Follow me back in time to the year 2013 when Serena Williams told a story that would get her canceled in 2024 ...

"Men's tennis and women's tennis are completely almost two separate sports. So I'm like if I were to play Andy Murray I would lose 6-0 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe ten minutes ...

I only want to play girls, because I don't want to be embarrassed."

Ohio Governor Reverses Decision and Outlaws Sexual Mutilation of Children

Just a week ago, Governor DeWine vetoed a bill that would have protected children from being chemically castrated or having their genitals mutilated.

The backlash was immense.

In an act of pure self-preservation, he issued an executive order outlawing the chemical castration and sexual mutilation of children.

It's unlikely that voters, especially parents, will forget anytime soon that he was unwilling to sign legislation when he had a chance to protect children from what many believe should be illegal on a federal level.

And when you are a particularly insecure young girl, being on the internet can feel as if you are being bombarded with reminders of your inadequacies. In this state, an escape from womanhood offers a way out. Modern trans-rhetoric is also uniquely adapted to exploiting these moments of insecurity within young women. Suggesting to them that any form of discomfort with a female body is a sign of not really being a woman, when in reality, feeling conflicted, at odds, and uneasy with your body is core to the female experience.

What is really strikingly obvious when perusing the social media content produced by FTMs for FTMs is the distinctly feminine perception the content reveals about the individual who created it...

What is particularly insidious about the trans phenomenon is that any doubt an individual may have about their supposed trans identity is framed as a consequence of internalized transphobia. Online spaces such as this allow vulnerable young women to find comfort and solace in a community of like-minded peers. Unfortunately, these communities encourage young women to take actions that will only further alienate them from their bodies by reinforcing gender dysphoria, rather than coming to terms with it. ...

What is not at all encouraged is coming to terms with the complex feelings womanhood induces within young girls, coming to terms with that mix of terror and thrill. This process is entirely disrupted by modern social norms. Why? Because sexual norms today skirt around one obvious, horrifying fact: women like being sex objects. ...

Ultimately, what growing up means for girls, is coming to terms with the male gaze. The male gaze, contrary to the popular feminist conception of it, is not a product of patriarchal society. Rather, the voyeur in your own head is a native facet of feminine psychology. The voyeur in your head is awareness of your desirability, the power it holds, the danger it can bring; this awareness is crucial for women to have as they navigate the world around them. ...

The right amount of awareness is necessary, but too much of it can be paralyzing, suffocating, leading to pathological responses. This is the condition of young women today: hyper-self self-consciousness. ...

Under the current feminist paradigm, women’s motivations must be desexed; made sterile. But refusing to acknowledge that it is in women’s nature to desire male validation does not make the desire go away. Repressing a fundamental instinct only means that it will make itself known in intensely destructive ways. ...

Today, truth lies within the domain of internet ghettos, siloed away from the rest of polite society. At best, what society tells you is entirely unhelpful: “You’re beautiful just the way you are.” At worst, what society tells you is entirely destructive: “If you feel alienated by your body, you should maybe consider a mastectomy.”

FBI Cites ‘Alt-Right Extremism’ after Arresting Transgender Would-Be Shooter Threatening to Kill ‘Transphobes’

The FBI has arrested a radical transgender gunman after he threatened to go out in a “blaze of glory” by going on a shooting rampage to kill “transphobes.”

On Friday, federal prosecutors charged “Elizabeth West” – a man who claims to be a “transgender woman.”

After a search of his home, agents found 27 guns and “tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition.”

West caught the attention of the FBI after he announced his plans in a Facebook post to the “Trans Woman Support Group.”
