Human Rights Campaign demands NYT stick to the narrative

The Human Rights Campaign is one of the premier propaganda outlets for the alphabet people. They were always pretty hard Left, but as with the SPLC, they morphed into a narrative enforcement militia as their original demands were met. Once gay marriage became the law of the land they needed new demons to slay.

No organization folds when its mission is complete–they need new causes to fight for, new revenue sources, and new boogymen to fight.

Apparently, the HRC has decided that the New York Times is a good boogyman because the Times has allowed dissent about the invasion of men into women’s spaces to appear on their pages. There apparently can be no debate about whether people with penises or people who formerly had penises, should replace women or invade their privacy. The transgendered must be affirmed, embraced, allowed to prey on children, and swing their wee willies in women’s locker rooms and replace women in sports.

John wrote a piece recently about the New York Times actually allowing somebody to use its pages to defend J.K. Rowling against the cancel crowd that has been doing its best to destroy the author.

This dissent is unacceptable, and the Human Rights Campaign is determined to stop it before truth bombs start dropping around them.

Everyone deserves to live with safety, dignity, privacy and freedom from discrimination. But anti-equality extremists are spreading propaganda and creating more stigma, discrimination and violence, especially against transgender and non-binary people.

Join the Human Rights Campaign in demanding that the New York Times listen to trans people and their families, hire more transgender and non-binary reporters and editors, and stop publishing anti-trans stories today.

I don’t know the roster of New York Times employees, but I think it is pretty safe to say that the bigotry displayed in their pages isn’t generally directed at members of the alphabet crowd, but rather those of us in flyover country whose beliefs are annoyingly somewhere to the right of Karl Marx.

I would even be willing to bet that the Times employs trans people at a rate higher than the population would warrant and that their DEI passports are stamped with visas from every imaginary land represented in the rainbow. The Times, in other words, reserves its bigotry for you and me.

What is at stake for the HRC and the trans-activists has nothing to do with defending the rights of transgendered people. Very few people actually want to restrict the actual rights of transgendered people. Critics of the movement want to defend our own rights to speak, have opinions, maintain the privacy of our own, and defend our children from indoctrination.

The Times doesn’t even want that. They are just suggesting that the activists stick to attacking genuine critics of the transgender movement, not people like J.K. Rowling.

This is the kind of “hate” the HRC and the activists want to suppress:

What the HRC and the alphabet crowd want is the unlimited right to do precisely what they want, suppress any speech they don’t like, and recruit children inside and outside the schools at will.

In other words, they want to be tyrants. Nobody I know wants to harm transgendered people as people; we want to stop the transgender movement from invading our spaces. We, too, have rights. Including the right to disagree with them, or even assert the obvious fact that they are mentally ill.

“Dysphoria,”–the reason transgender people get hormone treatment and surgery–is literally a mental illness. Look it up. It is a state of mind, not a physical defect. It is like depression and anxiety, for which we no longer perform lobotomies in the way we sterilize and mutilate people.

I am not in the habit of defending The New York Times but defend them I must. As with you and me, they must retain the right to speak without fear of censorship, and it is that right that is being attacked. Just as ours are.

The Left’s war on independent thought is very real, and they give no quarter. We shouldn’t either.

In war, you find allies where you can. In this case, we must be allies with the Times. For as short a time as possible.
