It's so weird because just a little bit ago everybody was saying this wasn't happening, so why would banning it be such a big deal?

we are now seeing the psychopathology of the increasingly vaccine-damaged post-1986 population in full, ugly bloom.

it will get worse before it gets better.

funny how these damaged souls were outraged - as they should have been - when it came to female genital mutilation in africa but when it happens here it's all good.

The New Left and their Holy Trinity of Race Gender Sexuality may be dishonest, incoherent, and vindictive, but you have to give them credit for being experts at propaganda and emotional manipulation.

They have managed to tap into the deepest maternal urges of the AWFL set, look at this Nebraskan mama bear, she is ready to lay down her life and career (and bring her entire state to heel) all in the name of protecting the sacred Trans child.

It really is an amazing display of fundamentalist zeal and willful ignorance. There is no possibility of error, no possibility that a child (!!) may be mistaken or under some unseen stress, no pause to start them on hormones and puberty blockers....the moment they utter the Holy Incantation ("I want to be born again, as girl/boy") they become sacred and infallible and the only possible proper response is adoration.

I laugh every day now about the "New Atheists" of say 20 yrs ago: they promised a more rational society and instead we have Math is Racist and a new Christ child has been born, the Trans child, chosen by God to lead us to a more inclusive, equitable future.

They/Them is Risen!

I’m sure, when the reckoning finally comes, Cavanaugh will be among the first to say “we should all put this behind us.”

There must be a memo going around.

Public (with Michael Shellenberger and Leighton Woodhouse) released an article and video today. They were interviewing people on the SFSU campus (where Riley Gaines was assaulted and locked in a classroom for 3 hours) about the situation. The third person in the video is, well, not of this earth. But one of his arguments, when it comes to William "Lia" Thomas, is that there have always been transpeople in sports. We just didn't know it because they were too scared to come forward.

So basically, there have always been girls with bait and tackle running around the locker rooms, but they managed to hide their dangly bits from the vagina havers. That seems to be the new thing.

Yes, there might have always been trans kids, but we weren't always lopping body parts of them and putting them on medications that would sterilize them and compromise their health until they were old enough to understand what all that entailed.

There used to be a day where women were the protectors of children. Now many are at the center of hurting them. Librarians are typically women- pushing crap books and drag shows for children. And so on. Disgusting. I don’t know what would cause some one to so passionately fight to dismember children?

Extreme pivot to "its always been happening and here's why it's good" in 3...2....

No compromise. Do as I say or I will make it painful for you.

How about the NE Republican senators growing a pair and making her life painful.

We have to stop this nonsense.

I have lived in Nebraska for over forty years. Every state has nutters like Machaela Cavanaugh. Most states organize their government more sensibly than Nebraska which let's a single Senator tie up all legislative business for weeks. Let me introduce you to our unicameral legislature, where we famously, do it fast, do it over, do it wrong, or just plain don't do anything.

A single house legislature is a bad idea. There is a reason no other state has attempted one. In addition, we only have 49 senators. (New Hampshire has 400+ members in it's house of representatives)

I could entertain you all evening with stories of institutional folly that predictably reoccur during our, thankfully short, legislative sessions each year.

Just one. Nebraska was the first state to adopt the equal rights amendment. Because of our haste, we had a redo and were more careful to follow protocol the second time. Then a couple years later we repealed the adoption of the equal rights amendment. Which probably isn't valid either.

I could tell you about the time the unicameral abolished the death penalty for six weeks or so, but you get the picture. Machaela Cavanaugh is following a well-trod pathway to notoriety. Ernie Chambers, led the way. He was a barber from North Omaha who played the unicameral like a fiddle for 38 years. Tied it up in knots.

Why do they always look like that? Imagine if a Republican in a blue state held up legislation they way she did...

This is a must read. It showcases the insanity we are cultivating in America around gender. The Europeans are much more on point and following common sense and science, as opposed to following unstable mental patients and political opportunists.

I hate to disagree with Chris Bray, but being Woke means never having to say you're sorry. We've seen this as gradually the Left is admitting it was terrible to lockdown the population and close schools for up to 2 years. Not that they'll even admit they were part of the Covid paranoid mob insisting on such measures. Let's just move on, they say.

She’s taking advantage of the middle-America information gap on the trans issue. Normies probably think “gender affirming care” means “therapy to help the kids get used to being gay ballerinas or girl tug boat operators or whatever.” The drugs and surgeries are never mentioned by democrats.

Her smile is all teeth--it doesn't reach her eyes. Which are a shark's eyes.

It is such a simple test for sanity. There are male genes and female genes. Every cell in ones body contains either male genes or female genes. A human being is male or female at birth and remains so, of course, for all of their life. If a person has the male genes but doesn't want them and decides to live their life as if they don't have them that person is mentally ill. There is no other accurate characterization.

More broadly an individuals DNA is the DNA of a human. Surely if that individual declared they don't want to be a human but want to be a spider, live a spider's life, that would be recognized as mental illness. These two cases of not wanting to be what one is is overwhelming evidence of mental illness. One case is indistinguishable from the another.

Those who support the furtherance of mental illness in others are either themselves mentally ill or evil with intent. There is no nuance to be discussed. The nuance was left in the delivery room with the placenta.
