I write (type) this as a follow-up to a couple of “trans” pieces I’ve read recently – including TH’s excellent post on Bill Maher’s criticism of the scum.
I state now I’m very seriously opposed to the current “trans” and pro-”Trans” scum now leading comment (but, I hope, not support) for paedophilia and child butchery.
Oh, and I have been “straight” for 70 years and don’t, at the moment, anticipate a change.
Over the years in a lifetime misspent I’ve known a few transsexual people, most of them male.
With one exception the males were straight males, most of whom were moving alongside the gay community because that community was the only place that would accept them.
When working the nights in the industry I worked for many years, you found that the “Trannies” were the most dangerous and the most trustworthy of the people you would meet.
Never cross a tranny (most were bigger and nastier than you) but treat them honestly and fairly and they would do the same for you.
I suspect (read “know”) most would be horrified at being identified as one of the utter scum now calling themselves “Trans”).
Many of those I knew were fathers, loving fathers, who would no more harm a child as you would – they simply wanted to dress/act differently.
Even the prostitutes, hardened by their work, were often real men when “off duty”, cheering their kids on on sports day, having a beer with their mates etc.
The slime have now destroyed that.
Now a “tranny” is a poofta paedophile with official rights to destroy your children for their perverted kicks
Life used to be so much simpler.
Let’s go back to those simple times, starting with castrating paedophiles and hanging child-butcherers and letting men be men, no matter how they prefer to dress.
As a country boy growing up in Central Hawkes Bay I did not know what a tranny was until I went on a training course in the Hutt Valley for a week when I was 18 or 19.
Course traditions were that on the Thursday all attendees did a pub crawl from Wellington Railway Station to the Purple Onion strip club on Vivian street. On the way we stopped in for a look at a bar at the St George Hotel frequented by trannies and another at the Royal Oak Bistro Bar again almost entirely with a clientele of trannies.
Sure opened the eyes of this country bumpkin.
One of the funniest, and also the most blatant pieces of bullshit that I encounter on this issue as a Right-winger, is this constant accusation or implication by Lefties that I must obviously be a Far Right Christian Nationalist Transphobic, …. blah, blah, blah, who has no experience or history with anything outside of that milieu – and certainly doesn’t known any trans so that they could be understood as real human beings.
It’s amusing because of the arrogance and ignorance demonstrated.
Varsity in the 1980’s had any number of gays and lesbians so that was an introduction, although despite being a country boy I had read novels like Imperial Earth and Another Country at high school, so encountered nothing I found shocking.
The only two trannies I knew reasonably closely were via work. Both in California, both via my consulting job, and both good people. By the time I met them one was in his late 30’s and the other his late 40’s, both having transitioned a decade earlier.
But here’s the key differences between them and the current crowd:
First, they’d transitioned as adults, after a lot of thinking about the decision and after trying to live as woman as best they could sans drugs and surgery. Given my SF reference above I should add that Clarke, homosexual though he was, said, “I take an extremely dim view of people mucking about with boys” – although that was not entirely my experience of partying with gay guys, for whom the phrase Young And Beautiful applied.
Second, they had no doubt they were still male, despite having done everything they could to become female. This did not seem to disturb them.
Third, they simply were not activist, aggressive assholes. People demanding pronouns and other airs. They just wanted to be treated as professionals in their day jobs, with their personal lives their own.
Having said that I’ve never met a female-to-male trans, but then even the most tom-boyish lesbians I knew never considered transing to male. It’s a very 2020’s thing.
Tom most notable trans person around Hawkes Bay in recent times is Petra, former husband of Annette King I am told.
Our daughter knows Petra quite well and says he/she causes no problems whatsoever.
Not sure if Petra is still in Hawkes Bay as have not heard of him/her for a while.
Grooming is grooming no matter who does it. And it’s not the Left I worry about. You can’t even use the G word on Kiwiblog – they censor it. Farrar took his kids to drag queen story time, and it didn’t trans them, so it must be okay. Todd “Handbag” Stephenson, a childless gay midget, thinks grooming is a free speech issue. You have Governors in the US vetoing anti-transing legislation because muh parental rights. Once again, the so called “right” is acquiescing on social issues because they don’t want to be called mean names. It’s disgusting.
Funnily enough I had an entire KB comment vanish a little while ago because in a GD thread where a discussion of religious persecution was bubbling along, I made reference to an English Protestant martyr who was forced to carry faggots as a warning of what would happen next if he chose to keep going in his non-Catholic direction.
I was puzzled so put it up again and it didn’t get corrected the second time either, or even get a warning from the moderator. Just vanished again.
I can only assume that DPF’s Mod was sensitive about the word, “faggot” and ignorant of its historic usage – both of which are a bad look.
I’ve had quite a few innocuous things rubbed out by the mods over there. It’s disappointing, because Kiwiblog has a two decade legacy as the go-to place for right-leaning New Zealanders on the internet. And it’s not that Farrar has changed, so much as the world has changed. His brand of classical liberalism, which was firmly on the right of the National Party in 2002, is pretty much centre-left and almost “Clinton Democrat” here in 2024. And I’m not sure he’s figured that out yet.
Oh I’m sure he hasn’t and it shows not just on the social side like Drag Queen Story Hour and the endless, hopeless attacks on the Left over myriad issues with the “Look, look, they’re being hypocrites and using double standards again” strategy, but on the economics side as well with his regret that Biden has kept some of Trump’s anti-Chinese tariffs.
It’s just not the 1990’s anymore, and if it had not been for the 9/11 attacks I think the GOP would have had its Trump Moment a decade earlier.
What it will take for DPF to wake up to the changes I don’t know, but if National fails to improve our situation much in the next six years – and at this stage my expectations don’t even reach as high as the low ones I set for the Key government – then that might trigger some deeper thinking from the DPF-wing of National, and those further to his Left inside the party.
Actually this X-Tweet sums it up pretty well…
The woke trans ideology is worse than the born again Christians of the 80s and 90s. At uni I saw the born agains preying on the vulnerable. At least they were offering salvation.
the rainbow youth are just the new version preying on the disaffected. Sadly I know from first hand experience. We ended up at mental health last year with our 13 year old son asking for puberty blockers.
Thankfully we ran into a psychiatrist who didn’t diagnose what our son wanted.
Apart from that we got no assistance from public mental health. After scum hipkins dumping a billion dollars into mental health there were no resources to help us.
You’re bloody lucky you were still involved as parents. Like all groomers they work at separating their targets from friends and family; their entire old life cut off.
