Introducing ‘Gender Constancy’
‘ . . . the development of gender constancy (i.e., the notion of the permanence of categorical sex) is a precursor to conformity with culturally-defined gender norms; in other words, gender cognitions precede gendered behaviour (i.e., ‘I am a boy, therefore I want to behave like a boy.’).Kenny ‘O'Connor . . . . has been a dedicated disability rights activist for over eight years . . . ’But ‘ . . . he spends 98% of his time at home walking around . . . ’Stevens Chapter Five of Inventing Transgender Children and Young People – Kenny’s chapter – may be the most useful thing you read this year. Kenny explains that ‘gender constancy’ – knowing that you are a boy or a girl – is a state that children attain in stages over some years. Now, before we proceed, let’s note an historical reality: the political left has a nasty history of using humans as grist to its mill: oppression today for a...
SPECIAL WEEKEND THOUGHT: 👉 Unintentional Meditation 📖
“My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promises.” (Psalm 119:148 NIV)“I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.” (Psalm 143:5 NIV)Typically when thinking about meditation, my mind pictures individuals sitting quietly in a dark, perhaps candle-lit rooms, with some new age music playing in the background, trying to clear their minds. However, this is not the type of meditation I want to focus us on. That meditation is intentional.Instead, for this weekend's thought, let's think of meditation as a specific type of focus - a type of focus that pushes other thoughts away.As I look out at the culture today, or even at my own life, there are various categories of things that attract focus. In past years, this focus may have included celebrities, movies, television shows, and/or sports. In...
Have you heard the Word?
Did you hear about the explosion at that cheese factory in France? It covered the whole region in de Brie.Yup.I begin to realize the right question isn't "Who?" but "What?" Not "Who are we?" but "What are we? - What am I?" It might seem to be splitting hairs, at first. Maybe it is. Posed in this way, the question is "What is my nature?" Asking in this way avoids the expectation of finding somebody in particular - Me. Even if it is a subtle distinction, subtlety seems right for it. Objectivity removes the expectation. What I find is nothing like what I had expected. Of course I did have expectations. There really isn't any way to get rid of them completely. Experience is colored by this persistent idea of Me. Even in memory, "Who" is remembering - "Who" is remembered?" Me? Do I know this? No. It's a belief, not a knowing. But let's not look into memories right now - that's a whole...
The one thing that unite everyone.
As far as i can tell, and i been searching for “the exceptions that prove the rule” without finding it, the only thing everyone agree upon is that less consumtion is not on the table.It’s actually quite amusing to see how humans silently agree to avoid topics that could affect our personal comfort while the elephants stands waving their trunks furiously in the middle of the room.
Beware Your 'Messiahs'
Be warned. There are wolves in sheep clothing and superhero capes amongst the people. One of the things they often do is tell you something monumental is being done about these Evils. It just leads to people waiting and doing nothing and waiting. And the longer you wait, the more you just get used to Evil. Because, as you are waiting, 'life goes on', and you compensate for whatever you are being put through by accessing other means to make life more livable; making do with what you got; having reduced expectations of other people whom are similarly waiting; have reduced expectations and aspirations yourself; and teach the young to do the same. The fact is, one can't put up with something frustrating unless one ceases to find it frustrating by 'getting on with your own life'. That's when you become one with it. And that's when you are transformed into just accepting 'the changing...
A Better World Through Toxins
A Better World Through ChemicalsDear Friends,It seems to me, if someone wanted to implement central planning, a most effective way to do it would be to poison the kids with a neurotoxin, like fluoride, to lower their IQ to the point they can be manipulated like tools. Add to that lowering of IQ in the general population, an education system that confuses instead of teaches, and you have created a population ripe for the picking. Lets face it, someone who doesn’t understand how electricity works, how to plant a garden or if they are a boy or girl, is someone more suited to the cave man lifestyle, than living in the twenty first century. Made possible by our “education” system and poisoning our water supply. If that bound to be downtrodden person then, is distracted and manipulated, they are made into their own worse enemy.People who would be central planners are not held back by mere...
