I think the MAGA base has a lot of psychological similarities to the TQ+, the victimhood, the desire to have a demagogue that makes them feel special, the penchant for boycotting brands that offend them (cancel culture), etc.

While some of it is petty victimhood attitudes on the right, you really can’t deny that they’re targeted with ease by every major institution in this country. Of course, the moment they object to be maligned wholesale, they’re told that they’re not allowed to have an opinion or resist. Bud Light is a great example. They didn’t call for the chicks head, they simply didn’t buy the product and they were called cancel culture hypocrites despite the fact that no one was trying to cancel anyone. The prevailing attitude from the radical centrists all the way to the far left is to tell them to shut the frick up and take their public beatings. You can’t really blame them for finally having enough.

There are multiple sculptures in the Louvre that would best be described as hermaphroditic. One specifically is from Rome circa 1600 (Hermaphrodite endormi). Another is of Bacchus. Whether we like it or not androgynous themes have been a fairly persistent occurrence in art throughout history.

You are aware that Hermaphroditus was a mythological figure who, as a male child, was raped by the nymph Salmacis resulting in his transformation into a hermaphrodite, right? This may not be the gotcha you'd hoped for.

Throughout history the great civilizations and empires that glorified all of this did not stay great. Greeks and Roman’s are prime examples. Just saying America.

Is that… a man bun??? Nice! ??

Deviance refers to behavior that deviates from what is considered acceptable or normal in a society. Deviant content often includes sexually explicit or violent artwork, which may be considered offensive, inappropriate, or even harmful to some individuals. While some may argue that such content should be protected as a form of free speech, it is important to consider the potential negative impact it may have on vulnerable individuals, particularly children and young adults.

Moreover, the glorification of deviant content may contribute to a larger societal problem of desensitization to deviant behavior. By normalizing and celebrating deviant content, we risk losing sight of what is considered acceptable and ethical in society. We also risk perpetuating harmful stereotypes and stigmatization of certain groups of people.

In conclusion, while art should be celebrated and appreciated, it is important to recognize the potential harm that may come from the glorification of deviant content on DeviantArt. It is crucial for individuals and society as a whole to reflect on what we consider acceptable behavior and to actively work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful community.

I thank you - and ChatGPT thanks you...

ETA: Just as opportunistic Gays have hijacked/commandeered the term "marriage", this sample sculpture does the same to the general concept of "Art". If you're promoting shite-on-a Shingle as art, make it a private showing/invitation only. Further, liberals tend to say offensive things/display offensive things in a way that tests the waters to use later as precedence if there is no pushback - or scream at the sky when there is pushback. In the absence of pushback, they declare it acceptable via the absence of objection - even without public endorsement. AKA: "Self-Aggrandizement".

Trans are a small pimple on the arse of Mankind.

Drag Story Time may have happened in some limited capacity, but it spread as a pushback to conservative outrage. On the other hand, you corps call a lot of things Drag Story Time. Does Rocky Horror count, or Hairspray the Musical, numerous Shakespeare productions.

As far as what is taught in schools, I don’t think sexuality, particularly alternative forms of sexuality, should be a regular subject of discussion. However, if a student approaches a teacher with an issue of a sexual nature that they’re experiencing I believe the teacher has a duty to attempt to help. I would expect for there to be some protocols to ascertain whether or not the parents are aware and willing to help address the issue first, determine if there are other avenues that would be better for the child to seek help, etc.

As far as kids at drag shows, that’s something the parents bright their kids to. I don’t think it’s an appropriate environment for children, but I don’t get to raise other peoples children In the same way, I’ve seen plenty of shots of kids with their parents at white supremacist rallies, but there again I don’t get to raise other people’s children.

As far as gyms and bathrooms, I think other solutions are necessary. For bathrooms other a three bathroom solution, all unisex bathrooms, or groupings of single bathrooms instead of communal. That works require a lot of retrofitting. The unisex ones crack me up. When I was in France last year I went into a public toilet in Aix En Provence, pissed in a corner urinal while women walked a few feet behind me to get to the stalls. It wasn’t a big deal to anybody there.

For gyms, I think it’d be pretty easy to designate a couple of spaces for single occupancy changing and outline a policy that those that gender themselves differently than their anatomical sex must use the single occupancy units.

In sports, I’m off the mind that anatomical sex should compete against anatomical sex. I’ve heard counter arguments about hormone treatments essentially leveling the playing field between a transsexual person and their competitor, but I don’t really think that’s the case.

Why the fuss for a segment of the population that represents 1/2 of 1 percent of the American population today.

Yeah. I’m ok with everyone shutting the frick up about it.
