Sidenote: You have to note the use of “straight” instead of that made up word “cisheteronormative”. I am so over the Wokesters constantly trying to force us to use their Orwellian language and make us believe its the “norm” when it comes to “sexual identity” that is to be the most important attribute of being a human – RUBBISH!
Couldn’t happen to a nastier bunch of people (the militant Ts, that is). Does this mean that the front end of the sexual identity folks are about to shuck and disavow all of the other letters, numbers, and such tacked onto “theirs”? So I was rather surprised to come across this post (reformatted, emphasis mine):
It’s happening: “LGB drop the T” keeps trending on Twitter as gay activists turn on transgender activists
It was always unsustainable. The only question was how long the LGBT political movement would bask in the glory of its inarguably successful obliteration of traditional societal norms and sexual mores before they took the time to notice. But with #LGBdroptheT trending on Twitter multiple times over the course of the last week or two, it seems apparent that at least in certain quarters, the revolutionaries are doing what revolutionaries always do: turn on each other.
And the hammer is getting dropped:
Like I’ve said before – I think Peak Trans has been hit and perhaps the hits are going to keep on coming. The gay community certainly had their societal disruption moments (years?) and they knew what they were doing in their own version of social disruption. It tells me how BAD the militant trans have misread the environment so as to tick off the gays with their “disruption”. And a lot of us straight folks, traditional societal conservatives, haven’t liked either one but if I had to choose, I’d choose the gays because they never tried to redefine a LOT of our language (well, oyes, other than “marriage” that I still disagree with) that the Trans movement has done in creating utter chaos when it comes to individual relationships.
How can you relate to someone when they can be something else an hour from now and go ballistic simply because I don’t know what the latest words are (or better, no longer care – that now YOUR problem and not mine).
I’ve written on more than one occasion about what far more people than just I have been anticipating for quite some time. Namely, the inevitable clash between gay ideology and transgender theory. Transgenderism relies entirely upon the non-existence of a gender binary, assuming a sliding scale of gender identity that denies there even is such thing as truly “male” or truly “female.”
Needless to say, there can be no gay man if there is no such thing as a man. There can be no lesbian if there is no such thing as a woman.
So in order to have a Transgender sexuality identity, they HAVE to erase gay men and gay women. So while they hitched a ride with both, it is easy to see that the Transgenders USED the LG’s to start and then stole the platform from them.
Sidenote: just like GAC Commissioner Doug Lambert (of DGF Industrial, former Trump co-chair locally) did to the Belknap County Delegation (to use an analogy that I’ve been writing about a lot lately). Except his methodology was to use the Delegation to be appointed to the Gunstock Area Commission, lay low for a few weeks (like the Transgenders did in their domain) and then set about creating the chaos that has now put him on top. Illegally, thus far, but the local lawsuits are happening just like lawsuits against transgender policies.
And then simply went to work on dominating the sexual identity politics domain. And make NO mistake, this is ALL about Politics. And, as the post mentions, using our own good will and politeness against us. And, apparently, the gays and lesbians as well.
Politics can make for strange bedfellows (did I really just write that, given the topic?), doesn’t it?
Last bit from that post, though, shows how prescient many of us were back in the day:
That “slippery slope” admission is an interesting one. In the early days of opposition to the gay rights movement, conservatives warned that once traditional moral guideposts for sexuality were removed on the basis of emotional preferences, they could not later be arbitrarily thrown back down into the ground to deny other claims made upon the same basis. “Merry” is begrudgingly acknowledging that despite claims to the contrary, the conservative warning has indeed proved accurate.
It has. Society spent thousands of years creating norms of behavior that proved, for the most part, successful – the Left has demolished much of them over the last 50 or 60 years. And we wonder why everything around us is like a freight train headed for Hades? Every time I mention “Slippery Slope” to someone that isn’t agreeing with me at the time, I get a scornful look. Generally, it is someone either far younger or someone that hasn’t been watching too intently.
The author is right – we were right. Back when the Democrat / Gay alliance was first pushing for civil unions and then gay marriage, I remember having the Laconia Democrat Chair and gay activist on our radio show (he has passed since – AIDS). He obviously was trying to make the case for it and we were against it. Soon after, the Democrats legalized it by passing legislation through the NH House and Senate and Gov. Lynch (D) signed it. But near the end of the show, I asked a most impertainent question:
If the sex no longer matters, then what is so special about the number. If sex no longer matters, what’s so special about two people? Why not three, or four? Or more?
At that time, I was thinking of polyandry – and he went ballistic shouting me down and saying that wouldn’t happen and how DARE I bring it up!!! He knew that bringing that up, that the slippery slope would be that “next thing”, would start to slow that current train he was trying to push out of the station.
Who knew, at that time, that the Left would come up with Transgenderism that has turned out to be FAR worse?
I haven’t used this analogy for a few years but perhaps I need to bring it back a LOT more often: that Society is a brick wall where the Left’s various groups have been plucking out individual brick just as fast as they can both to achieve their little agendas and to aggregate Power. Each time a brick (a societal norm or Law) is removed, that wall loses another smidge of its stability. Keep removing them and it can move onward to looking like a Jenga tower.
How many more can be removed before traditional America just falls down?
I can tell you that the Left can’t wait for it to happen. That’s their end game. But if part of the solution is to join forces in trying to put even some of those bricks back into the wall to stabilize it, yes indeed, strange bedfellows.
Your response? And what are you willing to do?
