I hope you're right that gender theory is waning, but key cultural institutions are still pushing these absurdities...hard.

Science cuts both way. My fear is that so-called progressives will use it to argue that the age of consent should be lowered to the onset of puberty. The sexualization of kids has been going on with a frenzy lately and I can see them argue that a child should be able to partake in the full joys of sex once puberty begins. I put absolutely nothing past these people.

Facetiousness is a good weapon here, not to mention material for a fortress in those happy places where everyone is in on the joke.

Last time someone asked me where my mask was, I simply laughed with incredulity, and they hindered me no further. That's how it looks in retreat - those who are dupes of the moment wither inside to be thought of as dupes of YESTERDAY'S moment - but if anyone ever accuses me of treachery for not wanting to give Ukraine the treatment we gave every other country we've put soldiers into since 1975, I intend to assure them that no, I'm still on wanting them to die of covid.

A good comment. And I even had the thought when writing this, is EVEN BOTHERING TO TAKE THEM THIS SERIOUSLY a mistake? Well, we all have our role here.

What would be the pathologies of a society consisting only of truth-centric people? Paralysis? Self-righteousness?
