Bad Thoughts
In other we’re-letting-the-mentally-ill-teach-your-children news:
The teacher in question, a dysmorphic man named Ashlee Renczkowski, is apparently prone to “phases of depression,” and was, in his words, “having bad thoughts.” And hence of course the comments about shooting the children in his care, grades six through eight, presumably with the three firearms in his possession. The ostensible cause of this rather severe mood swing was a social media post in which unnamed people were “talking negatively” about Mr Renczkowski’s sexuality and professed womanhood.
And any reservations about Mr Renczkowski are, clearly, unfounded.
When not “feeling cute and beautiful” and exploring the possibilities of a “zero-depth vaginoplasty,” Mr Renczkowski boasts of “giving students a safe place.”
Some ironies are just a little too on-the-nose.
Mr Renczkowski has since been removed from the school and his weapons confiscated.

Belonging to a social system (tribe, nation, church) and a general social construct (work hard, don’t hit people, don’t steal) can provide a foundation for your life.
The word “community” gets thrown around a lot today to the extent that it has become meaningless. I was going through my mother’s effects when she passed in February and found our Church’s annual yearbook. There were family pictures of the entire congregation and a list of the names, addresses and phone numbers of every church member. That was a real community. You could put a name to a face and you could reach out to real people.
Sadly, I don’t attend much church these days so I’m not sure if the practice has continued, but it made me better understand what it means to actually belong to a community as opposed to a racial/political/gender/sexual preference demographic group.
Steve E: exactly. You hear the Left talk about “community” constantly but what they mean is a racial/sexual/etc. demographic.They want community as in “commune”.
Introspection is what the self-absorbed would have you think they are doing.
Many things are traumatizing, not really; upsetting or uncomfortable, yes.
The shrink definition of trauma is a response to a “terrible” event, and PTSD to an “extremely terrible event” (being blown up, caught in a tornado, assaulted (sexual or otherwise), etc), but in our self diagnostic therapeutic culture people have taken it to mean near any thing to include hurt feelings, library fines, and maybe being caught in the rain without a rain coat.
As such “PTSD”, self diagnosed or by dodgy shrinks/social workers/etc, is more and more wrongly being used as an excuse for any any and all bad or aberrant behavior.
Introspection seems to also be conflated with focusing on intromission.
Speaking of delusions…
Steve E: exactly. You hear the Left talk about “community” constantly but what they mean is a racial/sexual/etc. demographic.They want community as in “commune”.
Exactly. For the left, community means government. Remember Hillary Clinton’s “it takes a village to raise a child”, which she and the entire Democrat Party perverted from a truism about family and neighborly ties into a fascistic assertion of government authority over child rearing?

We now live in a world where self-diagnosed stress, depression, long-Covid (the new kid in the block having replaced ME), ADHT (the kiddies get out of jail free card) etc etc are used to justify thousands if not millions of slackers choosing to sit at home on their arses watching daytime tv or playing video games rather than working and getting paid for it.

Hard to say, the computers don’t have chips, they have crisps.
East Enders might use Ewoks and Wookies. Well, the geeky ones anyway.

From the comment thread:
My Mensa friends have not yet figured that out. They are still stuck on “trans women are really women because they have female brains” or something like that. All that IQ, and they’re wasting it on fantasies and fads.
Bimbo, as they say. OK, just that one guy. But he was smart. In a movie sense. Anyway…Smart people are going to get us all killed one day. It’s all part of their desperate effort to prove to us how bloody smart they are. What I’ve never completely understood is why, if they are so smart, do they have this overwhelming need to show us how smart they ‘really’ are.
Smart people are generally smart and knowledgable in just one narrow area. And in everything else are no smarter or wiser than the general populace.

In what way does ‘misgendering’ differ from truth telling?
Well, that will depend on whether you mean plain truth or Revolutionary Truth.
