David, I agree w/you big time. The trans/Lia Thomas stuff doesn't have a leg to stand on and I get full throated as the parent of two young daughters (I agree w/Dr. Malone's essay but Im also feeling a little defensive cuz I could be accused of being a bit of a helicopter, mostly cuz my father stole my welfare PHEAA college money before …
David, I agree w/you big time. The trans/Lia Thomas stuff doesn't have a leg to stand on and I get full throated as the parent of two young daughters (I agree w/Dr. Malone's essay but Im also feeling a little defensive cuz I could be accused of being a bit of a helicopter, mostly cuz my father stole my welfare PHEAA college money before he flew the coop and I had to drop out 40 years ago, and promised God I would parent better if given the chance). Anyway (Geez that was a lot about me), they (the crazies) bit off more than they can chew on the trans thing, it feels like it will burn out. But this overall insanity feels like a conflagration of epic forces that had been slowly building to a flashpoint in the last two years, much planned, some natural, some unintended but welcomed consequences, but also -- and here is where I sound insane: chemicals of some sort? Obviously the vaccines are screwing w/natural order but something more? I just wrote too many words which adds to my look of insanity, so I'll quit while I'm not too far behind.
The stock markets are a good laboratory of human nature, and the madness of crowds, and the maleability of opinions. The markets sometimes exhibit a phenomenon called a blowout top, or a climax top. (Freud would have enjoyed that.) That's where the mob gets frenzied and madly buys a stock, or the whole market, driving the price up way above its norms. It always results in a crash, a reversion to the prior mean. Trans fetish looks like such a top for the socialists, which will surely crash. A year from now we'll all be asking ourselves how we could have accepted such obvious perversion. Everyone has a right to be different, but no right to make us like it.

God I hope you're right.
Human nature is usually pretty consistent, just a little rough around the edges.
