Gay and suicidal

Speaking of cheating swimmers, yesterday Axios ran a long-overdue story headlined, “Trans swimmer Lia Thomas' records revoked in UPenn deal with Trump admin.” It’s much better than that.

As part of a newly inked deal with the Department of Education to comply with federal bans on transgender athletes in women's sports, U. Penn agreed to retroactively strip “Lia” Thomas of his swimming records and titles in ladies’ swimming. School officials also agreed that henceforth, no perverts will be allowed in women’s “intimate facilities” (locker rooms and bathrooms). Penn will also adopt definitions for “male” and “female” consistent with biological sex, and will restore the stolen records and titles to female athletes.

Best of all, Penn must issue personal apologies to each impacted female swimmer.

A trans-identified male who pled guilty to second-degree murder of his former cellmate has filed multiple lawsuits against officials with the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), as well as the state’s governor, seeking over $1 billion in compensation for “medical neglect.” Andre Cashmere Patterson, also known as Janiah Monroe, is also seeking a reduction in his sentence.

Despite being recorded under his birth name and sex within the IDOC records, Patterson is currently housed in a women’s prison. His transfer to Logan Correctional Center was secured in 2019 after his legal challenge, filed by Chicago-based legal group the Uptown People’s Law Center, was supported by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois (ACLU).

Within months of his transfer to Logan, Patterson was accused of raping a female inmate. In June of 2019, a woman who was made to share a housing unit with Patterson filed a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) report alleging that he had raped her. Under the protection of anonymity, “Jane Doe” also accused prison officials of attempting to coach her to lie about her ordeal.

While multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were mentioned in the court case, Patterson remains in the women’s prison due to a court-ordered stay – though attempts have been made by IDOC authorities to have him transferred back to a men’s facility. However, Patterson has proven to be a vexatious litigant who actively files legal claims contending that he is the victim of discrimination. ...

Patterson also has demanded financial compensation to the tune of $1.1 billion, alleging his 8th amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment have been violated, and, that as a man who claims to be a transgender woman, he has a disability which requires special protections.

According to one of the several claims, Patterson argues that governor Pritzker and IDOC authorities “have been deliberately indifferent to [his] serious medical and mental health needs,” which he says violates a “constitutional duty” to provide him with mental health care.

Back in January, I started covering on my Substack the Zizians, a transgender vegan animal rights effective altruist rationalist high IQ computer geek murder cult. In contrast, it took the New York Times four weeks longer to get around to writing about the Zizians, and then it didn’t mention that most of the violent cultists are transgender ex-men.

Some of the delay seemed to stem from the Times laboring last winter to avoid committing to any pronouns for the killers in order cover up their transgenderness from the the Times’ 11 million mostly sensitive subscribers, who tend to have strong biases about who are the bad guys and who are the good gals, and didn’t want to read about transgender women being the new Manson Family.

And then finally, in the 27th paragraph, comes the revelation that the leader of the murder cult being trans is not just a random fluke but is part of a defining pattern:

"Ziz’s clique was predominantly transgender or nonbinary, and several worked or interned at tech outfits like Google, Oracle and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration." ...

The article goes on from there at some length about whether Rationalism is to blame, but never considers the question of the role of transgenderism in this appalling table.

Our society has sanctified ex-men, despite the abundant evidence that more than a few of them represent masculinity at its most toxic.

Speaking of wedge issues, if you wanted a clearer sign than this that the culture is shifting, I don’t know what it could be. Yesterday, the New York Times ran a remarkable story headlined, “Democrats Lost Voters on Transgender Rights. Winning Them Back Won’t Be Easy.” This is the same Grey Lady that used to publish hysterical headlines about Republicans erasing trans people.

Democrats’ problem with transgender politics isn’t just about policy. It’s about perception, ideological purity, and fear of their own coalition. The issue didn’t register in polling as any top concern for voters in 2024, but party strategists now admit the “relentless Republican attacks” worked. “We try so hard to represent everybody,” conceded former Biden campaign manager Greg Schultz, “we alienate everybody.” ...



The Times generously described the problem as Democrats “getting ahead of voters,” as though the uneducated electorate simply hasn’t caught up to their more enlightened moral arc. But the truth is less heroic: the party got sucked into a purity spiral, elevating ever-narrower litmus tests enforced by activists with more Twitter followers than constituents. Instead of persuading voters, they performatively virtue-signaled to each other until the applause fell silent after Trump’s landslide victory and, looking up from their phones at last, they realized the room was empty.

“Getting ahead” implies vision. This was just downhill velocity. ...

This wasn’t just a Democrat messaging failure. It was a clarifying moment for the whole country. The trans sports issue didn’t move millions of votes on its own; it revealed just how fragile the Democrats’ cultural consensus had become. A party built on carefully curated identities and queer intersectional slogans at last proved unable to defend basic concepts like fairness, childhood, or biological reality.

