Oh, Puh-leeeezzz!
All that squawking that’s been going on about “gender ” this and that, most of which is based on “soiled brat” syndrome, and the current attempts to include “inclusion” in the military have not been lost on me. There were plenty of sailors and Marines of all colors, shapes and sizes when I was lost in the glamor of it all.
These days, I tend to stand back and watch the Parade of Idiots go by and wonder how long they’ll last at anything.
What is truly disturbing is the insistence on some idjit with a brain the size of a pea telling the people to whom s/he/it reports that s/he/it is some kind of made-up fantasy-based dysphoric self-description, so as to be considered “special”. In the military, you are not supposed to be “special”. You’re supposed to be one of a larger unit, a composite, if you will, that should act as a single organism for the benefit and survival of the group as a whole. That has nothing to do with gender. It has everything to do with survival to fight and win. Without that as a basis, there is no unit. In the military, there are no “special people”, there are only recruits in boot camp, and survivors of that ordeal at the end. Loosening rules to accommodate soiled brats in their efforts to be “special” defeats the purpose of military training.
However, in regard to gender studies, the attached article regarding how the human brain functions biologically, and how it responds to people is definitely worth reading.
https://www.joshuakennon.com/the-six-common-biological-sexes-in-humans/
The differences between karyotype (e.g., genetic XX v. XY chromosomes, etc.) are quite well explained, but more important, how these differences function in perception of “self” and “other” is also explained. It has to do with how the brain functions, which affects perception of “self” and of “other”. It is very real for people afflicted with it.
The article does not address the very real self-disgust which drives some people to mutilate themselves through surgical gender reassignment but still aren’t happy campers afterwards. This is clearly a mental health issue, having nothing to do with real-world biological gender, or the subject of karyotype genetics. Self-hatred is a mental health issue. However, the author does reference “spontaneous abortion”, wherein an embryo which is developing badly is discharged by the body. This is commonly referred to as a “miscarriage”, and is not unusual.
With advancements in medicine and mental health counseling, self-acceptance should not be an issue. The dysphoric screaming fits about 27 genders (or whatever the latest number is) are pure baloney. It is part of the soiled brat (not “spoiled”) generational hysteria currently awash in their desperately anxious need to draw attention to themselves as “special”, when in fact, they are nothing of the kind. As you may recall from boot camp, engaging in attention-seeking behavior could easily draw your CPO or the GYSGT to you and get your sorry ass chewed up and down until you are quivering Jell-O.
“Special”, my Fat Aunt Harriet!!! How about spoiled brats who found out that life isn’t like kindergarten and they are not “special” at all, and nobody gives a crap whether they like themselves or not. And no, Real Life and the Real World aren’t going to hand them prizes for simply existing. In short, they get to the real world and find out they aren’t “special” after all, and they just can’t handle it.
The questions by the author at the end of his article are definitely worth your time, also. Since self-perception does have its origins partly in genetics, in regard to karyotype, the author makes some very good points.
It might also explain why some democrats have become compulsive liars, mightn’t it? Could that be part of the “survival instinct” at work or is it just someone trying to avoid the proverbial axe?
As a reference, Stalin’s programs were so brutal that people lied their asses off just to survive. I could go into the results of Lysenko’s abysmal agriculture theories and how they literally destroyed Soviet agriculture, starving millions to death in the process. After Stalin died, Nikita Krushchev visited the USA, and part of his trip was to the farmlands that we have in great numbers. He was literally blown away by the massive crop production he saw everywhere he went, but it took until Krushchev left the government and Malenkov took over to change Soviet agriculture to something more modern.
And just to be clear, I am perfectly willing to designate myself as a Space Alien from Seldane, who is as comfortable with ballistic hand weapons as I am with a cast iron skillet and a box full of hungry kittens.
Any questions?
Good. Now get your sorry ass out to the woodpile and chop some kindling. I have pies to bake and a turkey to roast.
And while you’re chopping wood, here’s Candice Bergen to entertain you. Just throw another log on the fire….

FIRST!!!! To say that I really Love EX-PH2.
I mean that. I am quite fond of you.
You are a smart, funny, and a really adapt woman, whom I wish to meet, in person, one day.
Your eloquence and wit really catch my attention at times and this is, again, one of those times.
Maybe it was the ” ballistic hand weapons as I am with a cast iron skillet and a box full of hungry kittens.” bit.
Rowr!!!!
This is not me speaking at the end of this video but, I CONCUR!!
I can sympathize with that lioness. Probably had a rough night with the cubs and now Hoomans come out to gander and squawk….
