The Washington Post ran an extremely encouraging story earlier this month, headlined “Kansas Lawmakers Override Governor’s Veto to Enact Anti-Trans Sports Ban.”
Confused, cross-dressing boys in Kansas will no longer be allowed to play on girls’ sports teams from kindergarten through college, after Kansas state lawmakers overrode a veto from their governor to enact the restriction. Addled Governor Laura Kelly oddly quipped that the new law would “harm the mental health of our students.” ...
That wasn’t all. On Thursday, Kansas lawmakers overrode another Kelly veto and became the first state in the U.S. to enact a law defining “a woman” as “a human female,” and preventing government officials or judges from redefining the word to include biological men who “identify” as women.
SB 180 provides: “The terms ‘woman’ and ‘girl’ refer to human females, and the terms ‘man’ and ‘boy’ refer to human males.” It takes effect July 1st, and applies to all schools, locker rooms, prisons, domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers.
Tran Kansans fretted that the new law would prevent them from showing the wrong sex on their driver’s licenses.
Meanwhile, over in Riverside, California, a large, tall boy at MLK High School who’s been using the ladies bathrooms and locker rooms, beat up two girls, and that was after exposing his man stick and spitting on them.
I don’t know what the standards are these days, but tell me if this looks like a fair fight to you:
... Other parents who spoke at the meeting were equally passionate, but less polite. I can’t imagine it must be much fun to be an MLK school board member just now. They need to do the right thing and order all the schools to immediately remove biological boys from girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms. What’s so hard about that?
I think what all this pushback — in a CALIFORNIA high school, no less — shows is that the trans tide is turning, as more and more folks lose their fear of being canceled or otherwise socially ostracized for stating plain biological facts.
however one feels about gender identity, one thing remains clear:
demanding the right to one's own worldview is not consistent with demanding that all others alter theirs to agree.
it's self refuting.
if you will not accept the choices of others, why should they accept yours? ...
the kinds of positive rights structures that would allow me to require by law that you only describe the world as i see fit do not create a world any sane person should want to live in.
equating that with "tolerance" is a shabby rhetorical trick.
it’s not tolerance, it’s aggressive intolerance of any viewpoint save their own. it’s the adoption of entitlement and the presumption to dictate.
it’s not about choice, it’s about taking choice away. ...
“the whole world must abandon its views and adopt mine because, empathy” is literal lunatic level narcissistic projection.
and if it seems like “everyone is going along” a society fails to be able to see this and thought gets drowned in herd behavior. ...
it’s people driven mad by having so savagely brainwashed so many others that they cannot even hear what they have become and the sort of self-hatred they would experience if they realized it makes them ruthless in direct proportion to how fragile they have become. it’s addict behavior. it’s a world view eating itself but not yet in full retreat because of how emotionally messy it’s going to be for them and how little else they have to support them and their sense of self-importance.
but it’s coming. woke was over the picosecond it became OK to criticize it. the rest is just negotiating the terms of the surrender.
just keep calling it out. just keep speaking the simple truths aloud.
Is trans the new anorexia?
Becoming a woman is an unappealing business
When teaching freshman composition in New York colleges in the mid-Eighties, I picked up a peculiar pattern in one-on-one conferences with my female students. With improbable frequency, they’d confide that they were anorexic. The term had only entered the popular lexicon about 10 years earlier, and public awareness of the perturbing derangement had been given a huge boost by the pop singer Karen Carpenter’s death in 1983. Yet not all these 18-year-old students were disturbingly underweight. It took me a minute to get it. They aspired to be anorexic. Anorexia was a prestige diagnosis. ...
Both self-starvation and transgenderism guarantee elevation to a perceived social elite. At least in the minds of some anorexics, being immune to the temptations of crisps and biscuits that seduce mere mortals induces an emotionally nutritious sensation of superiority. ...
Coming out as trans likewise greatly increases attention from schoolmates, teachers and a whole industry of therapists, endocrinologists and surgeons. In a single syllable, “trans” likewise seems to offer a readymade answer to who you are. Freeman tells us that “when an anorexic says, ‘I don’t want to be fat, I want to be thin,’ they are saying, ‘I want to be other than I am, and what I am is unhappy. I want to be someone else.” ...