Our first crazy story exposed MORE trans violence.

Zayn Edward Arcand, a “genderfluid, polyamorous sometimes female” person, was just arrested for allegedly trying to BURN DOWN the Dickinson County, MI Republican Committee headquarters.




Arcand admitted to throwing the Molotov cocktail at the Republican Party office "to send a message against the corruption.” Arcand has been charged with arson and manufacturing, and possessing a Molotov cocktail.

No Democrats condemned it and the MSM barely covered it.

The left appears to have no understanding of the degree to which the adoption of gender ideology by social institutions destroyed the credibility and legitimacy of those institutions. To make matters even worse, the left appears to have no idea WHY the adoption of gender ideology was so corrosive to the credibility and legitimacy of the social institutions that adopted it.

The left seems to have thought that if all the sense-making institutions of the west proclaimed in unison that:

-Men can become women
-Children can choose their gender
-12 year olds should be allowed to get puberty blockers if they want to change their sex
-Biological males who identify as women ought to be able to compete in women’s sports

this would result in the ideas and values of gender ideology being adopted by the public. It appears that the writers, publishers, thinkers, academics, and elite professionals believed that if medical professionals, academics, journalists, legislators, and public intellectuals proclaimed this new understanding of sex and gender to be a fact the public would follow suit, and in time that gender ideology would come to be seen as clear and obvious common sense.

But that is not what happened.

What actually happened was that the general public stood aghast at the fact that their prestigious social institutions could possibly adopt such obviously terrible ideas. People could not believe their eyes when academics and doctors with advance degrees proclaimed that 12 years olds could change their gender, and they were shocked when journalists not only refused the challenge these claims, but actively participated in proclaiming these claims to be stone cold fact. Not only did the public refuse to adopt these views, but they actively rejected them. ...

Following the Marxist thinker Antonio Gramsci, large portions of the left came to believe that the culture at large functioned as a sort of enormous apparatus of social control that operated by inculcating certain norms, ideas, beliefs and values into the consciousness of the general public. The idea is that the ruling class can embed its ideas, values, and beliefs into the culture, and this will result in the general public ends adopting the values and beliefs that are embedded into the culture by the ruling class.

Outraged mother Karen Powers delivered an impassioned speech at the meeting, drawing loud applause from other parents.

“A longtime beloved coach of the girls’ volleyball team quit, and if she is here or watching, I have the utmost respect for you standing firm on your morals and values,” she said before shouting:

“It’s not a girl’s responsibility to feel uncomfortable or unsafe for the sake of a boy pretending to be a girl! He should be participating in sports designated for boys because he will always be one! ...

Angela Christman, a teacher and mother, condemned the district’s policies as a violation of privacy and safety.

“My daughter will not hide in spaces where she was told she would be protected.

“And she will not be counseled into feeling comfortable taking her clothes off in front of a 6-foot-4 biological male, and frankly, it’s criminal that that’s the solution that you offer.”

Another mother, Vickie Wilson, called the policy “egregiously unfair” and accused the district of pushing harmful ideology.

“If you actually cared about these kids, you wouldn’t promote a dangerous ideology that does not get to the root of their problems.

“It pushes experimental and dangerous interventions that enable greedy people to turn them into lifelong lucrative patients, very often leading to serious regret and higher suicidality.”

The New York Times, everyone.

Meanwhile, here's what anyone with a brain knew within hours of the shooting yesterday.

The killer in Minnesota was a young man who thought he was a girl, his mom worked at the school he shot up, and he formerly attended the same school.

He had a sticker of a transgender flag with an AK-47 and the word "equality," showcasing common "Trantifa" (transgender Antifa) threats of violence.

He also mocked Christ and Christians, as well as Jews.

He drew a layout of the church and then stabbed it with a knife. On video.

But the most prestigious newspaper on the planet doesn't know what his motive is. They made sure to call him a "her" though!! ...

It's funny how politicians, police, and the media spout out a motive immediately when, say, a Catholic kid wearing a MAGA hat is on TV.
They immediately pronounced that Nicholas Sandmann was harassing a Native America guy (a lie). They knew that Kyle Rittenhouse was a murderer (a lie). They said Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd's neck (a lie) because of systemic racism (a lie). They said a young man shot up an Asian massage parlor in Georgia because he was racist (a lie). They said Donald Trump thinks white supremacists are "very fine people" (a lie).

All the fake news does is give us lies about motive when it fits their agenda.
But when it comes to Islamic terrorism or Trantifa shooters with demonic scribblings who target churches for the expressed desire of killing Christian kids?

MOTIVE UNKNOWN!!
