This is the clincher, really. “You’re non-binary. Loads of kids will see you and want to be like you…” And there we have it. This is how it works. Kids emulate & idolise famous entertainers. They copy. They ape. They repeat. They want to be like them. They want to be them. They hear a word, a phrase. They think it’s cool. They then adopt that word. Why? It makes them stand out, feel special, unique, part of something. Gives them a recognisable identity. Yup. All fine & dandy. Punk, Goth, Rockers, Mods, Hippies etc. All based around how one looked & behaved. We all had our gang, our club. It’s normal as a youngster. Perfectly normal. Except this is not what non-binaries are doing. They are teaching kids that it not only gives you power & a victim-status over others, it allows then to take imaginary shelter under the unnecessary & superfluous ‘trans/que*r umbrella’. Protection from what??? Clothes? Make-up? Earrings?? Nobody cares. NOBODY. These hundreds of new ‘genders’ have hitched a unwarranted, unwanted ride onto the gay movement’s backs, men & women, who went through absolute f***king HELL to get to where we were just 10 years ago. These “que*r identifying straight folx”, who insist & demand they are part of a persecuted group are a f***ing insult & a slap in the face to those who, slowly & painfully, rolled out the velvet carpet, many decades before them, under VERY REAL DANGER & HATRED, for these vapid, entitled, insta-victim narcissists. “Oh leave them alone! It doesn’t harm anyone else? Why are you so offended by it?” Because it’s all based on a lie. On a grift. On a fantasy. It HARMS women, gay people, transsexuals. People who’ve really had to struggle, suffer & endure true marginalisation. It matters. IT MATTERS A GREAT DEAL. If one criticises Miss Thug’s behaviour, say, it gives one license to brand others as ‘bigots’. This is a very slippery slope. It’s a very sneaky way , carefully fed to kids in schools, on social media, by lobby groups, by charities, by governments of slowly breaking down women’s ability to draw boundaries & defend their privacy, their sports, their dignity by smashing down the barriers & the social contract between men & women. It totally undermines gay people who are tethered to the alphabet spaghetti Q+ mess, whether they like it or not. We’ve worked for years for mutual respect, equality & understanding. And it’s utterly galling to see all that gruelling work thrown away by a fledgling, false but deeply imbedded, ideology. A cow has very little to worry about if it wanders into a vegan restaurant, stuffed with hungry diners. God help the poor moo if it haplessly wanders into a steakhouse….
