About every other week some gender-fracas event arises that literally makes me get up from the computer and walk away. I don’t close the screen or navigate away from the article or info. I get up, fast, and do something else because I need a neutral space to process the outrage. I’ve even engaged in (gasp!) housework, which I despise almost as much as misogyny. I’ll wash dishes, vacuum, clean the bathroom or sweep to cleanse away the toxic psychic sludge imparted by the current political situation for American women. Sometimes I’ll play piano but, occasionally, the BS level is so high it tires my brain out too much for Bach, Beethoven or Joplin.
I had such a moment yesterday. A member of the ‘You’re Kiddin’, Right’ community sent me an email linking to an article in ‘The Hill’ discussing a ‘Transgender Bill of Rights’. The Democrats, who could not be bothered to codify women’s rights to physical autonomy, who are stripping us of our constitutionally guaranteed rights to free association by eliminating women’s spaces, the party who is delivering incarcerated women into the hand of rapists who pretend to be women, these people want to ‘protect’ and already favored group of con-men and perverts.
I got about two paragraphs into the article before I stood up saying ‘that’s enough internet for today’. No kitten videos could get me back on track, no images of frolicking Corgis or toddlers giggling as they’re mobbed by corgies and kittens could soothe the ‘FUCK ALL THIS!’
With the multiple crises facing the United States - health care access, climate change, escalating severe weather events, the further gutting of the EPA by the Supreme Court, the coup attempt of January 6th, crumbling infrastructure, inflation, ongoing COVID, the eternal crisis of education funding - the Democrats move to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include male sex fetishists. We haven’t yet managed to fully secure voting rights or access to all Americans but these clowns want to enshrine the rights of men to invade women’s spaces to prey on us physically, psychologically and politically. Instead of focusing their energy on helping Americans weather the coming recession, they want to make it impossible for business owners to fire AGPs if they act out on the job. Instead of putting concerted efforts into shoring up abortion access in states where it’s still available, they want to make sure men impersonating women still have access to women’s restrooms, locker rooms, prisons, and sports.
This pernicious pandering to trans drove me away from the computer yesterday. I’m sure this will drive sane, reasonable Democrats away from the party. I came back to the computer, however. Just as we, the sane, have to take back the Democrat party from trans-pandering loons. We have to pressure our reps to stop fluffing the pervs in our name. Let’s lean on them to actually represent us, the majority of people who know that women are adult human females and that males should not be allowed into women’s spaces. They need us to remind them that the predominantly middle-class/affluent white men who make up the trans community are just fine.
It’s understandable that outrage provoked by the continuing Democrat assault on women would drive people away. I fault no one for saying ‘THAT’S IT!’ Those of us who remain must get vocal, letting our representatives know that we won’t stand for their trans pandering lunacy.

You know who did actually throw abortion access under a proverbial bus? “The left.”
They calculated years ago that Roe v Wade was doomed, and that Genderism held possibilities for remaining in business after the inevitable happened. This is why you see Planned Parenthood clinics turned into hormone dispensaries, with laws and regulatory enforcement so loose that children can have them on demand.
