These people need to stop using the word "transgender". Just like "vaccine" to describe something that clearly is not, the more this word is used, the more it will be accepted.

There is no. such. thing. as "transgender'. There is, however, mental illness for those who honestly believe it is possible to change their gender. I don't understand why there are people out there who believe that is possible. To quote Ellen Ripley from Aliens: "Did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?"

I will correct this comment on the day that one person, without the aid of drugs, hormones, surgeries, or anything else from big pharma magically changes from XX to XY or XY to XX. Then, and only then, will I accept this "transgender" nonsense.

Annie's avatar

They should use mentally ill and or harmful delusion to describe belief in transgenderism. Other than that it is cross dressing usually a male cross dressing as a female. Sometimes for laughs and sometimes to gain access to an area they should not be at.

I forget where I read this or who said it; paraphrasing: this surgery is only the second time a surgical procedure is/was used to cure a psychological problem; frontal lobotomy being the first.

This is the young lady Jeff mentioned yesterday.

It is worth your time to listen to what she has to say now that she is "detransitioning." Her story is timeline of tragedy pushed on her by a mental health crisis gone wrong. I have less and less respect for the medical complex...

https://youtu.be/yy3wTLCbv18

Maggie Think of Me's avatar

Here is some of her story:

An anorexic pre-teen, multiple hospitalizations, cutting, suicide attempts, raped, impregnated... lost the baby due to the anorexia...more suicide attempts, hospitalizations, cutting....

then, "your problems are because you're a boy in a girl's body."

She's intelligent, educated and knows exactly what happened to push her towards the trans garbage! And she's suing!

FourWinds's avatar

I write my own (albeit poorly written) substack and did posts on child abuse and this gender nonsense. I believe, if these people were honest, that 99% of them endured sexual abuse of some kind. It is all too common and is so sad. Good for her for suing!

Maggie Think of Me's avatar

I concur! The young lady I mentioned describes her mother struggling with alcoholism at the same time she was suffering from anorexia, and feeling all the attention was on helping her mother... Both needed help obviously, but at the time she felt her mother seemed to her, to come first.... (not unusual for selfish teens). She has matured immensly and sees things quite differently now. What struck me was that the parents questioned everything but were shut down with lie after lie after lie! I am convinced that the medical doctors carrying out these "gender affirming" surgeries are seriously mentally ill! I hope every single one of them, the hospital executives, and ALL others in the medical and "therapeutic" field who approved, affirmed and pushed these treatments are sued to the absolute hilt! I feel certain that the suits happening now against Kaiser demonstrate that hospitals are just as culpable and therefore, THAT is why hospitals are stopping the surgeries on minors! I hope the more children and young adults who come out as detransitioning will lead to and will be more likely to stop this insanity!

Gabriella's avatar

You left out one of the important factors that I heard from another young person in England… these confused adolescents get involved in on line chats where they are encouraged by, usually, adults to transition to the opposite sex.

I had my own trip down the rabbit hole with cellphones and what they do to your brain during the pandemic. I became obsessed with makeup tutorials. I hardly wear any makeup at all but all of a sudden, I was obsessed. I would watch for hours and hours. I spent so much money on makeup, money I didn't have. Do you know what cured me? I looked around and realized I was still sitting in my house even though it was perfectly safe to go out. I decided that I couldn't be housebound anymore. Once I got active again, I stopped watching those makeup videos and all of that went away. I am a grown woman. What do you think will happen to a child or teen who has little parental guidance (as so many of them do these days) when they're given access to the internet? They fall down these rabbit holes and there are predators out there looking for them. In fact, I would say sites like Instagram and TikTok have predatory programming designed to identify these kids so they can be brainwashed.

AusYank's avatar

I am working to recruit LGB to the anti-trans cause.

Think about it, trans is deeply homophobic. Jonny age 10 says he prefers boys, THEY tell him "that's because you are really a GIRL". Instead of just letting him be gay.

Yes yes we want normal families, but IMO trans is a different order of evil.

In other news: Dems jail their opponents, Republicans hold press conferences and send angry Tweets

Maggie Think of Me's avatar

Absolutely! The young lady referenced emphatically speaks to this as a HUGE RED FLAG! It is nothing less than sickos preying on young confused mentally unstable youth. It is one massive, endless lie of grandiose proportions! Wonder how many of the overwhelming number of "onliners" claiming to "answer and assist" these troubled young people are sexual perverts, pedophiles and the like....

Juliann's avatar

They seek attention and to be affirmed in their delusion. The consequences are terrible and theirs alone.

Mary H.'s avatar

This is clearly child abuse .

“But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to fall, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

A society is judged on how we treat the most vulnerable among us.

Maggie Think of Me's avatar

The same correlation as abortion... a society that murders its most helpless, innocent and vulnerable will not stand! Meanwhile Planned Parenthood is profiting (millions) from the selling of aborted fetus body parts, some from babies who are born alive only to have their body parts removed without anesthesia... There is no limit to depravity.

And on minors no less. Disgusting.

Regular cross-dressers back in the day knew they were men dressing as women (or, in the case of the rare female passing as male, e.g., in the Civil War, vice versa). The modern type is still cross-'dressing,' but using hormones and surgery to do so, and these are the delusional ones - sadly believing the profiteers who sell these snake-oil modalities.

lynn's avatar

Anyone wanting to learn more about why the are pushing Transgender should read a book called "Trans" by Helen Joyce. The movement is all about pedo's getting access to children. If your a female you really want to read this book.

nancy knox-bierman's avatar

My uncle was a cross dresser. He only did it at parties, always playing it as a joke, but sometimes he looked absolutely fantastic. He never did it in public spaces and as I have said before, was the best dressed man at my Grandmother's funeral.

Annie's avatar

My husband and his college buddies all dressed up as women for Halloween when they were in college. Ugliest group of women. Hilarious watching them try to walk in heels. 😅 It was a fun joke. Certainly not what it has become today.

Right? Dudes in dresses used to be hilarious!

devoalan's avatar

Im not so sure there aren't as many women trannies. I know many gay women, and most of them play that part of the male to a tee. In fact a few of them go above and beyond, taping down boobs, and just doing everything they can to appear male. What's the difference? Because they don't go for surgery, then they're just gay? Nah. Not buying it. It's all the same. Just now they are coming for the children.

