It Is Because I Say It Is

It’s not as if we couldn’t see this coming from awaaaay off on the horizon.  When the most fundamental aspect of nature becomes a matter of subjective opinion rather than objective fact, you know that all paradigms of normality are at risk.

In any case, the blurring of lines as to whom is eligible to compete in what category of sports is but one of the many bizarre problems facing society.  If you can’t even determine the line separating the sexes, then what chance do any other societal norms have? As I’ve mentioned in an earlier post, having any categories of separation in sports will soon be obsolete if present trends continue.  The good news is that there will be a drastic re-ordering of professional and amateur sports.  At the Olympics for example, the entire 2 week spectacle can be reduced to just a couple of days of intense competition since the male/female categories can be eliminated.  Of course, it’s only a matter of time before legitimately X-X chromasomed females decide that this arrangement effectively edges them out of all sports.  In that case, that would give rise to a possible 3rd category of participants….sort of like New Coke.

The greater problem, is the increasing acceptance of wishful fiction as fact. The phenomenom of men emulating women is already on full display if anyone paid any attention to what’s happening in the political realm.  Rather than politicians acting boldly and decisively for their constituents, they now display the  drama queen hysteria and pettiness classically seen in high school mean girls.  Now, nattering over the most picayune things, name calling  and cartoon characterizations of their rival politicos passes as political discourse.  The chest beating histrionics of neurotic actresses such as Streep, Dunham, Streisand and Judd, joined by the questionably chromasomed Baldwin, Colbert and Moore influences politicians to behave in the same hysterical way.  They have travelled so far into their world of delusion that they are unable to even recognize that they’ve lost the path back to reality.

It’s clear that some of the basic constructs of a civilized society are being denied or ignored by those that choose to live in their own reality, which would be fine, except that they insist everyone must also live in it.  It’s as if your crazy aunt with the 17 cats and bathes only in months that end in a ‘y’ wants to re-order how things are because well, the cats told her so.  Historical notions of law and order, science and logic are eschewed for notions more current and fashionable.  Instead of relying on precedent and education, they go with Al Gore’s famous explanation of ‘it’s like gravity, it just is’ type of logic.  In another time, these people would be coaxed nicely into a suit with extra long arms that tie at the back.  These days, we elect them to make laws.  The fact that we allow such people to create the reality for others is truly bizarre.
