Like why “Brunettes are the Best”, especially when they’re 17 YO “influencers” reading a script attempting to explain why the dumbocrats have sent the price of “gas” through the roof.

The leftwits’ best chance at avoiding electoral annihilation in November is getting and properly keeping the young and very young onside.

Social media is quick, easy and the concept of the short, sharp punchy and colourful meme (being a USMC psych warfare concept from the 1960s) to get your point across plays well on TikTok.

The problem being is,as we know, that most young folks are led by the heart, not the head. And the attention spans are plummeting. So a well-crafted 20 second propaganda piece that says WussiaWussiaWussia in bright colours and a boppy soundtrack works better than 2 to 5 minutes of the same lady explaining on YouTube, the massive raft of economy-crashing policy changes Sniffy Joe’s handlers imposed from Day One of his Presidency.

(I like the latter- Conservative chicks look and sound far cluier than their lefty counterparts. But I am a little biased…)

Was Wong Bills squeeze or some other pollie’s, cant remember, but she did had a chance to have a child by conventional means before she became a chap.

My point is that Kitching went along with the charade, then claimed victimhood.

Wut?

Can you jump start an SUV?

Even if young girls follow Miss Hourglass they do not vote so influencing them is useless in the midterms election.

I think the idea is to make their Narrative so widespread and entrenched by any means necessary, that voteherds now and in the future are in its thrall.

The only way to explain it is to appeal to the Lefties’ totalitarian mindset- Everyone must know and comply with the Narrative.

Or we just write it off as just another example of the madness of the age… 🙂

Non collectivists, not so much. 🙁

I begs to differ!

Such finesse, those ruskies.

Surely someone else here has grabbed a handful of something unexpected at least once.

I once squished a sneaky cat turd into my glove while scooping iron shot out from under a sandblaster.

I wondered what the smell was, then saw the nasty on my hand. The logical brain had twigged almost immediately what was going on and what courses of corrective action I needed to take. I didn’t reckon on my hindbrain’s revulsion reaction being significantly slower off the mark and not settling for another half an hour and 3 consecutive barfs.

First and only time I’ve sworn at myself mid-hurl.

Working on my own at the back of the workshop and having access to multiple empty paint buckets was helpful…

re Japanese intentions for Australia: It’s ‘alternative history’ fiction but John Hooker’s ‘Bush Soldiers’, which imagines a small cadre of Diggers hitting an occupied Broken Hill and making off into the scrub, is a decent read.

Read it about 30 years ago and the image, from the final chapters, of the dead dog on the chain remains.

Evacuate everyone ahead of the advance. Keep retreating and keep ambushing them as you go. It doesn’t matter if they get a port, as long as you’re making them bleed, eventually they will run out of political steam.

I don’t remember which one it was maybe the Hungarian Ambassador said to Stalin after the Vyazma* catastrophe – “Don’t surrender, even if you have to retreat to the Urals.” He was right.
The link is from a Soviet source and contains an amusing mistranslation of the German word ‘Kessel’ for ‘Cauldron’ and translates it to ‘boiler’.

Hang On, Was This All Planned?
With calls for a no-fly zone in Ukraine as well as a massive increase in arms by the U.S. and NATO to Ukraine, are we sure military escalation is the quickest way to achieve an end to this war, and if not, is anyone profiting from it?

Reporting back on my attempted comments in The Australian. As I told Gab, Winston, I kept it fairly mild re acceptance of transgender individuals because I didn’t want the Oz to use that to slam the comment. Might as well have gone for broke, because the following two comments were rejected out of hand, immediately. Some graduate of a school of journalism I once knew hard at work I expect.

A change in the current testosterone level requirement will not alter the fact that even with newer rules about transgender competitors women will still have to compete against a male’s broad frame, narrower pelvis, greater musculature and more capacious heart and lungs. These all develop in males during puberty and continue into early adulthood to grow and change.

Men who ‘feel’ they are women are not actually women. They should be treated with courtesy as per their desires where it is simply a matter of social acceptance of their personal choice. But we need to be able to say, without censorship, that trans women are not born women in a physiological sense and they should not compete in physical events with born women.

Congratulations to that bloke who just won the swimming.

He is a fine figure of a man.

Oh, he’s a woman? Forgive me, I only looked at the picture.
Obviously seeing is not believing.

Bern, btw, I saw your comment re me ‘dishing it out but not taking it’. I think that’s the sort of comment (and me making an angry response about it) that Dover wants to avoid, which is what my comment about ‘rules’ agreed with; the Cat is about the only place where a comment such as the transgender one above can be published. If Dover were to impose a twitter-type censorship of that or other substantive matters then we would have cause to complain and leave – which is all that I said. I also said I did not think Dover would ever do such a thing.

I won’t be here much anyway

The Johannes Leak cartoon today is gold — this used to be women’s work is a beauty, Gemma Tognini has a great article in the Oz (Nobody takes down a woman like another woman) when is Peta Credlin going to accuse that crepey-legged, skinned-rabblt armed, doe-eyed, Malcolm-worshipping anorexic scrag of bullying?

But a police officer, speaking anonymously because they are not authorised to speak to the press, said violent crime involving knives and young people had never been worse nor more brutal.

I don’t think the best way out of this ‘cultural’ mode is to ‘educate’ the relevant yoof.

I think making it hurt them in some way to be found carrying a knife would be far more effective.
Prison for those old and bad enough, night time curfew for others with threat of prison and what used to be called borstal (boys home) for those breaking curfew, parental payment of fines, removal of Centrelink benefits, a stint in the army reserve (sorry, army, to do that to you) etc. All would be significant ways of ‘changing the culture’.