Peter GL's avatar

Just like nobody wants to admit they are guilty of a crime (a la the jails are full of innocent people), just the same way nobody wants to admit the are "mentally ill" or "delusional", and only the liberals want to empower them and call them "transgender"

Annie's avatar

Libbies are mental and delusional.

PamelaZelie's avatar

Mental or choosing evil, intentionally?

FourWinds's avatar

Exactly. I think a person cannot be both severely mentally ill and evil at the same time. A mentally ill person can commit acts that are evil, but if they are truly insane, their acts are not a choice. Doesn't make them right. But, there is a difference between that and a person who deliberately chooses to be evil. I think most in DC right now are intentionally evil.

Samantha Gluck's avatar

I agree FourWinds. Words matter far more than people think. Our once rich, beautifully versatile language has been thinned out, watered down, made to be less fully expressive by “NewSpeak.” We must resist. I like to rebel using what are now called “archaic” words; though, they’re nothing of the sort for many were common when my Dad and even my Grandpapa were young. It intrigues some people when I do it, but it definitely annoys others.

rolandttg's avatar

Exactly. Fight fire with fire. Two can play the language game, and , I have honed my command of English all my life. The reason English is such a powerful language is that it has so many more words than most other languages, at least triple Spanish for example. It is possible to describe every nuance possible if you know your stuff. So know it and use it, and blast these bolsheviks back to hell from which they came.

Samantha Gluck's avatar

haha! Precisely, Roland! You definitely get what I'm saying here. And I love the last line in your reply. It's brilliant!

Roger Beal's avatar

Read (and memorize) Dickens. Listen to audio of "Firing Line" when Bill Buckley hosted it. Scrounge the thrifts for a copy of "The Thinker's Thesaurus" edited by Peter Meltzer and published by Norton in 2015. All three are great sources of words now deemed archaic, but which are actually more accurate (and oft times more compelling) than the microvocabulary we encounter today.

Cinghale's avatar

Found some at abebooks and hpb.com. Thank you,

Samantha Gluck's avatar

Haha great tips! I’ve read Dickens, but definitely haven’t memorized much of it at all!

Freebird's avatar

You’re a smart young woman Samantha! The left has perfected the art of changing the language using their most powerful tool, the US media. Here’s an example…they refer to abortion as pro-choice - my husband, who’s also a rebel, calls abortion pro-death. And he’s right. It’s not a harmless choice, like what’s for dinner. No, it’s the death of a child. And they get away with that by changing the definition of life itself…it’s not a live person, it’s merely a fetus, it’s just tissue…not a baby.

They adroitly and consistently change the meaning and intent of words to fit their agenda, which not only alters the language, but changes the culture, the morals, and the very fabric of America. It’s been going on for most of my lifetime and they appear to be winning. So we need more rebels!

MayBella82's avatar

I remember people who say they are pro-choice... it is still a woman with a dead child. The mother’s body started changing as soon as conception happened. As soon as she realized she was pregnant, she thinks of her baby as a baby... and ways her life will chance. No one talks about the mental illness side effects of killing your own baby. Women may not say it out loud but she knows what she did.

Freebird's avatar

You are so right! My heart aches for the women who believed that lie and then must live with the consequences for the rest of their lives.

Peter GL's avatar

I like that “pro death”! I’ll try to remember it

HoneyPot4Freedom's avatar

Look at who (behind the scenes) is funding this movement of "transgender".. Follow the money. This is all absolutely orchestrated and I am pretty sure it is funded by the elitists who fund the WHO. The very same people / families who funded the gay / lesbian movement back in the 50s and 60s.

WP William's avatar

yes, spelled out clearly as a powerful movement by pro Marxist Intellectuals (and Hollywood artistic culture recoiling against Gvt. oversight and censoring) and to fund and start wholesale change in society within the 1940s-50s, foundational to the de-Christianization Progressive Movement (Occult) in UK and USA in the 1890s and before

Politico Phil's avatar

I keep saying it: we can't allow the enemy to set the terms of the debate - yet we always do. For some reason, we allow the enemy to define the terms and lose the debate before it even starts. We end up in the back of the bus with the woke leftists driving. We don't even bother to get off the bus.

For example: the debate about "transgender" must be redefined as a debate about sex, male and female. Gender is an artificial construct for purposes of indoctrination. WE must set the terms of the debate. Deny their language as a lie.

Jen's avatar

In Michigan, they're working on making it a felony to "misgender" someone. A felony. At the same time California is working to remove the felony charge from child trafficking. I'd say it's a clown world, but it's worse than that. It's outright evil. Let's think logically for one minute, which person causes more harm to society?

rolandttg's avatar

They are trying desperately to normalize/decriminalize pedophelia before the public wakes up to the crimes against humanity that the cabal and their willing, or unwilling minions have committed. Remember 41 telling that famous female reporter that if the public ever got wind of what crimes they had committed, they would hang them all from lampposts.

daverkb's avatar

Words have gender, people has sex M or F. So 'transgender' is a confused word which has escaped its natural assigned 'at birth' linguistic category. Another words, words can mean whatever you want them to mean, just as the great Humpty Dumpty pontificated in Alice in Wonderland.

In Wonderland, it was self-evident absurdity. Today? And my! How times have changed!

We could invent a “phobia” term the way the left does when they want to cancel whole swaths of society.

Donna  P's avatar

When a leftist calls me "transphobic", I say "maybe you're 'straight-phobic' " 😆🤔

FourWinds's avatar

That's a good one! I feel like saying that there's no such thing as trans, so therefore there is no transphobic. Haven't had the chance to try that one out yet, though.

Karen's avatar

Yes!! Every time we see "gender" used incorrectly, we need to correct it. Every single time. This is how all this filth got started.

FourWinds's avatar

I once heard someone refused to use the term male/female or man/woman because (supposedly, in a wokie mind) this isn't absolutely aligned with biological sex. Instead, they used the terms "biological male" or "biological female". No one can argue with that.... well, watch the leftists/wokies try, but biology is biology.

