As a woman, who is Gen-Xer, I am tried of the bologna. Yes, I care about the the environment. Yet, I am tired of the climate crisis talk. It is about communities working together. It is not corporate ideas, about the little people being extremely restricted. It is not about communist ideas from NGOs. I am tired.
Lucky you! Such a nightmare! My fever dreams were snakes. I’d sit up, bolt right in bed, eyes wide open, screaming as I fought to keep their fangs from sinking in to my face. They moved with lightening speed! My hands, that is, as I would perceive Mother’s hands and arms as members of the den when she would reach out to shake me awake and catch them in mid air!
The fevers were awful. Considering the symptoms and who I am today, it’s fairly obvious to me that I was vax injured. God damn the evilsickfucktards, “Damn the kiddos! Full greed till dead!” seems to have been their motto for generations.
I too, as mother, was a Tom-boy. When asked what I would be when I grew up as I sat astride ‘Go-Go’, my trusty Wonder Horse steed (named thusly due to me yelling his name as I cantered the springs to full tension, causing the frame to scoot along the floor), in my black cowBOY boots, cowBOY hat, six-shooters at my side, “I’m going to be a cowBOY when I grow up!” was the answer without fail.
“You mean a cowgirl!” Daddy would coach, smiling his handsome smile, nodding his head ‘yes’, eyebrows raised high, high hopes.
“No, Daddy. I’m going to be a cowBoy!” and the argument would ensue. Daddy had already learned that I would take a blistered behind and still not back down from an impassioned stance. It was why when asked about my mother, I would answer “My mommy is the most beautiful white woman in the World!” Miss Frances, old enough to be my grandmother was the most beautiful black woman in the World. Daddy could not abide me saying the two of them were the two most beautiful women. Not when Frances was twice my mother’s age, three or four times her size and perhaps 50 shades darker! He’d tried spanking me into submission. When he could not bring himself to smack my behind again ‘for arguing with Daddy’, that had been our compromise. (For the record, getting back on the horse, he was stalwart. The logic of, “sitting on the horse is going to hurt worse, the more spankings you get”, chummed the answer to “Now, who are you afraid of, me or the horse?” of “THE HORSE, DADDY! I’M SCARED OF THE HORSE! BUT I DON’T WANT ANY MORE SPANKINGS!”
These days, I’d have been encouraged and suffered FGM (Female Genital Mutilation). Instead, I am blessed with the memory of my great-grandmother recounting the story of going to see Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show as a little girl and being astounded by the skills of one Miss Annie Oakley, that famous sharp-shooting cowGIRL of renown! A little logic and a decent role model have very good standing in the jury of a child’s mind. (It would have been such a shame to lob these off, they’re trophy winners, I’ll have you know!)
PS - I think I caught a nod in your stack of words? Back at ya!
Girls who were tom boys used to typically grow up to be completely normal women. Many a parent now would feel apprehensive if a daughter liked climbing trees. They'd wonder is she going to come home from school camp in a few years to announce she's just had a mastectomy.
And yet, some 50 years ago, it was my granddaddy who taught me to climb trees. Still today, I remember as if it were yesterday, ‘the rules’. Test each limb for your weight. Watch for ants and snakes. Don’t disturb the bird’s nest. Don’t reach out too far and drop the pears gently. Perhaps most important, get caught climbing the fig tree and I’d get a tanned hide!
It was super important to my entire family to allow children to be children. I thought they were all twistedly sick as they would often ‘pull our legs’ (which was not lying, mind you. When they told us bald faced lies, it was ‘funnin’ ie: I was just funnin ya, don’t be cross.) Now, I realize they were intentionally grooming our ability to engage our disbelief! God Bless their souls!
Today "pullings one's legs" is probably some sick game played on Epstein island by Bill Gates, Prince Andrew and all the others. In Swedish, the word for child is a **neuter** noun. Why can't we just let kids be kids, and innocent for a while? Why push the fasco-Marxist sexual politics on them, too.
Whew, I think I get you, Lisa! Because my life and consciousness and strangeness parallel yours in so many ways. I am old now, and I have had a beautiful life — partly because I learned how to pretend to be “normal” and funny. So I had plenty of friends (while secretly being always alone as you describe.) Bless you.
Here's my take on this trans thing. If I, as a man, really wanted to be a woman, or vice-versa - and this will sound a bit strange at first, but bear with me - I would just **get married** to a woman (or if a woman, marry a man). Just like has been done for milennia. (And just for the record, in fact I HAVE been married for a 1/3 of a century to a wonderful woman).
Here's the logic. Despite all the barbaric surgeries, despite all the hormones pumped in (interestingly, they use ADT drugs like Lupron to eliminate testosteron, which are HORRIBLE. My brother had do go on them for cancer, and the results of men taking this are that they commit suicide, have all kinds a massive physical and emotional issues, etc. Here's the side effects https://www.rxlist.com/lupron-side-effects-drug-center.htm; and for women taking testosterone - and yes, each sex has a BIT of the other "sides" hormones, e.g., women have some testosterone, etc.), you are suddenly given a surge of something that is utterly foreign to your system, and overpowering. Is this what is behind the trans shooting in Nashville at that Christian school? Probably. But in our formerly free society, they won't release her (yes HER) manifesto.
