I have to admit, I haven’t been taking “pride month” very well. First of all, June is also PTSD Awareness Month and yet none of our governmental agencies, the White House, and no corporations have been spending millions of dollars promoting said awareness.
Imagine that.
Then there is the immense sadness that’s been ignored in the race to see how much “pride” people can generate for it’s own sake.
A teenage girl committed suicide, not because her trans identity was not affirmed, but because she was coerced into “affirming” an identity she that wasn’t truly hers and yet was not offered a way back by the “activists” involved.
This isn’t an isolated incident either, as this story about a lawsuit being filed against a healthcare provider regarding childhood medical transitioning that should never have happened.
There’s also an extreme example of child neglect at a drag party involving drugs and sex toys.
One of the saddest stories involves a “trans success tale” with this particular “actor”. Not the only story of this kind. Transitioning can even be medically deadly.
Okay, maybe the majority of the LGBTQ etc community isn’t involved in any of this, but they sure aren’t condemning such behavior either.
I could go on and on citing nearly endless examples of how pride month is anything but “family friendly” but I’m sure you can find those examples yourself.
Imagine what will happen in California when what I wrote about here becomes a law.
But people are fighting back. They are unpopular fights. The people resisting are often labeled “something-phobic” or just plain “bigots.” But since when did parents become enemies of the state when they chose to defend their children.
From high school girls to large groups of parents to professional athletes, see see story after story of how the relentless push to transition young people or to force trans woman into spaces long held by those people who were born female is not benign.
And now the demand is that men are no longer allowed to define themselves.
It started with Elon Musk’s response to James Esses on twitter when Esses was criticized for NOT using the term “cis” in describing himself.
A little background. There actually is a difference between the terms.
A cisgender, or “cis,” person identifies as the gender they were assigned at birth. So a cisgender person’s sex on their original birth certificate matches their current gender identity.
Versus
Identifying as straight is pretty, er, straightforward. Having a sexual orientation of straight means that someone’s attraction, either sexual or romantic, is to a gender other than their own.
“Non-trans” people are being “encouraged” (if not forced) to call ourselves “Cis” for a number of reasons including that it’s scientific.
Digging down, even on “trans” sites, Cis exists as a counterpoint to Trans.
The word cis exists to fill a gap that would otherwise exist in language, and that has previously been filled with words like ‘normal’ or ‘regular’, which position trans people as ‘abnormal’ or ‘irregular’ as a result. While cis people are more common, normal can have a connotation of denigrating trans people. Having a specific word means that our language is not only specific, but value neutral, and doesn’t paint cis or trans people as better or worse as a result.
It’s difficult to get consistent data, but the fact remains overall that “cisgender-heterosexual” people make up the vast, vast, vast majority of the world’s population.
In other words, “heteronormative” is normal. I know that sounds harsh but the LGBTQ etc groups want to set aside the majority of the people of the Earth.
So I asserted myself and got clobbered and called a bigot because I said I preferred to be called “straight” instead of “cis.” My point is that I and only I should have the right to identify myself.
No one was interested in that. Although they wouldn’t say the quiet part out loud, it is apparent that they really want me to call myself “Cis” because it serves their interests and needs. Put another way, these individuals and groups MUST control the label for my sexual and gender identity to make themselves feel better. Otherwise, it’s bigoted, wrong, nasty, unfair, and so on. I preserved the screenshots at the top but you can see the individual tweets:
It hasn’t ended and it won’t until I either mute the conversations or block the people in question. They really need me to comply.
No one wins the social media battle. We just bang heads until either folks run out of steam or are ignored one way or another.
I’m losing my focus. This used to be a blog about a human being’s relationship with the Almighty and with other people of faith. Now the world seems to be taking over. That’s usually a sign that I need to spend more time in the Bible and less time on social media.
This might be a good jumping off point to engage the traditional audience for this blog about their battles with the secular world vs remaining grounded in the world of faith, scripture, and holiness.
Morning Meditations 
I’m sick of needing a label for any reason. I am a person of the human race. That’s all anyone but my friends need to know. And that is all our children need to be taught, other than the basics of biology. We are Male or Female biologically. That is factual information.
Gender politics are about preferences, not physical facts, and we need to talk about that reality, for pushing acceptance of what a few want when the majority dont want it is heading in a dangerous direction.
Let me begin this reply with an encouragement to hang in there, James, and resist discouragement. The G-d Who created the heavens and the earth is the Judge of all the earth, and His Judgment appears closer every day. But first wickedness must be given every opportunity to display itself, and witnesses for righteousness must testify for contrast, so that those enmeshed in the web of lies may compare the outcomes and choose where they wish to stand.
And let us be clear: the LeGaBiTIQ worldview is shameful — not a subject for pride or self-esteem. It is a direct rebellion against Him Who created only two genders, male and female, as detectable even on the cellular level, and preserved them reproductively for thousands of years. Historically, societies that tolerated or embraced deviation from this pattern destroyed themselves. It seems they could not reproduce their lifestyle even as they rejected the physical reproduction of their species.
Let us re-emphasize that humanity’s survival is never more than a generation away from its end, even if it might require more than one prior generation to die off along the way. Those who do not respect, honor, and comply with the normative human sexuality that reproduces the species generation after generation are misanthropic in the most literal and lethal sense.
