A Pro-Trans Cartoon That Says Everything
Thought control and authoritarianism is not progressive or tolerant.
The above cartoon encapsulates everything that is terrifying and wrong with trans activism while trying to be pro-trans. No civil rights movement has ever amassed so much power so quickly as to be able to get millions of people to reject reality but also reject anyone who doesn’t reject reality. This isn’t progress. It isn’t tolerant. It is authoritarian control.
Nobody has ever been “against trans existence” because trans is an abstract, self-adopted category that has no meaning. Such manipulative hyperbole manages to be juvenile yet exceptionally effective.
In contrast, the late Pope Francis did not agree with homosexuality and he certainly did not agree with the extreme body mutilation that is at the core of the transhumanist movement of which gender ideology is a part. However, he encouraged his flock to treat all their fellow humans with dignity and respect. He met with, spoke to and listened to those with whom he did not agree. He didn’t shut doors, he opened them.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with his morality or theology, he gave the world that.
As a person in West Philly, I'm always concerned I'm going to have to explain the difference to someone between being critical of something trans and hating trans people. So far, I've avoided confrontations.
