys now begin to copy and mimic him? Are cool kids going to begin copying our most visible Republican leaders?
I blame Biden for forcing him to do that
Okay Hairy, how many minors have to be talked into being mutilated before you think there’s a problem?
Yep, the ubermasculine Cawthorn (Q-NC) was seen in lovely lingerie. He will no doubt be re-elected by rural North Carolinians.
The horror. An ultra-cunservative “man” indulging his girlish fantasies. Don’t discuss why some cunservative men like to wear women’s lingerie as some children may decide to try it!!
If you haven’t wondered what it would be like to be the opposite sex, you’re pretty intellectually incurious. If you’ve decided that you want your body mutilated to become a simulacrum of the other sex, you’re just plain insane.
If there are 57+ “genders” how come “trans-gender” mutilations only go two ways? Does no one want to become one of the other 55 “genders”? That sounds very discriminatory.
What do you suggest?
Speaking of mutilations, do you realize some men get hair tranplants, facial cosmetic surgery, pectoral and butt implants, vasectomies, fat sculpting and even have botulinum toxin injected to reduce wrinkles? Even worse with the mutilation of females, fallopian tubes “tied”, and who get breasts enlarged and their faces and bodies rebuilt to satisfy some image of sustained youth!!
And the mutilations that take place during cancer surgeries!! OMG! Breasts, uteri, ovaries, prostates, testicles, lungs, thyroids, kidneys, colons, pancreas are sliced out of bodies. Some are bombarded with radiation too.
Simulacrum… new word for me, thanks!
Guidelines are that any gender affirmation surgeries not take place before the age of 18. You can join the Army at 16. Mutilations occur every day in Ukraine, some as early as 6 mos of age.
Gender dysphoria is a real condition and is not insanity. There are a number of surgeries that can be involved in gender affirmation including breast reconstruction, facial reconstruction, adams apple reduction, ovariectomy, orchidectomy, hysterectomy, fat redistribution, vaginoplasty, scrotoplasty…
If you think recognizing trans people causes trans people YOU are insane… or cunservative… same thing.
Jeff,
Lying again. “Gender dysphasia” is a mental illness and a delusion. You know nothing of medicine.
Kindle strikes again. Dysphasia is supposed to be dysphoria.
Grooooomer Teach asks: Why do so many identify as LGBTQ now…
(if they do)… after all it’s an anonymous screed in a right-wing organ.
In any event, sounds like another right-wing scare story! Middle school kids getting their weiners cut off! Parents: talk with your children. Listen to them. Understand what they’re saying. Your daughter questioning her gender is less dangerous than fentanyl or methamphetamine or tobacco. Part of adolescence is to rebel AGAINST what your parents and authorities say and do. And kids today have a lot to rebel against.
And all these tweens were in school that DIDN’T grooooooom them for trans issues!! According to Ron derSantis it only started less than a year ago, otherwise he would have been on the case earlier.
The hair-on-fire Republicuns are apeshit crazy over derSantis’s campaign ploy. He struck a nerve with the fascist right cunts and hopes to ride it to victory in 2024. derSantis/Mickey 2024!
