In the Vernacular of My Native Mississippi, "Something Just Ain't Right".
Feelings and emotions exist as luxuries permitted in a permissive, prosperous society. They are not permanent, nor are they guaranteed.
The contemporary gestalt speaks of gender fluidity as if it were a natural fact, a certainty on par with the sun rising and setting each day – but it is not.
At best, the concept is a social construct and at worst, a mental illness.
Nature divides the mammalian kingdom into but two sexes, male and female. It does so because the primary goal of the human mammal is reproduction, through which the continuation of the species is guaranteed. All mammals share that prerogative – the drive to reproduce dominates all other drives, all others are a means to that end.
To deny that structure and that prerogative is tantamount to misanthropy, a hatred of the human species.
Humans have gained a luxury that other mammals have not – to indulge in emotions that argue nature can be abated or defeated – but alas, that cannot be. The laws of Nature share much in common with the laws of physics – and in the natural world, opposites attract, likes repel.
Two cows cannot produce a calf any more than can two bulls.
And Nature drives cattle to reproduce without help from the faculty lounges at Vassar, Brown or Harvard. The birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it.
Far be it from me to cast doubt on the feelings of a male who believes he is female or a female who believes they are male – or either sex who identifies as neither gender. Those feelings are no doubt real, especially given the social risk of indulging in them – but they are feelings and emotions, not facts.
And those feelings and emotions exist as luxuries permitted in a permissive, prosperous society. They are not permanent, nor are they guaranteed.
Rational people do not need to be told when something offends common sense. In the vernacular of my hometown in rural Mississippi, we all know when something “just ain’t right”.
One of the issues we have created for ourselves is the tacit, if not outright, acceptance of things and situations we intuitively know cannot be true – and I’m not talking about complicated things like string theory or quantum mechanics, I’m talking about the basics of life that were, are, and will always be, true (actually that MUST be true for our planet to function and sustain life).
Feeling and emotions are no valid or viable basis for a society. These can never be laws; they are far too selective and malleable to be trusted - and all carry an expiration date. The only lasting basis for a society is, as Thomas Jefferson described in the Declaration of Independence, the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.
Natural law incudes realities like the law of gravity. That law applies to us all – equally. It doesn’t care about size, race, color, creed, gender identification or socioeconomic status. If you trip, you fall. You need air to breathe, air that consists of a narrow range of gases, change that just a little and we all suffocate or die of oxygen poisoning. The same with temperature – we can adapt to a wide range of temperatures and climates, but once those expanded limits are exceeded, life ends – with no regard to who or what we think we are.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, America’s Founders based our form of constitutional republican government on such natural laws – creating a government based on the least common denominator of natural laws that applied to all humans no matter what race, what ethnicity, what social or economic class or biological sex they were.
One can no more invoke government to change a natural circumstance than any person or group gaining exemption from the law of gravity.
We intuitively know that a biological human will always be a biological human, they will never be a lion, a tiger, an elephant, a dog or a unicorn no matter how much they might want to be one of those things. We also know that a biological man will always be a biological man, no matter what his brain, endocrine system and social clique tells him – or what role in society he wants to play. It is the same with women, a woman is always a woman no matter what she thinks or what social role she wants to play.
Sooner or later, Nature asserts itself and the affectations of human emotion fades into the background. Indulging emotions become too expensive in time and effort when survival is the main course.
Such is the way of things.
History teaches it has been and will always be this way. To believe society has outgrown Nature and Nature’s God is true folly. Those who enjoy the protection of the current gestalt should enjoy it while it lasts – because when something cannot go on forever, the smart money is on it stopping.
