Tranny SJW Claims Science Does Not Prove That the Penis Is a Male Organ

Posted on | July 25, 2017 | 1 Comment

 

Zachary Antolak, a/k/a “Zinnia Jones,” a/k/a “Satana Kennedy,” a/k/a “Lauren McNamara” is a person familiar to regular readers here. An atheist transgender activist and Internet pornographer, Antolak/“Jones” has tattooed himself/“herself” with a symbol used on the cover of Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible modified with transgender symbols.

The bizarre semantics by which Antolak/“Jones” claims that the penis is not “male genitals” is a perfect example of the lunatic ideology of the transgender cult. As I noted in the case of Eyrne Daymont a/k/a “Aryn Maitland,” crazy is a pre-existing condition. When confronted by the rhetoric of transgender activists, we must recognize that we are dealing with seriously disturbed people. Their efforts to distort language, to change the meanings of words, and to force the rest of to accept their revised definitions, represent a dishonest attempt to obtain validation by compelling others to ratify their delusions.

As the feminist site 4th Wave Now points out, “gender dysphoria occurs with troubling frequency in concert with a range of other mental disturbances, including personality disorders, depression, anxiety, and autism.” In other words, people who are confused about their gender identity are often confused about a lot of other things.

Part of what’s going on here is a consequence of decades of schools promoting “self-esteem,” where every child gets a participation trophy, and everyone has a right to believe they’re awesome. This nonsense doesn’t equip young people for adult life, where there are winners and losers, and where the vast majority of people must struggle along without any praise, encouragement or recognition for their efforts. Having never learned to endure hardship with stoic dignity (which is what all children should be taught), the young misfits full of “self-esteem” become convinced that the world has somehow cheated them of the praise to which the Special Snowflakes believe they are entitled. This cognitive dissonance is the psychological root of the antinomian rage among Social Justice Warriors (SJWs), who wish to destroy all existing laws, institutions and social norms which they condemn as oppressive forces of “capitalist imperialist white supremacist cisheteronormative patriarchy,” to quote the University of Southern California’s Vanessa Diaz.

“Social justice” has become an argument that lunatics must be allowed to run the asylum, because sanity is a prejudicial concept that discriminates against kooks and wackos. This is why we find Zachary Antolak/“Zinnia Jones” on the Internet asserting that it is unscientific to describe the penis as a male sexual organ, and expecting this bizarre assertion to be taken seriously. But let’s not forget “Satana Kennedy.”

 

Here again self-esteem ideology intersects with the SJW mentality in the form of toxic narcissism. Zachary/“Zinnia” insists that everything he/“she” does is off-limits to criticism, including his/“her” Internet pornography career as “Satana Kennedy.” This sordid activity has earned Zachary/“Zinnia”/“Satana” the sobriquet “Queen of the Horse Dildos.” Like prostitution, pornography is inherently shameful. Everyone who watches pornography is as complicit in this perverse degradation as those who profit from its production. While the Supreme Court has maintained that pornography is protected by the First Amendment (a claim that would surely shock the 18th-century Americans who authored and ratified that amendment), the fact that it is legal doesn’t mean pornography isn’t also wrong. The same is true of abortion, and yet pro-abortion advocates (e.g., Lindy West) have sought to “de-stigmatize” abortion in the same way that the advocates of pornography have sought to de-stigmatize their own depraved practices.

Using the phrase “sex work” to describe his/“her” activity as an online exhibitionist, Zachary/“Zinnia”/“Satana” seeks to normalize what is inarguably abnormal behavior. If publicly degrading yourself for the onanistic pleasure of an audience of perverts is a “neat job,” and if those engaged in this activity are “seriously amazing people,” then anyone who criticizes the “trans porn community” is just a hateful bigot — such is the implied argument of Zachary/“Zinnia”/“Satana.”