But, to get back to the point, let's say I wanted to a woman, like this utter nutcase "Rachel" Levine, or FatBoy, IL Gov. Pritzger's brother (the Pritzkers are HEAVILY pushing the trans agenda with their billions at Vanderbilt Univ). What I would do is simply MARRY a woman.
How would that help, one might ask?
Here's how. I would get to watch up close and in real time a real woman, with all the physical, emotional (yes, our brains are different; will they "fix" that next? Is Yuval Harari's next trans-human thing to go in and change the XY to XX chromosomes? The insane Tom Watson at Harvard said "The genetic code is 3.6 billion years old: It's time for a rewrite" so no doubt that is next! ) hormonal and yes, ontological differences. No cut and paste ersatz femininity, but the real, FULL thing. And even after 35 years with the same lovely woman, I still find it endlessly fascinating... and of course frustrating sometimes, too. If I did this idiot operation, I STILL would have XY chromosomes, which also feed in to who I am and what my experiences are. Sorry, but Bruce Jenner will never be a woman, never have all the thousand and one things that make up a woman, ever. Same thing with a wanna be woman wanted to be a man. Marry a man. Get to know him. Be part of his life; she could vicariously see what real manhood is, rather than some fake, drug addled artificial "maleness" that is no more real than vile Zuckerberg's meta world can substitute, say, for a day hike at Moraine Lake in the Canadian Rockies. Sorry, the idiot goggles are NOT a substitute for the real thing.
I utterly despite radical feminism*. In fact, it is they, along with their rhinestone communism (yes, the early Friedan, Steinem, Firestone, etc were all radical leftists; the much earlier ones like Susan B Anthony were totally different, and fighting for a good cause); but as a married man, I get to see up close and first hand what a REAL woman is, and despite the frictions, enjoy everything (well, almost everything) about what a real woman is. I also like being a man in relation to a woman. In Taoism (I am a Christian, but have read Lao Tzu in full), they call that the classic yin and yang we all know about.
* The radical feminists set the whole stage for today's mess. I am sorry they hated their daddy so much, but how about growing up and learning to forgive? They never did, and, e.g., Firestone was found dead alone in her apartment after ending up mentally ill. "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle" said Steinem. Mildly clever. Something a jr. high student might come up with. Millions of women listened to her, and are now alone in their old age. Steinem herself? Well, golly gee whiz, but she married. And the abortion holocaust they unleashed on America not only will be judged by God, but is already being judged, not the least of which is that we are being replaced with those who do not share American (or Canadian; I am a dual citizen) our values. All part of Soros' Open Society plan. But worst of all, all those ***fatherless boys*** these types had a hand in? These radical feminists now have to travel on feral NY subways to meet behind doors that have guards outside to protect them. Yes, **protect them from the VERY thing they, themselves, created.***
Well did Jaques Mallet du Pan write about the first idiot leftist revolution 200 years ago, where they even renamed the months! in “Considerations on the Nature of the Revolution in France, “A l’exemple de Saturne, la révolution dévore ses enfants” – Like Saturn, the revolution eats its children. (Mallet du Pan aptly refers to the Greek myth of a titan who ate his children upon birth to prevent them succeeding him.) Basically, the English would be "the revolution always eats its own young."
Or as another has said “Frankenstein’s monster always returns to burn the castle.”
Farley Mowat, the noted Canadian leftist and Greenpeace activist, and whose house my wife used to walk by regularly as a kid in Port Hope, ON., wrote in his book West Viking (written while we were still in the global cooling scare) that there were probably at least dwarf forests growing in Greenland when the Vikings arrived in 985 AD and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History reports “… Erik the Red discovered two areas of southwest Greenland which were suitable for farming, with grasslands and small stands of alder and birch.” You will note that it is too cold today for any type of forests to grow in Greenland, and there is zero ability to farm, unless modern technologies are utilized – and even then, crop selection is very minimal. Mowat also reported the Arctic pack ice was much less in that Viking discovery era than today. Dr. Fred Singer writes that when the Vikings first settled Greenland, they grew vegetables, and it was warm enough to allow the population to grow to 3,000 people and by 1100 AD the place was thriving enough that they had their own bishop and twelve churches. Nature reported in a 2010 article that clamshell studies also confirm Norse records. Meanwhile, the Archeological Survey of Canada has also noted around “A.D. 1000, a warmer climate resulted in the tree line advancing 100 kilometres north of its present position.” The results of this? Especially in northern Europe, “the period between 1150 and 1300 was truly a flowering period, for population reached unprecedented levels that were never to be seen again until the late 18thcentury in many countries; the English population experienced a staggering threefold increase in its population during the last century since the Domesday Survey in 1086”.
