🏳️‍🌈 Trump mandates binary (LGBTQI+)


Rense.com conflates Judaism and transgenderism
What is a "binary"? It is a choice between two options, like computer code, 1 or 0. In other contexts, it is a black and white way of thinking. Even though there may be three options, we sometimes like two simplify the world into just two or even just one -- black or white, this or that, yay or nay. A gender binary is the idea that humans are born as either male or female.



Lost in Transnation (Dr. Grossman)
Of course, there is "other," but as humans we often find that messy. It may be rare, but there is a third gender, a pandaka in Buddhist terms, and that can be further divided. Many today, because of past karma or xenoestrogenic compounds and other disruptive chemicals in the environment (thanks to Monsanto and Dow Chemical, Inc. and CIA experiments), feel other than or between genders and are or want to be trans (transitioning or transsexuals, crossdressers or transvestites).

Gender is not only a feeling (though that seems to be the only thing anyone goes on, conflating orientation, gender, sex, biology, and emotions). There is a biological reason for assignment into one category or another. But that assignment is constructed, as many things are. So some argue for more choices, more genders sometimes to the point of ridiculousness. Now there's a slap back, and Trump has taken advantage of it, just as he does the issues of race, misogyny, economy, implicit bias, and sexism. He's a con man, and that's what con men do. But the important thing is that his false words represent something very real in the society. There really are things happening that people are not happy with, gender things being shoved down our throats. If he wants to lead a popular revolt against them, it can come as no surprise that it's going to work.

When police state (pigs) came down on protesters

Vietnam Then, Gaza Now: Bill Ayers and Juan González on 1968 and 2024 antiwar protests at Chicago DNC
We stand for peace then as now: anti-war
(Democracy Now!) Aug. 19, 2024: Latest Shows. Support this work: democracynow.org/donate. The 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, taking place against the backdrop of an unpopular [US proxy] war opposed by a growing number of voters, carries echoes of the 1968 DNC in the same city, when police violently attacked protesters calling for an end to the war in Vietnam. Much of the police riot unfolded on live national television, showing police, members of the National Guard and U.S. Army soldiers brutally assaulting and arresting protesters, many of them students. After four days and nights, more than 650 people were arrested and more than 1,100 injured. We look back on the infamous 1968 DNC with Bill Ayers, longtime Chicago activist, author and founding member of the Weather Underground, and Democracy Now! co-host Juan González. Both of them were in Chicago to take part in the protests. "It was really an eye-opening period for all of us who attended, who were out in the streets," says González. "Chicago showed us what the crisis in the country was, the crisis of racism and white supremacy, the crisis of empire and war," adds Ayers.

Int'l Women's Day + Buddhism (Ajahn Brahm)

Ajahn Brham (BWSA; Amber Larson, Dhr. Seven, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Women in Buddhism: Originally equal, demoted by monks, blamed on the Buddha


Theravada female monastic ordination

(Buddhist Society of Western Australia) What about women on International Women's Day? Streamed live on March 8, 2019. The Buddha said that there would be no successor after his passing into final nirvana. Instead, let the Dharma, the Teaching, be the leader of the monastic community, the Sangha.

Ajahn Brahm explains how an organization can function autonomously, that is, make decisions without having an absolute authority.

Killer Alec Baldwin has 7th child (video)

Mike MacRae, Jimmy Dore (TJDS); Pat Macpherson, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Mr. and Mrs. Alec Baldwin welcome SEVENTH baby. Hilaria (a.k.a. Hillary Hayward Thomas of Boston), who identifies as Latina/Hispanic, is trying to live up to the stereotype accompanying both Irish and Latin cultures, lots and lots of kids.

Many children were needed to boost childhood survival rates, work the family fields, join the military for the ruling elite, and engage in sexual horseplay of clerics for the enrichment of the Vatican and official Catholic Church world domination plans.


Before he shot that person on the set of "Rust" in the face with that gun he never pulled the trigger of, all of which has now been settled by money and filming will soon resume, Alec Baldwin was an excellent impersonator of Orange Trump on SNL and the least offensive brother of the many Baldwins. How did he go off his nib?

The Vagina Museum is the world’s first brick-and-mortar museum dedicated to vaginas, vulvas, mysterious clitorises (for which no known purpose* has yet been found), and gynecological anatomy. The project was launched in March 2017 and ran pop-ups around the UK.

Forgotten Genius: Black scientist Percy Julian

NOVA (PBS); CC Liu, Crystal Quintero, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly Wiki edit
The Man Who Made "the [Birth Control] Pill" Possible - Chemist Dr. Percy Lovan Julian


Percy Lavon Julian (April 11, 1899-April 19, 1975) was an African American research chemist and a pioneer in the chemical synthesis of medicinal drugs from plants (Darlene R. Stille, Percy Lavon Julian: Pioneering Chemist).

I really like science!
He was the first person to synthesize the natural product physostigmine and was a pioneer in the industrial large-scale chemical synthesis of the human hormones progesterone and testosterone from plant sterols such as stigmasterol and sitosterol.

His work laid the foundation for the steroid drug industry's production of cortisone, other corticosteroids, and birth control pills [WGBH-PBS, People and Discoveries: Percy Julian, 1899-1975, WGBH-PBS, 1998; Giants of the Past: Percy Lavon Julian (1899-1975). A Forgotten Pioneer in Soy," USDA; "Lipid Library: Percy Lavon Julian (1899-1975)"].


