May the day come when we can state a simple fact, such as biology is real and women are women, without being shouted down.

Well done. Thank you. I keep hoping that those who understand the issue will reclaim the language and use "sex" not "gender" whenever biological sex is meant - even in allegories. Changes in society start with changes in language. We've all witnessed that. Imagine the different conversations we would be having today if "sex" had not been corrupted. God bless you all.

Beautifully articulated- this moved my heart for all of our deceived adult children- we will never give up hope for them to awaken to the truth about their identity

Thank you for this creative take on the story. Well done. I hope the creative process somehow helped you as you to face this heartbreaking thing that has happened to your family. I find that sometimes the resulting clarity of processing it - just knowing that my feet are still on the solid ground of reality - can give me strength.

We in the GC world often reference "The Emperor's New Clothes" fable as we navigate the real-life version we're experiencing. My guess is that the original story must have been created by someone who had observed this happening before in some way and tried to warn people to watch out for the societal weakness in order to avoid repeating it. I would also guess that most modern people grew up hearing the fable... and yet here we are again! And it's even worse because, in the original story, the consequence was just a lot of embarrassment. In our current real-life version, the consequence is people's lives and bodies egregiously harmed.

This. Is. Awesome. Thank you so much for this. It is so plain to see.

Dude! I see what you see: “The Emperor’s New Clothes” Redux" January 28, 2026 PITT.

What a brilliant (and now obvious to me) analogy. I don't know why the classic story didn't occur to me before.

The Emperor is Naked. And we are all sick of the gaslighting for we have suffered extraordinarily because of it. The Bible tells the story of Daniel and his companions being thrown to the furnace for refusing to worship Baal. We refuse to worship the god of the rainbow. Coincidentally Baal was the god of weather. Funnily enough the rainbow is a weather phenomenon. Thank you but no thank you. I don’t worship Baal or the rainbow

Exactly our reality. With no end in sight.

“The child had not expressed hatred or malice. The child had merely stated what seemed obvious.”

Except when that “obvious” is expressed, it is instantly turned into accusations of hatred and malice.

Hence the eggshells I so lightly tread every day.

Very well-written piece. My heart is with you.

Seems there's a SCIENTIFIC question missing here: "What is the scientific, or medical, or genetic, or factual basis for so-called "trans"? HOW does a male person get created in a female body? HOW does a female person get created in a male body?

I'm glad that I saw the comment from David Edwards below, BEFORE I posted this comment.

Here's my new quote, thanks to David Edwards:

"So-called "Trans ideology" is parasitic, it's a parasite of the mind"....

Trans nonsense can only have been generated to destroy the host organism, just like every other liberal trope.

Follow the animal kingdom and nature. God designed a perfect environment which man has attempted to destroy

It’s a fantastic tool to disrupt any shred of worker solidarity, class consciousness and women’s liberation. Whatever CIA glowie who started this sh!t when the second wave started to get a little too uncomfortably close to class, was a genius

The spooks don’t even have to do anything anymore. Log onto x, write some obnoxious sh!t like “God is a woman, and a🚂woman at that! Eve wasn’t cis”, think for a second that maybe this one is a little too unhinged? Ah no, in 15min there’s half gazillion likes and the president wrote back to it, and then the Dems wrote some more, and etc

The spook calls his supervisor and puts in for a year’s paid vacation. Maybe next year the peons might need some other ridiculous issue to take over the news and govt for another year, while Bezos and Musk compete to see who gets to be a quatrillionaire faster while 3/4 of the planet starve.

There’s no food, but at least the most dangerous man you know can get a clean slate by declaring he’s an oppressed woman. Priorities.

We must start at the elementary or even the preschool level to remove the lunatics from the educational system and return the education system to the basics. Whoever wrote that article is a dangerous idiot and co-conspirator if even one moron believes it. Those penguins are too intelligent and perfect by natures/God’s design.

The adolescent packs of young people usually lose the idiotic ideas when separated from the groups

My local paper this morning, had a story about the 2 "gay" penguins at the Brookfield Zoo-Chicago. They were described as "LGBTQ+ penguins". The original story is from the Chicago Tribune, by-lined by Rebecca Johnson. FYI, FWIW, omg, omg, omg....

Ana Jones's avatar

Some animals are “gay”, as in, don’t mate and are “friends” for life instead, as an evolutionary advantage for when there’s too few females for too many offspring, so the “uncle penguins” help instead of fighting each other to mate with the dwindling females.

Or something like that, I read it forever ago.

Not that they’re gay. You can’t have a “gay” animal same as you can’t have a “trans” baby, but these people have to validate absurd things in order to hold up the ideology. I wonder if they know that that’s what they’re doing

This is animal abuse
