Disney Faces Backlash From Normie Parents for Radical Stance on Grooming Children;<br>Will Transgenderism For Kids! (TM) Be the Waterloo for Wokeism?

Disney Faces Backlash From Normie Parents for Radical Stance on Grooming Children;
Will Transgenderism For Kids! (TM) Be the Waterloo for Wokeism?

Bad polling for Disney, if you can believe it, on the question of whether or not tiny children should be sexualized by bent weirdoes with fucked-up agendas.

This is even a loser with Democrats... though not as much of a loser as you'd think it would be:

For comparison, 76% of GOP voters said they were "much less likely" to do business" with Disney over this, with another 9.3% saying they're just "less likely" to do business with the House of Horrors.

Meanwhile, Disney's stock price is down. Now, I don't mean their stock price is down just based on recent events. I mean their stock price is down over the last six months or so.

But it's down about 30% over the past six months, for various reasons, including the lockdowns their Democrat pals forced on them, and including the relatively poor returns the M-She-U is showing in the theaters and in Disney Plus subscriptions.

That 30% fall in stock price is not all due to politics (although, in a way: weren't the endless lockdowns just political posturing to show "We Democrats Believe In Science, Unlike Trump?"). But some of it is politics.

And in any event: Disney does not need to create additional firestorms for itself when it's already set billions of company value on fire.

A couple of weeks ago, Kevin Downey, Jr. at PJ Media wrote an article called "A Victim Too Far: How Transgenders Will Bring Down the Lefty Marxists Who Want to Destroy America."

Indeed, while the Propriety-Focused, Status-Seeking Upscale Suburban Liberal-Leaning Former Republicans were willing to tolerate the cities being set on fire for an entire summer as some kind of Racial Performance Art, and then were willing to let their near-adult children be turned into violent, unkempt pansexual Zapatistas by the expensive drug-and-sex resorts laughingly called "universities," and then were willing to be physically menaced by the zombie legions of drug addicted mental homeless lunatics set free upon the streets to seek their own Equitable Redistributions against the working and middle classes -- it may just be that the sexual grooming of their kindergarteners, first-graders, and second-graders into homosexuality and transgenderism might finally have been a Woke Bridge Too Far for the bien pensants.

There are signs that even the Marxist propaganda media is beginning to have reconsider their role in what amounts to the first steps of re-running the 1968 German experiments in straight-up fucking the "bourgeois shame" out of very young children.

The LA Times actually dared to publish a transgender psychologist who now admits he's having second thoughts about "helping" so many children become trans. The Daily Caller:

Anderson, who claims to have helped hundreds of teenagers "transition," has considered leaving the field of transgender child psychology for fear of being associated with the "affirmative approach," according to the LA Times. The transgender psychologist said some medical practitioners are giving gender-confused children hormones and surgeries without thoroughly evaluating their mental health.
"This has gone too far. It's going to get worse. I don't want any part of it," Anderson told the LA Times.
Anderson insists patients undergo therapy and encourages youths to take their time and explore their identity before committing to sex change procedures, the LA Times reported. Other practitioners disagree with her approach.
...
Transgenderism has become trendy and young people influenced by social media are driving the massive uptick in people adopting trans identities, Anderson argued. Members of Generation Z were twice as likely to identify as transgender compared to millennials, three and a half times as likely as Generation X and more than twenty times as likely as Baby Boomers, according to a 2022 Gallup poll.
...
"To flatly say there couldn't be any social influence in formation of gender identity flies in the face of reality," Anderson told the LA Times. "Teenagers influence each other."
"What happens when the perfect storm -- of social isolation, exponentially increased consumption of social media, the popularity of alternative identities -- affects the actual development of individual kids?" Anderson said, according to the LA Times. "We're sailing in uncharted seas."

Indeed, there has been an explosion of kids suddenly self-diagnosing themselves with other mental illnesses that have become "trendy" and socially desirable, including dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder), Tourette's, and various species of "neuroatypical" disorders (Asperger's, autism, etc.) There are channels of popular teenagers who either have these illnesses or claim to have these illnesses -- and, wouldn't you know it, their followers suddenly self-diagnose as having the same illnesses, too.

In England, even weakling coward drip Boris Johnson has announced that parents must now be involved any time a child "decides" to change his or her gender.

And seriously, Boris Johnson is a weakling disaster. He was led to this; he is not leading.

"We will have a ban on gay conversion therapy which to me is utterly abhorrent, but there are complexities and sensitivities when you move from the area of sexuality to the question of gender and there I'm afraid there are things that still need to be worked out," Johnson said.