Mazel Lee's avatar

Adding to your point, I want to say to these people, “biological female..., you know there’s a word for that...it’s called woman. Biological male? There’s a word for that too and it’s called man. Whatever it is you’re trying to refer to, come up with a different word. These are already taken.” 😆🙃

Brad's avatar

Part of the problem is that we can't even talk about this in the public square. All debate and critical discussion is treated as a threat to the public affirmation that transgenderism requires and is often curtailed or censored outright on the grounds that it "questions the right of trans people to exist." These spaz activists even claim that it constitutes "genocide."

Debra's avatar

The Public Square is not really open to the public. Now libraries are a whole different story.

Runemasque's avatar

What do you think the potential of the library is? In my experience you can hold events if they don't charge and are open to everyone and there is a space. I've hosted a documentary screening and panel discussion at a library before. Have you imagined anything in particular? I'd love inspiration.

FourWinds's avatar

But I bet they'd welcome trannies setting up shop there to spew their crap. Sick.

nancy knox-bierman's avatar

Thank you. Homosexuality didn't come out of the DSM until the 80's. "Gender dysphoria" is a fad or a serious mental illness and we should frame it that way. You are either a sheep or you are bat shit crazy. Pick your animal.

Somebody on this forum has more data than I (please share if you got), but I wonder how recent power-grid attacks, train derailments, air-traffic blunders, and ag disasters compare to our less-recent past. No doubt, increased demand and aging infrastructure must be factored in, but this is the type of destruction a hostile military accomplishes up front with precision air strikes. Add to that illegal immigration got-aways and the covid/vax attack, and the effects look exactly like open warfare on a slow roll.

For the blinded who believe these treatments and surgeries are based on good research and outcomes, offer psychiatrist Dr Marion Grossman’s two-part video on Epoch Times thought leaders which succinctly outline the absolutely unscientific and harmful history of the transgender movement. Medicine and psychiatry are captured until the people object.

Runemasque's avatar

I pre ordered her book. Even if you don't have a trans kid yourself, there is probably someone closer than you think. Parents are really caught unprepared and walk right into the trap that will make them help hurt their kids and potentially break up the family. Grossman wrote the book to help parents. Sasha Ayad also has a new book for parents.

Gender-Disabled as the State of ColoRainbow has now enacted ALL-gendered bathrooms for public buildings effectively nullifying (BANNING) male and female designations. It's for health, disability equality, privacy and modesty I can only assume. At least they require more baby-diaper changing stations. Why not feminine sanitary products, condoms, oral contraception, and Plan B pill dispenser in the restroom too for inclusivity and health. HB23-1057 Amenities For All Genders in Public Buildings

Microban Seats and seat wipes have always been needed as ALL genders are...not always tidy in elimination of liquid and solid wastes. Progressive barrier-bashing and designating us all as merely higher-evolved primate animal livestock human resources by having us do our personal business together and even publicly like a common herd is degrading our higher view of persons as made in the Creator's Image and displaying respect to each-other and maintaining propriety and order. Legalizing public nudity/exposure, self-touching, prostitution, and other base acts will be upcoming in the reach of activism and legal/State societal (de)evolution. Cultural change directed by the State and the ultra-wealthy and powerful perverts that have control of it and feed off of us as parasites although they like to think they are predators and we the prey.

When I was in college in the early 1970s, the feminist movement was just taking off on all the college campuses. Right off the bat I found the lot of them huge phonies and it was clear this was a political movement, not one that really cared about women's rights.

RU's avatar

Correct...to take it a step further, there is no such thing as gender in a human. It's a made up concept. That's why it's so "fluid" that the number of "genders" seems to grow every day. The whole idea that a person has a "gender" is imaginary, and therefore open to constant revision. And open to manipulation in the minds of gullible young people. It is an academic construct.

There is biological sex, which is an immutable part of the person (defined by chromosomes as you noted). And biological sex has certain qualities to it that correspond to differences in thinking, emotion, character, and thus family/social roles.

Then, there are gender roles, assigned to people by their societies and social circles, and typically assigned according to biological sex. Gender is something societies define, not individuals. That's what the left is trying to destroy: society's history.

BTW, there have always been people who don't want to accept or conform to those assigned roles: we used to call them tomboys and nancyboys. Butch lesbians or "fem" gays. But, the concept of gender as a thing a person has is pure propaganda, designed entirely for the purposes we are seeing today: to confuse and divide. To create a "spectrum" of "gender." To cause chaos and "subvert the nuclear family." It's all academic theory happening IRL.

Which brings us to the goal of the entirely made up concept of "transgenderism": Destroy society by destroying its fundamental building block by creating a caste of people who not only reject society's historical gender roles, but mutilate themselves so that they can never conform to those roles or have families. People confused into believing they need to make their bodies align with their mixed-up views about their "gender." A type of mental illness for sure. Propaganda-based mental illness. Weird times.

John Galt?'s avatar

Exactly. Like nearly everything nowadays, it's a "wedge" issue. Anyone who has chopped firewood knows the purpose of a wedge. It's there to split something in two. The leftist cabal knows that splitting society (answering the default thesis with an antithesis) will open the door to a new "syn" thesis. This is textbook dialectical materialism. Division is the mother's milk of a Marxist revolution. As Madge would say, "you're soaking in it"

Debra's avatar

Sorry to be blunt but I really want someone to say to the men, "Show me your bloody tampon month after month, year after year and then we will talk about your biological sex." To the women, "Show me your jacked-off semen in a cup and then we will talk about your biological sex."

RU's avatar

That's the thing: they can never be what they want to be. Even if they look like a good facsimile, they will never be a functioning opposite sex person. Their demand to be "affirmed" is nothing more than a demand for everyone else to change their own world for the ill "trans" person to feel "affirmed." But, no matter what they do they will never be the opposite sex.

It's no different in any meaningful way from saying they want to be a dog and so doctors should chop their legs off at the knee, stitch on a tail, give them hair growth hormones, and all of us should pet them, rub their bellies, and feed them treats. Or saying government agents from space are spying on them, so we all have to dress up like men in black and follow them around. (When people say gay and trans are the same thing, these are two differences I point them to. I may not understand a gay person's attractions, but I don't have to alter the structure of my world for them to be able to experience gayness. And they can actually experience gayness, whereas a trans man/woman will never experience the real thing.)

