All right, let’s do this as painlessly as possible. I’ve already addressed it, ad nauseum, but stemming the tide of what, rationally, is #1,122,330 on your “things to love” list never ends. Warning: if your “safe-zone” precludes discussions of moonbattery and cultural Hiroshima, you may want to paint your pinkies instead.
From Facebook, cogito ergo doleo:
1) The Bruce Jenner story is an American tragedy. On a personal level, a mentally ill man, encouraged to mutilate himself pharmaceutically and surgically, has turned himself into a monster, while doing NOTHING to address his condition, get well, or salve his pain. Horrific on its own—but then we look nationally and behold a farce. In “Caitlyn” Jenner, personal illness collides with cultural illness, one feeding off the other, until illness, depravity, and courage are redefined. To call Jenner’s action “brave” is sick…. To cheer is CRAZY.
Yet, indeed, this has happened—Americans are praising illness, ignoring its consequences, and doing so not out of empathy, but to make themselves, as a group, “feel good.”
2) Bruce Jenner is not a woman, BRUCE Jenner is a man…. And this MAN has a mental disease, the depth of which becomes more profound when people applaud rather than advise and urge treatment.
3) The celebration of gender “fluidity” is part of a greater attack on sexual, familial, and behavioral norms. Transgenderism, a branch of the LGBT movement, is designed not to “celebrate diversity” but to create special “rights.” Those who criticize self-mutilation, hormone castration, and psycho-fantasy, must be silenced…. That’s the goal—SILENCE. All must comply with and affirm Sexual Gods.
4) This particular choice – transgenderism – wouldn’t be available were it not for immoral practitioners who make money off it. It should not be available, yet it is and, as such, is ethically obscene, scientifically perverse, and a dereliction of the vow to “do no harm.”
5) “Sex change’ is biologically impossible. People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become ‘feminized men’ or ‘masculinized women.’ Claiming that this is a ‘civil rights’ matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.”
Dr. Paul R. McHugh, Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University
6) The suicide rate among transgendered people who have reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh notes studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic in which children who express transgender feelings spontaneously lose those feelings 70-80% of the time.

There’s more, but you get the point. Bruce, who stands to make make $500 M large (endorsements, speeches, a sick-and-wrong tv show) epitomizes the woebegone-LOOK-AT-ME narcissist. He’s 65, weird, and male. Which is fine—if he wants to trash himself, charlatans notwithstanding, great.… Of larger concern are the fascists, the Thought Cops and Mind Nazis, who stymie discourse and ravage dialogue. The Left’s need to affirm itself – and be affirmed – invokes scripture.
Isaiah 5:20 — Woe to they who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Interesting. Isaiah wrote that centuries before Christ. He understood human nature. And perhaps more than anything, he saw, through the ages, that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