One of the sickest little ploys the trans extremists have pushed into this process is the idea that if you push back at all at an eight-year-old's single statement that he wants to be a girl, that constitutes a species of "gay conversion," which is actually illegal in many states.

So the Trans Train is, by law in many states, a one-way ride only -- you can only affirm and promote transgenderism. It's actually illegal in many states to say "Maybe you should think more about this" or "maybe you'll grow out of this."

Nope, once a kid says anything like that -- even if it was put into her head by, say, a teacher -- that kid has a One-Way Ticket to Trans Town and if you try to take her off the train, Child Protective Services will put her back on.

So that's why Johnson is making that distinction between the capability of making a choice.

"These are novel concepts, we've got to be clear about that," he said. He then offered a few points on which he did feel confident. "I don't think that it's reasonable for kids to be deemed so-called Gillick competent, to take decisions about their gender--irreversible treatments that they may have. I just don't--I think there should be parental involvement at the very least.

"Second thing, I don't think that biological males should be competing in female sporting events...It just seems to me to be sensible. And I also happen to think that women should have spaces which are--whether it's in hospitals or prisons or change rooms, wherever-- which are dedicated to women.
"That's as far as my thinking has developed on this issue and if that puts me in conflict with, you know, some others then we've got to work it all out. That doesn't mean that I'm not immensely sympathetic to people who want to change gender, to transition and it's vital that we give people the maximum possible love and support in making those decisions."

That's not exactly Churchillian language but the guy is just an absolute pansy. This is something -- which is more than we could expect from him.

Also in the UK, British Cycling, the governing body for bowling -- nah, just kidding --
has banned transgenders from competing in women's events.

BTW, people say this a lot, but if there's "no advantage" to males competing against females -- how come you never see any "trans males" (biological females who say they're males) competing with males in sports?

Why is it always biological males beating the shit out of women? If there's really "no advantage," shouldn't it be like 50/50 as far as trans males and trans females dominating their cis-sex competition?

The organization banned "Emily" Bridges from competing against women. "Emily" had previously won as a National Men's Junior competitor in 2018.

"Emily" is a bit of special case -- "Emily" was still registered to compete as a man in international events, while competing "as a woman" in the UK.

But here's the better news: Sweet "Emily" was booted out of the women's division not because of any technicalities about what his overseas registration was but because women, in a supreme case of genital irony, grew some balls and threatend to boycott the race unless "Emily" was kicked out.

Well done, ladies! You better get your testosterone levels checked, because they may have just soared above the national average for "men."

A man who identifies as a woman has been ruled ineligible to participate in a women's championship cycling race in the United Kingdom after female competitors reportedly discussed boycotting the event.

"Emily" whined that he should be allowed to beat up on girls and if he wasn't allowed, that was mean and bullying:

"I have provided both British Cycling and the UCI with medical evidence that I meet the eligibility criteria for transgender female cyclists, including that my testosterone limit has been far below the limit prescribed by the regulations for the last 12 months. ... Despite the public announcement, I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations," he said.
"I have been judged despite a total lack of evidence against me, purely because I am trans."
Bridges also claimed he had been "relentlessly harassed and demonised" by the British media.

Suck my dick.

No, wait. Belay that offer.

The Daily Mail thinks that maybe the "woke spell" has broken.

Is this the landmark week when the tide finally began to turn against the relentless, pernicious march of woke fundamentalism?
For some time, our public institutions -- from Parliament to the NHS, BBC and even our great universities -- have been captured by identity politics promoted by a vociferous minority.
Of them all, one of the most toxic is trans extremism, which seeks to blur the line between sex and gender. It argues that a person should be allowed to self-identify as male or female.
On Wednesday, Boris Johnson grasped the nettle. Rightly acknowledging complexities in the transgender debate, he came out fighting for women by saying biological males should not compete in female sports.
Of course, around the dinner tables of the fashionable people who think they know best, this orthodoxy has been unchallengeable. Not any more.
In last Friday's Mail, three women launched a campaign warning that they and their supporters won't vote for any politician who can't answer the question of whether women can have penises. Millions have rallied round their flag.

That's a real thing. Labour leader Keir Starmer -- I think that's the name -- said he could not answer this puzzling question of whether women could have penises. JK Rowling and others said that would no longer vote for politicians who could not answer the question.

⚡️ Genuine question

while @Keir_Starmer can�t define a woman 😬. How can he run a country? #NeverLabour @timmyvoe pic.twitter.com/UgI1d9QLOy

Then, in an invigorating blast of common sense, the equalities watchdog made crystal clear that organisations could restrict services -- such as changing rooms, toilets, gyms and refuges -- to a single sex.