This is a crude sort of rhetorical jiu-jitsu, common to “social justice” discourse. SJWs attempt to transfer moral shame from the participants in shameful behavior (abortion, pornography, drug abuse, etc.) to their opponents who criticize such behavior. By the logic of SJWs, it is not criminals who deserve condemnation; instead, their rage is directed against the police who apprehend criminals. By the same logical inversion of values, we should not admire those who succeed in business, but rather we should hate “the rich” as exploiters, and demand the destruction of capitalism itself as a system of oppression. This jiu-jitsu reversal is how SJWs justified the Black Lives Matter movement, which sparked riots and assassinations of police. Similarly, SJW logic apparently led college philosophy instructor Eric Clanton to believe he was justified in committing aggravated assault against Trump supporters.

By this upside-down-and-backward method of rhetoric, SJWs strive to prohibit disagreement, categorizing opposition as “hate” and depicting themselves as victims of unjust prejudice. “If you want to control what people think, you must first control what they are allowed to say.” The totalitarian suppression of free speech is a logical consequence of the social justice worldview. If transgender pornographers are “amazing people,” anyone who criticizes Zachary/“Zinnia”/“Satana” must obviously be a bad person. You are a hater, and therefore you no longer have a right to express your own beliefs and opinions. In fact, according to SJWs like Zachary/“Zinnia”/“Satana,” normal people don’t even have a right to their own sexual preferences.

 

Here we arrive at the real bottom line of the LGBT agenda. Once disapproval is prohibited as “hate,” then the demand for “equality” makes participation mandatory. Anyone who refuses to engage in homosexual activity — which is what Zachary/“Zinnia”/“Satana” demands — is subject to the accusation of being “exclusionary.” For a man to declare his unwillingness to having sex with a carnival freak show like Zinnia Jones is “misplaced and inappropriate.” and heterosexual men must “try to work through” this aversion.

What Zinnia Jones is saying here is what the LGBT movement actually believes: Heterosexuality is wrong. Gay radicals demand sexual access to 100% of the population, and anyone who objects to this agenda — anyone who refuses to participate in gay sex — will be condemned as a bigot. As crazy as this may seem, it is an entirely logical conclusion if you accept the SJW premise that “discrimination” and “prejudice” against gay people are unjust forms of systemic oppression.

Once you allow the lunatics to run the asylum, you have to play by their rules. Under the new rules, if Zachary wants to call himself “Zinnia” and insists that his penis is not a male organ, any expression of disagreement with his/her assertions will be prohibited as hate speech.

Patterico Vindicated: Judge Rules Against Brett Kimberlin’s Failed Federal Suit

Posted on | July 24, 2017 | 1 Comment

Nearly four years after Brett Kimberlin sued Patrick Frey, myself and numerous other defendants (including Michelle Malkin, Breitbart.com and Red State) in a bogus federal RICO suit, the case has finally concluded with Judge George Hazel granting Frey summary judgment.

There was no factual basis for this suit we had dubbed Kimberlin v. the Universe, et al., and the Pro Se Pipsqueak’s main claims were dismissed in March 2015, but Judge Hazel allowed Kimberlin’s case to proceed to discovery in regard to his claim that Frey had wrongfully acted “under color of law” as a county employee in California. A key component of Judge Hazel’s final ruling was that Patrick Frey sincerely believed that the July 2011 SWATting incident which sent to an armed police squad to his house was related to Kimberlin’s months-long campaign of retaliation against Frey because of what Frey had written about Kimberlin’s criminal history of bombing, perjury, drug dealing, etc.:

“Kimberlin has failed to submit evidence, rather than his own strongly held convictions, that Frey’s actions were motivated by an improper, retaliatory purpose, rather than [Frey’s] desire to spur law enforcement to investigate a crime of which [Frey] was the victim.”