Here’s to ya, ChipNASA. I hope you’re hangin’ in there where you are. Just glad I did the right thing and retired from the work world.
HEY, I musta posted in the WoT about it.
Yeah here in West Baltimore Suburbs, all good. Interview went well and I have other projects my boss and other managers asked for assistance for and have budget so, maybe I’ll be *over* employed.
Better to send a little more $$$ to TAH here on Friday after I pay bills.
YEAH!!
Chip, save that XTRA cash and squeeze your budget tighter than a drum. We may be going into tight times ahead, financially and you’ll need it for groceries and stuff like that.
Geezo Pete, I’m spending too much time on financial stuff. Sorry about that!
It’s like the Lioness is trying to say “WHAT DO YOU WANT? STOP yakking and let me take a peaceful NAP!!!”
Welp, you answered my question. We’re having orasted turkey and baked pies for supper. What time are you serving it up? (ducks a thrown skillet)
And now I’ll answer your questions; Yes, Dear; Right away, Dear; Is that to your satisfaction, Dear?
Used to lust after Candice Bergen’s Body…Her politics ruined that fantasy
I liked her until she got “woke”, whatever that is. Wokeism is poison to the brain.
Or https://youtu.be/Gw3xH2jO9EE for the Kinkster’s take on the subject.
Ah, Seldane… the predecessor to Claritin. Damn near killed me
Gun Bunny, do you happen to have the cooking instructions for ORASTING a turkey?
Do you tsuff the turkey with rdessing prior to orasting and do you need to abste the turkey during the orasting process?
I’m sure many here will be awaiting your reply with abted breath…🤪🤪🤪
This is how you do it, Poe:
1 – tSuff the turkey, using Grandma’s stuffing recipe
2 – aBste the utrkey with olive oil or butter
3 – Put an aluminum foi; tent over it and put it in the roasting pan on a rack
4 – See cookbook for proper roasting temperature and times If you’re roasting turkey on a spit over an open fire, put a pan under it to catch the drippings. Bribe your kids to turn the spit.
5 – Stay away from the oven until you can smell the turkey cooking, then check it.
6 – Make sure you save the pan drippings for turkey gravy.
Thanks for the directions, Ex, but ol’ Poe’s screwed anyway ’cause he’s fresh out of aluminum foi; for the tent…😝😝😝
Spot on Ol’ Poe, you have the secret recipe. And I see the The Queen Lioness of the Adorable Deplorables has broken down the prep steps for you. You good to go now. One difference for us Good Ol’ Boys down heah in the Southland tho. We make a skillet (cast iron) of buttermilked Corn Bread Dressing v the stuffing thing. The only stuffing we do to the orasted utrkey is the transfer from plate to mouth step.
On the whole orasted beasties thingie, you may recall the FIRST (ht 2 Roh-Dog) time that Mi’Lady, Ex-PH2, did the Thursdays are for cooking thing she called for a 3-5lb beef orast. She was questioned by some of the more miscreanted d’weeds as to the location of beef orasts in the meat department. Myself, always deferring to the Ladies, and knowing the command of the English Language that Ex has, did not question her spelling, and have used that spelling since then. I mean, who knew, I’d been spelling roast beef beast wrong for all this time. After all, I’m just a dirt diggin’, pony faced, dog soldier Gun Bunny that has to get nekkid to count up to 21. (20 & 1/3 on cold days)
Oh, and btw…if you run into someone with abted breath, they had sushi for lunch. 😛
“Oh, and btw…if you run into someone with abted breath, they had sushi for lunch.”
Reminds ol’ Poe of the Vietnamese bar girls who sat around snacking on dried squid like it was potato chips.
That squid-breath could knock you off a bar stool when one of ’em would stick their pretty face in yours and gush,
“Hey, G.I., I luff you too much!”
Uh, Poetrooper, that sounds perzackly like the stories sailors used to tell me about the bars in Olongapo and Subic and how the honey-ko girls just reeked of squid chips.
Ol’ Poe’s thinking about packaging squid chips and creating a focused marketing campaign directed toward liberal college towns in the hopes of reducing liberal procreation rates.
But he’d probably get accused of cultural appropriation by the Asian activists.
And when he thinks back, it never slowed down any boonie-rat GI’s or horny sailors, did it?
After all, they weren’t there for the kissin’ were they?
‘Used to lust after Candice Bergen’s Body…Her politics ruined that fantasy‘ –
Ditto. Wokeism? Evidently, some warped mind now construes this as some kind of ‘new religion’ https://www.convergemedia.org/wokeism-the-new-religion-of-the-west/
Pardon my intolerance or even my complete lack of ‘woke-ness’ but that’s not a religion – it’s just a fuct-up mind-set. Wokeism is just another fancy label for ‘fear and loathing’. Wokeism is poisonous to the so-called ‘brains’ that govern our so-called society…My bottom line: DOOM ON WOKEISM.
