Saturday Sanity Check
For everyone who reads the news and wonders, "Is it me? Or has the whole world gone insane?"
TRANS ideology demands that we smile and nod in agreement with blatant lies.
It insists that we suspend reality. And it swiftly punishes anyone who dares to assert obvious truths.
Jordan Peterson learned this when he had the temerity to out point during the week that actor Elliott Page was a woman.
Peterson’s Twitter account was promptly suspended.
The Canadian psychologist had been reacting to a New York Times article that announced Page’s character in the third season of Umbrella Academy would come out as trans.
Ellen Page shot to fame playing a girl struggling with teenage pregnancy in the 2007 movie Juno.
In 2020 Ellen announced she was going to become a man named Elliott.
(Hot Tip: In order to not commit the crime of ‘dead watching’ while viewing the movie Juno, you must think “Elliott Page” when you see the name “Ellen Page” in the credits)
Page - who is easily the most convincing 5'1" petite man I've ever seen - told the New York Times she was excited that her real life trans experience would be represented by the character she plays in the popular Netflix series.
Peterson tweeted:
“Remember when pride was a sin? And [Elliot] Page just had [his] breasts removed by a criminal physician.”
The tweet was clever. By using brackets Peterson reminded everyone that “Ellen” was a “her” without ever using the the words “Ellen” or “her”.
The Woke gender bender enforcers at Twitter’s head office were not impressed.
They told Peterson:
We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules. Specifically for “Violating our rules against hateful conduct.
“You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.”
Telling the truth is now “hateful conduct”.
There is no way to tweet a factual statement about transgenderism without being suspended.
Peterson said he would “rather die than delete the tweet”.
Fair call. When you agree to say that up is down in order to please tech companies and to placate Wokey Hollywood stars, you’re dead anyway.
THE Queensland Government is considering changes to the law that would allow people to legally change gender on their birth certificate every 12 months.
The proposal, reported in the Daily Mail, would seem to turn everything we have been told by the trans lobby on its head.
We have been bludgeoned into accepting that we must let people change gender because they supposedly have a fixed gender identity at odds with their biological sex.
“A woman trapped in a man’s body,” they say.
And yet the proposed law suggests that a person’s inner gender identity can change every 12 months!
So is inner gender identity fixed? Or is it open to constant change?
Me: “So I was born a biological man. Then I realised I was a woman trapped in a man’s body. But recently I’ve come to discover that I’m a cat trapped in a woman’s gender identity now stuck in a man’s body that’s been surgically altered to mimic a woman.”
Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages: “Would you like that on the standard certificate for $52.60, or on a commemorative certificate for $68.35?”
Me: “Meow.”
I’m not making this up. The proposed laws would allow people to choose any descriptor for their gender, excluding numbers, symbols or offensive words of course.
So I could change my birth certificate to read:
Surname: Macpherson
Given Name: James
Sex: Eggplant
The change would be permitted so long as I was and 16 or over and had one person who could testify that they had known me as an eggplant for at least 12 months.
If it helps, I am happy to testify that I have known the current Queensland Premier to be a complete nutcase for the past seven years.
Anyway, a Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney-General spokesman said the changes being considered would 'improve recognition for trans and gender diverse people'.
Really? You’re going to “improve recognition” by formally recognising people as someone or something unrecognisable.
In last Saturday’s Sanity Check I wrote about this Toronto Police announcement …
Calling Isobella a woman made recognition almost impossible at the very time Isobella most needed to be recognised!
The Queensland Department of inJustice Wokesman continued …
'Consideration is being given to additional options to allow same sex couples to register as mother/mother or father/father, if they choose to.’
All of this would make birth certificates completely meaningless.
They might as well just go ahead and change them from birth certificates to feelings certificates.
SOME Australian politicians just can’t bear the thought of a free citizenry. Take former NSW Premier Bob Carr, for instance.
Bob is demanding the reintroduction of mandatory mask wearing after he had a close call with the Covid last weekend.
You can read the dramatic account of Bob’s lucky escape here …
Is showing you Covid test result still a thing?
As for Bob’s question - why aren’t we all wearing masks?
Well, I mean aside from the fact that they are of dubious value, incredibly uncomfortable, inhibitory of basic social functioning and that it’s completely irrational to live in fear of the sniffles … most of us have already had the Covid and survived!
If Bob’s still wearing a mask and still refusing to shake hands it’s highly likely he’s also boosted up the wazoo … and yet he’s STILL worried about catching the Covid!
It doesn’t say much for his faith in the Pfizer!
If Bob is so worried about catching and/or spreading Wu Flu it’s probably best he stays at home. You know, for everyone’s sake!
Just one question though. Where was Bob’s mask on June 7?
Oh, it’s masks from now on! Got it!
SPEAKING of bed-wetting politicians, Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles tweeted last weekend …
Stay safe? From what? Rain?
Does the government now think we need them to help us negotiate wet days?
Then again, you had better “stay safe out there” because in Mr Miles’ Queensland there won’t be any ambulances to help you if you really do get in trouble.
US GAS prices hit $5 a gallon for the first time last month.
But don’t worry. President Biden has it under control. He tweeted this week:
Or what?
GARY has been revealed as the most popular boys name in Saudi Arabia for 2022.
Not really. But Muhammad is the most popular UK baby boys name this year.
It beat out Noah, Jack, Theo, Leo, Oliver, George, Ethan, Oscar and Arthur which rounded out the top ten.
I can’t really see any problem here. It’s just a sign of the vibrant diversity that now comprises the United Kingdom.
Should we celebrate this wonderful diversity by seeing a movie?
Maybe not.
Ought we take our good mate Gary Kibble to the pub and drink a toast to British diversity?
Can’t find him.
Never mind. It’s just exciting that Noah, Jack, Theo, Leo, Oliver, George, Ethan, Oscar and Arthur will get to grow up in such a richly diverse country offering children so many opportunities to experience different cultures.
Never forget that no British Prime Minister was ever elected on a pledge to increase immigration, and no poll has ever shown more than 50% support for increased immigration.
Britain is being transformed. And the Brits were never asked.
PRIME MINISTER Anthony Albanese has blamed the NSW floods on climate change.
I blame it on the rain.
So do Milli Vanilli, but that’s another story.
Oh, and Dorothea Mackellar says hi. But I digress.
Mr Albanese told Sky News that the climate crisis would continue if action was not taken.
Here’s how it works …
Australia is responsible for around 1% of world emissions.
The government plans to reduce our emissions by 43% so that we will only be responsible for 0.57% of world emissions, and then the floods will stop.
Sounds like a solid policy to me.
You got it right at the start "has the whole world gone insane?" Yes, and I can't see it improving without more suffering to the point of collapse and then the realisation that this world is passing away. Thankfully our hope is beyond this world but it is still not easy being in this boat with powerful people drilling more and more holes every chance they can. At least James you point out the obsurdity of our times with a humorous twist.
As always, very informative,. I am thinking if Albo can change the climate from floods to drought, what will they call it then? The Great Australian Desert. It boggles my mind at how crazy things have gotten so fast. Definitely these people have been given over to a strong delusion
