“She highlighted how male seahorses can become pregnant”
Those male seahorses don’t get pregnant, they hold the eggs for protection until hatched then releasing the new Seahorses into the sea. Natural evolution at work. Screw these transphile ass wipes pushing such nonsense.
I don't think she said ovulate. For fish "pregnancy" (often referred to as gravidity or gestation), in the context of livebearing species, refers to the period where eggs are fertilized internally and develop within the mother's body, either with or without direct nutrient transfer from the mother.
So by definition, seahorses can become "pregnant."
I think it's an oversimplification to refer to this process as pregnancy. "Pregnancy", biologically, would include the production of the ovum, and then successful fertilization. Those are critical components. Simply carrying an ovum, or developing embryo isn't biologically pregnancy.
It's easy to convince people that what they want to believe is true. A cross-dresser really wants to be the other sex, the movement says he/she can. Instant belief. You are unsure, as an adolescent, about your hormone driven body and mind changes and someone tells you the confusion is because you are in the wrong body. Take this pill, and you'll get what you want.
It's all BULLSHIT! You have a right to your opinion, but that doesn't make it true, and certainly doesn't make it law. If an adult wants to have parts removed or added, that's on them. Selling this crap to children should be called the crime that it is.
Turning down an opportunity to trans your kid, as I did, results in denying them special status and attention. I live with the consequences of the choice my husband and I made together, everyday. The cognitive distortion has sapped so much energy.
You can still offer all the "special status and attention" you want, the old-fashoned way. Dig into what your kid likes, what he or she is good at, and support them to develop that skillset to exceptionalism. That's saved many a child from a life of frustraiton and petty crime, and can lead to a genuine, fulfilling career - sez this man who was assisted down that very road.
You are right! We agree! I’m afraid it’s the reality— Our Generations Alpha and Z - swim in a queer sea of social currency. They deal in avatars, algorithms, labels, and self ID;
Sympathy for these kids today, and for those charged with offering good parenting. Stuff like this makes me glad I'm old, and that I come from a background where paying for three squares a day was the main challenge.
You have to always fight for your kids, no matter what and that’s the good fight
Hopefully time will make it all right
I had a friend in the 70s high school who looked like a boy had her haircut by a barber or men’s clothing belted khakis she was quite heavy, but she was a math whiz and actually competed in a chalk talk against my husband from different schools, but she’s happily married and has I think three or four kids so nobody ever said anything I mean, we just accepted her. She was just her and , she looked like that Pat character, but we didn’t give it any mind.
Strong parents who are watchful for bullshit help produce functioning adults. Your difficulties will hopefully yield normal kids who love you for your efforts. Our 19 and 20 year olds still have dinner at the table with us when they aren't working ovee summer and Christmas break. We vacation as a family even with our 23 year old. It's the best thing in the world.
What's left out of the analogies with other creatures is that -- with a few exceptions for the apes -- the vast majority of sex changes that animals like fish undergo is strictly for reproductive purposes -- like when a male dies and a female changes to male in order to allow reproduction to occur. The scientific basis for sex changes in other species is important when discussing these phenomena.

