Welcome to a new era in
history. Yes, you are a party to great
moments in recorded time of which you can tell your grandkids you witnessed
with pride.
Indeed, things are changing in
this world, and not the least are ways to create inroads to other ideas and
tolerance connected therewith.
If you guessed I am referring to
transgender policies, you are correct. A
gold star for you.
So it was with immense pride that
I read even carved-in-stone institutions in America are thankfully changing
their archaic tunes.
National Geographic Magazine, the
yellow-faced soft publication that was delivered to countless homes for
decades, just made a statement to the entire world.
NatGeo used to bring far away
places and previously unknown lands and cultures to subscriber’s living rooms,
each month.
I recall reading about Jacques
Cousteau exploring the depths of the world’s oceans, and the latest dinosaur
bones being unearthed long ways away.
Foreign ancient tribes, as well as European cultures and traditions,
also dotted the glossy pages of text and superb photos germane to the subject
at hand.
The really good news, however, is
that NatGeo is featuring a nine-year old transgender – uh – kid dressed as a
girl. He, she, or he-she? “It” is most appropriate.
This exciting breakthrough
captured my attention because I couldn’t believe America ’s constant was going to
stoop to the lows of Weekly World News sensationalism. Exploitation of such behavior belongs in a
carnival side show, not a revered publication.
A cover shot of this genius issue
features a boy dressed as a girl, lounging across its declaration that this
he-she is part of the “gender revolution.”
I was agog to see how this was as
important to me, and how it was more important than Kenya ’s Bantu tribes and the Great
Pyramids of Giza.
Here we have a boy-child dressing
as a girl-child. Normally we would call
that Halloween. Older versions of that
same theme would be called a frat party.
But now, we have boy-child that wants to be a girl. Today, that is.
Of course, the elite and
open-minded among us feel this behavior is avant
guard. On the other hand, to the
remainder of sane Americans, this is just plain freaky.
For the record, a child cannot
drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, enlist in the military, drive a motor vehicle,
use a credit card, gamble, sit on a jury, get a job, quit school, marry, or
possess a handgun, because of legal restrictions.
In other words, there are certain
things these young pukes cannot involve themselves because they simply lack the
mental capacity. Even a great majority
of the adult population should be restricted to most of the above activities;
unfortunately, their age is equated with their mental capacity, and it shouldn’t
be.
Nine-year old transgendered youth
do not have the mental capacity to make a decision about their sex anymore than
which Smith & Wesson handgun to buy.
Unfortunately, mothers and
fathers have learned to parent from television, and clearly do not know how to
inflect society’s norms to their progeny.
Perhaps NatGeo’s topic next month
should be sexual differences in public restrooms. I’m just saying.