And today we reveal that Health Secretary Sajid Javid is facing down activists by pressuring NHS bosses to exclude trans people from single-sex hospital wards to defend women's privacy and safety.
...
Labour, meanwhile, are a shambles on the issue. Barely a single one of their politicians can define what a woman is.

Well they're not biologists now are they?!

Meanwhile:

Texas child "welfare" "workers" quit over investigations into the provisions of hormone blockers to underaged children.

As I think Instapundit remarked, if we knew it would have been so easy to get them to quit, we would have done this long ago!

Morgan Davis, a transgender man, joined Texas' child welfare agency as an investigator to be the advocate he never had growing up.
Less than a year later, one of the first cases under Gov. Greg Abbott's order to investigate parents of transgender children landed on his desk.
...
He hoped it would be reassuring to the family to see a transgender man at the helm of the investigation. But the family's lawyer didn't see it that way.
...
"It hit me like a thunderbolt. It's true," he said. "By me being there, for even a split second, a child could think they've done something wrong."

Davis resigned shortly after. Since the directive went into effect, each member of his four-person unit has put in their notice as well.
While the attorney general's office has gone to great lengths to defend the governor's directive in court, The agency responsible for carrying out investigations into families of transgender children in Texas has been roiled by resistance and resignations as employees struggle with ethical questions.
More than half a dozen child abuse investigators told The Texas Tribune that they either have resigned or are actively job hunting as a result of the directive.

If you can't define a "woman". Then you can never conclude that anyone was discriminated against for being a woman.

Second, the nice people at Disney signed me up for a Disney plus subscription without me asking for one. How? I use Hulu, which it turns out is owned by Disney. My Hulu account now costs more but includes Disney plus as of about three weeks ago. Keep that in mind when they report Quarterly Earnings and with them, subscription numbers.

It's probably not a fatal wound. Just one that will leave them a blubbering, drooling, stumbling goober with an IQ of 15.

Would you trust leaving your child with any Disney product or watch anything of their's knowing what they are really all about? Disney Channel anyone?

To regain trust, Disney would have to fire just about everyone on the board and in control of their various departments and you know that won't happen.

The testosterone made her crazy, and no one in the medical establishment did anything to help her.

I think she went to Planned Parenthood for "care".

Next time you're in the supermarket and see a toddler, walk up to that toddler and tell him/her all about your sex life. Ignore that child's parent. If that child's parent objects to what you're saying and doing, turn to that parent and call them a "homophobe" and a "bigot."

And then take out your phone and video that angry parent for tik tok.

--mom driving her kids to public school
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at April 15, 2022 01:55 PM (KZzsI)

It's all of a piece.

And it's easier to see from a distance. I think a lot of people have a much harder time accepting that their local school is home to a few (or more) pedophiles, and that it protects them, and promotes their interests, and makes sure they have access to childmeat, because their political coalition and industry associations demand it.

That's a tough pill to swallow. It's much easier to wrap your mind around an evil rat in a faraway, gaudy dystopia.

But first things, first. This is a step on the way to the day when people finally accept the big picture - that it's not just big media corps and politicians and federal officials, and that Big School also wants to fuck their kids and chop their wieners off, and that it is in fact happening in their own little hamlet. Once people accept that fact, then comes the reckoning.

So it seems quite possible the new guy simply didn't have the political capital within the company to stand up to the chomos.

He either had to fight for grooming kids or resign in disgrace.

Now he's gonna be known for grooming kids AND resigning in disgrace.

167 Welcome signs of a possible return to reality.

OTOH,

The Washington Times - Thursday, April 14, 2022 Two inmates at an all-women's prison in New Jersey are pregnant after reportedly having sex with a transgender inmate.

There is just one women's prison in NJ, and the state gubmint in their infinite wisdom decided to put 27 M-F trannies there too.

And this is the result. Go fucking figure.

169 Obviously never faced a "man in the boat overboard" situation.

The answer is an Anderson turn if the man is in sight.

Otherwise, do a Williamson turn. Turn to 60° off base course, then reverse your rudder until you are going down the reciprocal (180°) of base course. Put out extra lookouts, hold a muster, and make sure the NC2 plotter is working in CIC.

239 Dear Texas Morons, are you having unusual supply shortages and limited produce availability for some reason (more than the rest of the country)? DU had a thread promoting Beto, and wanting to hold Gov Abbott "accountable" for bare shelves and such, which left me confused.

