Chase Strangio looks a lot like The Colonel in Monty Python's Flying Circus, played by long dead Graham Chapman who died of AIDS nearly forty years ago. What a strange name Mr. Strangio has, almost like he made it up.
Do we really have technology to translate pronouns into their proper form? I'd probably pay money for that. It's extremely difficult to understand some of the nonsense that gets pumped out as "news" these days... which is the point, I suppose.
OT, but since you're from Maryland, what is the current "danger" status of the area in which Camden Yards is located? During a golf round Wednesday wiith a retired Johns Hopkins-trained physician, I made a joke about the danger of attending an Orioles game, and he argued with me.
The Baltimore police and the Orioles and Ravens do a pretty good job policing the sports events. Johns Hopkins over the years has expanded its security forces.
I hopped over to Chase's Instagram. She has a high-pitched voice with a distinctive female uptalk and slow blinking and gesturing with a female affect. She's around 5' tall and looks to weigh about 115 pounds.
When the brain goes wrong, oh man it really goes wrong. And watching this particular mind-virus take hold is quite distressing. The Great Filter approaches.
I love your sarcasm. Or is it sarcasm? Just kidding. Of course it is. Or is it? It’s hard to know. Who can really know any of these things. Maybe just the way a teenager knows these things. Or a rabbi knows these things. Or maybe I’m kidding. Or maybe you are. Or are we just sitting in a vat of chemicals in virtual reality?
As I've said before, the NYT comments section can be surprisingly based on various issues like affirmative action, transgenderism, crime and policing, etc.
The Guardian's comment section was also surprisingly based until about 2018/19. Right wing opinions were tolerated if they were well argued, which forced the leftie commenters to up their game, and so there were a lot of good discussions.
But some of the Guardian's star 'BAME' columnists, such as Afua Hirsch, were being trashed in the comments by all comers every week. One day around 2019 a Hirsch column appeared with no comments allowed and they were never enabled again on any of her articles. By 2021 around 90% of opinion articles had no comment option.
The paid subscribers of the NYT would not accept that but the Guardian doesn't need the money.
Yeah but despite this we cannot make these claims out loud in real life, at the office or at school. Every argument against something is a moral outrage.
The left sure does hate it when people ask questions. I've seen memes/running gags about it. "Don't you just hate those people? 'I'm just asking questions,' they say all innocent when it's just a cover for being MAGA pigs!"
Claiming that restricting the 'rights' of children/minors to disfigure themselves is an abomination certainly classifies as a mental disorder of its own. I enjoyed the fat joke, but it also made me think of this example.
Billy is a healthy twelve year old in every way, except he has already realized that he is a drunkard. He loves booze in all of its forms. He likes a good beer buzz early in the morning (to steal a line), and he also likes a variety of mixed drinks at cocktail time. However, those evil haters in the government have made it illegal for Billy to purchase alcohol and have also made it illegal for adults to help him achieve his identity. The harm being done to child drunkards by these dipsophobes is immeasurable. All that these children want is a bit of respect and some drunk-affirming care (like a keg and a crate of whiskey every week or so).
The reality that is still apparently forbidden to state is that the major trans figures are all psychologically tortured people that subsequently tortured their bodies, and want to move the Overton window so that the obviously extreme lengths they have gone to will not be considered grotesque by society at large.
As morally revolting as people like Strangio are, they would have been total fringe figures if not for a very well coordinated and funded effort by academics, gay activist organizations, politicians, and the medical industry itself. There is a lot to be unearthed here and brought before the public, and I sincerely want them all to suffer - a lot.
The success of any-sex marriage activism last decade depended a lot on garden-variety adulterers, cohabitates, etc who liked the cover that sexual permissiveness towards homosexuals provided for more run-of-the-mill sexual improprieties. Homosexuals then did the same thing using the transsexuals: prop up some extreme weirdos who by comparison made homosexuals look normal.
During election season one of my #1 issues was the transing of kids, allowing men in women's sports, and in women's spaces. The Trans Issue. Whenever I was arguing with liberals on the merits of voting for Donald Trump, and I brought up the trans issue, they always said "uh why are we talking about trans?" They always dismissed it and avoided talking about it.
I asked Perplexity whether Strangio chose his name just to twit normies:
There is no evidence that Chase Strangio chose his name specifically to provoke or "twit normies." Publicly available information indicates that Strangio is a transgender man who came out during law school and adopted a name that aligns with his gender identity. In his own writing, Strangio emphasizes that his chosen name represents who he is and is part of moving beyond a painful past associated with his birth name, rather than being a statement aimed at others or a reaction to mainstream sensibilities. The idea that he selected his name to antagonize or mock "normies" (a slang term for mainstream or conventional people) is not supported by any credible sources. The choice of a new name is a common and personal part of many transgender people's transition and is typically about self-affirmation, not about provoking others
Most trans people don’t change their surname. Masha Gessen (now going by M. Gessen) is clearly edging away from the female name Masha but still uses the same surname.
M. Gessen (Masha) used to be a lesbian but seems to be heading toward ex-woman status. She’s not credible any longer (she wants to be called “they” but I won’t. They is plural, sorry.)
She is an excellent thought experiment for anyone who actually wants to sort through this transsexualism nonsense and clarify the truth. Not that thought experiments should be needed - the common sense of a five year old should be sufficient. But apparently the New York Times and its contributors and readers lack any sense at all.
There is no slurring here. Karen Carpenter was a prominent musician who tragically died of anorexia and related inappropriate pharmaceutical treatment. Mr. Sailer used her example to illuminate the danger and foolishness of treating a false self-image with serious medical interventions.

Very strange name indeed. He’s another trans loon.
"Maybe you know the way teenagers often know things..."
"Know" is doing lot of work in that statement. But not as much as "teenagers".
Do we really have technology to translate pronouns into their proper form? I'd probably pay money for that. It's extremely difficult to understand some of the nonsense that gets pumped out as "news" these days... which is the point, I suppose.
Chase Strangio thinks she is Thurgood Marshall, except that Thurgood Marshall wasn't pretending to be black.
William Brennan was Thurgood Marshall's alter-ego. Does that make Marshall an honorary white?

I knew a lot of stuff when I was a teenager…almost everything.
My mother somehow still loved me years later.
Have we passed “peak trans”?
Maybe, but what on earth will happen next?

And now the comments are down?

Excellent. Teenage Karen Carpenter insisting on Ozempic and liposuction too.

Actually a lot of gays have turned against trans, especially for children. These kids are often destined to be gay as adults.
Some even use only LGB, with no T.
Some have, but it's a bit late in the day. Gay indifference or acquiescense over the last 10-15 years gave this movement a big head of steam.
Gays realized their power had limits and the public was turning against them and tried to backtrack their support.

If M Gessen is "Masha Gessen", that is also a trans.
Yep, same person.

Poor Karen.

I agree, but enough of the leftist Karen slur.
Christina Karen Trent.

Got it.
