Back in March, I wrote at length and in a spirit of considerable frustration about the idiotic ruling from District Court Judge Ana Reyes setting aside the Trump administration’s ban on transgender military service.
These people didn't care at about losing "a few good men" over the covid jabs. Their story about being worried about losing good service members rings very hollow.
reminds me of my world history class in high school. the teacher pointed out that a percentage of the Greeks and Romans in the military were homosexual. then he said “in battle, would you rather a disinterested soldier have your back, or another guy who /really/ loves your body and therefore has more reason to protect it? “
no, this was in the 1980s, though he was definitely an oddball.
it was during his explanations of why his (Master's degree program) research indicated the commanders of those armies wouldn't want to discourage such behavior.
he wasn't the most manly of men but certainly no pronoun jockey
overreach and bad calls by "progressive" (just as horrid a misuse of words as "leftist" these days) judges are a huge problem for most if not all of the other Western nations too.
look at Ireland, Scotland, Brazil, Netherlands, the UK, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, and the fuck-all excuse for a judiciary currently infesting Germany and you can see what the so called "liberal" judges are working up towards here in the States.
Here in Canada, nearly 100% of judicial decisions support the Liberal government. A complete lack of independence. At least in the US we'll get an occasional ruling against the status quo.
Let’s call them what they are: activist-judges. Like all “progressives”, their overriding belief is that the ends justify the means… so they believe that it’s “moral and necessary” to use any means necessary to achieve what THEY think is good.
Never is a long time. 2026 is likely too soon, but judicial impeachment could become part of the 2028 platform. Call it 'Judicial Reform' or something a savvy marketer could name. Could be a nationalizing call after Trump leaves office. This would inspire the base again. All of the grotesque murders from 20+ repeat offenders have filled the electorate with disgust. Disgust and outrage are motivating emotions.
We have a confused young man at work who now thinks he's a woman. It is very unnatural, sad, awkward, and weird. I wouldn't want to fight with him, nor would I like him to be my nurse, but I would like to see him get treated psychologically, and get freed from his delusion.
and now you all will be forced to play into his dillusion or face discipline. Possibly have the company sued. I dont envy you sir, i would probably end up fired.
I think as a patient I would have to leave a doctor or hospital that had delusionally psychotic people working there, especially in any sort of care provider role. "Transgenderism" is just the same old mental illness all Psych majors learn about via case studies re: people who want to cut off their arms or legs. It is delusional (sees things that are not there, like "gender") and psychotic (unable to distinguish b/w reality and fiction). Enabling this is no good for anyone, and a really slippery slope with no bottom. And any healthcare facility that enables it clearly doesn't care about health. They should provide care to this individual instead.
And yet, we had one at Health and Human Services, going so far as to claim “first woman” status for all sorts of things. Levine was not a woman and will never be a woman despite the entire Democrat administration saying he is. Talk about delusional…
My advice would be not to play along with his new false identity/persona. It is important to protect one's own sanity, and continue living in reality. You may lose your job, as the medical field seems almost unsalveagable at this point, and "believing in reality" is a liability to those folks.
I would say this person has set up an insane ultimatum (validate my self-created "identity", or perish) and you are essentially choosing to negotiate with a terrorist if you play along. Don't.
“If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”
If he's fat or ugly or just plain lacking in any kind of sex appeal whatsoever, gently point out to him that there's enough of these types of women already, and there is no need for one more.
Our brains map our bodies. Under anesthesia we are, except for the limitations of skeletal morphology or restrictions from injury, as flexible as the most practiced yogi because the mapping module is turned off and no longer holds the body in whichever restricted posture it has gotten used to. When we come out, the map turns back on and we can’t touch our toes. Some people have mapping errors.
There is a psychological/neurological condition in which people believe one of their limbs is not their own. They use it, they acknowledge that they are in control of it, but still claim it is not theirs. They often feel that amputation is the only course of action to make their bodies feel like they should. Clearly a mapping error.
The quite rare instances of persistent gender disphoria are likely another species of mapping error. Both create quite a bit of distress and require extensive therapy, but results are decidedly mixed. Both would be terrifying.
Social contagion, rapid onset gender disphoria, is another matter altogether.
None of them are compatible with military service. It is not mean to say so, it is an acknowledgment of tradeoffs. Some people are just not compatible with military service. You can’t have a machine gunner who thinks his trigger finger is not his own, and you can’t have a pilot who thinks he’s in the wrong body; you certainly can’t have one who is so emotionally damaged or easily influenced by social trends as to claim to be so afflicted.
In abnormal Psych classes we had case studies about people who wanted to cut off their arms or legs. The existence of their arms/legs caused them constant distress with which they could not live. In today's terms, we'd say they "identified" as paraplegic. (There was actually a recent case in Europe where the person succeeded at removing the offending parts.)
