How Does Identity Politics Work if You Can Change Your Identity?
Surely someone on the left anticipated this problem. Surely. Or, perhaps, leftists are as short-sighted and closed-minded as they appear. Surely not. But then again, as soon as Rachel Dolezal went from cute blonde girl to black leader of the NAACP, surely the left realized that they had a problem. Surely.
But they soldier on. You’ve got to admire their tireless efforts. Leftists seem determined to convince everyone that they are bonkers. Or perhaps stupid. And they continue to win elections. Or, perhaps, they continue to ‘win’ ‘elections.’ I guess I don’t know. But their master plan seems to be working. Which seems odd, because they seem to have no master plan.
Surely they anticipated the problems with identity politics, once they decided that anyone can change their identity at any time. And if they didn’t anticipate that, Rachel tried to explain it to them years ago, the way Mr. Webb is now.
Surely someone on the left has a plan. Surely.
Or perhaps not.

Obama’s African ancestors were likely to have owned slaves.
For a guy who always put forward his half-blackness as making him a black man, he certainly seems to have little inclination to do anything for all his wealth that might aid his real-life half-brother and other relatives in Kenya.
That always bothered me. The idea that a half-white half-black person was all black came from slavery so slave owners could keep light-skinned slaves. I also feel it is wrong to deny the heritage of one of your parents. Especially if is the side that fed, raised and educated you.
Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmmm
BO is happy to have schools all over the world named after himself, but from what I can tell he has never lifted one of his delicate fingers to provide any resources.
When scanning the conversation I first thought the photo was of DJT.
But then they’ll have to pay reparations to the white people who have decided they identify as black.
Looks like Fauci to me.
Martina was, how do you put it, manly.
You were saying?
The winner now has $5,500 to take on a shopping spree. He can easily afford some new outfits, lunch with the girls, and a day at the spa.
How is this not mockery of women? Please explain.
I knew it!
We could end this pretty quickly. All that needs to happen is for us to embrace transgenderism. Then it wouldn’t be cool any more and we could just go back to boys and girls.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. It isn’t important for you to say 2+2=5. It is important that you internalize that 2+2 is whatever the left says it is. Once you have internalized the lie they have you.
So there is no crying in poker?
Well, something sweet about white lefties raising a son who refused to identify with them.
Someone should tell him that is not how those things work.
Dylan is Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs, prancing around in a woman skin suit. It’s a disgusting mockery of women by a very mentally ill Gay man.
Just a few years ago “I’m a lesbian trapped in a mans body” was a joke Rush told.
Now it’s a viable “lifestyle” option.
It is beyond bewildering that few on the left can even understand how irrational they are.
I will post something on twitter, and two or three Lefties come on with ad hominem attacks.
I point out if they feel they need to debate me, to start with citations showing that I am wrong.
So then they bring on some more ad hominem attacks.
Equally humorous is sometimes one of them will bring forward a citation – and even though by now 90% of centrists understand Fauci was wrong, the FDA, CDC, NIH were wrong -those are the exact entities they turn to as citations.
Theo Colburn explained it all back in the 1990’s. Her work with reptiles showed that low level pesticide exposures resulted in frogs and lizards that were hermaphrodites, with male reptiles with miniscuel non-functioning penises, lowered sperm count and more.
Of course, at least the frogs and lizards as babes and toddler frogs and lizards were not bombarded with the gazillion grams of aluminum, formaldehyde, various dyes, aborted fetal cells, various viral particles, some weakened and intentional, others the product of dirty, unsanitized laboratories from the 19 vaccines now required thru the Well Baby Clinics before a kid is even 18 months old.
Baby Boomers received at most 6 vaxxes before the age of 18. Today’s children must have 71 or 72 vaxxes. The health differences and appearance differences between the two groups is a real cause of concern.
And that is before the younger generation feeds off a diet of Doritos, diet sodas, and even energy drinks that are marketed to parents as food.

“Theodora Emily Colborn was Founder and President Emerita of The Endocrine Disruption Exchange, based in Paonia, Colorado, and Professor Emerita of Zoology at the University of Florida, Gainesville. She was an environmental health analyst, and best known for her studies on the health effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals. She died in 2014.”
Born:Theodora Emily Decker, 28, 1927, Plainfield, New Jersey
Died:Dec 14, 2014, Paonia, Colorado
Her book which put out in the public sphere her decades of definitive work on toxic exposures: “Our Stolen Future – How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race” is still considered one of the bibles of toxins and their effects on life forms.

Isn’t that the story of Colin Kaepernick too?
Sometimes having a black Dad who isn’t in the picture makes you uncomfortable about your identity.
James O’Keefe, formerly of Project Veritas, has his new media outlet up and running. (It is called http://Okeefemediagroup.com )
One of the topics he and his reporters are seriously delving into has to do with the “trans women” in prisons issue. Some of his reports focus on the prison system in Washington state.
So many of these imprisoned trans individuals have major crimes against women on their rap sheets. They have assaulted women. They have raped women. They now use the CCP line that to deny anyone who is claiming to be a woman any and all rights associated with womanhood is a serious taking of their civil rights.
These men claim the right to be housed in a cell with a biological female. And the real women are not having any of it. (Who can blame them?)
This one issue could easily bankrupt the entire prison system.
Any trans inmate denied housing as a woman is guaranteed legal representation by the ACLU.
A single lawsuit that makes its way into the court system could allow the trans individual a one million dollar settlement.
Meanwhile, biological women whose new roommates are biological men claiming to be women, will certainly be raped, perhaps become pregnant and also then be deciding to go after legal settlements. Which also could bring them huge sum of monies.
It seems like maybe the prison system executives ought to put all the trans women in the same wing of the prison and house them with each other.
But clearly that would make too much sense out in clown world.
I have been here since 1978 settling in just at the tail end of a successful multiple-term GOP governor (Dan Evans) and all he had accomplished here, but OMG there are not words to describe how appalled I am at what my beloved state (WA) has devolved into.
Not much point, you’re already a girl-person.
This seems like a point to suggest looking into my Rico Bio from years ago.
