THIS IS NOT CRAZINESS, IT’S PART OF THE PLAN

Note that she has absolutely no proof for her absurd assertions.

Key excerpts from The 45 Declared Goals of the 1963 American Communist Party:
  • Eliminate all laws governing obscenity.
  • Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity.
  • Present homosexuality [and transgenderism], degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
  • Get control of the schools.  Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
  • Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
  • Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
  • Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control.
  • Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

Did the Beatles misgender the Nowhere Man? Perhaps Dr. McGregor could tell us.

Either way, he/she/it is the ideal product of progressive education. How did the Fab Four know? Must be the LSD.

The Nowhere Man's full name is Jeremy Hillary Boob, which tends to indicate a male (he IS—after all—The Nowhere MAN)

It's a safe bet that "Doctor" McGregor's professional opinion on the matter is worthless because he/she/it subscribes to the wildly unscientific fantasy that babies in the womb can know what their gender is, and the absurdly unscientific conviction that there are more than two genders.

Note: there are more than two genders, but only in liguistics: masculine, feminine and neuter, which is why language must be rehabilitated (eg; Latinx instead of Latino or Latina).

Don't start me on grammatical genders. They exist in all European languages except English. Old English had them, too, but lost them over the centuries.

Perhaps our betters in the academe think we can lose biological genders the same way.

Well, some of them at least. The others have a clear understanding that the issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.

Members of the académie are always in a subjunctive mood.

Maya, my three-year-old niece (once removed), loves dinosaurs and likes to refer to herself as a Mayasaur.

Of course since we are all born tabula rasa it goes without mentioning that she would know nothing of dinosaurs without having learned of such things. She wouldn’t have even started pretending to be a Mayasaur without her father’s teasing.

This so-called psychologist is proposing not simply that babies in the womb know their gender or sex or whatever, she is advancing the idea that we are created with innate ideas and in fact a very sophisticated level of abstract ideas.

It’s the kind of philosophy that seeks knowledge with the idea that epistemology consists of discovering the innate ideas buried inside you by some means and would tend to be the basis of a Rousseauian politics in that innate knowledge would be general to all humanity and would be a political “general will” of Roussarian fame. Her basic idea (and I suspect she is a conscious Roussarian) would lead to a dictator imposing “virtue” on everyone else by means of terror, as adhering to the general (innate) will as opposed to your particular will will set you free. Your particular will alienates you from your very humanity. Only a society that adheres to the innate general will is human, virtuous and therefor free.

All that from the idea we are born with innate ideas.

This may sound far-fetched and far-afield but I don’t think so. Basic ideas about the nature of Man and our relationship with reality lead to certain political outcomes.

Yes, and not far-fetched and certainly not far-afield, as this dictatorship of “virtue” terror, is this lowly jackalope’s last decades since giving up improving middle school remedial reading student’s reading comprehension, for Lent. No sir, $$, not far-fetched at all! We mojo’d over that reality leads to certain outcomes speed bump, along with the national debt a long time ago. Uvalde was a tax $$ funded, job creating dynamo, to prevent what happened, from happening. Reality.