This climate optimum (also called a climate anomaly) coincided with a period of increased solar activity. Farming of various crops extended hundreds of kilometers farther north than it is possible today.
Yet, in the 1100s, Greenland cooled dramatically, briefly stabilized, and then dropped even further in the 1200s to the early 1400s. Sirocko (2010) places the earlier event at the beginning of the 1310’s, while a more commonly accepted time frame for the first cold phase is the coinciding solar minimum called Wolf minimum from 1280-1350. There were repeated cold snaps and advancing glaciers and sea ice from that time onward, but it was not until the early 1600’s that the most devastating effects of the Little Ice Age began to set in, which is the more commonly used date for its beginning. As Dale Mackenzie Brown writes “An ice core drilled from the island's (Greenland’s) massive icecap between 1992 and 1993 shows a decided cooling off in the Western Settlement during the mid-fourteenth century.” But the recent recovery in temperatures is only putting us back to the average temps from an earlier age!
Indeed, when I was visiting Iceland at Skaftafell Nat'l Park a few years ago, Icelandic historians know from extant deeds – and have put in the displays at the park - that somewhere around FORTY old Viking era farms are currently buried under the Vatnajokull glacier system (the largest in the world outside of Greenland and Antarctica, and on which I have personally stood). In other words, it was simply much warmer in the Icelandic settlement era than it is today. We are routinely informed of the melting of Greenland glaciers today at lower altitudes, but demonstrably there are at bare minimum low altitude glaciers in roughly the same geographic area that had seen more melting and more pronounced glacial recession one thousand years ago than we see today. Al Gore may want to visit Skaftafell National Park in Iceland on one of his many jet-setting, carbon burning trips to check the facts himself. More evidence: There are records of grape growing occurring in places in northern Europe back during this optimum where they can't grow today. Gregory McNamee, in the Weather Guide Calendar (Accord Publishing, 2002) noted that wine connoisseurs might have gone to England for fine vintages (can’t grow fine vintage grapes there today!), that heat loving trees like beeches carpeted Europe far into Scandinavia, and Viking ships crossed iceberg free oceans to ice free harbors in Iceland…”. Art Horn writes that “In the winter of 1249 it was so warm in England that people did not need winter clothes. They walked about in summer dress. It was so warm people thought the seasons had changed. There was no frost in England the entire winter. Can you imagine what NOAA would say if that happened next year? “
Even the lead global warmer at “AGW Central” East Anglia Univ., in the UK, fraud Phil Jones, before he was outed during the ClimateGate revelations, was forced to admit to the BBC that the MWP (Medieval Warm Period) was real.
Ah yes! The dear old Muskokas. Algonquin Park is better tho... assuming you can't get to Alberta or BC
The story goes that Leonid Brezhnev had his 100 yr old grandmother visit him in Moscow in the 1960s. He proudly took her around his offices as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. showing her his Italian marble private bathroom with solid gold sink handles and the like, showed her his multiple well appointed dachas, all outfitted with the latest in Parisian fashion, the 10 Zil limousines he had waiting for him at all times; showed her the giant mahongany desk with solid gold handles, the chandeliers which incorporated real diamonds, and proudly boasted about the 20 attendants he had at his beck and call for every and any whim.
Finally, the end of the day came, and he dismissed his servants.
His ancient granny, born before the Bolshevik Revolution, frantically and furtively looked around to make sure absolutely NO ONE was around. She then, very, very carefully, sidled up to Leonid and, in sotto voce, whispers so no one else could hear:
"This is all very well Leonid. But... WHAT IF THE COMMUNISTS COME????"

Exact same story today with Gov. "Hairdo" Newsome and his maskless soirees at the French Laundry restaurant (as Leona Helmsley might have said back in the day "masks are for the little people) Nancy Pelosi, the Obamas on their zillion dollar property on all white Martha's Vineyard at 79 Turkeyland Dr., Edgartown, MA (which whatsmyelevation.com shows is 3 FEET above, sea level), or a thousand and one other assorted Hollywood Learjet leftists. Or think the leaders of Venezuela, how Mugabe lived in bankrupt Zimbabwe, or how Forbes had Fidel Castro as one of the richest men in the world when he died? No? How about former South African caudillo Pres. Jacob Zuma and his 747, which South Africa’s City Press described the request in a report had “A private bedroom suite, a bathroom and a conference room for eight people on board….which could cost as much as R4 billion.” Later it appears Zuma settled to rent a plane for 2 mm R/$140,000 month). Or think fraud global warmer and uber-leftists like Leonardo DiCaprio’s yacht below, John Travolta’s FIVE private airplanes + his own personal airport, or Babs Streisand’s 8-bedroom, 11-bathroom, 10,485-square-foot estate, surrounded by water on three sides of the property, including the Pacific Ocean – see Architectural Digest herehttps://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/barbra-streisand-malibu-house for inside… also listed her NYC home for $11.25mm, with a wine cellar, private elevator, and much more.
