“Equating genitalia to a person’s gender is and always will be transphobic.” [Darleen Click]
Another incident in watching people play the Left’s game of usurping bodily integrity and sovereignty to levels of absurdity.
Last Thursday, students at Scripps College hosted an event at The Motley Coffeehouse called “Project Vulva” to initiate dialogue about the alleged stigmatization of vulvas in society.“Why is it that, generally, society is so comfortable with the image of the penis and vulvas are considered taboo?” states Project Vulva’s Facebook page. “In middle school people would scribble penis pictures on the desks in the classroom. There is always that kid who passes out at the party and someone draws a dick on his face.”
Project Vulva’s organizers described the event as “an educational and interactive art show displaying your friends [sic] depictions when we asked them, ‘Can you draw a vulva?’ We will also have cupcakes that you can decorate like vulvas. Supplies are limited!” The event’s stated goal was “to create an open dialouge [sic] educating people about the vulva in order to confront society’s stigmas and stereotypes, and make people more comfortable with the many varying images and types of cis and non-cis vulvas.”
However, the event faced harsh backlash from online from commenters who found it offensive to the trans community.
One commenter, who felt that Project Vulva’s claim that penises are not stigmatized was untrue, wrote that, “[s]ociety is not comfortable with the image of a penis on a woman. This event feels extremely transmisogynistic and to say penises are universally accepted as non-taboo is transmisogynistic. I can’t say I’m surprised though. There are infinitely many ways to celebrate genitals without making transmisogynistic remarks in the process.”
“Right like this entire event is so incredibly violent to trans women specifically. I’m so disgusted,” said another commenter.
“Equating genitalia to a person’s gender is and always will be transphobic,” a third commenter wrote.
“A trans woman is telling y’all this makes her feel uncomfortable and that’s not enough for you to rethink your stance on this? You’re gross, this whole thing is gross, have fun with your ugly cupcakes,” a fourth person declared.
Who can be the best at public signalling their political purity? How far to push the cult view that biological sex is a myth? Not only must we now torture language that we can no longer deal in generalities that apply to over 99% of the population (e.g XY penis is a man, XX vagina is a woman) but we must footnote or disclaim any statement based on that empirical reality.
Oh, yes, the organizers apologized.
“The Motley wants to validate and support the critiques that have been voiced concerning Project Vulva,” the post said. “We are deeply sorry for the hurt experienced by the trans community both in the space of the Motley and on the Scripps campus in general. Being a privileged and exclusive space has long been imbedded in our herstory, and though we have tried and are trying to become an inclusive space where everyone can feel safe and accepted, we recognize that we have failed.”
Mission accomplished.
Do not be distracted by the penis in the minor girls’ locker room [Darleen Click]
Let’s leave aside for a moment that deliberate exposing of one person’s genitals to the opposite sex without consent is a criminal offense, but Obama administration’s latest use of the power of the Federal government to dictate private sexual behavior is part of a larger fundamentally transformative agenda.
Like other districts faced with this dilemma, the district tried to find a negotiated solution by putting up privacy curtains in the girls’ locker room. Similar arrangements have kept schools from running afoul of anti-discrimination violations.At Township High School District 211, however, the line between accommodation and discrimination came down to this: whether the student would be able to choose to use the privacy curtains, or whether the school could force her to do so.
The use of curtains might be OK, but the school can’t have a policy that singles out this student for mandatory use of the privacy curtains, the Department of Education report states.
“All students deserve the opportunity to participate equally in school programs and activities — this is a basic civil right,” Assistant U.S. Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon said in a statement.
The student, who hasn’t been publicly identified, participates on a girls’ sports team, but has been required to change and shower separately from her teammates and classmates.
Consider that every real female in that school has been told by the Federal Government that their own bodily integrity, their individual sovereignty, is not only unimportant, but that any insistence on their part to assert such sovereignty is “transphobic” and illegal.
And while this may seem at wild odds with the Obama Administration’s bullying of universities and colleges under the false pretense of a “rape epidemic” into adopting the so-called “yes means yes” codes, it really is just part of the move to make private sexual behavior fall under government auspices and control. And, further to control people by inculcating them in to the belief that dissent from government approved sexual identity and behavior is punishable on any number of levels – loss of job, education or business.
This has nothing to do with “Civil Rights” and everything to do with an authoritarian government that will not leave you, nor your children, alone.
Even in the locker room or bedroom.

RIP Fred Thompson [Darleen Click]
I had no idea he was even ill.
Fred Thompson, a former Republican U.S. senator from Tennessee who also ran for president and was a longtime film and television actor, has died at age 73, the Nashville Tennessean reported on Sunday.Thompson died on Sunday from a recurrence of lymphoma, the newspaper said, quoting a statement by his family.
“It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of grief that we share the passing of our brother, husband, father, and grandfather who died peacefully in Nashville surrounded by his family,” the statement said.
The tall, imposing Thompson was elected to the Senate in 1994 and served until 2003. He briefly ran for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.
He worked as an actor before and after his political career, appearing in supporting roles in such films as “No Way Out,” “The Hunt for Red October,” and “Days of Thunder.” His most notable television role was as conservative New York District Attorney Arthur Branch in the long-running “Law and Order” series, in which he appeared from 2002 to 2007.
I remember him, too, from Die Hard 2 and Necessary Roughness. Also, he had quite the way with devastating quips on Twitter.
God speed, Mr. Thompson.

Something you don’t see at your local Johnny Rockets
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Police have arrested a woman who they say lay naked on a table at a South Beach diner and poured ketchup on herself.Witnesses told Miami Beach police a topless Angelic Valle turned over tables and chairs at Johnny Rockets earlier this month, then removed the bottom of her bikini before climbing on the table and pouring the ketchup on herself.
Onlookers said she then began to perform a kind of dance while she still lay prone on the table.
One patron told police he grabbed a chair to make a barrier. Other male diners encircled her and waited for police.
Valle was gone when officers arrived, but they located her. The 23-year-old Valle was arrested Thursday.
Now, in California, an advertisement to wear your seatbelt.