Keep in mind that I was targeted by a SWATting in 2013, which eventually resulted in the perpetrator being sent to federal prison. SWATting is a very dangerous form of criminal harassment, and law enforcement was never able to solve the SWATting of Frey, who has extensively explain the reasons he suspected this crime was connected to Kimberlin. Given what is known about Kimberlin and his associates, and other aspects of the case which Frey has explained, certainly this suspicion was reasonable, even though the actual perpetrators of the SWATting were never apprehended. The fact that I was also the target of a SWATting, as were Mike Stack in New Jersey and Aaron Worthing in Virginia at different times, could be viewed as part of a pattern of criminal harassment. Let any intelligent person investigate the facts for themselves, and draw their own conclusions.

Go to Patterico’s blog and congratulate him on his success. First Amendment freedom has won, and the Speedway Bomber has lost.

It’s a great day to be an American!

Palm Beach Götterdämmerung

Posted on | July 23, 2017 | Comments Off on Palm Beach Götterdämmerung

 

Stephen Jean-Louis, 19, called himself the “Party God” of Palm Beach County, Florida, where he was known to throw wild parties at mansions. How a teenager could get access to multimillion-dollar homes was explained in an article last month by the Palm Beach Post:

When Alfred and Jan Malley leave town for the summer, they count on their property manager to keep watch of their $9.87 million house — located in the Estate Section of Palm Beach known for its large mansions.
One day this past May, the manager had his family over. Then his children told their friends about the house. And they told their friends. They spread flyers on social media advertising a “Palm Beach Island Pool Banger Mansion Party — Wet and Wild Edition.”
Unbeknownst to the Malleys, their home became the latest out-of-control blowout in Palm Beach County. . . .
At the Malley family’s Palm Beach mansion — five bedrooms, 7.5 baths on Clarendon Avenue with a pool and beach access — a video of the party circulating on the Internet documents drug use. The video shows women in bikini tops drinking alcohol straight from the bottle and men opening beer cans by smashing them on their heads and then chugging. . . .
The group that marketed the Palm Beach mansion party also promoted the “Palmghanistan” mansion party in Boynton Beach in June, according to social media accounts.
The owner of the Boynton waterfront home was in Germany and had the property rented through the HomeAway website. He believed an author was vacationing in the home with his family. Instead, about 500 people took over the home in the small cul-de-sac of Northeast 15th Place on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Women were allowed in free and men paid $5 before 10 p.m. and $10, after.
That party was broken up by police after only 90 minutes, but the organizers had their cash.
“The parties happen maybe once a month,” said one of the party organizers known as StephToTrill.
StephToTrill, who did not want his full name used in this story, said each party he’s involved in has two “party gods,” a DJ and a person who secures the home. He said he is one of the “party gods.”

Unfortunately for Stephen Jean-Louis, a/k/a “StephToTrill,” police say he was engaged in more than one kind of illegal enterprise:

Stephen Jean-Louis, who also goes by the name StephToTrill, robbed a city hair stylist of approximately $2,700 at gunpoint on June 23, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report.
According to the report, the stylist worked on Jean-Louis’ hair for nearly five hours, adding dreadlock extensions. When she asked him to pay, however, he pointed a gun at her and demanded the $800 inside the cash register, the $400 that was on top of her purse and the $1,500 that was inside of her purse.
Jean-Louis fled the salon and the salon owner contacted authorities the next day because she feared retaliation, she told deputies. Jean-Louis was arrested Sunday and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm and committing a felony while possessing a firearm.
Judge Caroline Shepherd [June 26] ordered Jean-Louis be held without bail on the robbery charge.

Matters have now gone from bad to worse for the erstwhile “Party God”:

A 19-year-old known for throwing mansion parties around Palm Beach County is accused of recording three teens having sex at one of those parties, according to a sheriff’s office report.
Stephen Jean-Louis, of suburban West Palm Beach, was arrested on July 15 and faces charges of transmitting child pornography, sexual cyberharrassment of another person and other associated charges. Jean-Louis was already in jail without bail for a June 25 arrest. . . .
On June 20, investigators say Jean-Louis advertised a party at 7282 Via Luria in the Isola Bella community, west of Florida’s Turnpike just south of Hypoluxo Road. . . .
On that Tuesday evening, a 16-year-old girl, 16-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were having sex in one of the five bedrooms of the two-story home. . . .
Investigators said while the three were having sex, Jean-Louis stood by recording their actions and posting it on his Snapchat account. At the end of the video, Jean-Louis, who goes by “Party God” and “StephToTrill,” flips the camera around to show himself smiling behind a pair of white sunglasses, according to the report.