Because it's so political, this is essentially forced political speech, which I believe is unconstitutional. IMO, employers are going to be royally screwed by all of this over the next 5 years or so. Pharma, government (though I repeat myself), and media will likely escape the lawsuits, but employers will not. They will turn out to have been the useful idiots re: covid, trans, etc.

I have read that billions have gone into the “transgender” campaign to both normalize and celebrate it because the numbers are growing exponentially, due to chemical poisoning of our food and water.

Yes same here. It kept nagging at me that everyone’s trying to sell this as “mental illness” or social media influence. A teen’s hormones? Give me a break. You’d have to go in there with a bulldozer where it matters to change that drive. It’s not just a “choice.”

John Galt?'s avatar

I know someone who is "transitioning". This is a very high IQ person who got lost in a maze of politicized propaganda during the pandemic. If republicans are against it, "trans" people and their sympathizers are reflexively for it. That's one of the more fiendishly clever aspects of the divide. It's similar to Fauci, who for some is worthy of votive candles and worship, while others rightly see the lizard beneath the surface. One's political attachment can completely obliterate reason and balance. The "trust the science" folks are decidedly anti-science when their core dogmas are challenged.

GoodGrief-239's avatar

On a related note, stop “gender reveal” parties. It’s not the gender of the baby, it’s the sex of the baby. At what point in our history did the question change from “what’s the sex of the baby” to “what’s the gender of the baby”?

RunningLogic's avatar

I think it’s because people don’t like saying the word sex 😑

Katrina the Hurricane's avatar

Cmon transgender is like spontaneous evolution! J/k! You have correctly observed, however, that the hijacking of language is the pathway to cultural redefinition and acceptance of an idea. We do not need to participate non their language altercations. For example, I will NEVER refer to a person with plural pronouns because doing so violates the retired teacher editor/proofreader in my DNA. Pronouns have antecedents, and the antecedent to they/their is multiple people, not a singular person. That’s jus a gross violation of grammar. So I’m in agreement to using words precisely and correctly.

Katrina the Hurricane's avatar

And proofreading before hitting “send,” which I clearly did not do! 😬

FourWinds's avatar

It happens to the best of us!

I like your angle.... I can refuse to call these morons "they" because it's grammatically incorrect. Can you imagine the mess? Like "She needs to use the bathroom" versus "They needs to use the bathroom" ("needs" is intentional.)

Heterodox Introvert's avatar

Not to mention, within their ideology, even if they think they have multiple PERSONALITIES, there is still only o.n.e person - with 5, 500, 5000 personalities rattling around in there. And, only one alternate personality can speak at a time, never multiple personalities at the same time, like they have two heads, or more, competing for attention, each trying to speak louder than the other. Doesn't happen. Only ever one at a time. So referring to someone in the singular is always correct, even if you're not sure which personality you're speaking to.

Maybe the sane community needs a characterizing acronym to lump them into their sad, mentally ill, snowflake cubby hole. I don't know what that is, just that it acknowledges their illness without being overtly nastily disparaging (even though by design it more or less has that characterization). PIMPHS = People In Multiple Personality Hell Syndrome. Acknowledges it ain't pleasant for them, but skews the language via spelling and pronunciation toward a despicable type of person. Say the PH as an "f" sound as a distinct separation from the established despicable type. No no no, we don't mean anything by it, it's just a coincidence ;) ;) DIDsYs - Dissociative Identity Disordered Youth (a hell known to be precipitated by trauma). THEY (The Hierarchy Exploiting You) are manipulating language; we need to do the same. ...Wasted keystrokes here? Ah I don't know. I think I'm tired. Patience thins, like Brandon,😏 filters fall to the side.

Thank you for *your* patience.

By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace. And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

— Hebrews 11:30-34 NASB1995

Benjamin Two N's's avatar

When Ukraine was under Russian control almost 5 years before the revolution.

Ironic, isn’t it?

The people rebelled against Russian control and tyranny precisely because of what they pushed.

Nowadays they are shooting child pedophiles.

Funny how the Russian army tortured, rapes, and murdered so many children and trafficked them to Russian families for money.

I once heard that "Well isn't that nice" is a southern way of saying "I don't care", but I am not a southerner so I don't know.... but I have used it on several occasions.... especially at work. No disrespect, of course, but I don't know the lingo.

It totally depends on how it is used! It has both meanings! Good and bad!

Sort of like a left-handed compliment. It goes along with a sweet southern lady could also be one with "an iron fist in a white glove."

My fave Southernism from The Last Ride by Martha Smith about a presumed murderer Bill Powell in Nashville: “Mrs. Suddoth, who was in the middle of telling a story, heard the noise and looked back over her shoulder, just in time to see Powell emerge from the car. Without so much as a trace of emotion in her voice, she said, ‘Oh, Bill’s here. He’s such a good boy. I know he killed that man, but he’s such a good boy.’ She then went back to telling her story.”

I’m amazed at how many people, even those who are suspicious of the jabs rely on the false PCR tests! As they say; baffling.

Debbie Beatty's avatar

The actual truth is 93% of the vaccinated has already been infected, yet you had dunderheaded doctors telling them they still needed the shot. That alone should have been a clue it was NOT about preventing Covid.

Katrina the Hurricane's avatar

Of course they were manipulated into getting the jab before the establishment finally acknowledged the efficacy of natural immunity

Debbie Beatty's avatar

Those with a minimum of knowledge knew that natural immunity is always superior to vaccination, but regardless, having already lived through the “deadly virus” you’d think they’d realize the vaccine was unnecessary, and since it was still experimental, choose not to be lab rats.

Benjamin Two N's's avatar

Imagine wanting Ukrainians to surrender to someone who is actively committing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

You would have been wanting the British to surrender to Germany during the blitz too.

Ukraine has to fight because if they don’t the Russian goon squads and secret police throw them into torture chambers, deport them, and destroy their history and heritage.

Ukraine would cease to exist .

I watched a portion of the congressional hearing yesterday. It was maddening to see two "congress members of color" go off on a rant about racism, stating that the two tier justice system is really white versus black.

Yes, absolutely Jeff, Hollywood and other globalists/elitists always tell us what they have planned and it’s happening right now with even more depravity right around the corner.

These weirdos are, definitely coming for our children.

My ten year old loves Barbie and desperately wants to see the new movie coming out. She cried when I mentioned that the movie is not appropriate for Christians. So NO, she may not see it.