Point being...these are case studies in abnormal psych classes. No one argues that this is a form of mental illness.
And...it's exactly the same as "transgenderism," only not about pee-pee parts and not reliant upon the make-believe concept of "gender."
So, agreed, definitely not fit to serve, same as someone who wants to amputate their arms or legs.
But, how is this not more widely understood? I cannot fathom how we got to the place where even 30% of society can accept this magical thinking as reality. To say nothing of the fact that one form of amputation-obsessed delusion continues to be labeled mental illness, while the other is not.
If I’m reading you right, I agree that the persistent form of gender disphoria is not what we might call mental illness, it is neurological; though I am not familiar with the means of parsing the difference. It seems to me to be abnormal brain function. There are people who cannot recognize faces because that module is damaged or mal-developed. That face-recognition module is why we see faces in clouds and cliff sides.
Persistent gender disphoria has, until circa 2010, been observed in males at a 3-4 to 1 rate compared to females. The presentation appears early in life <6 years old, and never diminishes. It’s likely a form of mapping error.
This disparity between the sexes is probably explained by the trait distribution curves of males and females. We largely overlap, but the tails of male distribution are fatter: the most aggressive male and most aggressive female will be equally so, but there will be many more highly aggressive males than females, for instance. Male divergence from the mean is much greater than females.
We can explain this by our evolutionary history: 5-30% of historic males reproduced depending on the lineage, whereas 80% of historic females reproduced across lineages. Young males are a disposable evolutionary commodity; a population can lose 60-70% of its males and recover in a generation, a population that loses 20% of its females will enter demographic free-fall. This drove male traits to be exaggerated because what constitutes a successful male is under enormous selection pressure; males throw spaghetti at the wall, genetically, to see what sticks. The exaggeration of male trait divergence is mirrored in neurological disorders.
The recent outbreak of gender disphoria is flipped statistically, it’s mostly females. This is most parsimoniously explained as social contagion; which is also an evolutionary adaptation. Males who are deciding that they are females at 20 are not afflicted by a mapping error, something else is going on.
Either way, and perhaps it’s cosmically unfair, but that’s life, whatever is going on is disqualifying for military service. I certainly wouldn’t have bet my squad’s lives on any of these conditions offering something special on a potential battlefield rather than representing a liability.
Most mental illness is abnormal brain function at some level. Even very low level things like anxiety and depression. Transgenderism was always considered a mental illness until the ideological capture of academia redefined it something "normal" over the last decade or two. I can see no difference b/w "trans" people wanting to mutilate their privates and others wanting to mutilate their arms or legs. (In fact, self-mutilation is itself a known symptom of mental health disorders.)
It is caused by widespread indoctrination via social engineering using tech platforms, the educational arm, and then the medical industry to carve the lie into flesh at younger and younger ages. Most of these kids would be normal save for the sales pitch that if you think you are (because there is one way to be male and one way to be female) or want to be the opposite sex, then have at it. Picking an identity and picking it early is required today to graduate 3rd grade. JHU endocrinologists knew that focusing on being a 'woman' for his gender identity patients encouraged transition. You do not focus on it fro real treatment. But today every child is told they have a gender id and must pick. This is reverse engineering. Sell the idea of gender identity first. No one knew they had one before this nonsense. Everyone (most ) know they are male or female.
Certainly ROGD is social contagion, driven by academic belly button spelunking supercharged by identity politics. I feel quite badly for the kids that get tangled up in it; they’re kids! I feel badly for people with persistent gender disphoria, just as I do for people who cannot recognize faces or who think their arm is not their own. That would be very disturbing, terrifying even. And I have no desire to do any of them harm.
But the unwillingness of adults in positions of trust to think through the neurology and evolutionary biology & psychology of it? That’s another matter altogether.
And the unwillingness of political and military leaders to do the same is dereliction of duty. Secretary Hegseth is right to enact the policy.
Part of individual freedom is that adults get to choose to have any surgery they can afford. They don’t get to force taxpayers and insurance pool members to pay for it. We don’t cover elective appearance surgeries and that’s what trans surgeries are. They also don’t get to be protected from other people NOT participating in delusions/hallucinations.
Agreed on the funding issue, but I don't see that as the main issue.
The main issues IMO are how we want to define and treat mental illness as a society and what ethical standards we hold our medical professionals to.
They are currently enabling and even encouraging mentally ill people to become even more mentally ill. No different than a doctor treating alcoholism with an Rx for vodka or removing healthy legs b/c a patient is bothered by them. (It's also unethical and medical fraud to perform a surgery that can't achieve the desired goal, which in these cases is not merely cosmetic.)
