It seems that there was a hearing on Capitol Hill recently where a young professor accused Senator Josh Hawley (R-Rational World) of being transphobic without a whit of reason. Sen Hawley was only asking questions, and the accusation rang out.
What is transphobia? Well, if we go to the dictionary, we learn that a phobia is " an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something". Fair enough. I am neither averse nor afraid of trans people. So, obviously I'm not transphobic. But, I do have questions, just like Senator Hawley does. Our question are based on biology, logic, and the broader philosophical inquiry.
Yet, if I were in that hearing asking questions, I would probably be labeled as transphobic, when according to the meaning of the word, I am no such thing. One would think that a professor from a major university would understand the use of words. I am neither transphobic, nor arachnophobic, although I do seem to trend toward claustrophobic.
When you can't answer questions with logic or common sense, then you degrade to name calling and usually a steadily increasing volume. I know, it used to happen all the time in my family with my #LIBTURD brother-in-law. Once he had unresolved conflicts in his walnut-sized brain, he would just explode in rage.
ReplyDeleteThe Woke world only makes sense to a Woke intoxicated individual. If a person so afflicted has to resort to "common sense" or " Standard logic", they are fo forced to resort to the all-inclusive and meaningless term, "-phobic". None of their world makes sense without voluntary intoxication.
ReplyDeleteI don't hear trans people, so I'm not phobic about them.
ReplyDeleteI pity them and how they are destroying themselves in the service of people who don't care about them.
*Fear, not hear