I saw a CBN critique of the movie and according to the reviewer, the first scene opens with little girls playing with baby dolls and it all seems so sweet until the little girls begin bashing and whacking the baby dolls and talking about how they don’t need to have babies. There are ‘trans’ or non-binary characters, fairly blatant references to homosexuality, and Ken is the villain in the story. I guess because he’s a white, heterosexual male.

As parents, we have to protect our kids from these mind manipulators and MAP’s 🤢in Hollywood as long as possible.

Know a family... All jabbed. 26 yr daughter , HCW, began having seizures dec 2022. Random , no warning. Med tests show not epilepsy. Drs say it is stress/ anxiety... Dr assume probably had her whole life ( but never showed up til now?!... And she has some stressful events in her life before this) meds don't work, but hey there is this new psychotherapy to help people who have stress seizures! Took several months to get in cause they are so booked ( how many people need this therapy nowadays?!). It's really horrid. There is no warning before she gets them ... She has had as many as a dozen in a day. Has had one concussion from falling. Cannot hold a job, cannot drive , had to move back to parents home. I think it's the jab, but not something you can say or convince people of. This is a good Christian family... They follow the law, volunteer , want to do no harm to others. And got suckered into this. It's just infuriates me!

Verve's avatar

Just terrible, that poor young woman. It may be out of your comfort zone but maybe you could share some FLCCC or McCullough protocols with the family as they continue to wait for worthless and ineffective appointments for pointless treatment.

Rlp's avatar

I would like too... But even gently asking did she have booster brings up " no it's not the vaccine!"

People get very defensive. And shut the conversation down quickly

CarO Lyn's avatar

Two of my 4 kids previously had some autoimmune issues and then got the jab for themselves and their whole family, grandkids too :-( and now both have much more severe problems but “I had this before I had the vaccine” so it can’t be that! Interestingly they are both in their early 40’s (41&43). My other two kids are 49 & 53 and no jabs for them. The younger two are very liberal and the older two are very conservative. Makes me question if I raised them differently or if society just influences the younger ones more.

MaryAnn's avatar

My son also has an autoimmune disease. He was the one who suggested I do a ‘wait and see’ on the jab. No way he was going to send his immune system into overdrive with that poison.

Much too hard to think they brought this pain upon themselves. My daughter's issue was not related to the vaccine (I think) even though she did in fact get the jab (against my wishes/she was an adult)

That's horrible. It makes me so angry at the money grubbing media for not being the 4th pillar they should have been/should be to what the gov't was/is doing. I will pray for this family as I Can Imagine the pain they are experiencing. As a side note, doctor in my daughter's care said her seizure activity was psychogenic as well. That notion helped to kill her...

I’m continually dismayed by so many Christian’s utter lack of discernment.

Question: 2.7 Billion in tax relief for Floridians? Where? How? When? Our property taxes have soared, home owners insurance has soared and nearly impossible to get, auto insurance rates have soared, and electricity and water are crazy high. Sales tax is still the same. Still paying way more than 3 years ago for absolutely everything. So I’m curious how we are getting 2.7 billion in tax relief? What am I missing? I must be missing something. And I realize insurance is different than taxes, however reading an insurance bill, it is peppered with misc taxes and “fees” which are just another name for taxes of all sorts, along with water and electricity bills.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy for the large debt pay off!

Just tell me specifically where the large savings happened. Otherwise it’s a campaign tactic to look good without actually saving anybody anything. It’s easy to hide behind larger numbers than what our households handle monthly or yearly apparently.

Queen Hotchibobo's avatar

I just read a post by someone in the industry that this is just the beginning on insurance increases. It’s nationwide.

Jean V's avatar

Our homeowners (farm and ranch policy) plus insuring our business (on the property) just doubled because our previous insurer decided to drop our insurance, even though we had never made a claim. We struggled to even find replacement insurance, and were actually without homeowners for about two months while we were getting approved. It was unbelievable! What's going on in the insurance industry??? Fraudulent claims???

RandiG's avatar

Hi Jean,

Sadly, when an insurance company needs to reduce their aggregations i.e. the amount of capacity deployed in any one area/zip code/county, it doesn't matter how long you were with them or that you had no losses. I wish I could say differently. It is just about them reducing their amount of risk so they can continue on the ones they select. I am sure many people were in the same situation and were confused. Communication is not an insurance company's strong points. Your company should have given you 120 days notice so you could prepare. That said, personal lines is different than commercial lines.

Personal lines is much more regulated. Without getting into the minutia, state's Department of Insurance need to approve rate increases beyond 10% and usually the approval comes much later than when the increase was submitted, only the insurance company really needed 20% now. So, they are never keeping up. After the 2020 riots, floods, tornadoes, wildfires and hurricanes in the last 3 years, insurance companies are struggling to remain solvent. I'm not crying for them. I am only stating facts.

Add to the above that reinsurance costs (reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies - think Lloyd's of London) that have severely escalated in the last 8 months and you have a capacity crunch. Reinsurance costs have gone up an average of 30%. If you bought your insurance after 1/1/23, you probably have seen the increase already, if not, you will. For an insurance company, they either buy less reinsurance and are able to write less risks OR they buy the reinsurance they need and pass the costs on to us, the consumer.

You asked about claims. Yes, it is about claims, but that isn't the whole story. Cost of capital trump claims. Insurance is socialistic risk transfer. The many pay for the few.

Heterodox Introvert's avatar

So I guess I should be happy that my homeowner's premium jumped some 25% instead of being dropped? Rhetorical.

that, and look what the SADS has done to life insurance claims

RJ Rambler's avatar

That what we have had although we have a very modest house and vehicles!

Queen Hotchibobo's avatar

I understand that a lot of it is inflation. The supply chain problems drive up homeowner repairs, car repairs are much higher, and lawsuit claims are up. Also the reinsurance costs are way up.

D&R’s Gma's avatar

I’ve thought for awhile now that insurance premiums were going to increase because of all the excess death benefits being paid out? IDK 🤷‍♀️ just my way of thinking 🤔

JW's avatar

Also the risk of fires and payouts of devastated areas of massive fires caused a huge number of ins companies to cancel policies. CA being one.

