Move over Feminists. There’s a new sheriff in town.
Very recently an event occurred that marked the end of Feminism as we know it. The Transgender movement effectively spayed and neutered Feminism, and did it without a shot being fired.
The Feminist movement had a long but often troubled run. The movement was based entirely on two similar points. No female reproductive system, no worth. And followed by “If you aren’t us, you are the problem”. Feminists proclaimed they spoke for all women everywhere. And many more women everywhere proclaimed they did not. Not noted for being overly tolerant flexible or inclusive, the group pushed and shoved it’s way to prominence on the World stage. Until recently.
The Transgender agenda began long ago. Some consider its official coming out occurred when Bruce Jenner aka Caitlyn, appeared on ESPN. While Caitlyn may be the poster child, wheels were turning long before Bruce became brave. Debate ensued as to Caitlyn’s motivation, which clouded the issue some. What did matter was that this event clearly signaled the shifting of power from Feminism to Transgenders. Aided by media and embraced by nearly every institution of higher learning, the Transgender cause tossed Feminism to the back of the bus and took its place as the premier cause to champion and support at the expense of all other causes.
In order to better understand why Feminism had to be sacrificed to usher in a new lifestyle to worship and adore, it is helpful to know and understand the new terminology involved.
Gender assignment. Formerly known as “the sex you were born with”. Decided by God, Mother Nature, or whatever your personal beliefs dictate, the choices are by today’s standards, somewhat limiting. If you are forward thinking or evolved enough you have come to the conclusion that you are not limited by gender assignment. And by the way don’t call Nature Mother. It’s derogatory and offensive.
Cisgender. A relatively new term for backwards thinking, un evolved people who lack the foresight to realize they need not remain constrained by the gender assignment placed on them at birth. The opposite of transgender. And formerly known as ” the vast majority of human kind”. Calling this group “everyone else” did nothing to further the Trans cause so a new name was needed. Cisgender can be further narrowed down to Cismale or Cisfemale. This is what the Transgender community calls you if you’re not in the Transgender community. And I suspect that when they do, they muster up all the respect and acceptance that the gay community does when calling you a breeder.
Gender identity. What you feel you identify best with. A personal choice that only you can make based on your own personal feelings, tempered by external influences, peer pressure, and more recently, reality television. This is a fluid process, and can change often. For this reason, it is best to never assume the gender identity of another person. Appearances can be deceiving. Offensive names like sister or brother should be avoided. The list of approved names to use when addressing a Transgender person grows daily. And heads up, any terms used up till recently are not on the list. To the uninformed cisgender, the approved names and titles may appear to be a foreign language. As you will be assimilated, it is in your own best interest to learn and use approved terminology.
The reason Feminism is incompatible with our nation converting to the Trans standard has everything to do with the archaic Feminist notion that gender matters. The silly notion that one gender could possibly be superior to another has gone the way of the dinosaur. Until Feminists let go of beliefs even older that flat earth, they will never again regain their prominence in the arena of forcing unwanted ideas upon all others beneath them. Adapt or be swept from importance. Feminists could learn lessons from the Christian community on how well unwavering belief in a single idea plays out today. And I strongly suspect Feminists all over are suddenly realizing that maybe ovaries aren’t all that in deciding human importance. The Transgender movement has a big big tent and lots of room for anyone who feels the grass is greener elsewhere. And has the political clout to impose itself wherever it wants. And it wants.
And society today is all about sacrificing the will of the many to pander to the will of the chosen few. Which makes one wonder how long the Trans community will retain it lofty position. What former socially unacceptable behavior is lurking in the wings just waiting for ESPN to make their own appointed poster child into a hero and a star? Time will tell.
The person who wrote the story called “The Emperor’s New Clothes” had a pretty good finger on the pulse of today’s society as far as our lemming like behavior goes. As we race from fad to fad, from bandwagon to bandwagon, and change what we value on a near daily basis, have we possibly as a society lost touch with reality? Real reality, not reality tv. While most feel we are reaching new heights in enlightenment, might we instead be playing moral limbo in an exercise to see how low we can go? I wonder.
