There is an old Cary Grant film I remember called “Arsenic and Old Lace” where there is a character who looks like, and believes he is, Theodore Roosevelt. Every time he goes up the stairs of the house, he shouts “CHARGE!” like he is leading the army at the battle of San Juan Hill. Everyone refers to him as “Mr. President” and they play along with his delusions because they all know he is crazy.
I am mentioning this because it seems to me the West is duplicating the same sort of scenario. They are all agreeing to play along with the most farcical of delusions; declaring that imagination and fantasy trump actual reality.
They have reached a new peak in this psychosis with the issue of gender. They are saying now that gender is not determined by biology or anatomy, but by psychology; by feeling. If a man feels that he is a woman, then he is a woman, and he should be treated as a woman, referred to as a woman, and even be allowed to use women’s public restrooms; regardless of the fact that he was born with male reproductive organs. His being biologically and anatomically male, they say, is irrelevant to determining his gender; what matters is how he feels…what gender he identifies with psychologically. This is exactly like saying that a crazy person who feels he is Teddy Roosevelt, should be treated as Teddy Roosevelt, and referred to as the 26th President of the United States. It is the legitimization of insanity.
I mean, when a pregnant mother goes for an ultrasound now, is the doctor going to be circumspect about informing her of the sex of the baby? “The fetus appears to have male private parts, but, of course, we won’t actually know the gender until the child grows up and can make that decision for himself or herself”…?
What else then? If biology and anatomy are irrelevant to determining gender, shouldn’t money be irrelevant to determining class status? If you feel wealthy, shouldn’t you be able to sit in the first class section on a flight? Is ancestry and pigment irrelevant to determining whether you are white or black? Is the presence or absence of the sun not going to be the determining factor in whether it is day or night? Wallahi, they have lost their minds. And if you identify insanity as insanity, you are a hateful bigot.
Can you imagine what this is doing to the collective mind of the society?
