‘This Tragic Epidemic’

One of the things I used to do when I was on the campaign trail was to use my blog as a sort of notebook, where I’d pile up stuff during the day and then, in the evening, cannibalize this raw product to produce my American Spectator column. So after Thursday’s “Transgender Victimhood Narrative Update,” […]

Transgender Victimhood Narrative Update

Dana Martin, 31, was found shot to death in Alabama. The New York Times has important news of nationwide significance: An Alabama woman has become the first known transgender person killed this year in the United States. Dana Martin, 31, identified by advocacy groups as a black transgender woman, was found shot to death in […]

A World Without Norms: The Influence of Judith Butler’s ‘Gender Trouble’

Feminists protest in Los Angeles, January 2017. “When did feminism go completely bonkers?” That question is sometimes raised when I relate the latest outburst of madness from academia (e.g., “How has the form of your child been culturally interpreted?”) or from popular culture (e.g., Gillette’s advertising attack on “toxic masculinity”). Indeed, this spiraling descent into […]

Lesbian Professor: ‘How Has the Form of Your Child Been Culturally Interpreted?’

  Hanna McCann is a lesbian and a feminist (but I repeat myself) who has a Ph.D. and teaches Gender Studies at the University of Melbourne. She is a man-hating anti-heterosexual ideologue, a proponent of queer theory, and the author of Queering Femininity: Sexuality, Feminism, and the Politics of Presentation. No one outside the world […]

The Compulsory Approval Doctrine: Sliding Down the Slippery Slope

  Pete Da Tech Guy this week noticed that Ford Motor Company fired a contractor at one of its Michigan plants for posting an online comment critical of transgender ideology. The contractor said he “was told to pack up my belongings immediately, to leave my badge and computer, then I was walked out of the […]

Transgender Rage: You Can’t Have a Women’s Symbol at a Women’s College

Mount Holyoke College is a “prestigious” women’s college, in the sense that “prestigious” is a synonym for expensive ($64,658 a year, including room and board). It’s one of the so-called “Seven Sisters” colleges of New England, so if you’re rich and your daughter is a radical lesbian with a mania for social justice, Mount Holyoke […]

Crazy People Are Dangerous: Anthony Halliday a/k/a ‘Stephanie Hayden’

Not a woman: Anthony Halliday (left) as ‘Stephanie Hayden’ (right). Anthony Halliday is an obese 45-year-old man who, in 2007, began “identifying” as a woman, calling himself “Stephanie Hayden.” Because so-called “self-identification” has obtained the protection of law in England, this has the effect of empowering deranged perverts like Halliday/“Hayden” to harass anyone who refuses […]

Grandfather’s Transgender Lover Charged With Murdering 1-Year-Old Girl in Texas

Shawn Vincent Boniello, 30, is charged with murdering Annie Rader. Police in Rockdale, Texas, say 20-month-old Patricia Ann Rader was beaten and crushed to death Dec. 3, and “an autopsy showed the girl had extensive internal injuries and broken bones throughout her body.” Police were called to a trailer park where the girl, known as […]
