I’ve been following the recent transgender debate from the side-lines. Gender studies was never really my expertise, although I recognised the relevance of the theories for my work, especially in my doctoral studies which investigated lecturers’ teaching practice. I have been somewhat bewildered at the lack of critical thinking in the discussions about the trans-agenda, and the connections with the social-constructionist views of the world (and the well-established critiques of that worldview).
But this latest story about how US retailer Target is promoting explicitly trans/pride clothing to toddlers, leaves me beyond words. Neil McCoy-Ward has just posted an excellent summary (15 mins) of the current situation with Target. I recommend you watch it to stay informed with this crisis for our society. And please share to raise awareness to parents.
These are real dangers, not harmless words on ‘colourful clothing’. If children are being subjected to the normalisation of terms like ‘binding’ what are the consequences for their future well-being? How can the biological facts of our bodies be trampled on without people standing up for what is right? When is this insanity going to end and common sense prevail?
There is absolutely no doubt that there is a clear and very well structured agenda behind all the transgender stuff getting such prominence recently. The people and organisations behind it are EXACTLY the same ones as those behind the idea of transhumanism. In both cases, it is an obsession with physically altering the human body from its naturally born state. It has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality or so called 'human rights'. Adult people of sound mind are free to do as they please with their own body but any attempt to shove this down the throats of others should be met with a very firm response. I know there are organisations like gays against groomers who are stepping up against it but they are firmly of the LGB camp. I am yet to see anyone from the T bit speaking out even though it is in their own best interests to do so in order to show there are actually dissenting voices within the Transgender community. Failure to speak out by members of this community may (and likely will) result in a knee jerk response from the general public against any and ALL Transgender people...and nobody wants that really (except maybe the people orchestrating all of this).