Robbery and child pornography charges, in addition to the firearms charges, should be enough to put Jean-Louis away for a few years. A quick trip from Palm Beach mansions to “the big house” in Starke.

‘Trans non-binary queer’ Aryn Maitland

In January 2014, when I first wrote about the controversy between radical feminists and transgender activists, it seemed to me a bad joke. “The Competitive Victimhood Derby,” I called it — two rival tribes of left-wing nutjobs vying for the coveted Most Oppressed Award. Subsequent research, however, convinced me that the radical feminist nutjobs were actually right on the basic issue — being male or female is a fact of science, not subject to politically motivated revision — and transgender activists were wrongly seeking to hijack “gender identity” (and feminism, along with it) in a way that amounts to Female Erasure, to quote the title of a recent radical feminist anthology on the subject. “Facts are stubborn things,” as John Adams said, and there is something fundamentally dishonest about the ideology of the transgender cult.

Young people are becoming seriously confused by the transgender cult. Or perhaps the causation works the other way, and confused young people are magnetically attracted to the cult belief that, with the “treatment” of synthetic hormones and surgery, they can escape their adolescent woes by “transitioning” into the opposite sex. Feminists have identified the factor of social contagion in what they call “rapid-onset gender dysphoria.” Through the influence of peers, and also through online recruitment by transgender cultists, many teenagers are quite suddenly convinced that they were “born in the wrong body.” In a matter of months or even a few weeks, an otherwise healthy teenage will develop an obsession with “gender transition” and demand that parents not only accept their new transgender identity, but often threaten suicide unless parents support them in seeking hormone “treatment” immediately. This kind of emotional blackmail is part of the transgender cult’s ideology, as activists claim that anyone who opposes them is effectively sentencing teenagers to death by denying them acceptance and “health care.”

This brings us to the case of Aryn Maitland who, in April 2016, posted the following fundraising appeal on YouCaring.com:

Aryn Maitland is a 24 year-old trans non-binary (they/them) queer person living in the Sacramento, CA area. They are passionate about queer politics, disability rights, and fighting oppression.
Aryn has spent the past several years working and advocating for various nonprofit organizations, including (to name a few): Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Southern Poverty Law Center, and most recently, Progressive Employment Concepts. They have spent nearly two years with PEC, supporting disabled community members in self-advocacy and access to competitive integrated employment options.
However, in January of 2016, Aryn was forced to leave work to care for their physical and mental health. For two months, Aryn struggled to gain timely access to competent healthcare, particularly mental health services. In that time, they were hospitalized for four days after a suicide attempt, and spent several weeks in a daily Intensive Outpatient Program.
Aryn has since returned to work, but is struggling to pay off their medical bills.

So, after “fighting oppression” for “several years” with “various nonprofit organizations,” Aryn Maitland needed “mental health services.” A few weeks later, she/“they” added this informative update:

ONE WEEK UNTIL I START TESTOSTERONE!
For those who have been following my story, you probably know that starting testosterone has been a desire of mine for quite some time. During the time I was unable to work, I experienced setbacks in accessing competent transgender health services.
One week from today I will FINALLY be moving the process forward toward a more authentic life. I’m am excited and anxious for this next step.

It would appear, then, that her/“their” earlier mental-health crisis — in which Aryn was “forced to leave work” and hospitalized after a suicide attempt — was directly related to her/“their” gender transition.