From the Oz this morning by Shari Markson. It’s not just all rumour; here are Kitching’s own views:

Senator Kimberley Kitching wrote about the need to stop bullying and make parliament a safer workplace in a letter penned after she was hauled into Kristina ­Keneally’s office and dumped from Labor’s tactics committee. In the letter, Kitching – who died of a suspected heart attack on March 10 – said the Labor caucus should reflect on the difference ­between the “entirely normal contest of political rivals or rival ideas and what could reasonably be characterised as a campaign of bullying”.

“Standards in workplaces have changed and we should all think about the application of those standards to ensure a safe workplace for everyone here,” she wrote.

She finalised the seven-page letter and printed it out to deliver by hand to Senator Keneally – deputy leader of the opposition in the Senate – on June 21, 2021.

Kitching had been hauled into a closed-door meeting the week before with Keneally where she was wrongly accused of disloyalty and siding with Liberal minister Linda Rey­nolds over the Brittany Higgins allegations. Instead of ­delivering the document, Kitching chose to have a one-on-one meeting with Richard Marles to present her case as outlined in her letter.

That meeting took place the next day, June 22, at 3.30pm in his office. “She felt Richard was the most senior person in the leadership group and in the Right (faction) who could protect her from this,” a source close to her told The Weekend Australian.

Kitching raised with Marles how she was being frozen out by the Senate leadership team and spoke about being unfairly dumped from the tactics committee – a senior group that meets daily to decide on question time strategy.

Marles has come under pressure this week over what ­action he took – if any – after Kitching raised her concerns with him, as first ­revealed by The Australian on Wednesday. Marles has refused to address the questions, citing ­respect for Kitching and her family ahead of her funeral on Monday. Kitching’s letter has been provided to The Weekend Australian by those close to her after a week in which senior Labor figures sought to dismiss any suggestion she was subject to unfair treatment by Penny Wong and Keneally. Friends say Kitching was subject to a pattern of hostile behaviour by senior Labor figures that resulted in her being frozen out and ostracised. Wong on Friday said she apologised to Senator Kitching after saying during a heated meeting that she wouldn’t understand the climate change emergency ­because she didn’t have children. Kitching had been unable to have children.

Kitching’s letter provided a detailed rebuttal to claims she warned Reynolds, the then defence minister, about the Higgins affair.

In the letter, she wrote that there was “obviously, generally, a fine line between the entirely normal contest of political rivals or rival ideas and what could be reasonably characterised as a campaign of bullying.

“That’s something I think all senators should reflect on, within our caucus and beyond it.

“Standards in workplaces have changed and we should all think about the application of those standards to ensure a safe workplace for everyone here.”

Kitching calls for a “fair, transparent process” for dealing with matters like hers and says it should be a matter of discussion at Labor caucus.

“While Senator Reynolds’ claims are easily dispensed with, as I have demonstrated, that might not always be the case in these situations, so a fair, transparent process for dealing with these matters is probably welcome and prudent,” she wrote.

“Outlining how you think this might work going forward might be usefully discussed at a Senate caucus meeting.”

Kitching noted that she frequently heard “lurid things” Wong had said about her and others.

In the context of disputing the credibility of Reynolds’ claims that Kitching had pre-warned her about the Higgins saga, Kitching writes that there are often scurrilous rumours that turn out to be lies. “Obviously enough, if we were to accept as fact every claim made about us by Liberals, there would be no-one left in the caucus,” she wrote.

From Medscape – a long article with many case studies of transitioning regret and inability to get help in detransitioning. Also a recognition that many young people become obsessed with online sites pushing transitioning in the first place, in a form of psychological mindsetting. Slowly being recognised as an issue of great and under-reported significance.

Doctors Have Failed Them, Say Those With Transgender Regret
Alicia Ault

March 14, 2022

In a unique Zoom conference, a number of detransitioners enumerated the ways they said the medical establishment initially failed them when they transitioned to the opposite gender, and again, when they decided to go back to their natal gender.

The forum was convened on what was dubbed #DetransitionAwarenessDay by Genspect, a parent-based organization that seeks to put the brakes on medical transitions for children and adolescents. The group has doubts about the gender-affirming care model supported by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and other medical groups.

“Affirmative” medical care is defined as treatment with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for those with gender dysphoria to transition to the opposite sex and is often followed by gender reassignment surgery. However, there is growing concern among many doctors and other healthcare professionals as to whether this is, in fact, the best way to proceed for those under aged 18, in particular, with several countries pulling back on medical treatment and instead emphasizing psychotherapy first.

The purpose of the second annual Genspect meeting, held March 12, was to shed light on the experiences of individuals who have detransitioned — those that identified as transgender and transitioned, but then decided to end their medical transition. People logged on from all over the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Chile, and Brazil, among other countries.

“This is a minority within a minority,” said Genspect advisor Stella O’Malley, adding that the first meeting in 2021 was held because “too many people were dismissing the stories of the detransitioners.” O’Malley is a psychotherapist, a clinical advisor to the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine, and a founding member of the International Association of Therapists for Desisters and Detransitioners.

“It’s become blindingly obvious over the last year that…’detrans’ is a huge part of the trans phenomenon,” said O’Malley, adding that detransitioners have been “undermined and dismissed.”

Laura Edwards-Leeper, PhD (@DrLauraEL), a prominent gender therapist who has recently expressed concern regarding adequate gatekeeping when treating youth with gender dysphoria, agreed.

She tweeted: “You simply can’t call yourself a legit gender provider if you don’t believe that detransitioners exist. As part of the informed consent process for transitioning, it is unethical to not discuss this possibility with young people.” Edwards-Leeper is professor emeritus in the School of Graduate Psychology at Pacific University in Hillsboro, Oregon.
