🏳️‍🌈 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.
