On April 19, conservative publication The Federalist published an article titled “Second-Wave Feminists Pushed The Sexual Revolution To End America, And It’s Working.” The think piece by Carrie Gress, a Catholic, anti-abortion theologian, blames a group of 12 women, led by Kate Millett, for the rise of the trans movement and the general degradation of American culture. Phyllis Chesler says, “I must strongly protest most of what Carrie Gress has written.”

I’m sat here, wondering where and how did it all go so wrong, so fast? Children are being sterilised at an alarming rate globally. No one is safe from this Trans Juggernaut.

If my kids’ sexuality evolves into exclusive same-sex attraction, they’ll be hard pushed to find a word to describe themselves. 1* Is this because I homeschool them, in line with some fundamentalist religion that says homosexuality is a sin? Nope. Is it because I send them go to a conservative school where the words gay and lesbian are not mentioned for fear of giving kids unwholesome ideas? Nope.

When New Zealand’s full suite of gender ideology laws has been passed into law and becomes operative later this year and into next year*  these laws will  grant special rights to a special group of people.

Initially, I wanted to continue my navel-gazing blog about growing old. But then I saw a news item about the evil ways of priests in the catholic church that made my always simmering blood boil. So I decided this finally warrants a small rant.

Parents tend to go along with the prevailing customs of their time and place. The social pressure to conform is enormous, whether or not we experience it as social pressure, exactly. If parents don’t conform in certain ways, we’re considered outliers, weirdos, or worst of all, bad parents.
