It's all about language and, like Humpty Dumpty, making them mean whatever you say they mean. A month or so back I had people on Twitter telling me that 'defund the police' didn't mean, you know *defunding the police*, it referred 'reallocating' money away from the police elsewhere. Well okay, but how do you pay for the police? Because people don't put their lives on the line for free. No one had an answer for that. It was just people playing around with word meanings again. Because 'de-' is a prefix meaning to undo a specific action, and 'fund' means 'A sum of money or other resources set aside for a specific purpose,' so to say 'defund the police' means anything other than re-allocating money but not abolishing the police or expecting them to work for free sounds like linguistic dishonesty to me.

And 'transgender' is simply a fad at this point. Not necessarily because everyone is dishonest (only some are) but because I think they think they're dysphoric when they're not. In the end, biology will win out. You can't change your gender no matter how much you think you want to. But, before that happens I expect we'll be hearing from the 'otherkin' shortly demanding we accept them as mermaids, unicorns, elves, dragons, whatever BS they 'identify' with.

When that day comes, they shall all be required to address me by my full title at all times (no nicknames or other shortened versions) "Her Majesty Fluffybunny Startwinkles, Magical Empress of the Universe." Because that is how I shall identify ;)

Don't forget that beneath all this fake "trans" horseshit there really is an actual ailment albeit, by the best numbers available to me, about 0.1% of those making the claim.

But this fad isn't a clothing or hair style. This fad involves health-destroying hormones and mutilating surgery. It actively seeks to destroy lives and careers. And it comes with more lies than Trump or Santos.

And Biden is on board with enabling this transition shit. Parents can have their kids taken away if the kids get on TikTok and decide they're "trans" and the parents don't want them to go nder the knife.

The one that irks me most is the suicide threat. Anyone could reason through its falsehood. History should be riddled with teen suicides and it isn't.

And once again, as with AGW and guns, America's warped notions of freedom prevent us from doing anything about it.