Also don't see it as only an individual freedom issue; our legal system routinely limits freedoms due to various mental health issues.
For society, when doctors perform these surgeries and then send delusional people out into the world to perform as their chosen "identity" it does in effect force everyone else to participate in the delusion.
It is my understanding that one can still be kicked out of the military for being fat. Apparently that is ok, but being a tranny is over the line? If I was about to be discharged for obesity, I'd claim trans fats in food made it impossible to lose weight.
Also for having the beetus. Like being a T, it involves being medicalized long term, dependent on drugs which can’t be guaranteed available when deployed.
I described it as “a judicial decision soaked in the language of social media influencers,” and as an example of “middle school first-draft language, a formal decision written in schoolyard colloquialisms.” My conclusion:
“This person is not a judge. Robes don’t make her one.”
...will get you a 6 month suspended sentence in Britain
you're right that the UK now limits free speech to protected topics ("Allah Akbar" before stabbing infidels is OK, "Praise Jesus" on the street corner gets you arrested.)
makes me glad I'm not within their borders.
makes me sad the US legal system is sliding the same direction but at least we're not that far down the hill yet.
Interestingly I see in various places that judges are now upset that they are getting pushback for soft on crime and generally lefty decisions. You'd think that since congress shows no sign of actually impeaching them, they'd be fine. But no. For some reason judges and cops and prosecutors are now nervous about being identified as the people who have let violent felons out of jail repeatedly.
it's moving in a good direction, but until I see consequences for their bad actions (some of them have decades worth) I'll not be holding my breath regarding judges/cops/prosecutors facing justice
“You'd think that since congress shows no sign of actually impeaching them, they'd be fine. But no. For some reason judges and cops and prosecutors are now nervous about being identified as the people who have let violent felons out of jail repeatedly.”
Dollars to doughnuts the ones exhibiting this behavior have to face the voters for their reelections, rather than have lifetime appointments.
These woke women judges are cancer to our society. No law supercedes there feelings. Social justice outweighs everything. Banning tranny mental defectives playing make believe from our military will do the exact opposite of what these woke woman scolds say. That is, it will make our military more effective, and will increase the moral of the troops.
It's statistically significant how many of these decisions come from the socioethnic groups that they do.
Putting forth a decision/opinion seemingly based 100% on feelings is absolutely shocking. These people are expected to define the LAW, not their feelings, ffs.
The vain self regard of "social justice warrior" has the power to override all facts and considerations. It's probably the single most harmful social illness inflicted on the rest of humanity. When infecting federal judges, it's especially dangerous.
They literally cannot conceptualize the possibility that they might be wrong... because their whole ideology is based upon absolutist moral assumptions. Simultaneously, they pretend to be ethical relativists.
We have a ruling class deciding policy based upon whatever makes them feel like 'nice' people, and it's a disaster. Thank God for checks and balances.
- Medical professionals need to take a hard look at the harm that is being done to mentally ill young people, by not addressing the trans phenomenon as a predominantly transient mental / emotional disorder. People are watching the AAP, AMA, etc, and thinking . . what the hell?
- Judges must be judged, based on their performance, and judgement. Every judge should have a public, permanent record of every major case they have ever ruled on. The judicial system must police itself, or someone else eventually will. All judges should be ashamed, when one judge makes a dumb / harmful / partisan ruling. It’s not enough to say “mistakes happen” / “no one is perfect” / “the system, in time, corrects itself”.
No Kings/Queens . . . No Barons, Lords, Earls, or Dukes either.
The story really sums up the divide. On one side, we have Obama appointees promoting their toxic new world order and on the other you have Trump appointees enforcing the rule of law.
These people didn't care at about losing "a few good men" over the covid jabs. Their story about being worried about losing good service members rings very hollow.
100%
"...their loss will deplete the military, causing emotional harm to the American public:"
This is a judge in the American jurisprudence system. Writing like a tween in middle school for her English essay on the topic of injustice.
We're fucked.
Cooked, as the kids would say.
bsn
“We're fucked.”
Yes, if we lose SCOTUS.
IMO we will muddle through so long as we do not.
Yeah, I was stuck on “emotional harm” because it made no sense to me.
Last I checked the military wasn't in place to protect us from "emotional harm" but a different type of harm altogether
it's all about the perspective defining what is "good."
to these poor confused or evil souls, trannies are good and forced implementation of their beliefs is even better.
ganging together like-to-like could help.
reminds me of my world history class in high school. the teacher pointed out that a percentage of the Greeks and Romans in the military were homosexual. then he said “in battle, would you rather a disinterested soldier have your back, or another guy who /really/ loves your body and therefore has more reason to protect it? “
Did it wear its MBLA tshirt?
no, this was in the 1980s, though he was definitely an oddball.

