Why does gender theory lead away from civilization?

Microsoft:

Inspired by the public's response to our 2022 Pride flag, we're expanding our design to represent 40 LGBTQIA+ communities--and making it available for everyone to use and build on:

Yay!

If you have academically-inclined visitors over the holidays, New Discourses may be able to help everyone sort out Microsoft's new Pride Flag above, to reduce casualties. This is really how people are taught to think on campus:

The concept of gender is extremely important in Critical Social Justice, and it is a ripe site for the ideology of Theory to assert itself because the issue of gender is genuinely complicated, relatively poorly understood, and a place where sociological issues are likely to be highly relevant. In the Theory of Critical Social Justice, gender is ultimately socially constructed and, following the queer Theory of Judith Butler, performative (see also, gender performativity).
That is, in Critical Social Justice thought, gender is something that is learned and done, not something that necessarily has anything to do with one's biological sex. Sex refers to features of the body for reproduction only and has nothing to do with who someone is; gender is the part that relates to who you are and who you experience yourself to be. Learning gender happens through socialization, which is roughly a kind of brainwashing society does to itself through which the dominant ideologies are produced, reproduced, maintained, and legitimated (see also, hegemony, internalized dominance, and internalized oppression). Here, those are about what it means to be masculine and feminine, what relationships those have with being male and female, and what injustices are perpetrated by social reproduction and enforcement of any norms around those issues (see also, hegemonic masculinity, hegemonic femininity, and violence of categorization). Men are believed to be socialized to be masculine, females are believed to be socialized to be feminine, and this is all quite oppressive.

Put more plainly, in Critical Social Justice Theory, gender is nothing more than a set of beliefs, attitudes, expectations, and practices that are culturally produced and culturally enforced that define (a) what it means to be masculine (a man) or feminine (a woman), (b) who is expected to conform with those beliefs, expectations, etc., and (c) how that production and enforcement takes place. That is, gender is something you do--or something that is done by you, perhaps more accurately--not something you are (and sex, usually, is something you are, except when that's Theorized to have been foisted upon you by society too, say by "being inscribed at birth" upon you by putting it on your birth certificate, which is yet another form of socialization). In a landmark paper on this topic from 1987, "Doing Gender" by Candace West and Don Zimmerman (cited over 13,000 times), gender is defined wholly socially in this way. The idea that biology has something to do with gender is not just considered wrong but also immoral because such views could potentially be used by sexists and other bigots to enforce their bigotries.

So, is that flag clear to you now, bigot? If not, click the link above and keep reading until you get it.

Here is some of the mythology of this tribe:

Since the dawn of humanity, TERF activists have colluded to socially condition all 8.7 million species on Earth to conform to specific behaviour patterns in order to reinforce the myth of biological sex. This project was initiated by JK Rowling using a time machine.

Today's Thought Piece

The falsehood at the heart of the trans movement

The new politics of marginalised identities, now marching across the West, frequently clashes with classical liberal values like freedom of speech and association. Nowhere, however, is this clash and its consequences for civic life more obvious - and dire - than when it comes to the trans movement.
What began as an informal social and economic pressure campaign has crossed over into a formal effort by coercive state agencies to restrict freedom of expression, assembly, and conscience. In Norway, a feminist organiser named Christina Ellingsen could face up to three years in prison for tweeting that males who identify as women cannot be lesbians or mothers, because this statement violates Norway's newly expanded hate crime laws. In Canada, a human rights tribunal entertained the complaints of a trans-identified male against religious-minority women who refused to provide intimate hair-removal services. Professors like Selina Todd and Kathleen Stock have needed security to accompany them on their own university campuses after voicing concerns about proposed reforms to the Gender Recognition Act. In England, police have investigated ordinary citizens for tweeting salty limericks or displaying 'transphobic' stickers.
In the United States, with its uniquely robust First Amendment protections, we are unlikely to see police sent to investigate violations of new identity doctrines. But here, as elsewhere, activists rely on aggressive use of private coercion to shut down dissent, targeting critics' reputations and livelihoods. In November 2020, a prominent lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union tweeted that 'stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on'--referring to a book that questioned the sudden spike in girls identifying as transgender. Feminist groups attempting to organise in-person meetings have faced bomb threats and cancellations by venues nervous about optics and security risks. Teachers have been suspended or fired for refusing to use students' preferred pronouns.

THIS IS SOME SERIOUS STUFF HERE.

