The Assault on Sexual “Normativity” Is an Assault on the Basic Structure of Reality

  • Queer Theory has launched an assault against what it calls the “cis-normative,” “hetero-normative,” “patriarchal” society. They want to break down the “gender binary”-the division between man and woman-and replace it with a battery of new sexual and political identities. But what happens when a society abandons the basic structure of reality and embraces an ideology of pure sexual negation? Can it survive?

    They’re also trying to normatize drug addiction, shoplifting…

      I have to disagree on the drug addiction. Studies show that getting people in treatment lowers the crime rate and success rates are much higher than people think. Also puts em in the work force. I know because I was a teenage addict. I'm 30 now. I've been clean and sober for a decade now. It took a lot of work but a lot of people I started in treatment with are still there. Were all working. Were all alive.
      There still are a lot of archaic laws that make it harder for us to pay for our treatments and that can effectively put us in prison if we do so much as lapse on a parking ticket.
      In CA for example you can be a drug addict and get caught with two small $10 baggies but never commit any other crimes. Never harm anyone. Then one day u lapse on a parking ticket or something stupid and now ur doing life in prison with murderers and rapist.
      Shit does need to change when it comes to addiction. Big pharma and the cartels and DOCTORS got lots of people addicted. Many of them like me, when we were young. And there's not much help for us. And stigma hurts us.
      Shoplifting goes down when addiction rates go down. When people are given treatment and allowed to work and not treated worse than child molesters just because they experimented with drugs in their youth, then society benefits as a whole.
      I see comments like this once in a blue moon from people who think they're conservatives but the truth is the woke actually don't help addicts at all. Trump and Trump supporters are the reason why addicts have the support we know have. Red states are increasing access to narcan and suboxone, democrats help every group BUT the addicts.
      It is true that the woke have failed on crime enforcement but mere drug users who don't harm anyone and who don't commit any other crimes, shouldn't even be part of law enforcement.
      If we stopped busting drug users we could use those resources to bust the dealers, and use the money siezed in operations to open more suboxone and methadone clinics so more people can be put back into the workforce. So more lives can be saved. So more young people can find God.
      You are confusing ur personal bias with your political leanings and that's not right.

      I mean at this point nobody has to "normalize" drug addiction. Its already been normalized in the sense that entire communities are deeply affected by it and we all have someone we love who has been affected by it whether it's prescription drugs or street drugs it's irrelevant.

    One of these instances of inserting a political identity is the editorial requirement to capitalize "Black" but not "white" when referring to someone's race. It's a widespread practice across media now.
    Effectively, it means that any use of the word "Black" when referring to an individual imposes upon that individual a political meaning, regardless of whether that individual is acting in a political manner or even agrees with the concept.
    It also normalizes the racist notion that "white" individuals are to be excluded from being political entities.

    To explain the success: It sounds like teenagerism values on steroids, which became extended beyond the age group (particularly into the 20-30 year olds college group). Like the moving of other age behaviors in society at large. College is the new teens, Teens are the new elementary school. So we get also the Teens playing "imaginary games" of pretended gender identity exactly at the age when it is supposed to crystallize. These weakness drifts of society are then getting manipulated opportunistically by various interest groups.

    Well said, thankyou. As a 62 year old gay man, and maori from New Zealand we have excepted the transgender community for 40 50 60 years. Until now.
    I love the way you came about your solution about accepting anyone that doesn't fit the norm, for a new reality. I guess that is geographical and cultural. Each society I believe has a different reality, but not to far from the original concept of God, the values of the church and the human need for reproduction. Even though the christianity has taken a beating in the last 60 years or so, those values still exists. Thank goodness.
    I don't see the end game. I put myself in their shoes, activism, reinvent myself, join other activists, learn the language of defence, in some cases get a sex change, and go on medications for the rest of my life and what then. In many cases the Ideology consumes them, they wake up every day and life is only about their identity. That's so shallow. People reinvent themselves everyday, and still maintain a productive self to contribute to a functioning society. I can't see how the Transgender Activist is going to maintain a steady, healthy and productive life. Who's going to pay the bills?.
    I love your work and your an inspiration to the cause and we thankyou. Each country in the west has the same ideology being played out differently, but none the less the same ideology.
    Transgender Activists hate me here, but I don't care about them, I care about the future of New Zealand's children the mums dads their grandparents and the future of our country. Im so grateful to wake up everyday to notice im not the only one in this war on morality.