Cheers all here
Yeah, I keep hoping that I run across one of these “57 trans genders” types, just so I can laugh at them three ways; long, loud, and often.
So far, no luck.
What strikes ol’ Poe as the most significant information in that article is the extremely low incidence of these genetic aberrations, a varying but very small fraction of one percent of the population.
Poe agrees that we should recognize that such people exist through no fault of their own and we should not mistreat them.
However, he also thinks that a political party that seeks to stand society on its ear by focusing on such a tiny demographic, many of whom are mentally disturbed as a component of their genetic deviation, must contain a rather large component of those who are mentally disturbed as well.
Agreed😎👍
What you said PT, I concur AND it makes me truly believe that a lot of the “Celebrate Diversity” propaganda from the left that promotes the transgenderism among other things is literally telling people to “Celebrate Perversity”.
Must be following Inana/Istar/Issar: Goddess Cult from olden days, she was a cross dressing and sex changing goddess according to “A Handbook of Gods and Goddesses of the Ancient Near East.”
Only 3 genders, male, female and confused, but there is hope for the confused unless the spiritual blindness includes a hardened heart.
The author of the reference article left out a lot of the more rare gender types such as XXYY, XYYY etc. You are looking at small fraction of the population but there is still a bit more to the story.
We seemed to move from fact to opinion rather quickly though. While it depends heavily upon the child’s perceived acceptance in the local society, culture and family group in which they are raised the overwhelming majority of non-binary gender conforming people prefer to not identify themselves out of shame and/or fear of non-acceptance. The same is true of gays and lesbians.
Only about 40% of homosexuals ever tell their father that they are homosexual. About half stay in the closet at work. I work in an extremely male dominated field these days and very few gays come out of the closet to the point where it is notable when someone does.
My point is that you are painting with a rather broad brush without numbers to back it up. Many if not most gays and lesbians are just like most everyone else in that their sex life isn’t any of your business and they have no interest in proclaiming it or asking for special treatment. Most just want a fair shake and not be treated unfairly. Just be allowed the freedom to go about screwing up their lives like everyone else.
Attention whores are attention whores. They come in all colors, stripes, walks of life and genders. Let us not adopt the prejudicial ways of the left.
“Attention whores are attention whores.”
Amen to that, anymore I genuinely don’t care what someone’s preferences are, it’s when they push it up in my face with their demands that I accept it when I take an issue.
Ex-PH2 I am confused…not like some of these gender other folks are…do you use the hungry kittens from the box as projectiles that you hit with the cast iron skillet or is there something else going on?!!!
The hungry kittens in the cardboard box go into the one room in the house with a bare floor. There are enough toys and sleeping spots for them to make it sound like a war zone, but when you look in there, they are sound asleep.
However, if you do not keep the gate locked and the screen door closed, they will get out and crawl into YOUR sleeping space and collectively push you right out of your own bed.
Little known fact is that transgender people have the highest incidence of suicide, successfully.
And those are the people we give our multitrillion dollar military to ?????
WTF ????
Thank you Ex, well said !!!
Buy that girl a beer !!!
You are a girl, aren’t you ???
I dread the answer I will get, but it will be fun just to stand back and watch !!!
Yes, I am most definitively a girl of the female sort, and a nice, cold ale would be most welcome.
So as the author notes, we now have the incredible scientific ability to determine a child’s three sexes at birth…yet we still just look down and say YES or NO!!!
Seems to me, if there is all these possibilities (more than six) and then multiply that by three, as the mind, body, and some other thing I forget can all end up mis-aligned why do we not check all these things? I mean with Universal Health Care surely we can just slip the kid in to an MRI machine, run a few DNA tests (maybe more than one to be sure there is no Chimerism going on) and give them a few cognitive tests as they turn school age…you know along with the developmental and learning tests we all do! You guys all had that done before you started Kindergarten right?!!
So as the author is saying, we can’t say “biologically male” because they may not be but have lots of testosterone and be able to compete with men on a fair playing field, as opposed to XX body karyotype who need a separate league to compete fairly. I just want to know what I need to argue about with the school board and NCAA when my girls start competing in sports!!?!
Well, you could ask this kindergarten teacher about it. He might have an answer.
Then we have the blomfg, (acronym) telling us that the US Flag has to go.
When is enough of this shit going to happen ???
I’m already there.