Then there is the soft pressure campaign underway across the West, involving the expectation that good, progressive people will not exercise certain freedoms: that lesbians will not refer to themselves as same-sex attracted, that women's groups will make space for males, that everyone will engage in routine self-censorship, lest feelings be hurt or certain uncomfortable realities be drawn into the light. What is politically inconvenient becomes unfashionable, morally objectionable, even 'dangerous'. Civil liberties have become distinctly uncool, panned by young activists, and more than a few grown-ups who ought to know better, as tools of marginalisation and oppression. Advocate for the right to freely speak your mind and activists will accuse you of harbouring specific heresies. In an interview with the BBC in September 2021, Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, defended his party's decision to cast out a female member for asserting that women are adult human females: 'Well, we absolutely believe in free speech but we also believe that we need to protect human rights and we believe in equality.'

THIS IS THE NOT SO SERIOUS STUFF?

Civil libertarians who have sat this conflict out so far may be startled to see free speech set up in opposition to human rights and equality. But when it comes to gender, an atmosphere of wartime censorship has set in. Trans activists claim these strictures save lives, but in reality it is the survival of the cause itself that requires such exceptional treatment.
So why do civil liberties violations and calls for further clampdowns follow trans activism wherever it goes?
The short answer is that the trans movement threatens civil liberties because the movement is not what it claims to be and thus is threatened by free and open enquiry. If a movement cannot withstand scrutiny, it will create and enforce taboos -- and undermine civil liberties in the process. . . .
To put the conflict in plain language: trans activism argues that gender identity should override sex in law and society.

Emphases mine. Read the whole thing. It's short. There are lots of links, too.

. . . If the trans movement insists on its current course--shutting down public debate, subverting open democratic processes, and punishing critics--the movement will create openings for opponents with much more objectionable agendas than recognising that sex matters and advocating caution on youth gender transition. As Jonathan Rauch warned in his 1993 book, The Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought:
'[No] social principle in the world is more foolish and dangerous than the rapidly rising notion that hurtful words and ideas are a form of violence or torture (e.g., "harassment") and that their perpetrators should be treated accordingly. That notion leads to the criminalization of criticism and the empowerment of authorities to regulate it. The new sensitivity is the old authoritarianism in disguise, and it is just as noxious.'

GREAT. What we need is for the tactics used in the trans movement to spread to OTHER leftist movements!!!!

Recent Gender News

Ace wrote a great post yesterday on some recent gender news, originating both in the UK and here in the USA. You will understand some of the following content better if you have read Ace's post.

This is a bit off-topic, but compare the writing in Ace's beautifully-organized post (that is, the writing both by Ace and those he quotes or links) with the writing in this "question" from an assignment from UVU Teacher College, a UN-affiliated school.

Quotes you may understand better if you read Ace's post linked above

At root, and with no hate, the real problem with gender ideology is that males can never be females - whatever labels people prefer.
This has massive implications for sport, sex, prison, war, just etc.

Biden is still making trans women register for the draft. Doesn't that tell you his regime doesn't believe the BS they spout?

Modern activism is often performative, rehearsed, and utterly out of touch with reality. Here, I make the bold claim that men and women are, on average, different heights. That appears to have been a bridge too far.

My son (Tavistock Wokington) was denied access to a rollercoaster based on his biological height. I explained that he identifies as 6ft 2 and finally he was allowed to ride. Tavistock did slip out and fall to his death, but I'm reassured knowing he felt safe when this happened.

"Having donned the invisibility cloak, Harry entered the women's bathroom, wand in hand, secure in the knowledge that he was immune from prosecution."

I don't think we should be so harsh on boomers. Keep in mind, that since gender affirming care wasn't available for kids back then, people of that generation will presumably have witnessed about 70% of their school friends kill themselves. Dark times.

By proving that schools aren't actually providing litter trays to children who identify as cats, John Oliver has demonstrated that it is morally acceptable to perform gender reassignment on a child.

Gender News hits the White House - Again

At the end of Ace's Quick Hits yesterday evening, we saw Dylan Mulvaney expressing, on "day 222 of being a girl", their(?) excitement over being invited to talk with Joe Biden! Because, of course, Joe Biden doesn't know enough about being a girl.

Think we will witness any hair-sniffing?

What happens when even Democrats figure out that this guy is a troll?

How am I the only one apparently on either side of the aisle that can watch these clips and tell immediately that this Dylan Mulvaney character is clearly a deliberate troll?https://t.co/vaOtcCti3E

Yes, sometimes we must act, but sometimes we should not. So for example, and this is not my personal experience, but suppose you had a 22 year old kid, and that kid came home one day and told you they were gay or non-binary or whatever.