      I am a gay man too and find all of this wokeism and queerness a threat to our community as it is causing all of these identities to melt together into an indistinct amorphous blob. Being queer has nothing to do anymore with being gay. In fact calling oneself queer can be a way for perfectly straight people to assume a performative “LGBTQ” identity in order to increase their social credit standing.
      The same thing with transgenderism. I am old enough to remember when sex and gender were seen as separate categories. One’s gender identity was not seen as trumping one’s biological sex. When the trans movement changed to “transwomen are women” mode circa 2015 it became nearly as impossible to define what gay and straight meant as to define what man and woman meant. It watered down the meaning of sexual orientation because it negates the relevance of biology.

Lagerfeld famously stated that any woman opposed to this warped idealised image of extremely thin physique, is a fat, lazy, corrupt, unmotivated, disgusting failure sitting on a couch devouring potato chips and sugary soda, blaming everyone else for their bloated appearance, or words to that effect. Which should demonstrate the utter contempt with which these mincing "creatures" regard a healthy, realistic, natural, attractive female body image. Quite why women as a whole were so willing to outsource their body image and fashion sense to these abhorrent antagonists to their best interests & outcomes, is less obvious, but equally responsible.

However for the majority it’s mental issues and laziness. But I guarantee many of these mental health issues could be alleviated if people got the physical aspects of their life straightened out. Being physically fit helps one’s psychological fitness more than most people could ever imagine!

      It is the basic premise of relativity and the idea that everything is subjective and there is no objective truth which of course there is. Objectivity is proven both by repeatability (the basis of all scientific testing) and also Geography. Also experience tells us this is true. If I die, then the world continues on without me. I know this as I have seen people being buried and yet life continued, no matter how painfully. It is only children who doubt object permanence. We know that a tree can exist for over a hundred years and outlive most humans. There is so much evidence for objectivity that subjectivity has no credence at all. We may experience things differently but that is our brains, cognitive biases etc. Our brains though cannot change what is 'out there'. That is called magical thinking.

    Your reminders of how bad things are, whilst important for people who maybe aren't red-pilled, I find just depressing. I HATE the power that woke unquestionably has, particularly on my generation (Gen Z). It is not just a disgrace, but a civilizational humiliation, that we allowed it to get so powerful. Our pathetic weakness when it comes to facing woke will forever taint the value of our society, even if we recover from it, which ghastly polling seems to suggest unlikely.
    Gen Z once seemed to be the vanguard of hope in the rational skeptic/anti-SJW era, and early polls seemed to confirm it. I was proud to belong to the 'turning point generation' that would smash both economic and cultural liberalism, two sides of the same evil. But the mass deplatforming after 2016 worked (as AOC smugly boasted), and now poll after bloody poll shows them the most brainwashed of any generation. No matter how much I feel there should be a backlash, it just never comes.
    I prefer talk on how we can fight back. I want these people to properly pay for what they have inflicted on our society in the past 20 years.
    I want to replace their mocking 'we're on the right side of history' with a crushed, broken fear. Nothing less than total eradication will stop them, as they have a religious fervour which outmatches our own, and they will never stop fighting for their evil beliefs unless the actual physical force of the state stops them.
    If they are to take us seriously, and not just 'progressives at the speed limit' we need to at least repeal gay marriage. Gay marriage showed the LGBT activists that social conservatives are pathetic, weak, and can be easily manipulated, and that they will always make conservatives capitulate in the end, even when passing the measures they wanted was by overturning direct democracy by lawless judicial activists.
    We must unapologetically undo the cultural changes of at least the past 25 years, and sear in the woke activist's minds one unforgettable lesson: to NEVER humiliate us again.

It has nothing to do with how someone is born but an assumed identity that maximizes countercultural identities in order to overturn society. It’s also possible for perfectly heterosexual people to assume a “queer” identity in order to increase their social credit standing and appear to be something they’re not without the fear of their fraud being called out.

