This would be funny if it didn't so accurately reflect the madness of the world we are now living in.... i don't like it, I want to go back to the way things were before everything went bonkers.... and it's everywhere you look
Great analogy, very clever. If only the trans truth could be so easily recognized as nonsense. It is indeed frightening to think about "It's Time to Talk to Children" and what is really being said. I trust no one. I have never been a worrier, or afraid of what tomorrow might bring... but now I am terrified of what is happening in our country. The transgender lies. How did we get here? I identify as being SANE in this INSANE world. God help us!
Brilliant. And it is what's happening, with Ozempic ... I find some hope in the coalition building around The Red Team, even tho I'm from the left. It's much bigger than the controversial name at the top of the ticket. Calley and Casey Means, amazing people who used to work in big food and pharma, then became whistleblowers and know so much about the poisoning of food, getting children on the chronic disease treadmill, they're part of what wove Kennedy into the only party that has a chance of beating the side of complete regulatory capture, mandates with no informed consent, and no care about healthier children ...
Never thought I'd see a reversal like this, but, it's hapenning ...
I hope you’re correct; I’m really hoping that voters are so sick of being lied to and gaslit from & by our current power structure that they will no longer be casual with their vote. If the same regime gets voted in (all levels…national, state, town, local BOE) we will never correct course. It will only become more entrenched at all levels of society. I am in utter fear for the future of our children and our children’s children. This happened on our watch, it’s up to us to course correct.
This article is good satire! Gotta say, though, it's hard for me to laugh at this kind of thing now . . .
I've been trying to think back to my high school days (a long time ago now!). I don't remember anybody -- kids or adults -- talking about "identity" like they do now. I don't remember any "I identify as . . ." If you wanted to "be somebody" you had to work at it. If you wanted to be "a good student", you had to study seriously and get good grades. If you wanted to be "a basketball player", you had to work hard to develop your skills and make the team. If you wanted to be "a member of the school orchestra", you had to learn to play an instrument skillfully, work hard at rehearsals, and perform well at concerts. Even if what you wanted was just to be accepted as a member of a clique, you had to work at it.
Except for your racial/ethnic identity, identity was something you earned. There was no magical "I identify as . . ." statement that had the power to make other people treat you as you wished.
I suspect this is another area where social media has had a destructive effect. I think social media (particularly TikTok?) has multiplied the "power of pretend" and diminished the requirement to work hard and consistently at what you want to be in order to achieve a particular identity.
I'd be interested to hear what other parents think about this.
This sarcastic essay was funny and yet cringy in how close it mirrored the ridiculous identity discussions done to children. When my kids’ camp had a “state your gender identity round table” we wrote a letter to the camp and didn’t send the kids back after that.
This reminds me of a joke I told in my twenties (1990s) that I was born in the wrong family. I really should have been born as a trust fund baby. I guess I was ahead of my times.
Perfect! This essay illustrates the idiocy of gender ideology in all of its forms. I especially like the part about stating weight identities on name tags. Brilliant!

I’m physically beautiful but identify as ugly
This is brilliant.
What a great allegory!! LOL !! It's good to have a laugh/cry at the same time.
This makes total sense. We need to incorporate this in all schools.
This is fantastic!
exactly!
Brilliant! 💥❤️

"multiplied the "power of pretend"" Absolutely.
