First the following caveat. I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, or anything involved in the medical profession, not even to play one on T.V. I’m just a guy in I.T., so I work in solutions to problems in a logical manner. This means that I could be wrong in everything what I’m about to go into, if someone says “hey you forgot this” then that’s fine.
The topic I’m going to write about is how this current generation, I feel, is basically becoming disposable. We first see how the COVID lockdowns have caused emotional issues and educational declines across the board. On top of that we have the near exponential increase in new genders as well as “tranny story time”. What could possibly explain all this?
Let me first ask you, can you think of your favorite “coming-of-age” movie? Mine immediately comes to Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, even Stand By Me and Stand and Deliver come to mind. There’s a theme among a lot of these movies that resonate among all of us, which I’m going to delve into.
Looking through human development, from newborn, infant, toddler, child, pre-teen, teen, young adult, adult and even elderly, we see there are distinct and measurable changes to the body and brain structure. Passing from one to the other, puberty most notably, has distinct development that we all have undergone.
As an example, going back from my college years mumblemumble years ago….. anyway, I did in fact take a Psychology course, though I couldn’t actually admit how well I did. But what I do remember is this study where they took these children, around five and six, and asked a simple question. There was a brick of clay, and a second brick all squished to a layer of about quarter of an inch. They were then asked which has more clay, and each one said the brick. Now you and I would look at that and say they’re the same amount, however children of that age, they concluded, don’t have the part of the brain that deals with spatial awareness developed yet. A quick example, you cover your face before an infant and it actually believes you’re gone, oh there I am giggle.
Going through a quick discussion on human development, children are given the boundaries of life: don’t touch that, it’s hot, look both ways before you cross the street, don’t talk to strangers, always listen to your teacher/parent/police officer, and on. Some are taught better than others, but this is the fence that is created around us.
Coming to pre-teen and teenager stage, this is where we all start to develop our ego, our personality, etc. We push against those fences, some hold and others not so well. We all go through this, the “rebellious stage”, where we’re all trying to define who we are, and this is necessary for normal human development.
There is a book that those in the psychological field use, call the DSM, which lists every neurosis and such, from biting your nails to schizophrenia, just about everything that goes on in the human mind. If we were to actually go by this book though I would say about 80% of the human population is insane, but that’s just me, and the guy talking in my head.
The reason why I mention this is that I’m sure there is some list or book or what-have-you that lists all the various personality traits that each and every one of us has. And during these formative years, these teens go through many of them to define who they are. Are you introverted or extroverted? Are you musically or artistically inclined? Are you the jock, the brain, the princess, the basket case or the criminal? This is why I asked that question, we all can relate to these movies because we lived through this, we were these people or knew of them in school. Yeah, she was the goth moody chick, that one, oh yeah he was in that club, chess I think. Oh remember the guy that shoved you in the locker? Whoooo that was a time.
This is a necessary step in our mental well-being and development, we try something, this didn’t fit so we try that, and that sticks into adulthood. And it can be very rough-and-tumble, which is why we as adults try to be there to help and give perspective. It is unfortunate that this happens but it has to happen for us to develop healthy lives, relationships, skills and solid mental health.
Now here’s the problem.
Some nimrod in higher academia, who tried to justify tenure, decided to take these formative years that we all take, all the pain and turmoil and doubt and confusion and indecision, and rename it: your gender. If you were to actually listen and look at the online listings of these pronouns and such, what you come across is “oh, that’s a personality trait, and that too. That, oh I did that in high school but not today.”
Every one of these children are being lied to, saying that all these necessary developmental changes are in fact a go-cart. A what? About as meaningless as what is being proposed now as “gender”. If this ignorant teachers’-lounge-lizard had claimed it was their zubo, would anyone listen? But oh, gender, well I know what that is, but apparently I didn’t and now I have to fix it.
This is becoming increasingly hard for this generation, where they’re being told this as truth, but reality has a way of reminding you it doesn’t like being ignored. With interest. At some point these young adults to adults are going to be tapped on the shoulder by reality, and I fear there will be a huge mental health crisis among them, perhaps in under thirty years.
It even becomes more chronic when you add in several factors. First, who here hasn’t, at some point in your lives, had your name mistakenly pronounced wrong. I certainly have, it’s fine, sometimes it can be amusing. However if I were to “misgender” someone what happens? Is there a sigh and an eye-roll? No, instead there is anger and hostility, up to and including assaults, cancel-culture, or worse. Being a new “gender” has essentially given a free license to become a bully. Without consequence. Which is why I say reality is going to correct this eventually, and it will be harsh on these kids, with hard prison instead of the actual mental help they need.
The main reason they are being indulged like this is because there are those that actually gain power from this happening. Right now these kids are enjoying that sweet sweet cream of righteous rage because they’re being allowed to, but once it’s no longer beneficial to these power-brokers they are going to get dropped. Hard. And suddenly it’s no longer cute what lil’ Johnny is doing to the cat.
The next facet is peer pressure and quite frankly racism. These kids are being told that to be “normal” is to be something ultra-bizarre. And like Bill Paxton asking “you’re not a demon, are you”, if a kid is asked what pronouns are used, and uses the wrong ones, there’s horrendous pressure brought to bear. So play it safe….umm….I’m not a cis-white-male, they’re evil….umm I’m a two-spirit-bear. This, I believe, is what’s pushing hard for these kids to be trans recently, “you don’t want to be that evil thing, be something else, oh and chop off that while you’re at it”. Again, this path is unsustainable and as we’re seeing with a growing number of regret-transition stories, it’s only going to accelerate.
Which leads to the tranny story time. The political discourse in America up to the eighties were a gentle warfare between the parties, you win some you lose some but each side stayed fairly cordial with each other. The story of Tip O’Neil getting along with President Reagan comes to mind. This changed in the 90’s with the Clinton Presidency. During this time scandal, which would have caused party leaders to quietly remove the “issue” at hand, was reconfigured as a weapon against the other party. Every charge that was leveled at Bill and Hillary Clinton was slapped aside as a “right-wing conspiracy”. The democrat party evolved to becoming the party of zero consequence, which endures to this day. Every allegation, legitimate or not, is then short-circuited and brought back hard by corrupted media, governmental agencies, and academia.
As we saw this evolution, each phase had a distinct development. Where once democrats were against illegal immigration, gay marriage, anti-war, and a host of others, today we see them in direct opposition to those fundamentals. It is as if they purposefully see a stance the Right takes and goes directly opposite, even on logic, facts, history or agree principles a few short years earlier. Barak Obama was against gay marriage, then suddenly for it. Today anti-war politicians are hungry for the war in Ukraine. Again, that sweet sweet cream just feels so goooood going down.
Which means that when there are people, such as parents, that are sounding off on tranny story time, boys in girls locker rooms and sports, they feel compelled to be in exact opposite. And, feel virtuous in doing so. This is the most troubling aspect of all.
This also means that, given a decade or two, after the damage has been done, when the political wind shifts and it’s no longer advantageous for this party, they will turn to the opposite once more. And again, these kids are going to be cut off hard.
I honestly don’t have a solution to this. On one hand it’s necessary to define the problem before going towards a solution. But in my field, when circuit-breakers have been tampered to not trip, when the monitors are set where you can’t see what is legitimately wrong in the system, when there are those that gain from the upcoming firestorm that they cause, it’s difficult to see which wire to cut first. I only hope the fall for these kids can be cushioned somehow, but with any addict you need to let them hit that rock-bottom.