    I know that probably most of you would tell me that I m tinhat - yes I m. :) And u know why ? Becouse I chose to be. Becouse in times as this average people who realy dont have much to say anymore in most topics (politicians dont listen to us, only to You-Know-Who :D ), the best thing we can do for our own safety is to be constantly aware and sceptic to any political narration. To not be indoctrinated. Becouse to be indoctrinated means to not be immune for deception, false flags, mass psychosis, mass mind-control. We neet to be tinhats to not be too much (everyone of us is to some degree I think) indoctrinated. And to be such person with such immunisation for most toxic of political ideologies (transgenderism, transhumanism, some sick ideas of "new age" - not everything there is stupid though, marxism, communism, or too much of "wild" corporationism - a sick version of capitalism, and global big-pharma manipulations) the best thing I can do is think as tinhat - which means scepticaly toward ANY narration of any political party (globalism, nationalism, whateverism) :D of this sick system. In our days "tinhat" literary is the new CENTRISM. I chose to be tinhat (no, I m not against all things modern - I believe in equal rights of males and females, BECOUSE I believe in existence of males and females (of course some people have problems with their sexual identity but thats not MY problem, as sexuality is private thing, their problems with it is their private problems), and I m not flatearther and creationism/religion is for me something to debate, not something obvious) :) but when this bio-robot (becouse I can not thing about him as human even if I tried) said about... eh, what he said it reminded me about a theory which I made in recent months about the real goals of transgenderism (sold under the pretex of LGB-rights and under the media shield of LGB-rights). Be aware that it is only _my own theory_, not something I watched somewhere. I only conected the dots in this topic as best as I was able. Though I m sure these dots are much more than I could have found myself. On the "piramidion" of this topic's piramid of power are two brothers. I m positive that its them who give money for all those intiatives, TV shows, parades, and schools. Their goal is in reality not anyones rights but production of speciphicaly disturbed people with speciphic mindset, who will be used as "lab rats" for trans-humanism genetical experiments. All those people who are - I guess - in need of true love and they are psychologicaly and biological not able to make firm relationships (I dont mean "regular" LGB I mean the rest of "letters"). These people - delusional, abused mentaly - will be more and more % in population - not many "regular" people will be able to make steady relationships with them (sexualy speaking but maybe also as friends, as I m sure many of regular majority would like to avoid these people now becouse of obvious reasons - we dont want them near our partners and our kids ! ) and most of these people who were chemicaly and surgicaly sterilised will be also mentaly and medicaly dependant on big-pharma. But most of those who were sterilised will want to have kids. And I m sure that under the pretext of giving them this ability (biological way) again, and under the pretext of helping poorest women (who would like to "work" as surogates mothers), and under the pretext of developing an invention from 2017 of artificial uterus - all those pretexts will be used to make genetical modifications (secretly) on "babies for gays" or "babies for transgenders". Most of transgenders are so disturbed that they actualy dont have a clue about how to be one of the other of reale genders. Their instincs to care for real babies are psychologicaly and by global - medias indoctrination already disturbed. Esp men who likes to be women will not be able to be real mothers for little kids (becouse they are NOT women), maybe women who like to be men will be more in tune with the things that need little babies and kids. And so most of these people (even if not as pathological as this guy here) will not be able to realy CARE for what is DONE to their adopted (or artificialy created but biological way) children. So they will not be only those who will get help in becoming parents, they will also be such kind of parents which wont care about what genetical engineering is doing to their prospective children. And what these two brothers (famous and rich guys) will have as their main goal is I guess development of human species (by genetic engineering) to a kind of humans which are able to live long and healthy IN SPACE. We cannot live and work without limits and without become sick in space. Under the pretext of helping sterilised people to be "parents" these kids will be geneticaly developed by modifications made with the help of MRNA - virusological technology. Thats their most futuristic goal I guess :) Becouse no one of regular persons (I guess even not LGB persons ) under no pressure or under any kinds of awarding would not agree to modification of THEIR OWN kids before birth ! And open genetical modifications of human DNA are prohibited ! Its illigal ! But most of those rich elites want to escape to space and you know they need soldiers, guards, caretakers, smart technicians, and luxury chefs areound them :D But these people - transgender people - are already so disturbed unhappy and they already think about children as TOYS to show off on "social medias" that they can be used as "artificial uterus" and "artificial parent". Thats my theory.

      Men and women have kids.
      Some people shave their head and put on some lipstick and call it an "identity" known as "non binary" some of them are parents, which is sad.
      The vast overwhelming majority of people who identify as non binary are under the age of 25 and don't have children. It's called demographics, sweet heart.
      I know ur a leftist and u think ur smart and "nothing is what it seems" and "everyone is special"

    In my home state Tennessee our governor signed a law banning gender changes on birth certificates and official documents you should try it in Florida governor DeSantis it could make a big difference.
