I remember when the Navy said they would start mixing crews on their ships. Alistair Cooke pointed out the numerous problems that might arise, particularly the sexual fraternization, which would inevitably take place, and the resultant pregnancies. The ship's moral would be badly effected.
The feminists and media gave Cooke hell for his obvious and common-sense observations.

I remember reading in the mid-1990s, I think in the American Spectator, about a female Navy pilot who wanted to be a carrier pilot. Her ambition was certainly laudable, and she even had experience at one of the notorious Tailhook events (where she fit in well and did NOT complain). Sadly, she seemed to be a bit short on the ability (flying from a carrier is especially difficult), but the Patsy-whipped Navy passed her anyway. And then she crashed and died flying from a carrier. It was a tragic loss of someone who could have been quite useful elsewhere. But the people who passed her, and those who pushed it to happen (such as the infamous Putzy Schroeder), didn't care.

A small price to pay for progress. (As long as someone else is paying it.)

I don't know if this would count as sanity, but a Canadian court seems to have set a limit on the rubbish these perverts are able to demand from others. Waxing the Ugly ThingFrom the photo, this deviant should rather have his face waxed and then hardened into a more attractive mask.

I just read about this in the Daily Caller evening update, though I had previously heard about the case and feared the worst. Most likely the dysphoric man's behavior was so disgusting (he apparently lied about the events) that (much to my surprise) the result was a sane decision. The fact that the salon workers were black Brazilian immigrants may have contributed to this result.
It should be obvious even to the politically correct that someone who is trained to wax female genitals may lack skills in waxing male genitals even if the male claims to be a woman. This should never have been a case at all. But at least he now owes the 3 salon workers $2000 each -- though I wouldn't bet on him paying up.

Jim Goad at Takimag, gives a wonderfully pity definition of leftism.
Since leftism is little more than an attempt to invert the moral paradigm—to sanctify everything once considered profane and to demonize everything once considered sacred—it has stretched out its Big Tent way beyond capacity to embrace fat people, too.

Goad has made a very succinct estimation. I hope I can remember it well enough to use it in the future. It's basically the same point I've made, but better made.

Since leftism is little more than an attempt to invert the moral paradigmThat is ok, but it is talking around the problem. The ideology of the left is not rational, and their adherents do not come to it by any rational means. That means we are attempting to have a rational argument with people whose views are formed by irrational process. In order to counter them we must defeat them, not just once but every time they rise out of their self-inflicted sewers. When there is violence, and there will be, they must suffer defeat. There is no alternative.

Well, I think the inversion is an accurate description. I gather you're thought is that leftists do this out of an emotional rejection of social traditions rather than on some rational basis. That makes sense. If they were behaving rationally, they probably wouldn't be so committed to sexual dysphoria.

When people are taking seriously the idea of giving kids drugs so that they can “transition” to another gender, we’re talking about something that has no easy definition: unless you just call it “evil.” And this is what I do.

Male tops U of Montana’s women’s cross-country teamThe comments section is predictable…predictably sensible, in this case. The two prevailing attitudes (which by no means are mutually-exclusive) are: 1) A pox on their house. This is what the feminists voted for and continue to enable. I’ll pop the popcorn while we watch things implode. 2) The women should not participate if a man is trying to compete against them as a woman and just leave him by himself at the starting line. I started a book on grammar that I found on the online library. It was highly rated. I couldn’t get through the introduction is was so badly written. What I’m trying to say is (Does he know? Does he know) is that the circuits of Nomad, the computer, from "The Changeling" would be smoking from the illogic of it all. The bizarre is becoming normal. Our sin is that we haven’t adapted to crazy yet. But think of the opportunities. If something as obvious as male and female is considered subjective, why can’t I declare myself a chimpanzee for purposes of paying taxes? Chimps and other monkeys (I know, I know) don’t pay taxes. But why can’t I identify as an ape? And if I was an older man who wanted to have sex with 16-year-old girls, why couldn’t I just identify as a 16-year-old boy? If an actual cock-and-balls is not an objective fact in this world, age would seem to be something surely less objective. As they say, you’re as young as you feel. Certainly in the present scheme of identity fluidity, one could be as young as you identify. For the record, I’m a Bonobo. For a monkey, they’re a little more refined. But they still are not required to send in a 1040 form to the IRS every year.

I sympathize with the idea of leaving the sexually dysphoric male to compete against nobody. Of course, there are usually prizes for the top 3 performers, so as long as there aren't that many pretend women, at least one real women can hope to win a prize, and in a sense they're competing for that.
Since MeTV had "I, Mudd" on much more recently than "The Changeling" (I saw both), perhaps we should just say, "Norman, coordinate." I don't think it will work, though. We're deeply into what Heinlein, in one of his future (or alternate) histories called the Crazy Years.
For example, SCOTUS is allowing Baltimore's suit against fossil-fuel energy companies to proceed. Many of us had the same idea: cut off all fossil fuels and all electricity from fossil fuels to Baltimore. If they consider them so irredeemably bad, let them do without.
I located the article about the last incident. Here is the link:

Mae West, who was a libertine, and what would be known as worldly wise, wrote the following:
“In many ways homosexuality is a danger to the entire social system of Western civilization. Certainly a nation should be made aware of its presence — without moral mottoes — and its effects on children recruited to it in their innocence. I had no objection to it as a cult of jaded inverts... involved only with themselves. It was its secret, anti-social aspects I wanted to bring into the sun. As a private pressure group it could, and has, infected whole nations."
Pretty clever for an actress.
The modern insanity regarding sex confusion, which pervades the West, has its roots in the push to normalize abnormal behavior between two males. It was and is an attack on our Judeo-Christian traditions, with the destruction of morality as its object.

Very interesting insights from Mae West. So basically when homosexuality is a sideshow, it’s harmless and maybe even “cute.” But when it becomes the main act, it’s toxic.

I have to admit that has been pretty much my attitude toward homosexuality, although I would probably use the adjective "curious" instead of "cute." It is only over the last few years that I have become more strident in this area.
Homosexuality in small doses may appear exotic, but one can leave the circus tent once one has seen enough. The moment the back-stage contents of the tent start flooding onto the street and pushing out normal life, is the moment we must start to force the exotics back into their unnatural hot-house habitat and do our best to keep them there.

True, but the nuts are increasing here as well.
I think the mother and her lawyers should be taken out and publicly humiliated. This is a situation which cannot be allowed to stand.

I just came across this article and if you scroll do a bit, you will see that the boy in question has a twin brother. After seeing this, I can't help but wonder if this whole thing is about the mother wanting to have a boy and a "girl."
