CPAC Speaker Calls for "Transgenderism" To Be Eradicated

I read that on another site a bit ago.  I won't say here what my first impulse was, but the 2 x 4 is still out in the garage.

CPAC is all lights and show, with no substance.  An echo chamber.  It stopped mattering when many, many people wanted Ron Paul but got Romney on the ballot instead.  And hopefully fewer people will listen or approve after this.  

 

Not sure who this Michael Knowles character is, but it sounds like he's a real prize.  I haven't totally accepted the concept of "trans genocide," but when people start using words like "eradication" it definitely begins to sound believably genocide-y to me. 😧

He's an actor whose biggest claim to fame is a role in the movie Hollyweird. He's also a commentator on The Daily Wire. He also "wrote" a book called "Reasons to Vote For Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide." It consisted of 256 blank pages and a bibliography. Sarcasm Alert-- I think his book content may very well speak for itself regarding his intellectual prowess and critical thinking ability...

I saw clips of his talk.

I don't see how "transgenderism must be eradicated" can be interpreted other than as calling for "genocide".   Saying "there can’t be a genocide” of trans people because, [as] he claimed, “Transgender people is not a real ontological category” is absurd.

It's okay to kill us off since we're not real people.

This stuff is getting scary.

They manufacture the belief that transgender people are not real by referring to us as an "ism" rather than a people.

Exactly. These Republicans are openly anti-American and anti-Christian. Our country is based on; "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," So believed our founders and Jesus Christ. They are traitors to say that.

@Ivy  "Ontological" category.  I actually had to look that word up, and I wonder what percentage of this guy's audience even knows.   But I think you're right - he's meaning that somehow we aren't real people.  Like, did I wake up this morning and pass through the walls because I don't really exist?  🙄 

 

On the bright side, I suppose that if I don't really exist then I don't have to pay my taxes....

Even after the US entered World War II, the government did not make the rescue of Jews a major war aim."

I recently watched a documentary on this.  FDR and Co. were afraid they would lose support for the war if they made it about helping Jewish people.  They downplayed the holocaust until they just couldn't anymore.  Hate is a remarkable thing.

 

I read some comments on a stream about the film clip.  Most of them agreed with Michael Knowles.  They seemed to think that we would all just see reason, get cured, and go back to being cis-het.  I guess because being transgender isn't real anyway and we will accept that.

That sounds like a great bill Davie.  All this right wing hate provocation is most likely seen by the majority for what it is.

Unfortunately the majority doesn't control the outcome of the elections.

In his mind, he doesn't see being transgender as biological.  He specifically stated that.  (And misguided trans activists, particularly in the UK, share the blame for promoting that view.)  So he isn't calling for killing us, just for brainwashing us.  Not extermination camps, but massive conversion therapy or re-education camps.  Like that makes it any better.

My extended vocabulary, which I hope I use wisely here, puts me in mind of his being PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL and so full of himself that a Caterpillar 20 ton skip bucket cannot move him. Stuck up <bleep bleep>

@VickySGV  "Pseudo-intellectual" is a good description.  I mean, unless one is a philosophy professor, I can't imagine average folks using "ontological" in a sentence in day to day life.  Yet, he can't seem to figure out how "eradicate" and "genocide" can be related....something average middle school kids would know.  Big words don't make a person smart.

I grew up in a household of pseudo-intellectuals; both of my parents were and my brothers became the same way. Mr. Knowles certainly appears to cast in the same mold. While many professions have specialized vocabularies, truly intelligent people realize that their professional vocabulary has little to no place in everyday speech. 

 

Vicky, you are spot on for calling this person out on it!

More of the same B.S.  All the speakers were competing to see who could be the biggest H8er of trans people.

I agree, Carolyn Marie. Their smug faces when spewing such idiocy says it all. I sometimes wonder how atrocities like what happened during WWII could have ever happened. What mindset could lead to such a thing? Well, I think we finally have our answer.

I see a parallel between what happened during WW II and what is happening now. The vast majority of Germans were not members of the unhealthy politics party, and did not actively share the beliefs of their leadership.  But they stood around and let it happen.  Apathy, I guess.  

 

In the same way, I know that the vast majority of people living around me in my red state don't share the anti-trans views of those seeking political power in their name.  But most don't care enough to say anything against it.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

If being transgender is not a real thing, and we are all just deluded or pretending, what problem does that actually cause?  Is a man dressing as a woman any worse than a man dressing as a comic book character or Mickey Mouse?  

 

I may be missing the point, but I can't see what the massive threat to society is.

I didn't mean that these people are not a threat to us.  I meant that I can't understand why they think that we are a threat to them.

These CPAC Republicans just do not have the mental, emotional, or psychological capacity to understand what we go through. They have no empathy.

 

The problem isn't that they believe that crap.  The problem is that good people do not speak up.  Where are the doctors, the psychologists, the researchers, all of whom know better? 

 

Ordinary people will listen to both sides of an issue and make a choice about who is right.  On average, they will assess reality as being somewhere between the two positions.  But when they only hear the nutjobs, they will assess reality as being halfway between the idiocy and ... nothing.  So they might not believe everything the nuts say, but they will believe "idiocy lite".

 

The media are complicit in this.  The cover the squeaky wheel, which is them.  Even when they cover both sides of a story, they treat both sides as though they had equal merit, which is not the case here.  Giving equal coverage to both sides of an issue is inherently biased in favour of the side with less merit.  We need to light a fire under our allies so they stand up and present a stronger case than the haters.

Very good points Kathy! I do not know what the pain point will be for others to speak out about the manner and style we are being treated.

 

This is the thing.  Here in flyover country, people have talked about revolution and secession for most of my life.  But it hasn't happened yet.  My county and a couple others came close to declaring an independent economic zone in 2020, and we significantly developed our own infrastructure toward that goal...but that was because food supplies, employment, local autonomy, etc. were being severely threatened by both the state government and the feds.  Not to mention the civil unrest and other disruption.  

 

By bringing up that example, I mean to illustrate that the pain point is pretty severe for people to get out and do anything.  It would take hunger, even higher prices than what we see now, large scale unemployment, or laws so onerous that everybody is a target.  Since trans people are a very small minority, I'm not sure that there will be enough disruption to the average person's life for them to overcome inertia/apathy.

First - This is undeniably a genocide, and it has been for a while. If you want to see my reasoning, I made a long post on the topic here.

 

Second - The use of "transgenderism" mirrors a lot of unhealthy politics propaganda back in pre-WWII Germany, where the propaganda would usually say "Judaism" rather than "the Jews". At this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that the republican party is the modern unhealthy politics party.

 

Anyone who wants to say, "it's just a small portion of uninfluential pundits, the party itself is not as aggressive", a response I got a lot while discussing the issue, is willfully ignorant. This is CPAC, the largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world. Trans genocide is no longer a radicalization fear tactic used by the most radical conservative pundits, it's the party line, the bedrock of modern conservative ideology.

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles?

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.