He was MBLA, assuredly.
Exactly! Spot on!
By refusing or questioning the jabs, they ceased to be Good Men, is the logic going.
I read that as “logic gong”. :)
Hm. That would be the one to ring to signal that the logic bong is loaded?
Connect The Dots … so true .
These clowns dressed in black robes are scarier and more evil than Pennywise. Certainly more dangerous.
Impeachment of incompetent, arrogant, over-stepping judges needs to be the 2026 elections clarion call.

Pennywise only threatened one small town. These progressive judges are going to get our whole country fucking killed

not good.
Yes, Brazil especially is being destroyed by its Supreme Court. They’re not liberal judges, they’re communists punishing the successful.
Herbert Hoover called these types "totalitarian liberals". I really think that nails it.
CHICANERY, NEPOTISM, LOBBYING and BRIBE TAKING: the four pillars of the Brazilian judicial system.
Spoken like someone that knows.
Great point.
Here in Canada, nearly 100% of judicial decisions support the Liberal government. A complete lack of independence. At least in the US we'll get an occasional ruling against the status quo.

Nothing wrong with calling felonious Fabian’s leftists. Or Oxford commie queers — e.g., incompetent courtesan Keynes or its poodle protege Krugman.
Impeach all you want. We don’t have the votes in the Senate for a single removal of a leftist judge, unless perhaps they murder someone.
The process can be the punishment—maybe even bankrupt these people. State AGs should also begin impeachment proceedings. Attack on all fronts.
bsn
Case in point the emotional diatribes coming out of Ketanji brown Jackson's so brilliant legal mind that cite no case law whatsoever.
Never going to happen.
Never is a long time. 2026 is likely too soon, but judicial impeachment could become part of the 2028 platform. Call it 'Judicial Reform' or something a savvy marketer could name. Could be a nationalizing call after Trump leaves office. This would inspire the base again. All of the grotesque murders from 20+ repeat offenders have filled the electorate with disgust. Disgust and outrage are motivating emotions.

No. I meant that if I was a soldier and became wounded. I don't work directly with him, but I can imagine it would be disruptive those who do.
My advice would be not to play along with his new false identity/persona. It is important to protect one's own sanity, and continue living in reality. You may lose your job, as the medical field seems almost unsalveagable at this point, and "believing in reality" is a liability to those folks.

Okay but are you a tranny

The vain self regard of "social justice warrior" has the power to override all facts and considerations. It's probably the single most harmful social illness inflicted on the rest of humanity. When infecting federal judges, it's especially dangerous.
They literally cannot conceptualize the possibility that they might be wrong... because their whole ideology is based upon absolutist moral assumptions. Simultaneously, they pretend to be ethical relativists.
We have a ruling class deciding policy based upon whatever makes them feel like 'nice' people, and it's a disaster. Thank God for checks and balances.

beautifully said. Though in reality, it's all just cover for their graft operations.

I feel safer already.
Two things:
- Medical professionals need to take a hard look at the harm that is being done to mentally ill young people, by not addressing the trans phenomenon as a predominantly transient mental / emotional disorder. People are watching the AAP, AMA, etc, and thinking . . what the hell?
- Judges must be judged, based on their performance, and judgement. Every judge should have a public, permanent record of every major case they have ever ruled on. The judicial system must police itself, or someone else eventually will. All judges should be ashamed, when one judge makes a dumb / harmful / partisan ruling. It’s not enough to say “mistakes happen” / “no one is perfect” / “the system, in time, corrects itself”.
No Kings/Queens . . . No Barons, Lords, Earls, or Dukes either.
The markets in human experimentation are more alluring - sad to say.
These creatures do not reproduce, and yet they multiply.
... while dividing.
They have help. https://margox.substack.com/p/adventures-in-baby-making?r=1kuq0
The story really sums up the divide. On one side, we have Obama appointees promoting their toxic new world order and on the other you have Trump appointees enforcing the rule of law.
