I’m actually good with doing away with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. If we’re going to ask people to pledge allegiance to something, it should be the Constitution (which government personnel vow to “support and defend…against all enemies, foreign and domestic”), not a piece of cloth.

Having said that, displaying the stupid pride flag front and center at the White House is an abomination (or is that Obama-nation?).

Your link contains a link to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difficile_lectu , an intentional mondegreen written by Mozart. Although a bit vulgar it’s quite a fun story!

Yes, that’s precisely the point, of course.

REALITY IS THE ENEMY.

Ergo, destroy it…and everyone and anyone who believes in it.

Video 3, BOTTOM — @49m what you learned at gender dysphoria conferences? “It’s a belief system that survives a remarkable amount of contact with reality.”

What follows after this line oughta be joke punchlines. Instead, there is pathos.

“Detransitioners”, meaning people who have made attempts to change gender but then reverted to living as their original biological sex, are sometimes thoughtful and reflective. They often describe the effects of social media on troubled adolescents, as in the this essay which describes the effect of Tumblr communities on transgender teenagers:

A bit lengthy, but very insightful.

The key to the different treatment was the labeling of trans people as members of a persecuted identity group in need of protection.

I also wonder if the physical changes in anorexic girls/women also played a part. These changes would more clearly indicate they were experiencing or undergoing an abnormal response, such that an element of mental illness can also easily be assigned to it [at least by laymen = “they’re crazy!”].

Unless they pursue clothing and cosmetics changes, etc. (short of the drug or surgery changes), a transgender person might not appear physically “abnormal” so any assignment of mental illness to their situation could be reduced?? Therefore, moves for wider acceptance would gain more traction?

I remember when Glenn Reynolds founder of the Instapundit on-line community went full transgender by wearing an "I Had An Abortion" T-shirt.
