What can you say: Ideology doesn't make anybody free. "Transphobia" is an invented category, meant to steer people away from real issues, primarily economic, which extends to US foreign policy. In other words, the US has never bombed a country because there were too many "Trans" people there. That more "Trans" people don't get that their "Cause" has been hi-jacked by the Powers-that-should-not-be only proves that they're just like everybody else who follows the ideologies deployed by Corporate diktats promoted by the State. "Transphobia" is merely a subset of Narcissism, a quite rampant phenomenon encouraged by this late phase stage of Empire.

They have absolutely no right to exclude Ann from any public demonstration.

It's mind boggling, actually.

Let me get this straight though, just to make sure I am on the right page.

If I opine that men getting their nuts excised in order to compete in women's sports is unfair to biological girls and women and a questionable career move I can't march with these folks?

Do I get any exculpatory gold stars for being a circumcised sub-urbanized Bar-Mitvah-sized elder Jewish male with a distaste for genocide?

I will here and now fess up that in my misspent pre-pubescent folly I put a few pennies in the synagogue charity box towards "planting a tree in Israel" cause my parents thought it was a good idea. I imagine the trees might have gotten planted to replace the Palestinean olive groves ripped up by the Zionist freedom lovers. However, years later it was revealed that the proceeds went towards purchases of bottles of fine Scotch for the rebbe.

(Thanks to all, I feel much better now.)

thank you, Cindy! great interview with the brilliant Ann Menasche. and a plug here for Women's Declaration International -- please check out and sign if you agree to the principles of women's and girls' sex based rights. I thought you two really got down to the crux of the matter re free speech and the ever diminishing ability of people to think and debate.

It is Jewish Voice for Peace (they speak with a united voice). Veterans For Peace emphasize the FOR in their name. There are some veterans groups who glorify war as a means of ¨peace through strength¨.
