I promised not to call them transnazis, you call them activists, but whatever we call them they are a complete pain in the ass and they invite derision and ridicule. Derision validates the sense of persecution that is for them the foundation of identity.

Nobody is "transphobic," there is only "incredibly transphobic." Before I get to my point let me say that gender dysphoria is a tragic, painful and debilitating condition and those who use it for attention or who would cast it as some sort of alternative lifestyle deserve as much contempt as we can shovel their way.

But we are talking about a pattern here. The same pattern appears in opposition to Israel's savage brutality toward those who resist the larcenous taking of Palestinian land and livelihood; Israel is a cruel right wing country and its wholesale theft of land has nothing to do with the Jewish faith, driven wholly by bigotry and profit. Settlement construction is big money.

But when people argue for an end to shooting children from helicopters they are labeled "antisemitic"; that it isn't the political state of Israel they speak against, but Jewish people all over the world. The equation is reinforced:

Israel = Jews = Israel = Jews = Israel = Jews

Speak against a slobbering savage like Avigdor Lieberman or against the rationalization for mass infanticide in The King's Torah, why, you're just one step from dropping the Zyklon-B.

And everyone acts so damned shocked when hatred of global Jewry rises again. Who could have seen that coming?

Same with "trans." Those you call activists are not seeking a place in the world nor any reconciliation nor any relaxation of tension. They revel in doing harm and the genuinely dysphoric are not their concern nor ever will be.

Real dysphoric people have their own problems and what scant resources are available to help them are being squandered and wasted by people who just want attention and have found a way to get it.

Let's not pretend to be shocked when this backfires.