Ask yourself a few questions: If this kind of “treatment” is truly a life-and-death issue for people like Aryn Maitland, shouldn’t coverage be mandated as part of health insurance? Wouldn’t it be transphobic to deny coverage for “transgender health services”? If states and communities pass laws prohibiting anti-LGBT discrimination, wouldn’t this logically require insurance companies to cover “transgender health services” in all policies? Furthermore, couldn’t the principle of “equality” as articulated by the Supreme Court majority in its 2015 Obergefell decision be applied to make coverage of “transgender health services” mandatory nationwide? Finally, is it not likely that the next time Democrats win the presidency and gain control of Congress, universal access to “transgender health services,” including coverage under Medicaid, will be enacted as a matter of law and policy?

What is the per-patient lifetime cost of transgender surgery, hormone treatment and psychological counseling? Whatever the total cost is, if health insurance coverage for transgender “treatment” were to be mandatory, this would likely result in skyrocketing insurance rates. If the principle of “non-discrimination” were to require taxpayers to subsidize transgender “treatment” for low-income patients, this might prove so expensive as to add to the fiscal woes of many cities and states already facing budget crises. To think of this as a matter of federal policy . . .

The mind boggles.

While we’re discussing mental health issues, let’s talk about paranoia. Some of you may be familiar with the so-called Cloward-Piven Strategy, an idea developed by radical intellectuals associated with the National Welfare Rights Organization, to overwhelm the welfare bureaucracy, bankrupt the government and thereby destroy capitalism. And if you were susceptible to conspiracy theories, the recent upsurge of transgender activism might inspire you to wonder whether the drive for LGBT “equality” (activists now promote transgenderism among kindergartners) is part of this strategy to destroy America.

Of course, you’d have to be crazy to believe such a far-fetched idea, but then again, “trans non-binary queer” Aryn Maitland is crazy enough to believe Republicans are killing her/“them.”

[ IMAGE DELETED ]

 

You see? There is a reason certain people have become emotionally attached to ObamaCare’s illusion of “free” healthcare for everybody, especially mandating coverage for pre-existing conditions.

How do people become so irrational as to believe that they are entitled to “free” transgender treatment? Well, once upon a time, before she became “they,” Aryn Maitland was a bright young student in Belleville, New York. Eryne Michele Daymont, to use her actual name, grew up in a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses and received an academic scholarship to attend prestigious St. Lawrence College, a private liberal arts school. Alas, by the first semester of her sophomore year in fall 2011, she was miserable — “gay, white, overweight” and wondering, “Where did my childhood go?” This became the subject of a 2012 appeal on the site CrowdRise:

In 2010 I began classes at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. With a $100,000 scholarship in hand, I bounded off to college and…hated it. I realized I wasn’t following my dream. I didn’t want to be a doctor, I didn’t want to be in northern New York, and I didn’t want to be in such awful debt. Annual tuition alone at SLU is upwards of $40,000 (add in the cost of room and board, books, etc., you’ll end up paying over $54,000).
So I left.
Now, I’ve decided to follow my dream. One year later, I’ve moved to the West Coast, the San Francisco Bay Area, to be exact. And I’m going back to college! I’m following my dream. In one year, I’ll be in LA, attending classes and making my life truly successful!
There’s still one problem…money. You see, I still owe St. Lawrence University $1,200 before they’ll release my transcripts. Without them, I can’t even apply to another college.

[ IMAGE DELETED ]

 

Eryne walked away from a $100,000 scholarship to follow her dream to San Francisco. Her plan to move to LA and return to school never happened. By 2016, she was issuing an ultimatum to her non-profit “progressive” employer that she should be called “Aryn” and “they/them.” She began taking testosterone and posting topless selfies (here and here) and otherwise blogging about transgenderism on — where else? — Tumblr. On Instagram, she calls herself “one half of a Leo-Aquarius Power Couple.” Good-bye, Jehovah’s Witnesses! Hello, astrology! And guess who was promoting a Women’s March fundraiser in San Francisco?

[ IMAGE DELETED ]

The ‘Leo-Aquarius Power Couple’ at a gay pride event in San Francisco.

