Wednesday was a golf day. I met my buddy at his club. Usually, when it’s slow, no one joins us, but yesterday, a 25-year-old guy asked if he could join us. Of course, we said yes; saying no is rude.
Pleasantries were exchanged, and “golf stories” started. I mentioned that I played golf with Bruce Jenner many years ago and launched into a joke.
Bruce Jenner and another guy walked up to me and my buddy and asked if they could join us. We, of course, said yes. This was right after Jenner had won a gold medal, and we recognized him. My playing partner was really good (likely a 2 handicap) and I was not that great, but not bad. Jenner was not good. He was pounding his drives but usually slicing into Nowhere land.
In any case, we both scored better than Bruce. The “line” at the time was that we both beat the best athlete in the world. Now Bruce is named Caitlyn.
On Wednesday, I told that golf story and added that we can no longer say we beat the best athlete in the world; now, all we can say is, “we beat a girl.”
The guy who asked to play with us didn’t find that funny.
He began by telling us that “her name is Caityln”. I said, yeah, his name was “Bruce at the time, and he’s still a guy”. He then said, “She is a pretty good golfer now,” and shoehorned in as many female pronouns in a 15-second story about caddying for “her” that he could manage. It was kind of impressive but still absurd. He must have used “she and “her” about 20 times as I deadpanned a “Sure Jan” look.
His meaning was clear. Jenner was a “she”. At least to him.
On the 8th hole he shanked a couple of shots out of bounds and quit. He fist-pumped my buddy, and kind of waved me off.
It was my very first in-person exchange with someone who was clearly a card-carrying disbeliever in biology and reality.
During the State of Union Address, President Trump mentioned the abomination of transitioning (aka: mutilating) children. He mentioned that it should be banned in every state. Democrats, of course, sat on their hands.
Jenner decided to mutilate himself when he was an adult. That was his decision. He had a right to do that. He was an adult. He changed his name. He had a right to do that. He was an adult. he wears women’s clothes, and cakes on makeup. Again, his choice.
If I met Jenner I would call him “Caitlyn” because that is his legal name. What I would not do is call him, “her”. Why? Because Jenner’s biology didn’t change with mutilation. His chromosomes are the same. Jenner is a man – yes without balls or a penis but he is still, a man.
Jenner is no more a woman than I am a porcupine.
Although the fad of pronouns and pretending that a person can change their gender with a wave of their hand is waning, there are still adherents to the cult of mental illness.
Women and girls have taken the brunt of this cult of delusion. Men and boys pretending to be girls and women have muscled into female sports and taken scholarships, medals and recognition from females. Although that is bad enough, California is the epicenter of crazy. In that state, the state can take your child away if you don’t affirm the child’s delusion. Imagine if a child came home, claiming they were a Dalmatian and if you didn’t start barking at your child, and feeding them kibbles, the state of California could step in, and take your child away, because you refused to accept a mental delusion as reality.
The tide seems to be changing, and people are beginning to see that they don’t have to be bullied into calling a man, a woman simply because they claim that are.
Dogs can’t turn into cats, and men cannot turn into women. Although Democrats can (and do) dress up in frog costumes they are no more frogs, or fish than I am.
The question remains – will Democrats detransition from Kool Aid drinking, biology-denying whack-jobs back into reality? Probably not. They are too invested in cosplaying as frogs and furies.