D&R’s Gma's avatar

Is it possible the wildfires are a deliberate attempt to round up mountain dwellers and make it impossible to live outside the 15 minute people pod cities? I know I sound crazy but that’s where my mind goes on occasion. How can people live in mountain homes if they can’t get fire insurance? 🤷‍♀️🤔

RandiG's avatar

D&R,

Life insurance will go up, but that doesn't have a direct effect on P&C insurance.

FH's avatar

This is exactly what I have been thinking - death and disability payouts. Employers aren’t going to be able to afford, or want to pay the increases in ADD/LTD insurance premiums, so the insurers are going to have to spread the pain around all their product categories. Like grocers do. Anyone else notice that a pint of isopropyl- AKA rubbing -alcohol has gone from $.99 to $2.48 in the grocery store since 2020? I very much doubt that the run on alcohol early in coronamania accounts for this exorbitant price today. The price of store brand butter has remained fairly stable though.

FH's avatar

I should add, my thoughts are pure speculation based on limited information.

SYFY's avatar

I am assuming they are counting all the 'tax savings' incentives they have that the vast majority of people don't actually take advantage of. You know, tax free energy saving appliances (most people won't be buying them unless the ones they have died), tax free school supplies (only those with kids going to school really benefit here), etc. The only real time I noticed a difference was when they had tax free gas for a month. It's ridiculous how much they tax you. Our founding father's have to be rolling in their graves, they went to war over much lower taxes than what we have to pay today. I'm all for no taxes, but at the very least you shouldn't be taxed (penalized) for making money.

Heterodox Introvert's avatar

As part of your journey of wakening to truth you should know that most Americans, probably including you, don't owe federal income tax - tax on making money as you say. True. As you intuitively surmise. I went a bit lengthy above in comments to @Kim on this subject, recommending reading that will give you the in-depth researched truth. Here's a short testimonial from someone who studied the material and applied it. She holds up her copy of the primary guidebook in the video; you can see the cover/title/author.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB8IUKpxqJ0&t=380s

Video is also posted on the author's website, where you need to go to get books (not available at normal retailers except for way, way too high of a price tag).

https://www.losthorizons.com

Filing an informed return will be met with resistance by the big bully agency. But there's loads of helpful information on the website to get you through the bogus challenges. Once you refer the low level processors to their own code (Title 26 U.S.C.) they have no challenges left.

No judgment if you/anyone is not ready to take their blinders off, staying subservient to the servant government, the government as servant being the arrangement the founders intended.

Blessings.

Floridian here . . . our property insurance doubled this year and our kid's nearly tripled. That said, had another kid live in California for a number of years and they have high insurance rates too. Plus at least a 10% income tax, high sales tax, extremely high gas prices, etc. I'm not sure what the answer is.

Sunnydaze's avatar

I don’t have the answer either except dare I say under Trump this didn’t happen. In fact we had more money back then.

Oregon is like California. Our property taxes there were super high too. Insurance rates same. Everything for us here in Fl has doubled from 2 years ago now. It was actually 2021 when we started seeing it go up. I know Michigans auto insurance is super high.

I know it’s happening all over. But, what I’m asking is where is the 2.7 billion dollar savings??? Where? In what way? Who is saving? I hate the blanket statements that look good without any actual accountability for it. Someone needs to point blank ask DeSantis to explain where the savings is? But I digress. No one ever will.

daverkb's avatar

Reduce all government back down to constitutionally limited government. It would mean a benevolent end of The Empire. And the Terrorism government no longer could afford to terrorize 'the citizens'. The only other alternative is to declare bankruptcy which is already a de facto accomplished fact. The rest of the world already know that the US/Five Eyes can't pay its bills in real terms ... not other than transfer of wealth CB money printing.

Remember the Carter-Reagan debates? When Reagan asked “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” then won by a landslide!

AM's avatar

I think one thing that's happening is that it costs so much more to repair stuff now. Energy prices are super high and they factor in to everything that we do/consume. It's insane to me that people don't see this and just default to climate change as the reason. Agree that it would be nice to know where the 2.7 billion savings gets applied.

RandiG's avatar

AM,

BINGO! The cost to repair is many, many times what it used to be. Years ago when you needed to replace a side mirror on your car it was what? - $100 - $150? Now, if you want to replace the same mirror today with all the electronics, it is $1,300! This is part of the reason for increases. The other part is cost of capital and cost of employees.

News flash - there is NO climate change. I have been modeling insurance risks for hurricanes, flood, earthquakes, etc. for over 30 years. We have weather, not climate change. Think of climate change as a political idea for wealth transfer and not based on ANYTHING in reality. Climate change (political idea) does not make an area flood - rain does that. Climate change (political idea) does not bring on earthquakes - the shifting of the tectonic plates does that. US Hurricanes are caused because of storms off the African coast - not climate change.

Can you IMAGINE if political thoughts controlled our weather?! Humans are not that powerful. We can control our weather - well, unless we spray chemtrails and pollute all our water that affects our trees and wildlife.

These messed up globalits really do think they are God. Only the real God can control weather. We need to remind the globalists of that - every day!

RunningLogic's avatar

It was more clear to me than ever that this is just a transfer of wealth/control scheme when I found out banks are trading carbon credits on the stock market. Yup, see who’s making money on it and you see why they are pushing it so hard 😑

AM's avatar

Completely agree. "Climate change" reminds me very much of the Covid insanity. Except it's even more amorphous which comes in handy for the-powers-that-be. It can be blamed for literally everything.

Peter GL's avatar

Cost to fill up Jeep Cherokee tank week before 2020 elections under $30. Now over $45! Same car, same gas, same gas station! Whom do you blame?

AM's avatar

I think people grossly underestimate how much this costs all of us on a macro scale. And I 100% blame the Biden administration, who from day one, declared war on energy independence - all so they can usher in some sort of crazy-a** climate ideology for which we have no proof of concept.

-TobeorNottobe-'s avatar

Only 10% income tax?? I think we’re up to 25-30% here in Oregon. And I wonder where Al my paycheck goes to…

AM's avatar

I think 10% is the minimum. Ugh.

RandiG's avatar

Sunnydaze,

The ‘fees’ on your insurance bill aren’t taxes. Those fees go to the insurance company and if you cancel, those fees are non- refundable. Regulatory laws are the reason these fees came into such prominence, of late.

