Gender Studies I

[Kepler]

Bill Maher is a moron.

The chart of increasing identification plots the reduction of fear. It was always this way, people just used to be terrified of theocratic imprisonment or murder.

Also loved he elides "identifies as LGBT" with "transitioning your middle school child."

We need good Doctors working and speaking on this topic and ONLY good Doctors. Let's get Bill and JK out of it. They don't belong in it. Everything is a spectrum. Let's acknowledge that and move on.

That would be well and good, but remember Americans heard "we don't need no education, we don't need no thought control" and went "OKAY, GREAT!"

88% male identified.

I'm sure there are better tests. As I was walking down to breakfast this morning, I was thinking, "Why force people to identify at all? Much like race, this is a social construct, so let's just make sure everyone along the spectrum is treated respectfully and equally, the law does not discriminate against any portion of the spectrum, and we take positive action to redress social biases where they exist." Then I had eggs.

There are plenty of people whose race is indeterminate. We don't interrogate them.

OK, so, now take the test and interrogate yourself!

82% Gender neutral

Not a lot of questions on that test... but I agree with the results. I often tell people, "I accept that my body is female, but I don't like it. I'm just a person, please don't place your gender stereotypes on me".

For all the Conservative talk of 'groomers' let's talk about the binary genders being the real grooming. Our society grooms people to identify as female or male. We start young. My brother found a cute Paw Patrol birthday card for my 3 year old, but had to cross out the word 'boy' on it. Why, why, why, why do people feel the need to gender items for a toddler?

With no better place to put this, sometimes the headlines write themselves:

Conservatives still have one joke.

TIL Billie Jean King was listed in the Wimbledon honors section as "Mrs. L.W. King" due to antiquated rules. The club changed it to her actual name like a couple days ago.

Ok, now I feel dumb. I didn't know that's where "King" came from. TIL

Brilliant. As always.

Pride Month.

As much as I want to turn this into Wrath Month, being I figure aggressively celebrating being authentic will hurt the "Don't Say Gay" morons more than swing in my fists.
