A Catchable Madness

March 25, 2025 132 Comments

Or, The Cronenberg Chronicles.

This not a field of medicine guided by evidence. This is a field of medicine guided by politics.

Below, Peter Boghossian and Mia Hughes, author of The WPATH Files, discuss the twisted history of transgender ideology. Topics touched on include the audacious propagation of pseudoscience; social contagion and the capture of institutions; experiments on children; and the psychology of doubling-down.

 

It’s two hours long and dense with detail, but much of that detail is likely to widen the eyes. It’s possibly worth noting, as Ms Hughes does around 01:16:00, that as the trans phenomenon has flourished – if that’s quite the right word – rates of anorexia and cutting have fallen, suggesting some correlation. Perhaps some shifting fashion, a swapping of self-harm signals. Given the subject matter and its realities, the squeamish may wish to proceed with caution.

A continuation of the discussion above – covering the abandonment of rigour and basic professionalism, surgical horrors, and the “insane experiment” of puberty suppression – can be found here.

Previously: The Bedlamite Contagion. From which, this:

On the subject of WPATH, a thread. In which, the destruction of a person’s genitals, and the consequent, permanent loss of sexual function, and a lifetime of pain and medical dependency, is equated with the extraction of a wisdom tooth.

Do note the self-satisfied smirk.

You see, it’s just an “adventure.” One in which the surgeons share, albeit, for them, temporarily. Not for a lifetime.

The surgeon referring to phalloplasty as an “adventure” – i.e., destroying the female genitals and attaching a grotesque, non-functional parody of penis – something like this or this – later admits that the procedure will “definitely” have permanent, ongoing complications, including incontinence and necrosis. That cadaverine stench.

It occurs to me that one of the reasons some people are reluctant to be realistic about the issue is that they might then have to consider the possibility that an entire, supposedly affirming industry – one worth close to a billion dollars a year and projected to reach five billion by the end of the decade – is exploiting mentally ill people, including children, and experimenting on them.

Those lovely surgical adventures.

This, then, is where we are. Doesn’t seem a good place to be, frankly.

Catching Their Good Side

March 19, 2025 121 Comments

Speaking of spite as progressive pseudo-piety:

“We are so mentally unstable, and so nakedly vindictive, that if you even own a car of which we suddenly disapprove, we will violate your property and make you feel unsafe.”

Odd message to send, really.

For people who imagine themselves the good guys in their own mental drama.

Lifted from the comments, which you’re reading, of course.

Consider this an open thread.

Update, via the comments:

Rafi adds,

When you’re scratching swastikas on a Jewish guy’s car you’re probably not the good guy you think you are.

Yet apparently it needs saying.

And setting aside for a moment the weird random malice, there’s the more mundane oversight. A Tesla has eight external cameras which record any untoward activity while alerting the owner. The odds of being identified, in high definition, and consequently prosecuted, are fairly high. Yet the people doing the keying and daubing tell us, loudly and quite often, that they’re the smart ones. Our moral and intellectual betters.

It’s not just the conceit that vandalising some random person’s car is a thing one should do as a good person, as an act of righteousness. Bewildering as that is. It’s the idea of doing that to a make of car that’s famed for its ability to record anything that approaches. Which suggests a level of emotional dysregulation, of total impulse control failure, that’s quite hard to relate to.

Via Aitch, another one. With man-bun bonus.

More deep thinkers of a progressive persuasion.

I fear we’ll be at this at all day.

Oh wait.

We may have a winner:

Oversharing

March 9, 2025 40 Comments

Lifted from the comments, two scenes of very modern divulging. 

First up, a behatted chap informs us that “women have many features.” In describing such features, much is revealed:

“People criticize me for dating a trans woman. Saying that I am a homosexual for doing so.”

Does this make him gay? pic.twitter.com/OR1a965u6U

Also, the question: “You can’t push it to the side?” 