It's generally good but he does say one thing I disagree with. "Overwhelming, most Americans essentially want the same thing, they just have different pathways to reach that objective." I used to believe that but it's hard to see the Antifa rioters, the abortion fanatics, the child mutilators, and the border destroyers as wanting a free, prosperous, and strong America. Malthusian death cult is more accurate.

She called me "the most naturally charismatic person I have ever met."

Well, without getting too philosophical about it, I think this is where the "don't spill your seed willy nilly" thing comes in, and MOST humans would be better off with as few sexual partners in their lifetimes as possible. The ideal is probably one.

So if you find yourself in a variety store setting, where you can put your thang (or bump uglies) with anyone, theoretically, then yeah, I expect most people who will go gay have tried the opposite sex, because why not.

87 All the leftist bullshit I hear lately is all starting to sound the same to me.

"Words mean what I want them to mean when I say them. Those same words will mean something completely different when I say them at some other time because I want and need them to mean something different. In general, you cannot argue with me because I control what words mean so I automatically win all arguments so just give in to whatever I demand, when I demand it!"

That's how assholes like Stacy Abrams can deny the results of elections for four years then declare, with a straight face, that she never denied the results of an election. She simply changed the meaning of the words she spouts, at the time she spouts them, using her Leftist-given rights to control the definition of all words.

There is no point in arguing with these people, they have "transcended logic". You can only try to keep them from harming anyone but themselves.

Psychology has gone from a study of human cognition and its impact on behavior geared to therapeutic reintegration into mainstream society to being a wailing wall celebrating the worst excesses of human behavior geared to acting as a shield to prevent society from making any demands for mobility within its sphere.

I am not alone in noticing, my psychiatrist who has passed on was a former SAC flight surgeon, and my psychologist who has since retired paid me the respect when I finally went in for treatment for my PTSD of acknowledging that I had done all I could as a patient to comport myself within societal norms.

This gender bender mania has burned up the last vestiges of any respect or deference I once had for the intellectual honesty or moral validity of the fields' efforts.

There are a few annoyances, but not many. The writers quote almost directly from communist theory in their claims of wanting to be "free". Basically its sad oppressed people thinking freedom means socialist dogma.

Its kind of an odd setup, a faux Wakanda complete with a special mineral/crystal only found in a mythical kingdom (in some Arabic area, possibly Iran?). Thankfully none of that matters to the story and is pretty well forgotten by the end of the movie.

This has always bothered me, not just for the theological problems but because I think people want a church to be a different experience. Why get up early on Sunday to go to a place that's... the same as everywhere else? If it doesn't feel special and unique, what is the attraction or even PURPOSE of chuch?

It should seem special and holy and mystical and like you're doing something profound and meaningful, and distinct when you go to a church service.

There was a crossover point in the 90s to the early 2000s where the decision was made that "everyone is mentally ill to some degree."

Really the trouble started during the 60s to 80s when the notion that there were people who needed long-term commitment at state expense vanished. The left's compassion uber-alles ran into the libertarian "there is no reality and budgets are the most important consideration!" and the asylums were shut down. "We can medicate them and it will all be okay!"

The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act was another nail, people warned back then it was a hot topic in the forensic society community that there would be social carrying costs if efforts were not taken to make cutouts for business for dealing with mental illness.

This failure has hundreds of fathers.

If one starts with compassion, it should be possible to identify bad behavior, without needing to label the person.

What has been intentionally corrupted here, of all the well-meaning efforts to be compassionate toward the mentally ill, has been the confusion of those two things.

Or as the Bible tells us, love the sinner but hate the sin. We've effectively created a world where we are all compelled to love the sin. And we're hated as sinners if we don't.

Hell, even with rock solid evidence it'd be "disinformation" according to our political and media betters. But people like Tulsi need get slapped around a bit by the dark side so they realize what's at stake.

Wisconsin should have had him a guest of the hospitality of the state multiple times for violent actions prior to him playing AJ Foyt with 8 year old kids.

I agree that compassion divorced from moral duty caused this, I am also aware that Christianity became the dominant force in the west because Constantine found the middle between "hippies" and "Roman power."

The end result of this failure societally of Christianity, and classical liberal thought is Islam is rapidly looking like the less crazy option.

The definition of a conservative is one who wants to conserve, e.g. fight against change. Under that definition, our founders were radicals, until the time the Constitution was instituted, and then they were conservatives.
In this day and age, there are now 2 major sets of radicals: Ones that don't think the system has gone far enough down the socialist souffle, and those that want to go back to Constitutional principles of our Founders.

You can still enjoy rainbows, just call them spectrums. (Spectra? Whatever - maybe just stick to the singular, like mongoose and octopus and grouse.) If anyone objects, claim to be on the autism spectrum and accuse him/her/it of being shamefully insensitive to neurological diversity.