Come on Texas Dems. You need lots of billboards showing rotting veggies and increasing prices as your lunatic governor plays politics. Go Beto!

People who do their own shopping will certainly notice bare shelves and displays But we have to make sure that people know whose fault it is. Democrats seem to have some inborn reticence to pointing out what seems obvious to us: "Oh, 'everyone knows' (a lethal phrase) that it's Gov. Abbott's fault that we don't have any fresh fruits and vegetables in the stores." Yeah, I know it and you know it, but for the large swath of our population who doesn't know it, they'll be told by Fox and Republicans and their newspapers and their neighbors that it's all Joe Biden's fault and critical race theory and Democrat incompetence.

The Republican donors don't want the Republican candidates to give the feel bads to their Dem counterparts and media. So, the Republican candidates are forced to ignore culture issues in favor of economic issues at the national level that their donors are interested in.

Its a ROFR and not a ROFO - essentially its issuing new half priced shares to current shareholders except one shareholder, in a bid to deny another shareholder a percentage of the company - ie a right of refusal. But, like you said, not sure its legal for a publicly traded company to execute a ROFR against a single SEC 406b "significant" shareholder.

327 Political donors--the Republican donor and campaign managerial class is much more liberal than the rank and file Republican and the Dems have a similar issue-the large Dem donors are driving the crazy train to the left versus the rank and file Democrats.

The Republican donors don't want the Republican candidates to give the feel bads to their Dem counterparts and media. So, the Republican candidates are forced to ignore culture issues in favor of economic issues at the national level that their donors are interested in.

Donors are always an issue. I get it. But here is a specific political issue - trans - coming out of nowhere and capturing a vocal leftists swath of the DC democrats. The GOP says nothing because these are their friends, who they hang with, it's mostly all theater up there anyway. The dems should want to get re-elected. But with this they are not. ANd the donors are in trouble too. The US CoC is in serious trouble, as are some of their state associations.

335 Here's why I am not persuaded: the senate is an organization largely controlled by the majority party's leadership. I don't see how one freshman senator's personal loyalty affects most of what happens there.

To accept a guy who is a pro-choice (and apparently not even hostile to transgender nonsense) friend-of-Oprah seems like more than a little compromise for social conservatives without much in the way of payoff. Oz is at least as far left (if not further) than Arlen Specter, who conservatives absolutely loathed by the end.

Thankfully, PA is not my circus, so I don't have to live with these monkey candidates. But I doubt I'd show up on election day for either of them if these were my choices.

The answer is an Anderson turn if the man is in sight.

Otherwise, do a Williamson turn. Turn to 60 off base course, then reverse your rudder until you are going down the reciprocal (180) of base course. Put out extra lookouts, hold a muster, and make sure the NC2 plotter is working in CIC.

I lost the little man in the boat once, and immediately turned 60 degrees to starboard, but ended up kneeing her in the head accidentally, which kinda killed the mood.

I prefer voyeurs watch us instead of looking out, but I guess that's just polite if I "flub the rub". I could try mustard, but we usually use whipped cream or chocolate sauce. I don't have a plotters but I can rasterize photos on my normal printer to make a banner if that works?

Entertainment has become much more of a niche thing than 30 years ago. Other than the Super Bowl, there's no unifying TV event, nothing musically that unites, not even really much in the way of a common food or language. Even movies, which can show big box office numbers through inflation, are not seen by the vast majority of people. But if you can build a small, loyal following (You know, what we used to call a cult), you can still make money. I think that's some of what's going on here. They've sought out their cult following, and we're not part of it.

If they do "Mickey: Origins," they'll have to of course resurrect and then murder some old IP, and then feed on its corpse.

I recommend: Master Splinter's son Mickey is all set to follow in his father's footsteps, until Splinter refuses to accept his psychosexual hangups. Mickey goes into the sewers, where he has a touching-but-revolting coming of age experience with an all-male Rat King in the outflow from a pharmaceutical factory. The orgy scene will last 40 minutes.

He then joins the Foot Clan and sits at Shredder's right hand in a holy war against Splinter's turtles and their heteronormative patriarchy.

At the end, we find out that Minnie was Mickey's alter-ego all along, and it sets up the sequel, "Mickey: Transition."

Hard to imagine direct hits, on a boat, from 2 Cruise Missiles failed to kill anyon

----

Where are you getting the idea that no one died?

Someone over at PJMedia (Vodka Pundit, I think) took a look at the time table of Russian and Ukrainian messages regarding the cruiser. He noted that the Ukrainians were talking about it pretty much immediately after "it" (whatever "it" is) happened, and long before the Russians said anything. His reasoning was that quick Ukrainian awareness was because they'd launched the strike, and were monitoring the cruiser to check what the results were.

