Being WOKE must be optional if you are a Democrat.\u201d It is, and Jenner should not hold his breath for leftist outrage over the comedian\u2019s remark.<\/p>\n<p>But like a stopped clock twice a day, Kimmel is correct: \u201ctrans women\u201d are simply men with wigs on. There is no such thing as a \u201ctrans woman.\u201d It is not possible to be \u201ca woman trapped inside a man\u2019s body\u201d because our bodies constitute part of ourselves. The imaginary category of \u201ctrans woman\u201d derives from the ancient heresy of Gnosticism, which asserts the evil of the physical world, the good of the spiritual world, and the necessity of secret knowledge for salvation. It has cropped up on several occasions over the millennia under the names of Manichaeism, Marcionism, and Albigensianism, among others, and it remains as false today as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Most conservatives understand this fact of nature. They know that Kimmel is right and Jenner wrong. Unfortunately, in their zeal to own the libs, some conservatives seem keen to take Jenner\u2019s side of the dispute, reality be damned. But who exactly is owning whom? As Bruce himself noted, \u201cbeing woke\u201d is \u201coptional if you are a Democrat.\u201d Are some giggles at leftists\u2019 shameless ideological inconsistency really worth the cost of embracing their radical redefinition of human nature?<\/p>\n<p>In his hit music video \u201cSnowflakes,\u201d rapper Tom McDonald features Blaire White, a relatively right-wing \u201ctrans woman.\u201d Blaire appears onscreen for the ostensibly conservative purpose of mocking the present mania over pronouns. \u201cHe, she, his, him, hers, them, they,\u201d Blaire sings, \u201cscrew a pronoun, \u2019cause everyone\u2019s a retard these days.\u201d The speech ridicules woke ideology, but in his very pretense to womanhood, the speaker embodies it.<\/p>\n<p>One YouTube commenter celebrated McDonald\u2019s decision to include Blaire in the video as a way \u201cto illustrate how \u2018we\u2019 are not the hateful and intolerant ones.\u201d Another YouTube commenter inferred, \u201cHe\u2019s saying, \u2018I\u2019m not transphobic, I\u2019m against and refuse to accept your premise, in general.\u2019\u201d In other words, \u201cLeftists are the&nbsp;<em>real<\/em> transphobes.\u201d But they are not. Leftists by and large accept transgenderism; conservatives, in general, do not \u2014 at least until recently.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing \u201chateful and intolerant\u201d about acknowledging reality, nor does such an acknowledgement connote an irrational fear, or \u201cphobia.\u201d One suspects most conservatives still understand that the body and soul are bound together and that men cannot become women. Yet some will say otherwise to score cheap points against a political opponent. Conservatives keenly perceive the Left\u2019s hypocrisy. Too bad they fail to see their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