Especially since girls came to dominate boys in paediatric gender clinics 3:1, both forms of dysmorphia often hit the same population: suggestible, insecure adolescent girls with a fragile sense of self who are desperate to forestall all that womanhood entails...
As for treatment, anorexia is universally acknowledged as an illness. Doctors regard this potentially fatal form of dysmorphia as a psychiatric ailment that must be arrested and resolved. Not so transgenderism, which is often celebrated, if not beatified as a state of higher consciousness. “Gender-affirming care” doesn’t treat the illness but indulges the patient’s delusions to the hilt. ...
Conversely, we’re implicitly dangling the promise that on the other side of transitioning to the opposite sex — or feigning transition, since inborn sex is written in our every cell — all a young person’s problems will be solved. Being trans is now a misguidedly easy-seeming shortcut to knowing who you are. But I’m betting that as an identity, being surgically mangled and hormonally discombobulated rarely goes the distance. Moreover, the physical price of buying this false promise of turning into a butterfly is stupendously high: sexual dysfunction, infertility, surgical complications and infections, and the side-effects of powerful medications for life.
What these conditions have most in common is being dreadful answers to the questions that inevitably torture young people: who am I, what makes me unique, what makes me loveable, what do I want to achieve, why does just being alive seem so hard, am I the only one who feels so dejected, what does it mean to become a man or a woman, and is there any way I can get out of growing up? The responsible adult’s reply to that last one must be a gentle but firm “no”.
27 Colorado Democrats voted to protect sexual predators who are caught indecently exposing themselves to minors.
Republicans in the state House introduced legislation to make it a class 6 felony for anyone to indecently expose themselves to children.
In Colorado, it is currently only considered a class 1 misdemeanor if a person indecently exposes themselves in the view of a child, if it is the first offense.
Despite the presumably nonpartisan nature of the bill, Democrats fought to the bitter end to block it.
Democrats argued against jailing flashers because the predator could be “mentally impaired.”
They also claimed that the measure is an “attack” against “the transgender community” and that the law could be used to “ban drag shows.”
Yesterday, the UK Telegraph ran a “comment,” which I think is similar to an op-ed, spicily titled “Trans Ideology Will Let Mediocre Men Destroy Women’s Sport.” The sub-headline was even better: “In my book, [trans] athletes like Austin Killips are thieves – yet those whose prizes they take are being forced to maintain this mortifying charade.”
Mediocre men! A mortifying charade! The British do really have a way with words; they invented English, after all. Read those phrases back to yourself in a woman’s English accent.
Austin Killips is a man (stem and berries still on the bush) who pretends to be a woman. In 2019, Killips took up cycling for the first time in his life, and this year the 27-year-old American finished a record-breaking +89 seconds ahead of the reigning champion, Italy’s Marcela Prieto, in the ladies’ general class, and he also claimed the prized “Queen of the Mountains jersey.”
He also took the $35,000 cash prize. Thanks ladies! ...
But most significant, to me, was how the op-ed suggests the narrative is shifting. Only a year ago, this kind of article by a mainstream writer, of this kind of incendiary, anti-trans op-ed — a “mortifying charade!” — would have gotten Allison cancelled, fired, and banned from polite British society faster than you can say “Bob’s your uncle.”
Mental Healthcare Burden of Transgender Youth Before and After Gender-Affirming Treatment
Heavy Psychiatric Care Costs Get Worse after Hormones
People generally look at self-sterilizing teenagers and think the world has gone insane. What they rarely notice is the racial angle. Virtually all of them are white, basically none of them are black, and the Asian, brown, and Hispanic trannies I’ve encountered are … well I don’t encounter many. Seen in this way, transgenderism is a racialized assault on the reproductive future of Europeans.

So Arkansas overrode the veto from beta cuck governor. But no one is asking why the leftist tran activists trying to fuck kids up before they grow normal since puberty tends to fix this shit. Such murderous jealous fucks, trying to drag kids down with them since they fucked up their own lives.
