Boastings and Sweet Lies

Timothy Birdnow

Here is an essay that is bouncing off a column in Salon which calls for "pride" for dudes in dresses. The Salon article spoke much of the positive health benefits of being proud without differentiating pride for something well done and arrogance. Author Elizabeth Hlavinka appears not to understand the difference.

In point of fact there is too much pride these days; hubris is one of modernity's chief flaws. Pride, as the old saying points out, goeth before a fall. Pride was the very first sin, the one that consumed Lucifer and later our own great, great, great, great ....grandparents.

And the Left has been puffing people up with pride for decades now. I remember back in the '80's when the self-esteem movement got rolling; the left told us kids didn't do well in school because they weren't sufficiently proud of themselves and so the push was on to bloat up their self-esteem. This was done in many ways - participation trophys instead of giving them only to the winners, grade inflation in schools, etc. Children were told they were BETTER than adults and that THEY were smarter and wiser. The outcome? You had pepole like David Hogg, a monster of arrogance and vanity. Hogg once said, "it's like a phone; you have to just take the damned thing out of their hands and fix it for them." Of course Hogg had no idea of how much he didn't know then (or now) and how much more his parents knew. He mistook competency with a gadget, one that didn't exist when his parents were growing up. But I'll bet Hogg would be stymied with a rotary dial phone, or a manual typewriter. Bet he can't even drive a stick shift.

But he is the ideal the Left has long sought to achieve. Greta Thurnberg too. Empty headed arrogant little snots who have been told all their lives they are demigods and who believe they are brilliant when in fact they are pretty dull.

But getting back to this "pride" business. Why is a boy who is play-acting at being a girl more deserving of pride than an actual girl who actually accomplished something? One of the big problems these days is boys competing in girl's sports, shattering records as they are in a whole other class than the girls with whom they are competing. Most of these boys were mediocre athletes as boys but they are dominant in women's sports. Why, pray tell, are their feelings more important than all the girls who either won a silver or bronze, or worse no medal at all? There are a lot more bruised egos from pushing these dudes in dresses than just that one person who might not be as proud if he had to compete fairly against his own.

And it is a false pride, one unearned. Imagine a Heavyweight boxer being allowed to fight in the Welterweight class. He'd be unstoppable. But nobody would respect him because he had an obvious, unfair advantage. So if he knocks out the champ and gets the belt he has no reason to be proud; it was a form of chating. Imagine too a 25 year old man playing in a league for 13 year olds. That is ALMOST as creepy as dudes in dresses! And it is about as fair.

Our dunderheaded champion of faux science has this to say:

I'm sorry but prancing about in women's clothing is the source of their shame, not how society feels about it. These "women" know full well in their hearts they are men pretending to be women. If there is shame it is because they are ashamed of themselves.

There is such a thing as Natural Law and it is written on our hearts and in our minds. Nobody has to tell you about it; you instinctively know it. A boy knows he's a boy. He may have some trauma, something that twisted his mind, but deep down this boy knows what he is and by pretending to be otherwise he's violating Natural Law, and in the process he feels shame. It's true in many other aspects of life. Take any kinky fetish and you will find the person who practices it is ashamed of himself, tries to keep it quiet. There are very few people who have sex with animals, or with their sisters, or who get off on consuming the contents of the toilet, who boast about it. The few that do do so to shock people, nothing more, and they desire to do that as a way of convincing themselves it's acceptable. But it's not and they know it. I believe trans people know it too.

So how can you have "positive health outcomes" when you are flying in the face of Nature, of the natural order? You can't. This is only taking a sickness and metastasizing it.

The LGBTQEIEIO crowd is big on "who you are" and claims they are being authentic. How so? There is nothing authentic in taping your penis to your leg, or getting breast implants, or anything else associated with trans. It is by it's very nature deception - deceiving others and deceiving yourself. it is wholly inauthentic. "Who you are" is what Nature and Nature's God made you, not what you believe you can become through an act of will and a defiance of reality. If a trans person wants to be authentic they need to stop being trans.

I would add the homosexual community came up with that "this is who we are" business to thwart efforts by the medical community to cure homosexuality. Back in the 19th century homosexuals largely remained in the closet, but writings from that time showed they saw their gayness not as an identity but as a choice. They saw themselves as rebels. But when new psychological techniques were devised and the possibility of curing, or at least treating, homosexuality arose they switched it up and began claiming "this is who we are" because they knew that Americans wouldn't condemn them if they didn't havea choice. If there was a choice then they actually wanted to be homosexual, and the moral implications of that were obvious. But if it wasn't a choice nobody could blame them! It was wildly successful and now is applied to almost every minority group. They all say it's just who they are, they are hard-wired that way. But that is not true.

We know the human brain can rewire itself based on training and effort. for example, Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz did seminal research on OCD patients and was successful in treating them using mindful meditation - they rewired their brains JUST BY THINKING. Being gay might seem natural to gay people but it's largely because they rewired their brains to be gay. It no doubt can be rewired back.

As the Bible says, "as a man thinketh so shall he be".

BUT that doesn't mean he can alter fundamental aspects of his existence, like his sex. All he can do is fake it.

That is the core of our problem in this modern age; we are arrogant, believing ourselves to be gods and thinking we can have and do anything we like as long as we will it.

I would call this witchcraft; an atttempt to alter reality via an act of will and manipulation of circumstances. We live in an age of witches.

In the old stories the witch can transform herself into a beautiful girl via enchantment, but in the end she's always revealed as an old crone. Her beauty is not real. Just like the femininity of transsexuals.

No matter how much social validation the emperor's new wardrobe may get in the final analysis he's still naked.