Since I started buying clothes at thrift shops a few years ago, I now have ~110 dress shirts, including one elegant pin-stripe "From the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection",* six suedes (incredibly comfortable, though a pain to clean), lots more interesting colors and patterns. For easy access, I hang them in the closet in order by predominant color from red to purple, then black, then white, but if anyone asks it's a spectrum, not a rainbow, dammit!

*The owners of a laundromat in Sicily were very impressed when they saw the label in 2019. All the working-class Italians I met were big Trump fans.

242 1966- "During the past week and more Red Guards have scored victory after victory as they pressed home their attack against the decadent customs and habits of the exploiting classes. Beating drums and singing revolutionary songs detachments of Red Guards are out in the streets doing propaganda work, holding aloft big portraits of Chairman Mao, extracts from Chairman Mao's works, and great banners with the words: We are the critics of the old world; we are the builders of the new world. They have held street meetings, put up big-character posters and distributed leaflets in their attack against all the old ideas and habits of the exploiting classes. As a result of the proposals of the Red Guards and with the support of the revolutionary masses, shop signs which spread odious feudal and bourgeois ideas have been removed, and the names of many streets, lanes, parks, buildings and schools tainted with feudalism, capitalism or revisionism or which had no revolutionary significance have been replaced by revolutionary names. The service trades have thrown out obsolete rules and regulations."

I grew up and started my career in a society where we were encouraged to introduce ourselves with our name, where we're from, where we went to college and what we like to do (i.e. hobbies, etc.). We did not define ourselves by skin color or sexual organs. We were individuals with our own unique personalities.

The basis of the families claim relies upon the judicial interpretation of Connecticut's Unfair Trade Practices Act. That law bars the sale of products using false statements. The family's invoked that law by asserting that Jones' claims about Sandy Hook aided the sale of supplements and other merchandise he sells and regularly advertises on InfoWars. Predicating their claim on that legal argument, the families reached the $2.75 trillion by imploring the judge to multiply the $5,000 fine set worth by the law to the 550 million exposures that Jones' commentary on Sandy Hook had across Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter in the wake of the shooting before the deplatforming campaign which saw him removed from each website.

The left has built a culture where the majority of people lack any sense of right and wrong, any sense of humility, any sense of shame, any sense of remorse.

Good and kind, no evil, but just naive about human nature because they were too nice to see subtle evil in front of their eyes. They assumed everyone was good natured unless they acted like cartoon villains. Perhaps Tulsi got involved with the WEF world because she took them at face value, and then woke up.

It was not a foregone conclusion that the Bolsheviks were destined to be in power but the fecklessness and stupidity of Kerensky's SR's & the remaining Tsarist generals plus German meddling allowed them to sneak in...and even then it took years and a Civil War for them to consolidate power.

He was so stunned at the chance encounter that he didn't have the wherewithal--and time-- to take out his pistol and shoot him on the spot.

289 Gender theory leads away from civilization because civilization is by necessity an actual TEAM sport and GT is individualistic hedonism on a predatory scale.

295 I think a new Amendment is needed that is related to the 1st, but modified. Its purpose would be to protect dissenters of critical theory from discrimination in the workplace (including private and public sectors) and subject those who use means such as social media or other ways to hurt the dissenters to punitive and even criminal penalties according to the degree of violation.

Or something like that. (Not a lawyer or Constitutional scholar here)

296 By these crazy people's own admission, learning about gender is brainwashing. So what they're trying to do to kindergartens is brainwashing. Just brainwashing they like. Also they make the admission it's learned, so by their own admission the conversion therapy works. So they should be legal.

298 re the flag
(assuming that no one will ever read this)

This is all according to plan. Look at wikipedia sections on socialism and you will see thousands of pages with different theories, schools, doctrines, etc., and they all disagree.
It is what happens when your philosophic understanding of the world is un-moored from reality. They are all wrong, but they disagree on how the others are wrong. They are children.

The flag is just another instance of the immaturity of the Left. It stands for everything except the reality that they are worshiping hedonism and decadence and sin.

Why is it that in the history of the world no other flag has felt the need to incorporate dozens or now hundreds of different sects? Why do most flags suffice with 3 or so colors and one symbol? - Because they are rooted in reality not fantacy.

299 re question of privileges

My privilege is that I was born in a world with codified rights and laws (thanks founding fathers!) and electricity and an understanding of physics (thanks white Europeans!) and lots of the amenities of modern civilization and manufacturing and technology (Thanks white men!)

Gosh, I really am privileged! IN FACT, WE ALL ARE.