And this is after how many boys were fucked up by doctors who diagnosed them with "ADD" and "ADHD" and then drugged them up to get them to stop... being boys.

Then if that was not enough, now all boys are taught that being a man is "toxic masculinity".

That was the start of all this shit. Everyone went along with the drugging boys and then calling them all rapists with toxic masculinity. Next progression from that is this gender bullshit. This has been progressing for *decades* to get to where we are now.

The Russians mentioned a fire, so there likely was one. And she didn't sink immediately, as it appears that the Russians had intended to tow her back to port. So evidently she was damaged, but appeared to be recoverable at first.

Also, keep in mind that this is the same navy that almost sank their trophy carrier in an accident with a dock crane a few years ago.

NFL and MLB still going strong after they went full Black-Lives-Matter. Disney has been awful and evil for years, yet everyone, including so-called conservative/Republicans, is still taking their kids to Disney, watching Disney, buying Disney toys, etc. It's easy for people to express "outrage" in a "poll", quite another for parents to actually deny their kids Disney stuff.

They don't even really bring it up now even though the tranny push has gotten loud again. It sunk in finally that maybe this was too specific and easy an image for people to understand and visualize, and what they visualized, they did not like.

535 Let's get sump'm straight: There is NO SUCH THING as 'trans-GENDER'.

If you are old enough to remember the '70s when most of this was still in its embryonic stage, the 'trans' crowd of today's 'parents' were calling people with their symptomatology 'trans-SEXUAL'.

That at least acknowledges reality: HUMANS have no 'gender'. WORDS in foreign languages (e.g., Spanish, Italian, French, German, etc) are 'gendered' - as in French: "La plume de ma tante est sur la table".

"LA plume" is a designator for a FEMALE-GENDERED object. German has 'der', 'die', 'dem', 'das', etc.

Today's 'new crew' has decided to DE-HUMAN HUMANS by applying the fiction of 'gender' where it is inapplicable.

Little boys have WEENIES. Little girls have ... well, you knowwwwww ... That is as far as the distinction goes. Some people like to soften the distinction by saying they have an 'innie' or an 'outie' (and sometimes they mean their navel with this term), but it's the same thing as a 'weenie'-tot or the 'you knowwwwww ...' girl part.

We - as a united group - need to begin LINGUISTIC PUSHBACK against these Word Traitors. We are the logical choice to be Word Warriors. Just. Do. It.

537 NFL and MLB still going strong after they went full Black-Lives-Matter.

I mean, they took their hits. merchandizing sales are down, ticket sales are down, ratings are down. But they still make a huge amount of money and are popular, just not AS popular.

And each month, each season that goes by since the last outrage, people creep more and more back into watching and going to games. The Superbowl still gets millions of "I hate the NFL" people watching.

Exactly right, unfortunately. Profits being down a few percentage points is a very, very small price to pay for being able to posture to your woke circlejerk of friends, as being on the right of side history. And that price won't be paid by corporate execs whose bonuses will still be gi-gundo. And if Disney took a massive hit in its fortunes (which won't happen because us consumers are forced to buy Disney+ in our cellphone contracts, and ESPN in our cable bundles), then Dem politicians would just vote them a bailout. Every1's a winner, baby!

538 >>> Encanto. The lesson is that grandma didn't love the talentless loaf enough.

Hah. The lesson I got is don't let the baggage of past trauma screw up the future generations. You have to move on. Something that the dems are really good at messing up with critical race theory.

539 "Despite the public announcement, I still have little clarity around their finding of my ineligibility under their regulations"

Have you tried to gain some clarity by looking between your legs?

540 Conservatives need to not back down on this issue. Protecting children from pedophiles and sexualization at a young age is a winner for 90% of the country, keep pushing for it with everything you've got and don't let the small group of mentally ill and their enablers in Hollywood and the media make you bail on the issue. If they make sure to tie Democrats and these corporations to these sick policies then conservatives will come out ahead in every election, and these corporations that want to enact the most disgusting liberal policies will fold. Let their allegiance to wokeness destroy them.

541 Lefties love-hate the term 'gay conversion therapy' because it makes it sound as if someone's being put on Dr Frankenstein's table or sent through a human washing machine.

But what is it really? Simply counseling. The same thing used when people want to stop drinking, using drugs or are in an abusive relationship.

In addition, such counseling is confidential, or should be, meaning outsiders including the state are not privy to the counseling. Any counseling.