Transgenderism is the worst but no means only part of Gay Pride nonsense. Unlike this self-described "queer community" (otherwise known as "narcissistic community") most sane socially conservative people will typically view ‘gayness’ as just one small compartment on the streetcar named desire....and will be bemused by Western liberalism’s decades-long obsession with it.
They will think that it is not to be sneered at but nor is it to be celebrated and will be heavily under-represented at Gay Pride events. They might be homosexual themselves.... but, crucially, this does not make them want to browbeat the other 90% of humanity into falling into line as just one ‘cisgender’ subgroup among many. Fact of the matter is that homosexuality will always seem a bit queer to most people; it doesn’t mean they have a ‘phobia’ about it. There is nothing inherently pejorative about the word ‘abnormal’; many of us are abnormal in some ways. There might even be a silver lining to the cloud of one’s inner struggles; you might get to paint a Sistine Chapel ceiling or write a Recherche du Temps Perdu. But this would not be nearly so likely if you were full of self-congratulatory narcissism.' https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-social-conservatism
I liked how you put all of this. The loud and self-congratulatory crowd calls themselves 'queer'--but it has seemed we're not allowed to think that they, esp trans, are queer (definition: 'strange; odd') even while we treat them vs their ideology with the respect all people deserve.
I love how Chris ends the essay with the real ending of The Little Mermaid. Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, and all those Asops fables tell remarkable stories about human nature, passed down for thousands of years from one mother to another. Progressive ideology discounts human nature and history; those things are unchangeable and instructive. Progressive ideology is very foolish and destructive. Bad ideas have victims.
CR-thanks for devoting what sounds like 1/2 a day to attending such a pathetic event. I’m sorry you had to endure the lame displays and irrelevant expressions of the “unhuman condition”.
First hand observations and documentation are important for history. Years from now, will people believe that there were humans who were so gaslighted, pressured, too lazy to learn facts, too poorly educated to think for themselves...that they would believe such fantasies?
One could just as easily note that sea creatures breathe underwater or sometimes eat their young—neither of which offers a useful model for human behavior.
The imagery serves as a powerful metaphor for the severe consequences that await those who lead others away from faith or cause them to stumble in their spiritual journey. It highlights the gravity of such actions and the importance of protecting the vulnerable in their faith.
Interpretation:
Some interpretations suggest the sea symbolizes chaos or judgment, while others see it as a representation of the depths of hell or eternal consequences. The millstone, in this context, represents the weight of sin and the burden of leading others astray, according to one interpretation from a Q&A site.
In essence, the millstone and drowning imagery is a stark warning against the dangers of leading others astray and the severe consequences that await those who do so.
Absolutely disgusted and disturbed by the Evangelical church's role in affirming this absolute abomination and a purposeful ignoring of biological realities.
If you think about what childhood fable, this resembles, think of the emperor's new clothes.
We are image bears made in the image of God, and he will cast judgment on these evil fools who harm children.
Thank you for a well written piece. What I read most clearly was that we need not be afraid. We will get past this blip in history. And your kindness and respect to those who identify as trans is valuable as well.
Honestly, and bit off/on topic. Im so sick and tired of this nonsense and shenanigans being the spotlight!
Why does the MSM continue to cover this craziness? If they'd stop bringing it to the forefront and shoving it down our throats, it'd die!!
Just curious, when do white Anglo-Saxon folks get recognized 🤔?
And please don't jump all over me for being "racist", bc I'm not! I grew up as a military brat and have been exposed to and have assimilated with every kind of person in the world! I truly am color blind, and if you don't like it, you can go pound sand!
Why does the MSM continue to cover this craziness?
To me it looks like part of their agenda, which is to promote all leftist causes, hypocritically amplifying and giving implied support to neocon nation-builders, endlessly bashing Trump, and referring to those of us who elected him as deplorable fascists and white supremacists.

How is that relevant though? Birds can fly therefore humans should be able to too? Sure, you just have to believe!
It’s incorrect. Male seahorses receive the ova from female seahorses, fertilize them and carry them in a pouch until ready to be expelled.
Still don’t ovulate. Sorry I didn’t drill down enough to prove further how dumb this whole transphile movement is.
I don't think she said ovulate. For fish "pregnancy" (often referred to as gravidity or gestation), in the context of livebearing species, refers to the period where eggs are fertilized internally and develop within the mother's body, either with or without direct nutrient transfer from the mother.

Don't stretch it too far ... it'll break.

It's a metaphor. Fish lay eggs so they don't get "pregnant."
Bravo ..Ann...Bravo
This has been an entertaining comment sub thread. Thanks!
Yes, correct, thanks for the details
No, just more idiotic blather.
"it's always been this way"
The off ramp from the road to crazy town is slowly getting wider.
and weirder
It’s amazing how fast DEI and now this movement are collapsing! “The Emperor’s not wearing any clothes!”
And more delusional.

Original Fairy Tales had morals to them, dark as the tales may have been. These tales are dark, with no morals.

Have I written a poem?

Thank you, it's a thankless job. Has always been so, I suppose. But the kids are alright. They're great kids. Thanks.

Truly they did
Rufo absolutely nails it. He knows how to put the essence of the issues into words. And expose the baloney for what it is.
I'm glad he went to the Seattle aqueerium so we didn't have to.
I appreciate the particularly "deep dive" into this subject matter. Scene of the crime!

The scientific basis for sex changes in other species is important when discussing these phenomena.
Also, that these changes occur naturally. Surgical changes are not natural.
Right! Fish aren't in debt to Big Pharma for their entire lives post-transition.

My response is, I'm not a fish, a worm, or whatever. Likewise I'm not the opposite sex and cannot change my genes to make it happen.

Thanks Chris for all you do. Maybe NYC mayor next? No. I wouldn’t wish that on my enemy.
