Its not that i hate trannies or gays but the unbearable horror of mass biopolitics and psychiatric power and propaganda. contrast the old notion'queer' identities as countercultural, exposing the 20th century nuclear family as an artificial biopolitical norm. To now where 'queer' identities, are used to re-legitimize those supposedly discredited notions about the 'authentic self', as the pre-ideological truth of the subject that must be discovered through 'objective', 'scientific' authority and made public. And how sexual liberation is an imperative because all sexual impulses must be exploited and made into a commodity and there is no room for ambiguity and you cant talk about how identity is always messy and based on trauma. how everything is instrumentalized for electoral ends.

>Perhaps one of the most disturbing attempts to undermine families can be seen in a slick video produced by LGBT in the City, a multi-media organization that produces talk shows and videos related to LGBT issues and is sponsored by such monster corporations as Telus and TD Bank. To say LGBT in the City has a hedonistic focus would be a grotesque understatement and it might be argued that at least one of their videos encourages the sexualization of children, specifically in the form of an eight year old boy mockingly named “Lactacia.”

>In a slick video released on Facebook with over one million views so far, a hyper-feminized/sexualized 8 year old boy (who some have compared to a drag version of JonBenét Ramsey) is featured partying in a hypersexual adult LGBT environment and telling kids watching that if their parents or friends do not support their desire to be drag (or trans), they need to get new parents and friends. Professional quality video and editing made this call to young children to the queer lifestyle all the more appealing. As “Lactatia” speaks to his peers, while an all too happy host leers, bold text leaps out at the viewer saying “YOU NEED NEW PARENTS! YOU NEED NEW FRIENDS!” You too can be a drag queen or transgender superstar and perhaps head out on the town to party with the wild LGBT boys and “Lactatia.” If your parents won’t get on board, they can simply be replaced with a new “glitter family.”

Its a means of creating productive subjects, back in the 50s it made sense to promote a nuclear family model, which allowed for relative stability. Now you have to create 'activist' 'liberated' engaged subjects but it is a form of conformism worse than the 50s. The goal is the same create subjects people who can be mobilized as consumers as voters as workers. What is really disturbing is not the faggotry but how the innermost identity of the subject is linked to a specific epistemology and an idea of institutional power.

While, perhaps, the original book has its errors, I'm not sure one can turn to science to confirm the "feeling" of gender, or whatever this "experience" of gender is -- which seems to be the major issue of this gender subject.

Science can look at the chromosome, but whereby does it look to confirm someone "feels like they're the wrong gender"? Or that they've somehow intuited whatever the "experience" the other gender entails?

Our relationship to queer theory, the counterculture, californian technoutopianism is analogous to that of the denizens of late socialism to the official marxist leninist ideology. Through the immortal science of american progressivism has certainly become
far more oppressive and suffocating than marxist leninism - hardly room for irony. Like the war on terror is about producing terrorism the war on shame is about producing shame and exploiting it as a means of control. Telling you its a YA novel when its actually gravity's rainbow or naked lunch. We have forgotten how the inscription is always reciprocal, how Representation and identity are always a form of power and control. Critical theory 101: power is the ability to tell you who you are. and how diverging from the norm in any way is more likely to make you a subject of ever more intrusive forms of control. And how perversely the 'marginalized' subject becomes the new justification for coercitive institutional power, and also its scapegoat.

>How the Left Took Things Too Far
Germany's left has its own tales of abuse. One of the goals of the German 1968 movement was the sexual liberation of children. For some, this meant overcoming all sexual inhibitions, creating a climate in which even pedophilia was considered progressive.

Its insultingly naive, like they didnt learn anything from the 60s and mixed up the the repressive hypothesis of the 60s with a cartoon of behaviorism and the scientistic authoritarian dogma of the 50s. Also underestimating the extent to which the zoomer generation has been fucked by psyops and propaganda and an hypersexualized environment, we grew up watching tv made by pedophiles and getting groomed in discord chats. But if you say that you feel traumatized by it it just means you are probably repressed and suffering from internalized prejudices and maybe an alt right russian bot. How you learned to hate and distrust people who are quite alike you in most ways

I agree. And would certainly emphasise that in the 50s the nuclear family was 'promoted' and not 'created'. Though the promotion of the family - even if for nothing else but its stabilising propensity - dates back to at least Antiquity.

Im just going by foucault and personal experience as an autistic zoomer who pretty much grew up on the internet and . Really obsessed with tracing the odd threads which run across american cultural history making sense of a sort of traumatic interpellation by power.

Like how the yippies and the sixties radicals were into this very performative idea emboddied idea of politics very influenced by authors like marcuse wilhelm reich and norman o brown, who talked about polimorphous perversity and turning the perverse libidinal impulses created by the system against the system itself. How jerry rubin went from yippie to yuppie and became one of the first investors in apple computer. And how computers became identified with countercultural idividualism instead of being viewed as tools of the war machine.
How the term alt right was coined by paul gottfried, an excentric jewish paleoconservative who had also been a student of marcuse(his book multiculturalism and the politics of guilt towards a secular theocracy is dedicated to his son a medical practitioner who told him to write a book because he was afraid he would get an aneurysm if he kept going on rants against political correctness).

How the paternalist mythology of the old south is central to american liberalism essentially they want to be the good masters but still compel obedience through terror and humilliation.

its weird to see 'conservatives' idealize the american 50s. In retrospect post war america can only be seen as a radical razed ground experiment forged in the white heat of the atom bomb a total redefinition of what individuality democracy, mean. On one hand there is the vision of a totally self regulating reflexive cybernetic society based on symbolic exchange, think richard brautigans machines of loving grace and paul goodman and buckmister fuller meeting john cage on black mountain college lawn on the other there is terror and the rand corporation's game theory models and the semi automatic ground environment and proyect mkultra structuring everything from the apocalyptic horizon of nuclear war down to the most minute human interactions

You will never be a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs. You are a homosexual man twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection. All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors. Men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even trannies who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected axe wound. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