Insurance premiums worldwide is on the rise. The property & casualty insurance sector for both personal and commercial lines was not profitable the past few years and they either raised rates or would have to pull their capacity. That is what State Farm did in CA. They pulled out of the entire state. Crazy, right?

But don’t worry, the communist state of CA is waiting for all those cancellations with the (un)Fair plan.

SA,

CA is a strange state. They can't MAKE a carrier do business in their state if they don't want to. Shame on CA for not protecting their resident's property better and helping cause all these issues. Mechanical deforestation (not cutting down trees, but clearing out all the dead underbrush and tinder so as not to have a fire spread easily) is a perfect example. They stopped mechanical deforestation in the late 90's and now - massive wildfires. It is ridiculous and sad.

CA has also been involved in geoengineering and cloud seeding projects since at least the 60’s. The chemicals they apply to atmosphere dry out vegetation and create a perfect tinderbox for massive fires. My Shasta has seen toxic levels of aluminum and other metals in their snow. The beetles move in to the stressed trees and forest die off is the result of these risky environmental experiments. Reinette Senum (a former mayor in Nevada City, CA) is organizing a lawsuit to stop this. Check out her foghorn express substack.

Ins companies have pulled out of Florida in large numbers. It’s hard to even get insurance. And like Jean said above, it doesn’t even matter if you haven’t had a claim in 30 years. They are dropping people left and right for no reason. We can’t even GET new (lower) insurance unless we pay $1k for a new water heater that isn’t even broke! 🙄 That’s more than we would save even with the new water heater. It’s sooo bad. Shameful.

RandiG's avatar

Hi Sunnydaze,

I replied to Jean above.

They are dropping people in specific area but is isn't to penalize anyone. It isn't personal, even though it might feel like it is. It is simply about dollars - cost & profit. If it costs more money to deploy their capital in an area than another, they will pull out (like State Farm) and go play elsewhere. That is a very simplistic very, of course.

They want you to replace the water heater probably because it is older and they are concerned about flooding. It's not about if it is working or not. It's just statistics. I'd guess it is most likely now part of their guidelines and they have to adhere to them or they could get fined by the state.

Cost of reinsurance has been rising creating what we call as underwriters as 'a hard market'. Previously, we were in a soft market, especially with Trump as President, because interest rates were low and capital was easy to get. Now - UGH! It is like pulling teeth. I have my own issues with commercial reinsurance so, I feel everyone's pain.

If I can give anyone my insurance suggestions it would be this:

* Make sure you have an A rated carrier for your personal lines (homes, auto and umbrella). You want to make sure they will be there in the event of a loss - hence the A rating.

* Be careful when purchasing flood coverage from NFIP (FEMA) or a flood only carrier. You want to get paid for your claim. NFIP - National Flood Insurance Program is run by our government - enough said.

* Insure your home for the value the insurance company estimates. At renewal, ask for a copy of their 'Marshall & Swift Cost Estimator'. This is an industry estimator that calculates the cost of your home to rebuild. It will even calculate a pool, which have skyrocketed. Why would you insure it adequately? You don't want a co-insurance penalty at the time of a loss. Adequate insurance is key.

* Make sure you have an umbrella. Even if you only purchase $1m and even of you only have an apartment, get an umbrella. The cost is generally $500 on average if you don't have a lot of assets. The coverage has a 'duty to defend' you. You get the benefit of the insurance company's in house counsel. The cost of an attorney can be anywhere from $350 - $750 an hour, so it is worth it to have the coverage. An umbrella is coverage over your auto and home liability.

GREAT tips Randi G, thank you for posting.

Insurance companies have been doing this all over for years now.

Took the words out of this Floridians mouth. What a great question. We lost our property insurance. UPC went out of business. Hunted around and think we found one that may or may not take effect in a matter of hours - just in time for hurricane season (which BTW seems to be heating up this year). Auto insurance rates went up bc of the fact that thousands of people are moving/coming to Florida - some without insurance - which increases our Uninsured Motorist rates. Everything else is because of sniffin’ Joe’s (Obama-in-the-basement-telling-him-what-to-do) policies. This administration’s time is coming to a close.

Truth 101's avatar

Re: auto insurance rates. It is much more expensive to repair a damaged electric vehicle so the insurance companies are passing the costs along to the consumers. Happy Green New Deal to us. 🤮

AM's avatar

Yes, heard a bunch of EVs in Cape Coral/Fort Myers were damaged beyond repair due to the hurricane. The flood waters hit the batteries.

Truth 101's avatar

Yes. Also the cost to repair EVs after a collision is so high that many times the insurance company totals the car. The replacement costs then get passed on to the consumer via higher insurance premiums.

AM's avatar

This just blows my mind.

Debbie Beatty's avatar

Your insurance rates and cost of living increases have nothing to do with taxes. The dilution of the dollar by Trump/Biden spending is the cause of that.

Rosalind McGill's avatar

Our inflation is higher than most!

Hmmm...ending mutilation of children by doctors maybe because they fear getting sued? Oh wait maybe the government can step in and exempt them from liability....you know like they did for big pharma in 1985 when they were being sued for vax damage to children?

This surgery reminds me of lobotomies. That's the category of insanity it's going to fit into in 2070 and beyond, assuming we have civilization and records of what happened available.

It is the insurance companies paying for it that ought to be getting the pants sued off of them.

AM's avatar

Yet these same insurance companies will fight tooth and nail on diagnostic tests/procedures that people actually need.

Peter GL's avatar

and will deny any "experimental" drug therapy

AM's avatar

Oh yes and pull the rug out from under people who legitimately need pain medications to function.

Oma's avatar

And the medical staff performing them lose their license FOREVER and the hospitals loss accreditation and federal dollars. Evil can be stopped if enough good people step up.

Annie's avatar

💯 this entire mutilation industry for minors will stop when those said minors become adults. And they still are screwed up. They are starting to sue the doctors, hospitals and counselors who lied to them etc. They ought to sue the teachers, schools and their parents too. It's not about doing the right thing. It's CYA and $$$.

Garden Lover's avatar

I read a portion of the article. They claimed it was because there was too much violence toward hospitals that were performing them. Sure . . .

