A moonbeam from the larger lunacy
by Babette Francis, National and International Coordinator of Endeavour Forum Inc.
I am not quite sure why, but in the olden days people used
to blame the moon, specifically the full moon, for bouts of
irrationality, even insanity, among some citizens.Perhaps it was because some dogs tended to howl at the full moon. This of course had no impact whatsoever on earth's loyal satellite, or on the dogs for that matter; but it did give the full moon a bit of a reputation.
I can only assume it was a full moon occasion when, on July 10, 2018, LifeSiteNews.com's James Risdon reported on a bizarre interview, featured on a French television show, with an individual described as "bearded and with a masculine-sounding voice [and a] receding hairline". The individual took exception to being identified as a man. The video clip has since gone viral.
"You're not a man?" the host asks in disbelief in French.
"No. No. I don't know why you're saying I am a man. But I am not a man," the guest replies.
"Your appearance," the host proffers.
"Ah, well, we must not confuse gender expression with gender identity," the individual continues.
Within seven days the video clip, posted on YouTube, was seen more than 232,000 times.
It seems that the guest identifies as "gender non-binary", neither a man nor a woman.
And even though the guest certainly appears to have light-coloured skin, he is equally quick to point out, when someone notes the panel on which the guest sits is comprised of four Caucasians, that this too is apparently a mistaken perception.
"I'm half-Lebanese," the manly-looking individual says. "We should question all our stereotypical pre-suppositions because, without even asking, you have assumed I am a man and, because of my appearance, you consider me to be Caucasian."
In the comments section below the video on YouTube, some of those who watched the video mocked the guest's insistence of a non-Caucasian, non-gender binary identity.
"I am not a man, I'm a dragon who is half-Cameroonian," wrote someone identified as Anthony Post.
Not to be outdone in chiding the TV show's guest, another YouTube viewer claimed also to not be a man but rather a non-binary Yamaha bisexual V8 turbo halflawnmower, half-tractor.
At the Le Journal de Montreal, the French-language Canadian daily newspaper published in Quebec, journalist Mathieu Bock-Cote tried to make sense of it all in a column headlined "A man is not a woman" (July 4, 2018).
After suggesting that people who feel like strangers to their own biological sex must be treated with empathy and insisting good faith efforts need to be made to accommodate them, Bock-Cote also called for common sense to prevail.
"Let's get real: these are the outliers and a society cannot be redesigned based on them," Bock-Cote wrote in French. "We cannot let the radical left exploit their unhappiness to justify its agenda of deconstructing identity."
Entire societies are getting drunk on identity politics and the deconstruction of identity - and no longer even know how to stop the process, the columnist warned. "They are throwing themselves into the abyss and it is young people who will pay the price for the disorientation caused by the destruction of fundamental points of reference," Bock-Cote wrote. "They are already paying for it."
It is not only the confused individuals who are paying for it; we are all paying for it with lunatic suggestions that the sex of infants should not be recorded on their birth certificates and with the psychological abuse of children in some primary schools where it is preposterously suggested that they may not be the boy or girl they think they are but might actually be of another gender.
But we cannot blame our beautiful moon - full or otherwise
- for this lunacy. It is LGBTQ propaganda, aided by the radical
Left in politics, which promotes the mistaken notion that gender
can be changed. It cannot! All of us from conception have either
XX or XY chromosomes (the miniscule number of humans with
anomalous chromosomes are abnormal cases, not new genders),
and attempts to change our chromosomal structure are as futile
as dogs howling at the full moon.
