This narrow way

Michael Knowles is in boiling H2O for his recent remarks on transgenderism at CPAC.

Of course, the usual suspects couldn’t contain themselves. Rolling Stone and Variety immediately wrote that Knowles was calling for genocide. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre accused Knowles of “calling for the eradication of transgender people.” Media Matters called it “eliminationist, genocidal rhetoric.” I could go on and on but you get the idea. That wasn’t at all what Knowles said. He clearly said that the ideology of transgenderism is what needs to be eradicated. But why should a detail like that that get in the way of the screaming meemies on the left.

That said, I completely, absolutely, 100% agree with Michael Knowles. Transgenderism is a plague on this country and on our society and must be pulled up by its evil, Satanic roots and completely destroyed before it destroys us. If it sounds alarmist that’s because it is. By kowtowing to the transgender activists and their twisted ideology, we are in the process reordering our society around the whims of those suffering from a mental illness. Yes, mental illness. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness (as Casey Stengel once said, you could look it up) and should be treated as such.

Here are just a few of the many examples of the damage transgenderism has done so far. Most people are probably aware of the most well-known case of men invading what used to be women only spaces, Lia Thomas at the University of Pennsylvania. “Lia” was a mediocre male swimmer who couldn’t cut it competing against other men so he (I refuse to use she because she isn’t a she) decided to call himself a woman and…well, whaddaya know…world records followed.

Unfortunately the University of Pennsylvania and the NCAA didn’t tell the other female swimmers that a biological man would be allowed in their dressing room. When the other girls expressed their displeasure and disapproval, they were called bigots and transphobes. Those who spoke out were told that if they felt uncomfortable with a naked man in their locker room, the girls are the ones who should seek counseling. And, oh by the way, shut up or you’ll never get into grad school.

That’s just the best-known case. The girls’ basketball team at a Christian school in Vermont refused to play a game against an opponent that had a transgender girl boy playing on the team. “The Vermont Principals Association ruled that Mid Vermont Christian School had violated policies and is ineligible to participate in future tournaments that it sanctions. The move applies to all sports.”

At a swimming pool in Calgary, Alberta, a parent who was waiting outside a local pool for his daughter was told there was a naked man in the locker room. When the man complained he was told he could speak to the manager, but the naked man was protected under the human rights act.

“The concerned parent said he wasn’t the only one at the pool who had questions, but he was the only one willing to speak up at the time the incident occurred. He had questions for the lifeguard on duty.

“I asked her if she had any kids and she said yes a 7-year-old daughter, I asked if she would be ok with this man using the same changing room as her daughter and she couldn’t answer that question, just kept telling me he’s protected under the human rights (act),” the concerned parent said.”

There’s a parent already beaten into submission. Meanwhile, back in Vermont:

“[D]rama erupted this season as biological females from the Randolph High School volleyball team when a biological male made inappropriate comments while changing with the biological females.

The station reports parents and athletes raised concerns with the school and that’s when the wheels of the transgender freight train were put in motion.

The biological females were the problem.

An email was sent out to families explaining Vermont law. The email stated there is “plenty of space where students who feel uncomfortable with the laws may change in privacy.”

That’s right, if you’re a biological female who doesn’t feel comfortable changing in a locker room with a biological male, that’s a YOU problem and it’s on YOU to find a new place to change.”

I guess in a state that’s crazy enough to keep electing Bernie Sanders anything’s possible.

And then there is possible the most grievous and disturbing story of where this headlong descent into the abyss of transgenderism can lead. It comes from the infamous Loudon County in Virginia where a father was dragged out of a School Board meeting and arrested after accusing the Board of covering up the rape of his teenage daughter in a high school bathroom.

“The shocking account of the sexual assault of the ninth-grade girl was first reported by The Daily Wire. The report included accusations that school board officials tried to squelch the story because it threatened to undercut support for a new policy to treat transgender students according to their chosen sex.

Scott Smith, the girl’s father, reacted angrily at a June 22 school board meeting when board members claimed to have no records of any assaults in school bathrooms. Law enforcement officials physically dragged Mr. Smith out of the room before he made any public statements to the board.”

If that wasn’t bad enough

“The boy accused of assaulting Mr. Smith’s daughter was later charged with sexually assaulting another girl at a different school in the county, the father later told Fox News Channel.”

Sickening. And that’s just the damage transgenderism is doing to those who are subject to people with gender dysphoria. What about the serious and often irreversible harm done to those who suffer from it?

“The youth victims of trans ideology are perhaps the most tragic. The cross-sex hormones given to minors are associated with severe joint pain, osteoporosis, compromised immune systems, thrombosis, heart attack, stroke, and infertility. The bodies of gender dysphoric people are irrevocably damaged before they can legally drink, drive, buy a scratch-off ticket, see an R-rated movie, and, most importantly, before their brains are fully developed and they’ve undergone puberty. If ever they change their minds (which most eventually do), there’s often no reversing the damage that’s been done.”

“The hormones and surgeries do not fix gender-confused people’s psychological turmoil, which is why they suffer from disturbingly high rates of suicide, depression, and self-harm. One study found that more than 50 percent of “trans and non-binary youth” in the U.S. considered suicide in 2022.”

This sums it up perfectly.

“Transgender ideology is dangerous to women, children, and gender dysphoric individuals. It destroys people’s minds and bodies and is, without a doubt, cancerous to society. Michael Knowles is absolutely correct; it needs to be eradicated.”
