J.K. Rowling accomplished a feat as only she can, taking over multiple Twitter trending streams with a single Tweet challenging the phrase “People who menstruate” and reminding Twitterers there used to be a six-letter word starting with a “W” describing such persons. For this crime, Rowling was immediately set upon by the Trans-Taliban intent on canceling her, but the drama didn’t develop as planned. The single Tweet received nearly 40,000 comments (many negative) and widespread denunciation, but it also received 77,000 Likes!  

Rowling quickly followed up with a series of statements affirming that she loved and respected Transgender “women” but denounced erasing biological women by pretending sex did not exist. Again a mob Trans-Activism tried to silence her, but tens of thousands of users rushed to like and retweet her message.

Less than a week later, Rowling followed up with an essay laying out her opposition to current Trans-Activism and also revealed some unexpected reactions: 

I must have been on my fourth or fifth cancellation by then. I expected the threats of violence, to be told I was literally killing trans people with my hate, to be called cunt and bitch and, of course, for my books to be burned, although one particularly abusive man told me he’d composted them.

What I didn’t expect in the aftermath of my cancellation was the avalanche of emails and letters that came showering down upon me, the overwhelming majority of which were positive, grateful and supportive. They came from a cross-section of kind, empathetic and intelligent people, some of them working in fields dealing with gender dysphoria and trans people, who’re all deeply concerned about the way a socio-political concept is influencing politics, medical practice and safeguarding. They’re worried about the dangers to young people, gay people and about the erosion of women’s and girl’s rights. Above all, they’re worried about a climate of fear that serves nobody – least of all trans youth – well.

Rowling was not the first pop culture figure to push back against the current wave of Transgender Activism or the first to be targeted.  

Last year famed academic, Camille Paglia, who broke onto the scene in the early 1990s with her book Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickenson, aroused the anger of Trans-activists who tried to get her fired for making the following statement: 

“I am highly skeptical about the current transgender wave, which I think has been produced by far more complicated psychological and sociological factors than current gender discourse allows.” 

The response was a massive student petition demanding she be fired and replaced by “a transgender person of color.” The fact that the racial element of the demand would violate Paglia’s Civil Rights under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, appeared lost on students who have no comprehension that all racial discrimination is illegal (not just the racial discrimination you don’t personally happen to like). 

Biological Reality 

In the multitudes of nonsense written about the subject, no-one has yet made the hard-hitting and inescapable point – Transgenderism is not real. To claim a biological man who has never experienced the sociological and psychological development of a girl’s first period, the biological anxiety of potential pregnancy and it’s rewards and risks during sexual intercourse, or the biological frustration when menopause sets in, knows what it is like to be a woman suggests a severe break with reality.  

No biological male “knows” what it is like to be a woman on the inside because he is not a woman and has never been one. Those that claim to do so are speculating and guessing at what they think it’s like to be a woman. The same is true of women that claim too really be men. 

While people may have masculine and feminine aspects to their personality, even if a biological reason were discovered for this, it would suggest that corrective efforts should be made to orient the individual to the sex they are, not encourage self-hatred and elective surgery in pursuit of something they are not and never will be.

And history is not on their side. Hundreds of years from now when archeologists excavate and perform DNA tests on remains, they will not assign skeleton remains and information based on “preferred pronouns.” 

Transgederism may not be real, but the danger is and multifold.  

From an early age, children as individuals are being denied who they are in favor of abusive adults determined to play God and make them who they “think they are” while developing and encouraging self-loathing and self-hatred.

Boys that prefer creative play and storytelling, or girls that enjoy more boyish activities, will be marked as “transgender.”

Worse, the Transgender mob requires the rest of the world to follow it down the rabbit hole with it, by first bullying and blacklisting those that don’t go along with its agenda and the second more dangerously, destroying real men and women in favor of their counterfeit. 

We have already seen girls are being replaced by boys identifying as girls in sports. 

Now we are seeing urinals in men’s bathrooms are being removed so that the trans-man will never be forced to face the truth of their fake reality. 

The acid test for this comes down to if a real woman is having her period and there is one tampon left, should a man identifying a woman be allowed to deprive her of it? The Covid-19 lockdowns and hoarding have already exposed the dangers of shortages in a matter of weeks even in 2020 America for regular issues.

Finally, transgenderism is fundamentally dangerous because it asks us to both deny and abdicate our own ability to recognize and interact with reality. Reality, we are told, is whatever a small dictatorial group tells us it is regardless of what is real. The term for this is gaslighting, and it’s an abuse technique that narcissists employ to undermine their victim’s sense of reality, making them weak and vulnerable for manipulation and control, and there is lays the true danger of transgenderism, the denial of reality.

There are plenty of people that given the chance would be gladly identified and sign checks that they are Oprah Winfrey, Rockefeller, or a Battenberg. That doesn’t mean that Oprah, the Rockefeller’s or Royal British Family, or for that matter anyone else should be coerced to go along with the fraud.