Nik, did you realize blacks could be geniuses, too? - Of course, Al . Who do you think...
.
The future black British Princess Markles
Julian later started his own company to synthesize steroid intermediates from the wild Mexican yam.

His work helped greatly reduce the cost of steroid intermediates to large multinational pharmaceutical companies, helping to significantly expand the use of several important drugs (NOVA: Forgotten Genius, NOVA (TV series), W. M. Cobb, "Medical History: Percy Lavon Julian, Ph.D., Sc.D., LL.D., L.H.H.D., 1899– ," Journal of the National Medical Association, March 1971; Vol. 63, No. 2, pp. 143-150, PMC).

"Let's look in this closet." Aha! The Pill!
Julian received more than 130 chemical patents. He was one of the first African Americans to receive a doctorate in chemistry.

He was the first African-American chemist inducted into the National Academy of Sciences, and the second African-American scientist inducted (behind David Blackwell) from any field (ibid.) More

Trump: no birth control. India: no condom ads

Ashley Wells, S.A. Ananda, CC Liu, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly; Sanjana Agnihotri (IndiaToday.in); DailyDot.com; Sunny Leone (video, Wiki); Sayitwithacondom.com; BBC.com
Message to Klansman Fred (Trump's dad): Some people should never have been born (DD).
Think India's uptight Not US is full of prudes, but Trump's America will no longer stand for free birth control! Trump pushes back reproductive rights, rescinds free birth control (BBC).

.
Use...while you're getting screwed
Pres. Don Juan Trump fulfilled a promise to conservative Christians today. He rescinded a key provision of Romneycare (aka "Obamacare," the ACA or "Affordable Care Act") that allowed citizens to exercise their reproductive rights: Trump rolls back free birth control: The new Trump rule could strip birth control coverage from millions of American females, demolishing an Obama provision. VP Pence is very happy since he wants to ban condoms altogether. (See below).

India: Take down those sexy condom ads!
Filthy and shocking pornographic ad suggests using condoms during holy Navratri (IT)
.
I did it for the money. Why are they mad?
Sunny Leone condom ad that says "Khelo magar pyaar se [Play with love] this Navratri" stirs controversy. [The playful meaning here is "Whatever you do this holiday, do it with love," nudge-nudge, wink-wink.] The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has accused Sunny Leone of being irresponsible and going to "any level irrespective of pious and religious occasion of Navratri" to earn money.
 

    Former porn actress Sunny Leone
Who in the world is Sunny Leone? Karenjit Kaur Vohra (1981-), known by her stage name Sunny Leone, is a former pornstar with American citizenship. She is a Canadian-born Sikh Indian-American actress and model, currently active in the Indian film industry ("Bollywood"). She has also used the stage name Karen Malhotra. She was named porn magazine Penthouse's Pet of the Year in 2003, was a contract performer for pornographers Vivid Entertainment, and was named by porn-lite Maxim magazine one of the Top 12 porn stars in 2010. She has played roles in independent mainstream films and TV shows. Her first mainstream appearance was in 2005, when she worked as a red carpet reporter for the MTV Video Music Awards on MTV India.

I may be Indian, but I do what I want (SL).
Indian men have a love-hate relationship with Sunny Leone, the brand ambassador of Manforce condoms. Using sanskaar as their shield, these men harp about how un-sanskaari she is. 


Manforce put up banners across Gujarat that had Sunny Leone advertising condoms with a tagline that mentions Navratri. This did not go down well with some people. CAIT wrote a letter to the Minister for Consumer Affairs Ram ["God"] Vilas Paswan calling this tactic a "clear irresponsible and immature attempt to boost sales by putting all our cultural value system at stake." CAIT wants the ad to be banned now. More
How conservative Vice President Mike Pence feels about condoms...Ban them!
Why do you and Trump want to BAN condoms? - They're "too modern and too liberal"!
In America, we get our condoms the old-fashioned way. We steal them.
.
BBC: Why is a condom ad with Sunny Leone angering Indians?
What's the big deal? Men are hypocrites.
A condom company has been forced to pull down an advertisement promoting their popular Manforce brand ahead of the major Hindu festival of Navratri in the western state of Gujarat after protests by some Indians.
 
The BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi explains the controversy: Just days before the nine-day festival was to begin on Thursday, huge billboards went up in several cities in the state in which the Canadian actress of Indian origin Sunny Leone is seen advising people to "Play this Navratri, but with love [Aa Navratriye ramo, paraantu prem thi]."
 
OMKrishna, I didn't realize she was a pornstar!
A former porn star who has made a successful transition to the role of leading lady in hit Bollywood movies, Ms. Leone has a massive fan following in India.

And she is now the brand ambassador for Manforce, the country's biggest condom company.
 
American nuns agree with Rev. Trump and India's conservatives: no condoms!
.
I'm huge, nuns. That I can assure you.
The advert outraged some conservative Indians who accused the contraceptive firm of "taking marketing to an all-time low."
 
Many took to social media sites to criticize the "offending advert" and the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) even lodged a complaint with the government, calling for an immediate ban on it.
 
"This is an irresponsible and immature attempt to boost sales by putting all our cultural values at stake," the organization said in a petition to Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan.
 
Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, CAIT general secretary Praveen Khandelwal said: "Navratri is a pious festival which symbolizes the strength of women [by honoring Goddess/Devi Durga, and linking condoms with the festival is highly objectionable." More