As amusing as all this might seem in a point-and-laugh carnival-sideshow freak kind of way, we cannot ignore the human tragedy here. The diligent student who once won a Daughters of the American Revolution essay prize, and who aspired to become a doctor, is now living under a pseudonym, injecting herself with testosterone and posting topless selfies on the Internet. Feminists proclaim “The Future Is Female,” but it seems that The Future Is Trans Non-Binary Queer for Eryne/“Aryn.”

None of this would be subject to criticism, were it not for the fact that (a) Aryn has publicized her/“their” delusional follow-my-dream tale, and (b) transgender activism influences matters of public policy. Much of the “science” behind the transgender agenda was funded by federal research grants, and driven by taxpayer-subsidized academic activism at hundreds of universities where feminist gender theory is taught.

Feminism Is Queer, to quote Professor Mimi Marinucci, who is employed on the payroll of Eastern Washington University. Meanwhile, at the University of Oregon, the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies now offers a minor in Queer Studies.

What is remarkable is how proponents of Queer Theory have banished opposition from campus, by labeling criticism of their ideology as “hate,” so that the basic facts of human biology are in effect prohibited from discussion in academia. Whenever I write about the lunatic gibberish now being taught in Gender Studies programs, some commenter will inevitably remark that the people majoring in this nonsense will never be able to get jobs after graduation. However, consider what the University of Oregon says about its Queer Studies program:

Education, journalism, law, human resources, public policy, social services, and all the health professions require workers who have cutting-edge knowledge of diversity issues. Students who complete this minor can apply their knowledge to positions in government, industry, for-profit companies, and nonprofit organizations. Large companies and municipalities are hiring staff to work expressly with LGBT populations. In fact, a growing number of municipalities and cities in Oregon (Portland, Multnomah County, Eugene, and Ashland, for example) have enacted domestic partnership legal status for same-sex couples and families, leading to a need for individuals with expertise in the fields of human resources, legal counseling, and political activism. Help expand opportunities in this important area.

Identity politics produces a demand for government programs, and universities are training the future bureaucrats who will run LGBT programs and who, of course, will be employed at taxpayer expense. Meanwhile, there are career opportunities in “journalism” and “political activism” (insofar as these are still separate fields of endeavor, e.g., the editors of Teen Vogue promoting anal sex). If “the personal is political,” as feminists declare, then politics turns into nothing but a constant stream of demands for an ever-increasing number of government programs to provide “solutions” to an ever-increasing number of personal problems, based on the assumption that taxpayers will pay the bills.

But what happens if we run out of taxpayers? What if every confused teenager dropped out of college to follow their dream into irresponsible craziness, becoming non-profit activists for transgenderism or some other progressive cause, dependent on “free” healthcare and other government programs to help them cope with life? America already has a $20 trillion national debt, with budget deficits as far as the eye can see.

“The problem with socialism,” Margaret Thatcher said, “is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” And the problem with feminism is, eventually you run out of other people’s daughters.

Eyrne Daymont (a/k/a “Aryn Maitland”) is unlikely ever to become a mother and, because it proverbially “takes two to tango,” the same may be said for whatever girlfriends she/“they” may choose as her/“their” companions as she/“they” follow her/“their” dream of trans non-binary queer life. As I’ve often remarked, feminism steers women toward the Darwinian Dead End, because childlessness is the feminist ideal of “liberation.” The long-term consequences of this insanity will be a sort of mass-extinction event, as many millions of vulnerable young people are recruited into the progressive cult where abortion, contraception, promiscuity, homosexuality and transgenderism are worshipped with sacred devotion. Or maybe there will be some kind of geological cataclysm. Massive earthquakes, volcano eruptions and tsunami floods wiping the San Francisco region off the map, leaving Nancy Pelosi with no constituents to represent in Congress, and all the activist types in Berkeley buried in a latter-day Pompeii, never to be unearthed until some future archaeologist discovers their skeletal remains.

We don’t have enough lunatic asylums in America to house all these weirdos and nutjobs, and there’s not enough money in the world to pay for all the outpatient treatment they’ll need. The next time you’re debating health care, remember this: Crazy is a pre-existing condition.