Jeff, the original BBC version of Utopia is also available on Amazon streaming, and it takes the story to a darker place. Personally, I like the BBC one more, but they’re both great in their own right.

Dawn B's avatar

BTW John Cusack also played in the movie "Cell" that showed phones killed 90% of the population and ended with everyone left circling around a cell tower.... Just like videos of the animals actually doing now. Weird...

Maybe the are trying to tell us something...

AM's avatar

I truly believe they "soften the target" with these fiction movies. Get people used to an idea so that when it actually happens, people believe it more.

This is what makes me say hmmm, when you have people dying in a concert. What frequencies were being used and transmitted? I haven’t jumped on the whole ‘graphene oxide’ thing with the jabs, but is there something in some of them??? After the Danish study showing different adverse event rates around different batches, it makes me wonder if something is in SOME vials/doses/batches. Not enough in too many to make it too obvious, but something that reacts with certain frequencies. Then add in all the 5G towers and stuff and it makes me say hmmm…wasn’t there also something early on with the whole Covid thing and cruise ships with new 5G stuff, too. I just wonder. Thankfully, I am fully prepared to be wrong or right and I ultimately trust that God knows and I simply pray for the truth to be revealed in proper time and in the meantime protection for us all. Lord help us!!!

Dawn B's avatar

5G is concerning

Frequencies can be healing/ positive and negative. They use the neg in music...

I haven't heard about the cruise 5g issue.

There is definitely bad stuff in the jabs but not all like you said. Did you see people were magnetic near the jabs site? Lots of vids on those...

God knows what is happening and I trust Him. We have it easy when you consider the suffering of others... especially the trafficked people/ children. God please give them rest.

Fla Mom's avatar

You have to pick and choose, based on what you can tolerate at any given time. I've bought the books written by so many during COVID, just to support them, but have read almost none for the same reason (though I've read extensively, just not the books).

FH's avatar

I’m not alone! I could barely get through the first couple chapters of RFKJr’s book, of of Dr Malone’s; haven’t even opened Ed Dowd’s - for reasons y’all describe. I like to retreat to historical fiction...or on AMZ Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. We just finished watching the final season. And Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. The more commercial/wealthy PBS station out of LA has the last season of Endeavor running on Masterpiece. I avoid all the woke stuff on all these channels/providers, selecting what I am sure will be “good guys winning”.

Fla Mom's avatar

Yes, we need some relief, some escape. I stopped reading my new copy of Civil Defense Manual a couple of days ago, which I'm otherwise very much enjoying because of how informative and helpful it is, because there's so much we have yet to do, so many aspects aren't that controllable, etc. It ends up putting a weight on your shoulders. I woke up last night, worried that one of the people who are trying to hack me and phish me were going to break in and attack me. I manage and post a lot on a politically-incorrect FB page for a political group. A group of Dems from another part of the state took particular umbrage all during June ("Pride" month), and I think a couple of them came to one of our voter registration booths I had advertised on the page. They were trans types, strolling around a festival in a tiny country town. *Tiny.* I wish I could change the channel.

Another theory into these “unexpected deaths” or at least a portion of them, could be the rise in suicide. I was hearing about how since the pandemic the rate of suicide has increased, especially with kids, which is absolutely heartbreaking. In my experience as a medic, when I went on a successful suicide, and then saw the obituary later, that is how they would phrase the obituary: “died unexpectedly” or “died suddenly” especially the young people. I never once saw where they said they took their own life. It is typically and understandably a taboo topic and not spread around. But when I saw an obituary (before covid) or heard of a young person dying you can usually get a sense that it was by their own hand. But now it’s hard to know.

Sometimes the family will ask for donations to be made to "X" Mental Health charity or to "X" Drug and Alcohol Abuse Clinic or charity.

Interesting insight that most of us wouldn't have; thanks.

VeryVer's avatar

I also wonder about the bizarre single car accidents we’ve been having in Vermont? Suicides? Heart attacks? Distracted people? It’s really hard to tell.

Peace's avatar

Anyone know whether news outlets are even "allowed" to state a person's death was due to suicide? I have known two local suicides recently that made no reference to suicide or mental issues, even in a lengthy news writeup on one of them.

I don't know why Putin hasn't bombed Ukraine into oblivion but Im glad he hasn't, Biden needs a war to bring in the great reset or one world government and Putin knows it. As for the transgender crap, it's demonic and evil, "doctors" are turning once healthy kids into eunuchs and "parents" are all in. When this disgusting fad ends there will be millions of kids around the world wanting to commit suicide. I can't wait for the lawsuits to start, I hope they devastate financially every person involved.

Not all the parents are all in. Some of us are suffering the worst tragedy thinkable. Please educate yourself and everyone you know before it happens to you too. Look at PITT Substack. Read the new book “Lost in Trans Nation” by Dr Miriam Grossman. Listen to Jordan Peterson. Watch “What is a Woman” Please do not blame or lump all parents together.

Hannahlehigh's avatar

Im not saying ALL parents are in, Im saying the parents who go along with the mutilating of their children. This trans crap will not happen to me, my daughter is 54 and Im 71, we grew up in different times and would have home schooled our kids before we ever sent them to the now indoctrination camps labelled as "schools"

Bitesandpieces's avatar

From seeing some of the interviews of the mothers of these gender dysphoric kids, I can’t help but think they’re the children of the Flower children of the 60’s. If it feels good, do it!

Debbie Beatty's avatar

They don’t always aim their violence at themselves. We will see a corresponding increase in mass shootings and other random acts of violence, as these people realize they’ve been scammed and permanently damaged.

MayBella82's avatar

I feel very sad for the confused trans kids. One day their brain will be fully developed and they will realize how they were manipulated.

FourWinds's avatar

I think the lawsuits will be the only thing that eventually shuts this "trans" crap down. Certainly none of these doctors, counselors, or teachers have a single moral in them, but I'm betting hitting them financially will make a difference.

Hannahlehigh's avatar

We can hope that works, these kids are in danger.

When I first heard about this 'transitioning' from one sex to another, my first question was how 'they' could do a switch biologically and make it work? Well! We all know 'they' can't. And that it is a fraud outright based in insanity, profit motive, 'transform' America, mind control or whatever. Fraud plain and simple, not to mention Evil.
