Men who get pregnant and give birth are men.” The official American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Twitter account November 19th, 2019 At this point, it is safe to say that we are through the looking glass. The volume at which all things “trans” and LGBTQ-et cetera in general is now trumpeted, complete with the breathless hysteria with which the media shrieks about the rights of non-binary people of color to have sex changes on demand paid for by someone else in a country that isn’t theirs, the “concentration camps” that don’t exist to “torture” these trans people, the deeply disturbing assertions that young children be forcibly sterilized to align with their “gender identity” on the one hand, while protesting the “forceful sterilization” of trans people in order for them to change the sex on their birth certificates on the other… Well, it all seems rather bewildering. Did anyone expect, when we were hurtling toward Y2K and the late-Senator Ted Stevens’s pneumatic tube- powered Information Super Highway that we would soon be discussing “trans women’s periods” about hairy men in wigs in mainstream society with a straight face? That people of indeterminate gender who pose spread-legged with splotches of blood on their pants-crotches and hashtag their “activism” on social media would be heralded as the epitome of “stunning and brave?” That it would be considered a human right for sex predators to declare themselves another gender in order to use the little girls’ room? It’s at once farcical and tragic, as the Soviet general in The Camp of the Saints lamented between sips of vodka: “We’re caught in the clutches of the great hermaphrodite, Zackaroff. We’re all its serfs. And we can’t even cut off its balls!” Possibly, truer words have never been spoken. In the wasteland of deepening darkness overcoming our civilization, the plagues of opioids and anti-depressants, a steady diet of appointments with the local psychoanalyst, hormone blockers for prepubescent children, demon-drag- queen story time and more untold horrors confront us as the forces of disintegration eat the remnants of our civilization from the inside out. The smug and decadent extensions of the ruling class in the media persistently focus not on the blanket censorship and the personal and professional destruction of any dissidents who aren’t totally “with the program,” of which they (the media) are willing and eager participants, but rather claim that said censorship is instead reflective of a pervasive climate of fear surrounding the wholesale literal massacre of the LGBTQ “community” by malevolent hate-mongers lurking around every corner. But is it, in fact, a “massacre?” The homicide mortality rate for transgender persons in the United States is actually significantly lower than the average person: Kentucky State University associate professor Wilfred Reilly found that the 2017 homicide death rate for transgender people was about 1.48 per 100,000, less than a third of the overall murder rate of about 5 per 100,000 and a fraction of the rate for men in general (6.68) or black people (18.8)…His conclusions fly in the face of claims by the Human Rights Campaign, which called transgender deaths “a national epidemic” in its 2019 report, as well as the American Medical Association’s June warning of an “epidemic of violence” and approved policies to combat “fatal attacks against transgender people.” A Sept. 27 headline in The New York Times similarly read: “18 Transgender Killings This Year Raise Fears of an ‘Epidemic.’”…For those who might accuse him of cooking the books, Mr. Reilly pointed out that he based his conclusions on FBI figures; a 2016 study by the UCLA Williams Institute, which found that 0.6% of the population identifies as transgender; and the Human Rights Campaign’s database of transgender homicides…Far from rising, the transgender homicide rate has been notable for its stability. There were 21 such deaths in 2015, 23 in 2016, 29 in 2017, 26 in 2018 and 22 in 2019 so far [December 8th, 2019], “and that’s with this very active LGBT lobbying group trying to find as many as possible,” Mr. Reilly said.1 Yet it is treated as an “epidemic,” largely on the back of— surprise, surprise—media lies and manipulation and systemic brain-washing. We see here how vital control of information and its dissemination is to the ruling class. This is a full-on indoctrination campaign operating at all levels, which extends to the very formation of the language we use to communicate our ideas. To evoke George Orwell’s 1984 has become a bit of cliché, but for good reason. Not only did he presage control over the construction of language to suit ideological purposes—a “real world” example is the now-widespread acceptance and use of the term “partner” rather than husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend, which not only removes the sex of the so-called “partner” from the equation but also has a connotation of a contractual rather than romantic relationship, such as a business partner—but he also understood that limiting language in such a way as to prevent the expression and even formulation of thoughts that might dispute the anti-reality mantras of the ruling class was essential for controlling and conditioning the population. The formation of words and the alteration of grammatical and stylistic conventions to suit the prevailing orthodoxy is now rampant: consider the grammatically-incorrect “people of color” versus the grammatically-correct “colored people,” or the Associated Press’s decision to capitalize the word “Black” when used in the context of race and culture but not to do the same for “white,” signaling the latter’s de- legitimization as a unique racial group with legitimate interests. “It seems like such a minor change, black versus Black,” The New York Times’s national editor, Marc Lacey, said. “But for many people the capitalization of that one letter is the difference between a color and a culture.” “Not having a capital letter has felt disrespectful,” said David Lanham, director of communications for the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program. “There is a shared cultural identity with Black Americans and that goes through our shared experiences. That also goes to the lack of geographic history as a result of slavery.” So not having a shared geographic space (aka a homeland, like Europe) is what constitutes a legitimate race, then? I can see where Lanham probably got his talking points. Now here’s where it gets downright genocidal: “White doesn’t represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does, and also has long been capitalized by hate groups,” The New York Times said in explaining its decision to go with the AP’s change. “We agree that white people’s skin color plays into systemic inequalities and injustices, and we want our journalism to robustly explore these problems,” John Daniszewski, the AP’s Vice President and Editor-at-Large for Standards, said in a memo to staff. “Capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.” CBS News said it would capitalize “white,” although not when referring to white supremacists, white nationalists, or white privilege. One change really does speak volumes. This cannot be viewed as anything but the next step in de-humanizing whites in what will produce the most appalling levels of violence if the rhetoric continues down this path. Similarly, the use of “community” as a legitimate expression is applied liberally in all cases except in those that pertain to positive white or Christian identity, or to heterosexuality. Thus the “diverse” but also somehow monolithic LGBTQ-et cetera “community.” But is this a community? For starters, lesbians and gays generally do not get along: “trans” is supposedly a gender incongruence and/or variance, not a sexuality (or is it?— we’ll come back to this); and intersex, as opposed to transgender, is a condition whereby the individual in question has atypical sex traits and/or reproductive anatomy. Nevertheless, whether they like it or not, intersex people have been engulfed in the oppressive rainbow embrace, their identities weaponized for ideological means by the pillar of the neo-liberal Establishment that is the transgender-industrial complex.
