So athletics associations are deciding peoples gender now??

Yes. Track and Field in particular is dying on its feet because of years of doping scandal on doping scandal.
Basically if you say you are in actual fact a lesbian kangaroo with a foot fetish then they will agree with you just to stop you from heading off to play basketball instead.

That illustration is gross. Yup, I find menstrual discharge gross. That’s not me self-hating my womanliness, in case anyone says. There are many bodily secretions I find disgusting.

There is a subtext in the illustration. Some transmen got into a free bleeding campaign to illustrate that men bleed too. Probably pics on google. I reckon thats why they have bloody pants, a nod to that campaign. I remember the first time I saw a free bleeding image I made the same Ew recoil as when I saw a very hairy person with a beard, hairy chest, male pattern baldness and big boobies feeding a wee newborn. There is only so much cognitive dissonance the brain can take

BoJack Horseman

The degenerate establishment elite don't slow down to take a breath

They are now looking into the current illegality status of inbreeding

As reported in The Times

The commission will also look at the law on incest, which criminalises vaginal sexual intercourse between blood relatives.

What a time to be alive in the brave new "liberal" Ireland.

I don't doubt that pedophilia is next on the list

I think it's important to remember that most people find this stuff to be nonsensical, ridiculous and largely pathetic. People are too busy trying to get by to engage in naval gazing about gender identity. As far as I can see the people who obsess over these things are largely bored middle class (mostly millennial) people who are very comfortable in life and feel they need something to feel oppressed over (this applies to a lot of these social justice activist types).

That said, what should concern us is the power and influence this tiny group of activists seem to hold in our society. Why is there so much coverage in relation to these minority issues that hardly affect anyone?

Somebody would want to educate them on what being a man actually is, because it sure as **** isn’t any of those things.

Free Bleeding began as a prank on 4chan to start a moronic fake SJW movement and see if any idiots would take the bait. I still remember how ecstatic the celebratory thread was when, some time later, it all culminated in some eejit running a marathon with blood streaming down her legs as a contribution to the movement.

It was, just like the whole “it’s okay to be white” and “bikini bridge” trolling operations, entirely an exercise in showing how stupid people become with a herd mentality and the power of viral memes, and depressingly it has yet to fail in stirring up real-life bullish!t when provoked.

Oh, thats interesting. Didnt know that. I read that book on the Chan sites by Angela Nagle, they are a very interesting phenomenon. I do think some of the utter madness accompanying this identitarian movement is transgressive kids sh1t stirring. And no matter how mad anything is you have a portion of people who row in to its defense. Which is odd.

4chan became highly nihilistic during the mid-2010s when it became clear that SJWs were actually winning the brewing culture war and succeeding in injecting their repressive agenda into mainstream society. They essentially morphed from trying to fight it and fix it, to taking a scorched earth "burn it all down, it's beyond saving" approach to society. That's why they appear, to the outside observer, to have very radically shifted from being largely left wing in the 2000s and early 2010s to extremely right wing since 2014 or thereabouts.

They opposed regressive identity politics from the start, but they now genuinely believe in a sort of accelerationist, nihilistic outlook of "chaos is our friend". A lot of them supported Trump, Brexit etc not because they thought they were good political decisions, but because they believe that the only way to undo the identity politics paradigm we've entered is to bring the entire status quo of Western politics chaotically crashing down and rebuilding it from the ashes. It's very widely believed in the media that they genuinely support such people and ideas, and a lot of them do, but from my own interactions with them there's a far bigger cohort who are thinking more along the lines of the biblical concept of a Great Flood to wipe the slate clean. Trump would obliterate a large chunk of the American status quo and America's foreign influence, Brexit would do the same in Europe. As they view the entrenched status quo in the West as completely unpalatable, the idea of someone just smashing it to pieces with a sledgehammer became very appealing, with the possibility that the void left behind could be filled with something less unpalatable.

The social experiments and pranks they play on the media are basically part of that, they're trying to showcase how f*cked everything is in their eyes in response to the question of "why do you favour chaos".

I obviously don't support what they're doing, but I do sympathise hugely with a lot of the motivations behind it. Identity politics, cancel culture, censorship, culturally enforced limitations on artistic freedom, political sacred cows which nobody is allowed to talk about without being punished for doing so, these things are the result of the identity politics mob (AKA "The Twitterati") being given far too much unchecked influence in society, and while I don't believe in burning everything down to get rid of them, I do understand why so many people are so frustrated and fed up that they would view this as a good option to choose.

^^^I noticed some of those sentiments building about a decade ago online. In fringe places. The bewildering attraction to a "cleansing" chaos. I thought it was / is a symptom of depression and powerlessness. I can understand its origins, because there is a lot of powerlessness in an increasingly globalised technocracy but I find the urge towards obliterating chaos to be deeply childish and symptomatic of historical ignorance. And yet I see traces of it on all sides now. It may be subtle. Also apathy is another way to embrace chaos. Passively. Moral relativism is chaotic apathy ( in my opinion).

In the places I interacted with people online in the past I observed many fairly conservative people with poorly understood occultic influences and this recurring religious desire for Ordo Ab Chao. A leaning towards a fundamentalist Christianity, some Islam, occasional Eastern netaphysics, in general poorly understood, but all strongly influenced by Gnosticism.
Personally I think the movie The Matrix was a huge game changer in fringe culture and this has seeped out. Must admit I was very lukewarm in my appreciation of it.
Its complicated. This whole area. The culture wars. The weirdness. An entangled web.
