Sadly Lynda Carter has publicly endorsed this nonsense. Trans women are women apparently. Who cares about the women and girls you inspired as Wonder Woman when you can get a few likes Lynda!

I was thrilled by her Wonder Woman. Now her senseless "kind inclusivity" really makes me wonder about this woman.

Wonder (about this) Woman.

Speaking out is urgent. My young relative is beginning to have doubts. She made a joke about taking my dog to the LGBTQIA++ dog blessing for peoples pets as part of a local October pride celebration. The organisers dedicated the entire pride event to Peter Tatchell and his work over 50 years. Shocked to be honest

There's definitely an age in dog years joke there.

They are losing their marbles. Dedicating to Tatchell is tone deaf at this stage. Dawn French, Vicar of Dibley did dog blessings. Pride dog blessings - no thanks!

Wonder if it was full of stonewall approved support dogs. 😄

Perhaps a bit off topic but I just read about “LGBTQ2S+” and initially thought it had to be a parody extension effort. But apparently not. It means

“Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and Two-Spirit.”

I wasn’t sure what “questioning” meant in this context. It apparently refers to the “questioning of one's sexual orientation, sexual identity, gender, or all three” and “is a process of exploration by people who may be unsure, still exploring, or concerned about applying a social label to themselves for various reasons”. (i.e. people so understandably sledge-hammered by the blizzard of whack-a-doodle neologisms assaulting them that their craniums have caved in.)

And “Two Spirit”? Well according to the infallible Wiki,

“Two-spirit (also two spirit, 2S or, occasionally, twospirited) is a modern, pan-Indian, umbrella term used by some Indigenous North Americans to describe Native people in their communities who fulfill a traditional third-gender (or other gender-variant) ceremonial and social role in their cultures.”

I was curious about that “traditional third-gender”. Over to Wiki:

“Third gender is a concept in which individuals are categorized, either by themselves or by society, as neither man nor woman. It is also a social category present in societies that recognize three or more genders. The term third is usually understood to mean "other", though some anthropologists and sociologists have described fourth and fifth genders.”

Furthermore,

“While found in a number of non-Western cultures, concepts of "third", "fourth", and "some" gender roles are still somewhat new to mainstream Western culture and conceptual thought. The concept is most likely to be embraced in the modern LGBT or queer subcultures.”

Note the curious phrasing, “still somewhat new”. Implication: We’ll be hearing a lot more about them shortly.

Well I don’t want to be horribly bigoted about the rich cultural heritage of our multi-faceted humanity. Nor do I want to be accused of “going global” but wouldn’t you think that various localised “traditional” ways have become increasingly rare, especially as regards these exotic notions of “non-binary” being? And I don’t want to be accused of being cynical (not me!) but isn’t it curious how these recent “discoveries” happen to dovetail wondrously with the LGBT etc. thing?

There are slight variations in the LGB/T/Q/I/A/2S/+ etc. Sometimes it's QQ, sometimes there's hot debate on Agender or Asexual. Is P for Pansexual? G for Genderfluid? Don't ask what the 'plus' stands for. There's also MAP which is Minor Attracted Person, as in their 'queer' attempt to rebrand paedophilia. Hence NAMBLA - North American Man Boy Love Association. There's a name and acronym or initialism for anything. Look up QUILTBAG and its history. Or FARTS. Any vocabulary presented in 'training' sessions. Orientation or Identity? All fetishes are now good and must be ‘included’. And if you call a fetish a fetish you are wrong and bad. There are now no fetishes. Genius huh? Nothing is bad and everything bad is good as who are you to judge you bad person? It’s all just opinion.

They have twisted and appropriated many cultures and terms. It's their new hegemony (whilst attacking hegemonies). Add in language translation issues and assumptions. And sheer unadulterated ignorance. Sometimes there is no easy word to sum up something in another language. Canadian governmental edicts have fallen for the two spirit issue as a way to publicly pretend or assuage guilt over recent and longstanding abuses to first nation peoples. Look up India and Hijra. Look outside of Wiki too. Have you read much on 'Queer Theory'? Most of this ahistorical reinterpretation of cultures and histories sits within that 'queering' and Queer Theory lens. You can 'queer' anything and tip it all upside down as a fun game. Look up 'grievance studies' too. That links with critical theories and intersectionality and onwards to race theories, BLM and racism underpinning everything. Anything 'before' must be colonial and bad, so we must now look ahead by tearing down anything white colonial oppressors touched or thought and celebrate anyone not that. Whatever is now deemed 'oppressive' and are 'dominant discourses'. Like maths. And time. All white initiatives to do down everyone else. Anything can be one of these dominant discourses if you claim it is. To claim it isn't, is, you guessed it, trying to claim dominance and therefore is oppressive. It's often white women who are experts in this field. They write lots of books and influence governmental policies.

There is a lot of deliberate confusion over sex and gender and how these words are misunderstood, transposed and to confuse societal roles or repressions and expressions with sexuality. So much is fashion. Are flat-chested or big-breasted women in fashion this season or year? Men with long hair and moustaches? Sideburns? Oh now it's men with breasts and women with beards. Yawn.

It used to be kids mucking about, but like the video above, they spout stuff they have literally no idea about, such as Stonewall. Spouting off in front of that very man who was there. But now with an industry behind them doing visceral harm.

There have been good summaries here in a few articles - any letter can mean anything like a child playing with a dictionary. And to ask for a single, unified, stable definition is parochial, colonial and oppressive of course.

Look up the creation of the Western and cowboys and how movies created and recreated a lot and in skewing representation.

Much of the recent genderology nonsense takes elements of reality, and elements of interesting areas, then twists it back and destroys it out of context.

I appreciate the spadework you’ve done in uncovering the labyrinthine horror of the ever expanding acronym minefield. Yet another branch in the Orwellian negation of language.

I watch as others read and see this unfold and think it surely must be parody, which is almost exact what I felt. Then you think, oh, so if this is really happening we need to figure out why, how and get aquainted with all the terms so we can counter it. I still think it almost every day and it's like a strange rot with tendrils in most areas of civil society. We need to have a publicly acknowledged CTITU unit, a Counter Trans Ideology Terrorism Unit.

See Titties? Run, hide, tell. See it. Say it. Sorted (which I always hear as 'Sort it!' and more of a demand to bloody act) ;-)

Why would anyone listen to these brattish, nasty, entitled little freaks and think they are on the right side. Ghastly moronic idiot children.
