And remember, kiddies, you must tell the bearded man he looks like a princess.

Oh God, the laugh.

Every little helps. 🙂

Apt, as the word “porcine” does come to mind.
Meanwhile, and not unrelated, having taken offense at a sticker, Officer Ersatz Plod proceeds to give a lecture on transphobia.
This guy, despite unfounded fears, approves.

It was oddly quiet this morning. Thought you’d all buggered off. Or were pretending to work.

ThreadReaderApp is very useful that way.

I watched the vid with sound off.
I thought the ‘teacher” was a child.
Sound on, I found I was right.

Don’t try to make sense of the article.
The last vestige of sanity at the Atlantic died with editor Michael Kelly. After he was killed in Iraq, the leftists finished transforming the magazine into just another propaganda organ.

I thought the “teacher” was a child.
Well, in terms of the implied adult-child dynamic – and specifically, a teacher-pupil dynamic – it’s not, I think, ideal, though as seen in the links upthread, it’s pretty much a default, a signature of the type. And the kind of neediness on display – from the supposed adult in the room – doesn’t fill one with great confidence. In much the same way that if a teacher of small children were dysmorphic in some other regard – say, in terms of their weight – and insisted that the class refer to them, continually, as being too fat, when in reality they are worryingly thin – and directed them to “correct” any children who noticed otherwise – one might find this a little… odd. And rather inapt.

That. How the hell did we get here so quickly?
Akshullly…it really wasn’t all that quick. Some of us have tried to bring attention to this sort of nonsense and similar related for decades but were dismissed as needing psychological help. Who’s crazy now?

Ignoring that she would require a steel park bench, I have a better idea. At the check in there is a standard seat, if you can’t fit, you pay by the pound and fly as cargo.

It’s the triple pig rings…
Indeed. The thing is, she’s at base not unattractive. I could not sit through much of that because at base, take out the pig rings and slim her down to her appropriate, God-intended size..ok even leave a few extra pounds for the…uh…well she looks, especially in the eyes, like an ex-girlfriend I once had. It is incredibly sad what we are doing to a generation. And have done to a less extent to a previous generation as well.

Well, OK, it is nice, but I’ve been to Edinburgh and wouldn’t call it the “best”.

ccscientist: if I had to hazard a guess, it would be because at least subconsciously they’re expecting at any moment that someone comes in, tells them that they desperately need help, and takes them for a badly-needed psych evaluation.

I’m assuming we can call this “social justice.” And the lady’s contribution, around 56 seconds in, is not unappreciated.

WTF is going on there. I think it indicates something about their internal state.
Psychogenic movement disorder.

That is actually blood-boiling and creepy.
It’s quite remarkable. As I said somewhere on Twitter, it has a through-the-looking-glass quality.
A woman who has been raped and is, understandably, uneasy about cross-dressing men venturing into female-only intimate spaces, including changing rooms, showers, and rape support groups, is patronised and scolded – at length, on her own doorstep, by a female police officer – for not believing that “trans women are women.” And the police officer, this rambling fool, the one doing the patronising, is the one who claims to be offended. On behalf of dysmorphic and autogynephile men.
“You’ve got in your head that a trans woman is not a woman. You need to educate yourself,” says she.
In another context, it could pass for black comedy.

That is actually blood-boiling and creepy.
I’m curious: Would it have been an arrestable offense for me to tell the officer that she was a fascist goon, that I didn’t want to hear any more of her lies, and that she should f*** off while I got on with my day, and then shut the door in her face?

Paraphrasing, not unlike Jehovah’s Witlesses…
Except that in my few encounters with Jehovah’s Witnesses, they have always been unfailingly polite.

I dunno, might need to disorient submarines in the stairwell.

It’s the cognitive dissonance.
If you poke through transgender TikTok, it’s revealed inadvertently many, many times. From countless unconvincing smiles to the brittle grimaces of Mr Jeffrey Marsh.
But as with so much else, we’re not supposed to notice.

You can add “pointing out that people who engage in serial visible self-mutilation are not well”
Indeed, and if you scroll down, you can see this guy is going to get some more. There are some “medical professionals” who need to lose licenses over this sort of thing.

Meanwhile in Tuscaloosa
Why do they ALL sound like that? What makes them all sound like camp, mincing ninnies?

I think it is just because they are poor mimics they exaggerate what they think they see in real women
Much as some of the lesbians I used to know were clearly exaggerating what they thought they saw in men.

Turd in puch bowl as foretold.
Yep, here he has a sad, bunch of damn Tuscaloosa Transphobes, but why is it all these “trans” guys have such slobbed out rooms?

It could indeed make a great black comedy.
I reckon Joe Orton would have been able to take the piss out of these cognitively challenged folks in a suitably savage fashion.
