We are decadent. And we are going to fall hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You might wish to believe that you can get away by ignoring this phenomenon, ascribing it to the cultural fringes. You could not possibly be more wrong. The ideology that celebrates what Gabriel Mac has done to herself is normative among American elites, and that means that it controls the future of our society. This ideology is coming for you and your kids. You had better wake up now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mac, the author, has a tortured <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gabriel_Mac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">history<\/a>&nbsp;that is entwined with her journalistic <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/reporter-mac-mcclelland-violent-sex-ease-post-traumatic\/story?id=13995013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coverage<\/a> of war-torn countries.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>In the <em>New York Magazine<\/em> article, Mac&nbsp;tried to <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/gabriel-mac-essay.html?utm_campaign=nym&amp;utm_source=tw&amp;utm_medium=s1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explain<\/a> her radical, life-changing surgery:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If there was anything I had learned in transitioning, it was that what was right for me was rarely what, according to my patriarchal, heterosexist, racist, capitalist acculturation, \u201cmade sense\u201d \u2014 which, obviously, could only be to live as a sexually available cute-lady vessel capable of carrying white babies. It\u2019s impossible to articulate and maybe even to know exactly why my vagina is integral to my power and my personhood. \u201cI cannot wait to be more masculine so I can be more feminine,\u201d I used to write in journals as I started transitioning and realized, though I didn\u2019t quite understand why, that was what I needed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The fuel powering the transgender trend is the unfair treatment of women and the increasingly toxic pressure of online pornography and social media on young women, said Chart, a left-wing feminist.<\/p>\n<p>People need to address civic and personal problems without resorting to quick-fix pseudo-cures, she said.&nbsp;For example, people recognize that quick-fix cures cannot solve their desire to eat heavily and also stay slim, she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Everybody knows how to be healthy. They know you can\u2019t overeat. You\u2019ve got to exercise more. Everybody knows that. But what people want is some kind of pill they can take so they don\u2019t have to do that work of controlling themselves and exercising. We want the easy path. Everybody wants that. It\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of. But you have to struggle with [reality] and look for the thing that\u2019s productive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The message to young women facing sexual and sexist pressure, she said, should be understanding and support, not surgical rejection of their sex: \u201cLook, I know you\u2019re struggling with life, I can tell. But this [sex change option] is not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chart continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Until [sympathetic] people can really grapple with that [message], there is no solution because theywill keep struggling with wanting to be kind and not realizing that \u2026 accepting this untruth [of sex change by hormones and sex change] means telling troubled young women that they need to go get their breasts cut off, it means telling troubled young men that probably castration is there a better option.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The civic problem is worsened by progressive men who are eager to downplay their sexist dismissal of women, she said. \u201cProgressive men believe that they are not sexist, ever \u2026so, therefore, they don\u2019t have to listen to women \u2026 Women don\u2019t have the power to speak up against it within the progressive movement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17583794\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AP_17089688709992.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17583794\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AP_17089688709992.jpg\" alt=\"Leon Weiler, of Cambridge, Mass., top, holds a flag while standing with other protesters in support of transgender rights beside the &quot;Free Speech Bus,&quot; painted with the words &quot;boys are boys&quot; and &quot;girls are girls,&quot; in the Harvard Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Thursday, March 30, 2017.