Therefore, even if it means that upright, as distinct from “straight”, pro-anthropic people must “circle the wagons” and hope for the cavalry to arrive, we know that the attack cannot continue unending. We know that we can fight back. We know that we outnumber the deviants despite their present momentary control of the microphones and the media. We should not be afraid to call them what they are even while vilified for it. Only thus is there any hope of reversing the damage and staving off ultimate Judgment and vast destruction.
Only thus is there even any hope that disphorics might receive psychological treatment and reorientation to rewrite the flaws in their mental programming, rather than subjecting them to physical surgeries and chemical castration and all manner of extensive external modification. Recognize that their problems begin inside their heads. Treat that malady, and the rest will be unnecessary. And, it will not inflict itself on society at large, which could be quite content in its normative majority. Trying to normalize the abnormal LeGaBiTIQs merely inflicts their disphoric pain on everyone else.
At some point ‘they’ are given over to a reprobate mind. You absolutely can’t reason with them. The lesson of Sodom and Gomorrah is in the Bible for a reason. Although Lot sat in the gate (one with authority) that meant nothing to the reprobates and the angels had to intervene. Reprobates are in highplaces in the USA and will bring destruction to this nation, except we have a minyan. Are you familiar with MKultra? Sadly, that is what the entertainment and education industry is doing to the children. Cry for the children. Their brains are being ‘wired’. It takes a two parent income to raise a family, sadly, by design. It is most certainly satanic and a destruction of the family. Satan/devil is a most intolerant being which is displayed by the LGBT….possessed people. At some point, as collective, those that fear G-d must cry out, “Let my people go!” Be Holy for I am Holy saith the Lord! The lines are drawn. Choose you this day whom you will serve. Gloom and doom, you say? No, just reality. It has always been this way but was well hidden. As the L-rd said, “I set before you blessing and cursing, life and death, choose LIFE! For those that have ears to hear to be reconciled to G-d, give an answer for the hope that is in you, that they might be taken out of the kingdom of darkness and put into the Kingdom of His dear Son, the Word made flesh, King of Kings, and L-rd of lords, amen!
There was a Twitter poster cited above, by the name James Esses, who objected to being called a “cissy”. Now, I appreciate what appears to me a fine sense of humor to recognize the homonyms “cissy” and “sissy”. They sound alike, and one might argue that any male who accepts such a gender label has effectively ratified the other as well. I have a mental image of a swaggering John Wayne laconically saying “Don’t you ever call *me* a …”. Of course, with a slur like this one the fool who said it would likely have been already punched in the mouth.
Nonetheless, labels primarily serve to shut down any possibility of discussion. They place the issue into its neatly labeled box, shut the lid, and place it on some shelf in the back of a mental closet with a feeling that now there is no further need to give it a second’s thought. It takes real effort to induce someone then to take it out, dust it off, and look at it thoughtfully. And then, heaven forfend if someone should have to admit that they were wrong in some way. They’d be hurt. We’d be guilty of making them feel badly. Poor them. Bad us.
Meanwhile, atrocities continue to be committed under false misanthropic thinking, with no one to challenge them lest someone’s feelings get hurt.
This might be a good jumping off point to engage the traditional audience for this blog about their battles with the secular world vs remaining grounded in the world of faith, scripture, and holiness.
Frustratingly, regular old sins are still in play. I took my (straight, cis, adulterous, racist, vain, dishonest, and greedy) mom to her church, and the homily was to ignore what other people think or say to or of you and go ahead and do what you were going to do. What does Mom want to do? Cooperate with people who promise her winnings and cars, not pay her bills and workmen, and slander and threaten (and bear false witness against) people who offers actual constructive behavior (plus make up false and contradictory stories about my dearly departed dad). Oh, and focus on looks like that is the measure of morality. I’ve left some out, as it’s all boring (but you get the idea). Yet she plays the religious card; sickening.
I told her, last night, that if she had ever been serious about a supposed Christian faith she would know that slander is evil. But it’s all pretense. [And, of course, she joined the “Church” after the child abuse is very public and after she’s beyond the years where she insisted with any relevance that no one can tell her she can’t use birth control.]
As for the topic brought up in your opening post, I ran across someone online trying to explain that cis is a scientific word, a day or two ago. It wasn’t making sense. Do people know what science is, actually? It’s an okay word, to me. But I can understand if you don’t want it used to describe yourself. I’ve never used it, about anyone (before, moments ago, what you see in my previous paragraph). I explained it a couple months ago when I saw a vanity plate while in a car with someone on our way somewhere. He’s a Democrat and had never heard of the concept. One of my sons (who has also been a Democrat but not a standard one) is annoyed by the whole castration aspect of things. I told him that my experience is most Democrats aren’t really on board and that you just have to say what you think (without being hateful). I don’t mean yell out the window, for example, at someone with such a plate. Democrats are in danger of losing the next election over the subject matter and more. But I think their actual operatives are more interested in crony capitalism and won’t really mind if we get more Republicans in power.
It’s true that things are getting worse. I haven’t decided if I’m voting. What I got out of the homily is that the meaning about a little bird falling to the earth isn’t about dying but about everything you do, like a bird landing and moving about. That’s what this new guy said.
Matthew 10:29-31
Thank you all for your support. I was having a rather bad time but have managed to resurface with this: https://mymorningmeditations.com/2023/07/01/what-about-websites-wedding-cakes-and-gay-customers/
