What I Learned From Attending ‘Transgender 101’ At My Local Library
The Federalist ^ | August 6, 2018 | Maureen Mullarkey

“Transgender 101,” a recent presentation in my local library, was more evidence—if any were needed—that transgenderism is an aggressive movement. And that today’s transgenderisti are way ahead of the old fascisti in socially driven language change.

(snip)

Control of language was a keynote of the July 19 program in the Chappaqua Library in New York state. Jillian Celentano, a 57-year old transwoman, rides the library talk circuit through Westchester County and Connecticut advocating for the movement.

Don't let the title fool anyone. This is a severe critique of this severely aggressive political movement.

“Control of language”

It’s always about control.

Excellent article about this evil phenomenon. I appreciate that the author did not refer to the wretched subject in it as “he.” I also liked the term “collaborating with madness” which is what this is all about.

If there are eleventy billion genders, why do they only trans to male or female? With the vast manority to female, which is also odd because why would a man give up all of his societal privelege to live a life of oppression?

You are correct.

Political Correctness was designed by the Communists around the time of the Russian Revolution.

PC is designed to control the narrative.

We need to get control of the language....

What I Learned From Attending ‘Transgender Mental Illness 101’ At My Local Library

There, fixed it. Seriously, these people need psychiatric help and should be institutionalized.

As do I. That is the one indication that someone has a rational grasp of this issue. They recognize reality.

They smile and act so friendly while turning the entire world upside down. They are so nice as they pursue their dreams of a world where they can make everyone say whatever they want and anyone who disagrees can be taken away by men with guns.

A very accurate depiction of what's happening from the article:

Parents of children suffering gender dysphoria—a politically correct coinage for cognitive identity disorder—are intimidated from addressing their children’s disassociation from their biological sex. The threat of a teen suicide functions as a kind of extortion, coercing assent to their child’s distortion. Transgender advocates refuse to consider that the suicide rate might result from the very psychological disposition that led to transitioning to begin with.

In my college orientation in engineering they told us to look to the left then look to the right. Two of us would be gone before graduation.

If they were honest at transgender 101 they would say "look at this tranny. Now look at this one. Since transgendered people are 19% more likely to commit suicide and are clearly sufferer from disproportionate levels of mental illness that it's now considered discriminatory to treat, one of them will probably be dead within a few years.". That's the brutal truth.

These are people who need help but they won't get it. Mutilation doesn't solve their mental health issues, and it doesn't cause suicide rates to drop in that group. Because their problems aren't in their genitals.

What does ‘transgender’ mean?

Is one sex and wants to be the other?

Used to be one sex but has surgically changed to the other?

At this given moment, they feel they are a different sex than their current biological one
