And, y\u2019know, NOT.<\/p>\n

No, you aren\u2019t<\/a><\/strong>
So I saw a dude (and yes, it had the adam\u2019s apple, so a dude) wearing a skirt with leggings (and really nice heels) and a shirt that said \u201cEveryone is entitled to their own view of reality\u201d<\/em> I couldn\u2019t help but tell him: \u201cNo, reality is what it is, denying it makes you a fool and an idiot.\u201d He got mad and pouted. No matter, he\u2019s still a man, in a skirt. Not a chick. \u201cDon\u2019t call me Stupid!\u201d say he. \u201cThen don\u2019t act stupid or say stupid shit, says I\u201d\u2026He flounced off in a huff. I laughed out loud at his back.<\/p>\n

Just because a woman wants to think \u201cBig is Beautiful\u201d doesn\u2019t mean that fat girls are as pretty or attractive as women who take care of themselves. Shy\u2019s lying to herself or to her fat friend. Trans people (I.E. Men that pretend to be women or women who pretend to be men) are not<\/em> the opposite sex just because they put on a skirt or pants. To believe otherwise is stupid. Trans men can\u2019t have babies or nurse, and trans women are not strong men, even with supplements of Testosterone. Saying otherwise is stupid.<\/p>\n

I can believe I can fly all I want, right up \u2019til I step off that cliff. Being upset when reality (and the ground) smacks me in the face is stupid\u2026.Stepping off the cliff is stupid. Don\u2019t like the truth? Reality and the world just don\u2019t care. Being upset that you can\u2019t fly is also stupid.<\/p>\n

Man or woman (and those are<\/em> the only choices), to deny reality is stupid and it really is stupid to think otherwise. Reality is what it is. Deal with it. Stop being foolish.<\/p>\n

We, as a society, need to stop pandering to people, be they straight or trans or gay, men or women, old or young, that feel that their alternate view of reality is just as valid.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Seems simple enough, no? Obvious; beyond argument; plain for all with eyes to see; as fair as fair ever gets in this life\u2014none but a fool, a madman, or a stubborn, spoiled child would think to object. So readily apparent is it, in fact, that it shouldn\u2019t have to be said at all; even the most rudimentary powers of observation will confirm that to contend otherwise is a pointless waste of time and\/or energy.<\/p>\n

And yet, somehow\u2026well, here we all are nonetheless.<\/p>\n

This blatant falsehood manifests itself particularly in the “You can’t criticize me! You can’t judge me! You can’t say I’m wrong!” crowd. Look, if what you’re believing, or preaching, or doing, flies in the face of objective fact and natural reality, I can<\/em> judge you (your actions, at any rate – not your soul, that’s God’s business) and I can<\/em> say you’re wrong. I will. Loudly and frequently. To indulge your false fantasy would make me as guilty of ignoring reality as you are!<\/p>\n

I saw this particularly as a prison chaplain. We had psychologists on staff whose job was to help inmates figure out where they’d gone wrong, and help them to change. The problem is that far too many of those psychologists tried to lead the inmate to come to the right conclusions on his or her own<\/em>, without actually telling<\/em> them they were wrong. In many cases, those inmates had never been taught how to think, and had none of the normal frame of reference (morality, civics, etc.) used in our society. To expect them to come to the “right” conclusions when they were filled with the “wrong” personal history, information (or the lack thereof), relationships, etc. was nonsensical – yet those psychologists persisted in that approach. They had to<\/em>. That’s what the “system” demanded – and that’s why we have a 70%+ recidivism rate among US prison inmates over the first five years after they’re released.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
