“They” is the New “Beta”

So the perversion tsunami that is drowning the world has hit close to home. My buddy Mike has a son who is about 32, and he has informed Mike that his pronouns are “he” and “they.”

I’ll call the son Buford. Buford is going to play music at some kind of event, and Buford told Mike his friend James (real name) will also be playing. James has an album coming out.

Mike has tried to explain James to me, but, possibly because I care so little about understanding and pretending to validate lunacy, I have not made a good effort to commit it all to memory. I seem to recall Mike saying James is not a full-throttle homosexual. I may be wrong, but I think James is like Schrodinger’s cat. Not sure of his sex or preference until sufficient observation has been done.

I think James is like Schrodinger’s particles because his nature literally does not exist until someone else observes it. It’s all performative, to use one of the left’s favorite words. Leftist grandstanders shape themselves to get approval, admiration, and lots of juicy, profitable pity from those around them.

In a phone call, Mike stepped on some landmine of manipulation or other. I think he slipped and called James “he,” but I’m not sure. Anyway, Buford flipped out and told Mike, who is an extremely self-sacrificing dad and supports him and his race-card-tossing wife at every turn, that he was being disrespectful. A long, unfruitful conversation ensued.

I don’t think Buford has treated Mike respectfully for a long time, but let’s ignore that.

I could not understand what was going on with Buford. Was he a sodomite? Was he straight? Was he just adopting a pronoun because all the cool kids had one?

Mike tried to clarify. Buford says other men are more masculine than he is, so I suppose that would be people like Mike Tyson and Phil Robertson. He sees himself as arty and not possessed of a highly masculine presence, but he is not collecting Ethel Merman LP’s or coaching wrestling for the wrong reasons. He is straight. Because there are men he feels are more masculine than he is, however, he has decided he needs a pronoun. Not a full set of retch-inducing custom pronouns. So far, it looks like it’s just “they.” Subtle, unprepossessing and tasteful, but it makes a quiet statement, and it goes with anything from skinny jeans to a little black dress.

So now you get pronouns for being gay, bisexual, and having other abhorrent sexual disorders, but you also get one simply for being a regular guy who doesn’t look like the WWE uses him to test new steroids. For being a beta.

The obvious question: if pronouns are for people who have been oppressed, what is a straight beta doing with one? Who is oppressing betas?

Okay, sure, being a beta may get your underpants pulled over your head a few times when you’re young, but no one calls you a pervert or sends you to a special camp for beta conversion therapy. Catholics never burned betas for being beta. Betas do all right. Nixon and Carter were betas. Obama is a beta. Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Bezos. Jay Leno. I love and respect Rand Paul, but he’s beta all the way.

Here is my take: Buford is a heterosexual, and he sees perverts all around him claiming pronouns, lecturing and hectoring normal people, getting their way when they’re wrong, and being given things they don’t deserve. He sees them getting admiration and attention. His own wife is partly black, so she gets to play the race card. He’s jealous, so he wants a card of his own to play.

He feels left out.

I think he is also controlled by demons that warp his perception and tell him being emotional is better than being rational.

He has said some pretty nutty things. Back when BLM was burning cities, he said he was terrified because his wife could be dragged out of a car at any minute and beaten to death by police. He didn’t mean this could happen at a rally. He didn’t mean the cops were angry because of all the BLM stuff that was happening. He was talking about day-to-day life, as it existed before, during, and after BLM’s racist, terrorist riots. She goes to the grocery to buy non-GMO gay-friendly tofu, she starts to drive home, and the cops give her a pit maneuver followed by the Reginald Denny treatment.

Reginald Denny was white, she is partly black, and Denny’s assailants were all black, but you get the idea.

Call it the Yankel Rosenbaum treatment if you prefer.

I don’t believe Mike is taking the right approach by discussing this stuff with him at length, patiently. Mike thinks that if he flat-out says all this stuff is insane, which it is, he will lose his relationship with his son. I can’t relate. I would tell him exactly what I thought. I think treating his zany claims as though they were worthy of respect is enablement, plain and simple. I think Buford needs to see how sane, rational people react to patent lunacy.

If my wife woke up tomorrow and started telling me she was a chicken, because some wokiee nutjob had opened her eyes with leftist theory, I would tell her she had a major screw loose.

After we heard Mike’s story, I asked my wife if she thought we should be sterilized.

I was not completely serious.

I told her she needed to know that liberal educators had made America’s young extremely stupid. For decades, they have taught them that every opinion is valid. As a result, they seriously believe it is wrong to take a firm position on anything.

Let me clarify. It’s wrong to take a firm position on anything, unless it’s a baseless leftist position. THOSE are factual, and people who disagree are not merely indisputably wrong, but dangerous. Their opinions are violence.

Figure that out. Every opinion has to be taken seriously, unless it conflicts with what far-left mental cases say.

If I tell everyone I know that I’m a petunia, they are required to agree with me, and those who refuse to lie will have their social and financial opportunities cut to the bone. If I say a woman can’t have a penis, I’m the one who gets banished. I’m the one who is committing violence.

May God rapture us this very afternoon. This is too much.
