She is another pathetic example of a society in decline.

hard to believe the comPost lets megan mcardle write for them. she makes way too much sense for their leftoid readership.

Quote:
In even tones, Bridges replied that while many cisgender women have the capacity for pregnancy, many don’t, while some trans men and nonbinary people do. But after a little back-and-forth, she gave up. “So, I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic,” she said with an exasperated laugh, “and it opens up trans people to violence.”

The whole thing quickly became a Rorschach test. Many progressives cheered to see Professor Bridges school a reactionary Republican. But conservatives also cheered, because they see a gift to Republican election campaigns.

Unlike a Rorschach test, however, this one has a right answer, and the progressives have it wrong. Moreover, the fact that they can’t see just how badly this exchange went for their side shows what a big mistake it was to let academia and media institutions turn into left-wing monocultures.

Do you know the difference between the far left and everyone else?. If it is a conservative or even center in politics person the far left actively DO try to get them fired and banned off campus as well as gather a mob on social media to attack them.

Conservatives and everyone else just stay passive about it all. And if a conservative or whoever does call them out they get defensive and say the racists and haters are after them.

That is how the far left have gotten a beach hold, and is why they have been winning so far.

Do conservatives and in the center political people go out in the middle of the night and stand in front of a leftist's home and protest with a bull horn?, no because most people think there are better ways to do than that, but leftists do all the time, they go to a person's home and shout, find where they are eating in public and harass because frankly wrong way or right way they are more committed to their cause.

A extension of what we are seeing quote this teacher to her students "if you don't believe in climate change get the hell out"

No tolerance for debate or discussion from her, no facts represented by her to back up her belief, just " you better or else" attitude,

The indoctrinated teachers are now the indoctrinators and as you have seen they believe they have full right over your kid and you as a parent have no say so.

This is their method with CRT, with transgender, with COVID, with the border, with race and so on. They believe they should teach youth what to think not how to think for themselves.

The reason I would call a man with a transplanted womb a 'child-bearing-trans-man' is because a male child born from his womb would never have a womb.

It would be really unethical to implant a womb in a man just so he could selfishly experience pregnancy. It would create an extremely risky pregnancy for the baby. The amount of drugs that would have to be pumped into that man to sustain that pregnancy which would end in a c-section because there would be no way for him to birth a baby is insane. It’s cruel and would violate the Hippocratic oath for any doctor to go along with something like this.

I will make a prediction that the term "woman" will next be demonized by the far feminist left. Why? It has 'man' in it. It implies that a man came first. "Female" will have to be replaced too.

Woman = womb+man?

The above implies a woman is a man with a womb, even if designed naturally by nature.

Doubtful considering feminists are fighting to keep the word women alive and not give it up in favor of ridiculous language such as, birthing persons, bleeders, chestfeeders, bodies with vaginas etc.

A man cannot get pregnant.
A Trans man can,...sure,..because they were a Woman,..lol.

Why the push to call trans men , Men? They are "Trans men". Use that term. She certainly does.
Why does virtually all media (including hosts on Fox) refer to tranny men with female pronouns?
It happens even when they are being critical of them competing against girls/women in sports.

As to the woman that Hawley was questioning, this short interview with him on Hannity is worth watching;

Excellent question.

I have recently started trying to avoid using pronouns at all for TGs. If I'm referring to Lia Thomas, for example, I will just say (or type) Thomas (not even Lia). That way no wokies can get angry with me for using "he," and I can live with myself knowing I'm not contributing to the lie.

I wish every sane person would do this, in media and IRL.

Edited to add:
I don't really care if wokies get mad at me, but I try to stay on topic without them accusing me of being a bigot just for using the "wrong" pronoun. I want to keep the upper hand.