And because more can always be shared, a blue-haired mother discusses her son’s penis with a room full of strangers:

“Medically, on paper, she is girl. She is just as much a girl as any other girl in the school. So she has a penis, guess what? It’s flaccid. 90% of the time it’s flaccid.”

-Mom testifies AGAINST protecting girls sports & providing them privacy.

Readers will doubtless have noted the remarks on turgidity and percentages, and may have calculated that ten percent of twenty-four hours is two hours and twenty-four minutes, which, regarding the phenomenon in question, is not an insignificant amount of time. Readers may also wonder by what motherly means this knowledge of arousal was arrived at.

Readers may even have theories as to how the son of this particular mother, the one with blue hair and extensive tattoos, came to be so unsure of who and what he is. 

Consider this an open thread.

Anthropology Dating Decisions

His Hypothetical Partner

February 17, 2025 61 Comments

From that organ of Our Betters – the New York Times Magazine – a question of throbbing import:

As a White Man, Can I Date Women of Colour to Advance My Antiracism?

Because intimate relationships, even love, must, it seems, have political utility. It’s like dating, but For The Cause.

I’m a straight white dude and recent college grad who has very progressive beliefs and is looking for a committed partner who, in time, can equitably raise a family with me. I have almost zero honest-to-goodness physical preferences.

However,

I want to prioritise dating women of colour… I believe very strongly that one of the main ways to combat racism is through relationships.

Again, note the subordination of attraction, love, a lifelong bond, to a predetermined political goal. Readers are welcome to speculate as to how a sufficiently brown and exotic mate might regard her supposed utility as a tool to “combat racism.” Being a component of someone else’s strategy.

Both I and my hypothetical partner of colour would be choosing more learning and less comfort, to put forth greater effort and practice more listening, than we otherwise would in a culturally homogeneous committed relationship.

Oh, there’s more:

Part of me thinks that I will always be somewhat disappointed if what ends up becoming one of the most important relationships in my life is with another white person.

I know, ladies. He’s such a catch. You’re ovulating as I type.

If someone is a woman of colour, that checks a box for me in a real way. I am seeking to be antiracist in all my relationships.

One might call that neuroticism. Or a warning sign.

Part of the reason that I prioritise it is to combat implicit bias, having grown up in a fairly white, quasi rural place. I am dedicated to educating myself on issues of racism, sexism and other forms of kyriarchy while also learning from marginalised people.

And so, the language of amour now includes the terms implicit bias and kyriarchy. Oh silver-tongued charmer. If readers sense the presence of an elaborate, rather contrived sorting fetish, well, hold that thought.

For me, principles lead the way to attractions. I start by eating a food or adopting a habit because it’s good for me, and after trying it enough times, I find I really like it for what it is. The same applies to people I’m considering dating.

And what woman wouldn’t be charmed by the comparison with sprouts, kale, and other bitter foods? You see, ladies, if he can overcome the initial revulsion, and if he can suppress the gag reflex for long enough, he may, in time, find you palatable. You’d be the fibre in his diet.

Update:

If the contortions above sound familiar, you may be thinking of this item here. In which, Melissa Fabello, a “community educator” and former editor of Everyday Feminism, insists that “when you’re a white person in an interracial relationship, there’s this whole – ohhh, ya know – white supremacy thing hanging in the air.” A “white supremacy thing” that “has to be acknowledged – and dealt with – constantly.”

Ms Fabello’s ideal interracial relationship is, it turns out, one based on mutual awkwardness and regular confessions of “whiteness,” and in which any sexual activity “should be considered in relation to social power.” Which, again, does rather suggest an elaborate fetish. A weird, neurotic kink.

Oh, and according to Ms Fabello, if your partner-of-colour’s family-of-colour don’t want to meet you, a person of pallor, or have you in their home, then, obviously, this is all your fault. Because “you represent an oppressive system” by “virtue of your privileges.”

Such are the agonies of the pious.
