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.”

A Vermont high school snowboarding coach has been fired for stating that males are biologically different than females.

David Bloch founded the snowboarding team at Woodstock Union High School in 2011.

He has served as head coach every year since.

He told the Daily Signal that the job, which only paid $4,439 per season, was his passion.

“I think it’s so incredible to watch the progress,” Bloch said.

He explained that he loves to see his students “sit on top of a giant slalom course for the first time, and you can see the fear in their eyes, and then by the time they make it down, it’s like I wrote them a check for a million dollars.”

However, everything changed when Bloch and his team were waiting for a snowboarding competition to start last February.

They were set to compete against a team that had a male student who “identified” as “female.”

Bloch, a practicing Roman Catholic, told two of his athletes that there are biological differences between men and women.

He correctly noted males do have a competitive advantage against females in sports, even if they claim to be transgender.

The next day, the Windsor Central Supervisory Union superintendent fired Bloch for violating the Windsor Central Supervisory Union Board’s “Harassment, Hazing, and Bullying” policy.

He was also accused of violating the Vermont Principals’ Association’s related policy for “making reference to (a) student in a manner that questioned the legitimacy and appropriateness of the student competing on the girls’ team to members of the WUHS snowboard team”—all outside the student’s presence.

“I was just shocked that I could be fired for literally speaking biological fact,” Bloch said.

Under this new paradigm, if the male customer correctly being referred to as “sir” suffers under the illusion of actually being a woman and asserts that the speaker—regardless of intent—harmed him by not saying “ma’am,” then the clerk is wholly at the mercy of the caprices of this mentally ill man, subjecting him to a range of possible social, professional, and even legal punishments.

Agency conferred to the recipient… or so it seems. Panning out a bit further, we will discover that once again the actual agency, as always, lies with the Party.

For example, imagine a different scenario where a man joins a team of exclusively young, female, college athletes against their wishes, tradition, regulations, and common sense. The man claims he is a woman. He parades around naked with the young ladies in their locker room. He beats them in their competitions. He robs them of their records and their opportunities. Based on the previous example, one might assume the recipients of these actions, i.e., the women having their lives violated continually by this demented man, would be the arbiters of the matter, regardless of what the man intended.

However, this was not the case. In the second example, the young women were essentially threatened by their institution and leadership if they even expressed their concerns; they were cowed into an agonizing silence, even amongst themselves, all but ordered to endure seemingly endless humiliation with a smile, lest they face possible social, professional, or even legal punishments. All the while, their victimizer was awarded seemingly endless encomium. ...

It is clear that despite the best marketing efforts of the Party, agency is not conferred to the recipient under this paradigm on principle, but on the whim of the Party. This is one more example to show that the Party is not defending the downtrodden, like a kindly Big Brother or some benevolent Nanny. The same people confidently basking in the harsh fluorescent glow of Party protection today will someday find themselves abandoned in the outer darkness to wail and gnash their teeth in vain. The Party remains the ultimate arbiter of what is true and what is false, what is acceptable and what is unacceptable. It grants certain groups power as it sees fit in order to advance its own agendas; it can and will rescind or reassign that power as it sees fit. Much like the God it seeks to replace, to paraphrase the Book of Job: “The Party giveth and the Party taketh away.”

Allie Beth Stuckey has some thoughts on one particular sex-ed video from Planned Parenthood explaining what virginity is:

One fun thing progressives like to do is to pretend that concrete ideas - like sex and virginity, male and female - are abstract and flexible. The reason they're doing that here is to trivialize sex. They want kids to think that sex is no bigger deal than making out so they'll be more likely to do it. They want kids to think virginity isn't real so they'll never try to protect it.

And you know what they really want? They want kids to be sexualized at an early age so that they'll be more likely to be both sexually confused and sexually promiscuous, because people in both these categories a) make Planned Parenthood the big bucks and b) join the ranks of progressive activism.
