The trans movement hasn’t taken us to this absurdity. This article is about one wacky individual who the article author specifically says is disgracing the trans/gender-rights cause.
People have feared criticizing because they don’t want to be called “transphobic.”
The “trans movement” is all about normalizing a metal illness.
Yes. Nutcases who want access to other people’s children.
Call me a “transphobe”, I don’t care. People who claim not to be the sex that their chromosomes dictate are messed up in the head. Their problems are between their ears, not between their legs.
Yes, and they admit that. Then, where things go off the rails is that they claim–unlike for every single other psychiatric disorder–the solution is to lean into the delusion. It’s like telling someone with Body Integrity Identity Disorder that they should go ahead and cut off that leg they feel isn’t part of them.
Or that the voices in your head (or the ones coming from your neighbor’s demon possessed dog, Sam) need to be heeded.
Then, where things go off the rails is that they claim–unlike for every single other psychiatric disorder–the solution is to lean into the delusion.
If the delusion is innocuous for the person’s circumstances, then the default action is to not fight it. For example, if someone believes the world is flat, and well, they aren’t doing anything where the roundness of the world matters, then it doesn’t make much sense to cure their delusion.
Now, I’d they’re a science teacher or building a global communication system, it’s another story.
Agreed, they need counseling, not affirmation.
And if that fails, institutionalization.
“The Brood” (1979) written & directed by David Cronenberg.
Seeing your headline, I wondered whether you were referring to the tranny teacher or the Prime Minister.
Yes.
That makes three of us.
Embrace the power of “and”.
Embrace the healing power of ‘and’.
“I would say it fairly applies to anyone who thinks that a trans person shouldn’t be allowed to work as an educator. Around the world, there are untold thousands of transgender teachers who exhibit the same standards of care and professionalism as their non-trans peers.”
There are a lot of gay/straight/bi/trans teachers grooming kids. That stuff doesn’t belong in school and the government shouldn’t be forcing kids into Progressive Marxist gender theories.
“It’s important to emphasize that there is absolutely no allegation whatsoever that Lemieux is any kind of criminal…
Oh, YEAH? This statement appears right above a photo of Lemieux, in which “her” mask is worn not covering “her” nose! In these days of modern times, is there any more heinous crime?
I prefer to call them an “it”.
My initial reaction was, “Damn! There are still high school shop classes in Canada?”
I once worked for a company where the front desk was occupied by a woman with tits like that. I think each of her asscheeks outweighed me.
That mental trauma might explain some of your writing! :p
(I’ve got several of your works.)
There’s an entire industry devoted to psychoanalyzing authors based on the content of their works, supporting a big segment of non-STEM academia. There’d be many PhDs in my work, if anyone actually cared. But they don’t. Probably just as well. My Dad loved my books and stories and thought I was amusingly filthy.
I’ve read many disclaimers from authors saying that they are not their characters. No problemo, I get it.
If you want to see what happens when “I am my characters” is true, read “Moments of Inertia.” If if you must, anything by Hemingway. If I had to pick one of my characters to be, it’d be Wolf O’Malley from “White Light.” Not a nice man, some say, but a better man than most.
Maybe, just maybe, things aren’t what they seem in this case.

“There’s an entire industry devoted to psychoanalyzing authors based on the content of their works, supporting a big segment of non-STEM academia.”
Larry Niven has a name for people who think the authors are their characters. Idiots.
And yet he wrote “Inconstant Moon.” Asimov had an anecdote about trying to tell some metacritic he had everything wrong about a story. The guy replies, “So you wrote this story? What makes you think you know what it’s about?”
I really hope he’s trolling the school board and administration.
The issue for me is that somebody apparently manufactures whatever it is he’s wearing. This means that there must be a sizeable number of people willing to pay to look that way. Probably a quite a bit. Once again I find that I must have lived a very sheltered life. I’m neither brave nor strong stomached enough to try a search.
He’s a shop teacher. Shop teachers make things.
There’s an entire industry devoted to just such things, primarily as movie props, a la “Alien Autopsy.” The guy who created the RealDoll did that for a living, before realizing there’d be big money in a movie prop you could fuck. It’s not up to the standard of a gynoid robot or a female slave, but it would probably do in a pinch.
