Feminists on the Left, Antifa ‘Black Pampers’ on the Right
There has sometimes been an anarchistic impulse in street supporters of Gender Ideology. An unholy amalgamation of Marx, Freud & Nietzsche spills out of them uncontrollably. They scream against ‘oppression’. They idolize ‘sexual desire & fulfillment.’ And they pronounce a pox on all ‘metanarratives.’
Like the one which says biology really, really matters.
Ironically they pine most aggressively for ‘inclusion’ and yet are some of the most ‘exclusive’ bloaks you’ll ever meet. Masked men in black, screaming at women face to face. Women gathered to champion Sex-Based Rights. Women who pine for female spaces where biological men with fully intact penises shouldn’t be allowed to enter.
You don’t need to always agree with Gender-Critical Feminists to defend their right to peacefully press their urgent concerns. And persuade citizens to support their cause.
An organizer of a Bristol, UK women’s gathering, Kellie-Jay Keen, (woman in green below), a so-called TERF (Trans-Exclusionary-Radical-Feminist), was confronted by a particularly uncivil anarchist.
He’s the one who called her a ‘fascist piece of sh##!’
Antifa-Anarchists are not especially known for elegant articulations. Dramatic intimidation seems better suited to push ‘dinosaurs’ like Keen toward extinction.
Bottom row of previous image was an event held a few weeks ago in Manchester, UK. One Black Pamper is seen ‘manhandling’ a feminist for daring to fly a suffragette flag in front of a statue of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.
15 May 2022 Manchester men dressed in black, wearing balaclavas surround *public* statue of beloved Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst to prevent women from gathering there to discuss WOMEN'S RIGHTS 💚🤍💜
These people advocate sterilising gender-nonconforming children, and dress like this to threaten middle aged mums who object, but tell me again how the terfs are the real fascists pic.twitter.com/HeNIRwziR5
We need more of this on public display. Less shouting, less cancelling, less intimidation. More listening to & talking with one another, even when we disagree. And continue to disagree.
As we will.
“Justice Thomas is the one justice in the building that literally knows every employee’s name, every one of them. . . . he is a man who cares deeply about the court as an institution, about the people who work there — about people.” – Justice Sotomayor pic.twitter.com/Pz4TKWeFi3
Extremists want to demonize opponents, and de-platform those who think differently instead of allowing all sides to have their say. After which, the citizens will then “vote” with their time, money, and ballot. In political terms, one side will win, and the other lose.
But there will always be another opportunity to persuade and vote your conscience.
That’s how the system works. Do today’s activists want to persuade or overpower?
Constantly demonizing and accusing your opponents (who you probably don’t know) of hate does not a civil society make.
Justice Sotomayor knows the man. And calls him a friend. Though they both have strong ideological commitments, they respect one another enough to listen, talk, and argue about important things. And still care about one another.
According to ace journalist Abigail Shrier, US Child Protective Services…
has already become thoroughly politicized and weaponized by the Left. Dozens and dozens of loving parents have told me over the last two years that CPS showed up at their homes or threatened their custody or even testified against them in court, all for the sin of failing to “affirm” their minor child’s newly-announced gender identity or vetoing the kid’s immediate medical transition.
In California, matters head from bad to worse: a new bill aspires to transform California into a “sanctuary state” for gender-swapping youth, making it possible for even a non-custodial parent to run to California to transition her child against her ex-spouse’s wishes.
Here, then, is the question: If our ultimate goal is return to a normalcy in which government agencies and corporations treat all Americans fairly regardless of viewpoint, how are we to achieve this?
She documents how the Ideologues have CANCELLED certain dissenting voices.
Will they come for you too?
Of course, for my Christian Brothers and Sisters, we must fight the way Jesus fought. Silencing, deplatforming, cancelling, shouting down our ideological opponents is not Christian. We must listen to what they have to say. And then speak the Truth as we understand it. Unfortunately, the more I study this issue and the forces in play, I’m led to the conclusion that the Gender Ideologues are not terribly interested in dialogue or viewpoint diversity. For them, this is a massive Power Play.
We critics of Gender Ideology are left to wonder: When will I swipe my credit card and find my payment’s been denied? Or attempt to rent an Airbnb, only to be told my money’s no good there either?
A final warning from a High School teacher in Texas, a gay man, about the True Believers of Gender Ideology:
This point was best put to me by a high school teacher in Texas, a gay man, regularly hounded by his school administrators to teach gender ideology to his students. Here’s the remarkable thing: he doesn’t want to, doesn’t think it’s a good use of his time, and doesn’t believe encouraging his students to obsess over their sexual orientation during class is anywhere near as helpful to high school students as the material he trained to teach them. But he also doesn’t think passing a law banning gender ideology will make the slightest difference.
"I try to tell parents, if you’re considering pulling your kids out of public school—do—because you can go to as many school board meetings as you want and complain. There’s still going to be people who are going to teach whatever they want."
To my liberal readers (you know who you are) please read this comment to Shrier’s piece:
ClemenceDane I am a traditional Liberal (I guess you could call me a “1990s and earlier Liberal”) and yes, I greatly object to censorship, delisting, canceling, disinviting, removal from Amazon (and eBay and Target and Powells and Barnes and Noble etc.) of any book. I don’t want to read a Pro-Life book, but I don’t want it removed or censored. I’m still waiting for second hand copies of those “banned” Dr. Seuss books to come down low enough in price that I can afford a copy of McElligot’s Pool, my favorite Seuss book of childhood. It’s appalling that his works were removed from Amazon and libraries. It’s also appalling that the American Library Association removed Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name from the award created in her honor because a bunch of 2 dimensional thinkers screamed at them about her depictions of white settlers who were anti-Native American. Never mind that one of the women in question had seen her entire family massacred by Native Americans. Never mind that Wilder goes out of her way to show that the characters who are critical of Native Americans are less noble and tolerant than her own family, who actually hide a Native American man in their cabin when a gang of armed white men comes after him. It calls into question the integrity and legitimacy of every award they give out, including the Newberry Award. I will always support Classical Liberal values like free speech, free thought, free expression, open debate, a free press, etc. I also don’t think it is “liberal” to expose young children to drag queens. Or to free violent felons from prisons and defund the police. What on earth is Liberal about that? These are radical anarchic Leftists.
