Women Hold Sign, Quietly, Pinocchio Gets Upset
From the comments, scenes from Smith College, Massachusetts:

It turns out that when you try to pretend away fundamental realities, as if wishing made it so, any reminder of those realities has to be repressed or erased, or at least shouted at quite loudly.
I believe this was the scene that prompted the meltdown.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
“We’re all Democrats.” 🤣
But you’re not ALLOWED to have opinions. Only they/them are.
First of all, the bowl haircut flatters no one.
Second, her visceral rage is obvious, and I suspect it originates in a much deeper place than her displeasure with an opposing opinion.
Well, quite.
When a women’s college, a college whose ostensible function is to empower women, is honouring a cross-dressing man as if he were in fact a woman, the surrealism is hard to miss. Not least when the man in question is an advocate of drugging and mutilating children. And I can see how some might regard that pretence and what it implies as undermining the stated function of the college. Hence the ladies with the sign.
I am, however, having more difficulty understanding the reactiveness of Little Miss Pinocchio, who does seem to imagine an entitlement to suppress the perceptions of other people. Presumably on grounds that no-one must see the glaringly obvious. Along with some imagined monopoly on the right to have opinions, the right to be affronted – say, by the aforementioned pretence or the drugging and mutilation of children.
That.
She’s not making the case she thinks she is.
Walkabout.
Well, it does seem to be an illustration of the fact that if you require continual, universal affirmation – if you need everyone else to pretend something vividly untrue – then you’re unlikely to be happy. The best you could hope for is to surround yourself with people who are willing to lie to you.
It’s worth mentioning, I think, that the trans-identified people I’ve spoken with or seen who seem most content are the ones who can concede the reality of the situation, and who can juggle that reality with their preference to live as if they were the opposite sex, while knowing that they aren’t.
They don’t seem prone to the explosions of bedlamite rage seen above.
