Social engineering based on delusions

This is an important piece by Stella Morabito, who is an expert in agitprop:

The transgender movement has never been about “gender.” It’s all about sex. Sex is the real target. “Gender” is merely the politicized linguistic vehicle that facilitates a legal ban on sex distinctions. There aren’t a whole lot of dots to connect to uncover the logic of where this leads: if you abolish sex distinctions in law, you can abolish state recognition of biological family ties, and the state can regulate personal relationships and consolidate power as never before.

I had the privilege of meeting Stella last week, and hearing her explain how propaganda works. Its goal is to:

1. prevent independent thought;
2. mobilise the masses; and
3. build conformity.

If anyone has any doubts as to these goals, he simply needs to watch these bright young things (here and here). But - here's the kicker - when the propaganda is light years away from reality, then it will take enormous force to keep the ideology in place. Since gender ideology only exists in the mind (and note that the students filmed above were happy to let the average-height male Caucasian interviewer identify as a 6'5" Chinese woman if he so wished) it is illusory, and one person's illusion may conflict not only with reality but with the competing illusions of their peers. As Stella notes:

What will happen when all of society is sexless in both language and law? If the law does not recognize your body as physically male or female—applying only the word “gender” to your internal, self-reported self-perception—does the law even recognize your body? Every single cell of you has either “male” or “female” written into its DNA, but the law refuses to recognize such categories. Such laws will only recognize an infinite, immeasurable “gender spectrum,” your place on which is determined only by your mind. So what exactly are you after the law has de-sexed you? In what sense is your body a legal entity?

And what happens to your familial relationships after the law has de-sexed you? Are they legally recognized? I don’t see how they could be. Certainly not by default, certainly not by the recognition that each child comes through the union of two opposite-sex parents.

In a society de-sexed by law, would the state recognize your relationship as a husband or a wife? Mother or father? Daughter or son? Those are all sexed terms. A system that does not recognize the existence of male and female would be free to ignore the parentage of any child. You might be recognized as your child’s “legal guardian,” but only if the state agrees to that.

Putting the state in charge of an illusion-based construct is frightening, and what may look liberating today will be the cinderblock tied to our ankles in the very near future. Caveat emptor!

Androgyny gaining traction

There is a story in Bloomberg today about a fashion trend for men: women's wear [sigh].

Now we all know that these clothing items are outliers, and we won't be seeing them in many places where normal people go, but the trend is there all the same. The point is to knock down barriers, plant perverse seeds, and influence the entertainment industry -- which trickles into our homes like a poisoned well. 

As always, public tastes are dictated in large part by celebrities; movie stars, musicians, and athletes have a large say in how younger generations shop and dress. For every Bowie and Jagger in the 1970s, there is a Jared Leto or Kanye West wearing a skirt on stage in 2015. But don't expect to see NBA or NFL stars getting into the androgyny arena quite yet.

“The Kanyes, Pharrells, Jared Letos, and one of my favorites, Lapo Elkanns of the world are gents I love seeing push androgynous boundaries," explains Rachel Johnson, a stylist who dresses such pro athletes as Amar'e Stoudemire and Victor Cruz.

Some department stores have set aside space for androgynous clothes, but they haven't found much success yet, just an expensive way to tweak the industry. Here's a last glimpse before you go find the eye-wash:

When ideology meets reality

There are the favoured groups that receive kid-glove treatment, there are the career choices that are praised for taking women into unchartered territory, and there is reality. Recently, all three collided to the detriment of female mixed-martial arts competitor Tamikka Brents:

In a post-fight interview this week, she told Whoa TV that "I've never felt so overpowered ever in my life."

“I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because [he] was born a man or not, because I’m not a doctor,” she stated. “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life, and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right. ”

His “grip was different,” she added. “I could usually move around in the clinch against...females but couldn’t move at all in Fox’s clinch.”

Ms. Brents had the trauma of fighting Fallon Fox and didn't last three minutes. Fox who was transgendered in 2006 now pretends to be a woman. But he's not, and now the league is wondering how to proceed when anyone can say "I'm a woman, and I want to fight." One way to draw a line, they think, is to consider the time of transgendering (before or after puberty) but no matter what, there are certain realities to deal with:

[L]ast year, UFC announcer Joe Rogan made his opinion unambiguously and graphically clear, saying on his podcast that a transgendered man would "have all the bone structure that comes with” being a man. “You have bigger hands, you have bigger shoulder joints."

Speaking to LifeSiteNews, military veteran Jeff Nader, who has fought for UFC competitor Bellator, said that “Fallon Fox has had the benefits of being a man for most of his life. [He has] bone density, muscle mass, and other physical benefits that one gets from being a man. You can't have that, and then make a minor adjustment -- basically, a cosmetic adjustment -- and suddenly claim to be a woman."

"Nothing can take away from the fact that you are physically a man. Mentally and emotionally, who knows -- but physically, he's a man."

While the MMA community deals with this challenge, I would like to turn our attention to warfare, where no such rules exist. We cannot choose whom we fight, nor establish parameters within battles. To put women in theatres where they very well may encounter hand-to-hand combat with men is to set them up for failure -- even death. And those who depend on them (men and women) may also die because bone density and muscle mass matter. Saying that we live in a push-button world is a fantasy, because war is chaos and depends on brute strength at various -- unscheduled -- moments.

Just to show what we're dealing with, though, we'll take one last look at Fallon Fox, to understand the mentality of how one fighter sees his opponents.

In an interview with "Inside MMA," Fallon said that "I don’t believe that a transgender fighter should have to disclose her personal medical history to other female fighters before they fight. It’s simply for the reason the medical community and the scientific community have come to the consensus that post-operative transsexual fighters who have been on hormone-replacement therapy and testosterone suppression, when they’re going from male to female, haven’t been found to have any physiological advantages over other women.”

Fox also said that some women who don't want to fight him may choose that path because they "might be a hate-filled person" or "have a bias." He said that "I don't want to fight those people, anyways, because they're scared.” He wants to fight someone who will fight "aggressively."

Having swallowed more than his share of lies throughout his life, he concludes that anyone opposes his charade is a hater or a coward (while skipping over the fact that he would find lots of aggression if he chose to fight men!)

While I don't expect to find rocket surgeons within the MMA ranks, this reveals quite a bit about his lack of self-awareness or his ability to process the concerns of others. What a shame that so many people have failed him along the way -- but perhaps the MMA authorities will remind him that natural law has some boundaries that cannot be ignored.

Identity-driven enrollment

In the accelerating tumble down the ideological hill that happens when ignoring natural law, we find the following phenomenon:

An all women’s college in California is admitting male students, as long as they self-identify as female. Mills College, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, approved a new policy that lets applicants who self-identify as women enroll, making it the first single-sex college to let applicants specifically pick their gender.

The new policy takes effect this fall, but the existing student body finds this loophole:

The application policy prohibits students who were born as females and have undergone surgery to become a male from admission. However, female students who become male while enrolled at the college may continue on to graduate. Students who are gender-neutral must have legally been born as a female in order to gain acceptance into Mills.

This only affects the 3-5 students annually who attempt to live as transgendered persons, but the principle is telling: nature is irrelevant, feelings rule. While the gender-identity continuum is considered fluid and self-driven, I would suppose that the students in question (men identifying as women) would have to maintain that identity for the duration of their college career, limiting the fluidity for that space of time. Unless the rules can be bent further, or as [emotional] needs dictate.

How this meshes with traditional feminist demands [yes] to carve out testosterone-free havens where women can live in safety from masculine predators is up for grabs. The old categories are quite dated, and the older assumptions about "what women want" are alien concepts at present.
