You Had Me at ‘Pansexual’

Posted on Comments

Kathy Shaidle on Twitter called my attention to this video, shot at a protest Tuesday in Toronto about a proposed new sex education curriculum in Ontario schools. Critics of the curriculum are criticizing the province’s Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne (who is a lesbian, as Canadian Liberals usually are), and there was a rally Tuesday that drew about 200 opponents. There were also a handful of counter-protesters supporting the Liberal lesbian-approved curriculum. A counter-protest leader is interviewed at about the 1:15 mark of this video:

“I am a non-binary so that means I don’t identify as male or female and I am pansexual which means I am attracted to all genders. I grew up in the current sex-ed curriculum in a Catholic school environment that was very limited in terms of talking about any relations that were outside of marital cisgender heterosexual intercourse.”

Yet, despite this, she turned out to be a non-binary pansexual, and a Liberal. Probably looked it up on the Internet.

Speaking of looking things up on the Internet:

“From ‘anal fluid’ to the ‘nine genders,’ it’s obvious that this curriculum is pushing a political agenda, not a scientific one.”

  10. The Lost Republic Diaries – Part V

    Another entry in a Diary that chronicles the End Days of The American Republic.  Another example of why The Republic is terminal and why we must work to save what we can however we can… Stacy McCain provides this quote from a video report by one…

  16. It’s tempting to make sport of the obvious loons, but lest we forget, behind them are real, very evil adults whose desire is to begin grooming our children for abuse at their hands. Make no mistake. Any one of us who would attempt to converse with a child about the topics referred to in the Ontario curriculum would find himself arrested and on the Sexual Offender Registry in short order.

  22. One of them already has. [Ben] ”Levin, a Winnipeg native, is a tenured professor at U of T’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and was a former deputy minister of education in the Dalton McGuinty government and a former member of Premier Kathleen Wynne’s transition team.”

    He’s being convicted of child pornography and may have contributed to this new ”sex ed” curriculum.

    “From ‘anal fluid’ to the ‘nine genders…”

    I’d learned early on to never follow Stacy’s links or ask too many questions about words I don’t understand on this site, because it turns out that there’s some stuff that I don’t want to know, and it’s best to just let McCain hint around about those things. I wouldn’t have this time except for the above teaser, which I fell for, because you know, I’m a big girl; I’m a sport; I can take it, and how bad could it be?

    I admit that maybe I’m naive. I didn’t know what those things meant. I’m a statistician, after all. We’re tight-a$$es and we don’t have anal fluid. I would’ve noticed that before, I’m pretty sure. In fact, it’s within the realm of possibility that mathematicians may not even have anuses at all.

    So I googled it. First hit, the preview from urbandictionary. I can’t unsee that, ever.

    Now I have PTSD. I never even bothered with “nine genders”, I was too scared.

  28. Thanks for the warning! Not that I was tempted, but still.

    While we’re on the subject: if you happen to frequent the wrong sort of website (such as an Encylopedia Dramatica), and you see a link for “ero guro” (or “guro” for short), don’t go there. It’s Japanglish for “erotic grotesque,” and it’s worse than you’re imagining.

    Some have not only ignored my warning, but even taken it as a challenge, as if to prove how tough-minded they are. I know that because they came back to express their regret. It is some truly sick and disturbing isht.

    I actually stopped giving the warning, since I was inadvertently enabling people to hurt themselves — they could’ve gone their whole lives blissfully ignorant if I hadn’t said anything — but you lot seem like the sort to actually listen.

    “What has been seen, cannot be unseen.”

  29. You know, I’m going to take you at your word on this. There’s just way too many messed up freaks allowed to walk the streets these days (when they should be institutionalized, truth be told).

    I’m going to just spend my free time with LOL cats, Food52, and TOM (without following links!).

    p.s. I’m glad you didn’t say “hey, go check out ero guro, you’ll like it” because I’d have fallen for that for sure. Some idiots would do that, you know, just to be “funny”.

  30. True, but they can only get away with it once. Then we check the mental “ineligible for friendship” box, and they wonder why the only people that will hang out with them are jerks that they can’t trust.

  31. Like Mr Freeman, I thank you for the warning. I guess that I shall continue to go through life thinking that “anal fluid” just means diarrhea.

  32. I’m pretty sure. In fact, it’s within the realm of possibility that mathematicians may not even have anuses at all.

    My son’s studying Math and Physics. I recall in his early years, the content his diapers refuted that assertion.

    Unless, of course, the part of anatomy to which you refer becomes vestigial and withers away the moment one is exposed to and discovers an affinity for differential equations.

    And, no, I shall not engage my “Google-Fu” to check out various definitions. I learned my lesson years ago when I asked someone what a “blumpkin” was.

  34. And, no, I shall not engage my “Google-Fu” to check out various definitions. I learned my lesson years ago when I asked someone what a “blumpkin” was.

    I don’t want to know!! I learned my own lesson years ago from “guro” and I don’t care what yours is, I’m sure mine is worse.

  36. And t wasn’t do much the definition, as the imagery that went with it. And Canadians want to teach this to tots, evidently. Nobody but a proctologist needs to know this sort of stuff.

  39. So was I! Except the one part I never liked was statistics. (Sorry, DM.) Is it weird that we have an unlikely incidence of mathematicians here, or is there a causal factor?

  40. To be fair, they might just be trying to get laid, without caring what gender is in your head! That would be very practical, not pretentious.

    Proposed: People that call themselves omnisexual are just indiscriminately horny.

  45. First of all, this headline really tickled me for some reason. The self-parody involved in this 32 Flavors of Sex movement is reaching epic proportions.

    Second, I’m technically a member of a group these people would say are “oppressed” by the “normativity” of society. I was born with something called Craniosynostosis, which means my head is shaped a bit funny and I have a lazy eye, meaning no binocular vision, meaning no natural depth perception. So that means there are a bunch of things I can probably never do, such as be a pilot, play Major League Baseball, or see the images hidden in those psychedelic-colored pictures. According to people like this, that’s because of discrimination.

    Now, don’t get me wrong: a lot of people were scumbags to me when I was younger for no reason than that I looked (very slightly) different, and that was pretty miserable. We probably need to handle bullying better than we do, perhaps by having meaningful consequences for misbehavior rather than a series of hesitant wrist-slaps followed immediately by hand-wringing and grief counseling.

    Here’s the point I’m trying to make: having experienced both the mistreatment by shitheads and the kind of saccharine, patronizing, faux-mothering “tolerance” and “inclusiveness” advocated by these people, I can safely say that they do not have the answers. As with almost everything the Left touches, a kernel of well-meaning smothered in sanctimony and dripping with condescension results in behaviors and policies that encourage dependency, feel-goodism, and complacency rather than actual long-term improvement.

    I can fight bullies; it’s a lot harder to fight when you’re being drowned in insincere kindness.

  49. Back in the fall of 1971, when I matriculated at the University of Kentucky, I got stuck in some cockamamie sociology class, and one day the professor brought in a homosexual group to ‘splain themselves. When one male of normal sexuality asked, “How can you people get off that way?” the answer came, “Friction.”

    It generated a hearty laugh, being as it was true.