American’s should not fall for the Libertarian manipulation that this is a matter of personal choice or respect for other’s rights. Not only are trans-activists demanding that the rest of us refer to men as women and women as men, attempting to objectify and reduce the rest of us to sources of narcissistic gratification, they also are attempting to force us to identify as they choose to label us cis-men and cis-women. There is no freedom of choice in this argument whatsoever, only one system or the other and neither can co-exist. 

Need for Decisive Victory

American’s can and need a decisive victory on this issue and one that will result in the criminalization of the transgender movement altogether. 

How Donald Trump deals with the Transgender issue in America will ultimately determine his legacy, that is whether he will make decisive changes that he promised his base or be marginalized as ineffectual after leaving office the same way Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were for failing to win the cultural war on abortion and same-sex marriage. 

Liberals have already established they would like nothing better than to erase his entire Presidency from history the minute he’s out of office, meaning Trump had better learn from his predecessor’s Republican President’s failures.  

Ronald Reagan failed to defeat abortion and was quickly marginalized after leaving office, despite campaigning heavily on the issue.  

George W. Bush’s Supreme Court under John Robert’s legalized same-sex marriage overturning duly passed Federal Law and State Constitutions, including solidly blue California that voted against it three times.  

In the aftermath of both these Administrations, Americans quickly found themselves subjected to repression and persecution. 

Following the Reagan Administration and even the renegotiation of Roe v. Wade with Planned Parenthood v. Caseythe Clinton Administration passed new legislation criminalizing peaceful civil disobedience and sit-ins at abortion clinics  These tactics utilized before and after the pro-life movement by civil rights and peace activists became a serious criminal offense only for pro-lifers.

After the Supreme Court issued its ruling on same-sex marriage, a county clerk was jailed for refusing to issue a marriage certificate and private businesses were forced to shutter under harassment, lawsuits, and cancel culture.

History is clear – there is no room for competing ideologies and if the Tans-Taliban are not crushed, anyone who objects, disagrees, or is not reverent enough will be subjected to criminalization, canceling, and blacklisting.

CONCLUSION

For decades Americans in the culture wars have on both sides clung to their self-made victimhood and surrendered power over our country to small activist groups, electronic mobs, and un-elected judges.  

Its time that changed and now.

On Monday, June 15, 2020, the Supreme Court with Justices appointed about by Bush, Obama and Trump handed down a ruling applying the broad protections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to sexual orientation and gender identity (despite them explicitly not being mentioned in the act and them not being established in the Civil Rights Act of 1964). We can only imagine the slew of lawsuits and persecutions that the transgender movement is waiting to unleash on America.

If Donald Trump is serious about action, he should re-gender Federal Law and policy making requiring terms “he” and “she” based on terms on sex at birth and enforce Federal Laws against Identity Fraud and Birth Certificate tampering not only against individuals but also state agencies. 

At no point has the United States ever extended legal recognition to “transgender” and the Supreme Court has no authority to do so. 

“Sex-change” operations, which are fancy terms for surgical mutilation, should be prosecuted as the criminal conspiracy that they are. The Trump Administration should clarify that women are not simply “mutilated men” and can not be created by surgical scalpels and men are not manufactured through testosterone injections.

Second, he should aggressively prosecute LGBT organizations groups for conspiracy to perpetrate identity fraud and the plastic surgeons that assist them.  

Most of all the Trump Administration must curtail Judicial Imperialism and aggressively prosecute Justices that attempt to misuse their judicial authority to lend legality to these practices. 

We would not tolerate a Justice allowing a terrorist, criminal, or regular person in falsifying their identity by changing other characteristics such as race, age, ethnicity and we should not permit it for sex either. Even using license plates not issued to a vehicle is a criminal act and you can not change your vehicle registration information to obtain the Hybrid Car Tax Credit, just because you feel it should qualify. How much more important is the identity of human beings?

Justices that know the law and decide to behave like criminals, hiding behind their gavel, should be treated as criminals.  Supreme Court Justices that have grown to comfortable with behaving like Caesars, issuing edicts dictating sweeping changes of American life should be given a long over due attitude adjustment. 

Prior to the New Deal, The Supreme Court prohibited child labor laws and decided that segregation was legal provided it was “equal” even though evidence existed that it was not.  This continued with nine pompous old men showing disdain for their fellow Americans until FDR took the bull by the horns in 1936 and threatened to reform the Court entirely if it didn’t shape up.

History provides a warning to Trump if he fails to act decisively. 

Gavin Newsom flaunted State and Federal laws on Same-Sex Marriage as Mayor of San Francisco illegally issuing licenses and today he is Governor of California. Unknown County Registrar Kim Davis declined to comply with a court order to issue licenses in Kentucky and was sent to jail until she was willing to comply with issuing licenses to same-sex couples. 

Today she holds no public office and has a criminal record.

It’s time that American’s stop whining about victims and aggressively push back and break this destructive fraud altogether and more importantly the organizations, financiers, and judges that are pushing it. 

And if Donald Trump want’s to be re-elected then he should actually deliver to Americans a victory for them to turn out in November, not more bluster.
