21st Century is the Age of Intellectual Dishonesty

People want to hear the lie. The lie that makes their existence validated and meaningful. Lies have gone from the social nicety to save someone from embarrassment to the social, political, and psychological corruption of the entire world. 

This essay is not about religion. That is another lie we tell ourselves. If we are good, do good, and then we can go to heaven. If we don't have a god or dogmatic tomes, then humans cannot be moral, ethical people. That is a conservative group think misstatement.

Liberals are no better. Virtue signaling has taken the place of prayerful piety. If you do not support this or that, then you cannot be socially accepted. If you will not allow certain ideologies to become political dogma, then you are a bigot!

What we have not asked ourselves is: are we being intellectually honest? 

The 21st Century has turned into a mudslinging free-for-all. We have 12 years to live as a species because of Climate Change! The President is a Russian Agent and 17 Intelligence Agencies agree! The only way to save our culture is to put GOD back in the classroom! The Polar Ice Caps are going to melt and we'll never see snow again if we don't get rid of cars! Anyone who doesn't believe in GOD is an evil devil worshiper! Osama bin Laden masterminded 9/11.

The list of dishonest remarks is endless.  

Right, left. Liberal, conservative. Aren't all of you being intellectually dishonest? 

The fervor is so intense that if you state a researched opinion you are open for disparaging commentary about your moral fiber and personage. For example, people with MAGA hats are assaulted wherever they go based on a Mainstream Media narrative. The person is never asked what s/he believes. The apparel causes instantaneous violence on the excuse the person is a "Nazi," "White Nationalist," or "White Supremacist," even if that person wearing said item is black. 

The social constructs of our society that determine moral fiber and ethical behavior are being lost for the instant gratification of an emotional outburst. A crumb to feed someone's ego. A profit made by pundits and political parties.

In America, if you disagree, then disagree that is your right. It is not your right to physically harm another person. It is not your right to defame someone's character because you disagree with their point of view. It is not your right to "dox" someone and make them a target. 

These scenarios have played out in American society, but that is not our inherent cultural norms and mores. So where are people getting the idea that having a temper tantrum is a legitimate form of discourse and debate? 

In high school our class had a debate session for history, no one threw a chair, yelled expletives, or cried needing a hug. So where is this intellectual dishonesty stemming from? Common Core? Colleges and University curriculum? Protest groups? Political parties?  Media bias?

No, this aberrant behavior was going on before President Trump took office. We had protesters during the Obama Administration lighting cars on fire and jumping up and down on other vehicles. We had groups of people stop traffic on freeways.

Do we lay the blame squarely on our educational system? Or do we confront the ideology head on? 

The laws in our Constitutional Republic are based on the rights and responsibilities of the individual against that of mob rule (democracy). The good of the one outweighs the good of the many. So our laws are not skewed toward the more socialistic arenas of our society, but are not also abusive toward others in reciprocation.

In addition, those laws are based on two distinct factors: the spirit and the letter of that law. So we could have a very stern law, but the circumstance for which it was written (spirit) lessens its intensity. Thus the spirit and letter of the law creates a liberal/conservative composition. Our laws are right and left brained simultaneously.  These sides are equal in measure. Equal in weight. Equal in application. 

Our liberal media wants to bias all context of law and etiquette toward only the emotional responses. Talk radio wants to prejudice their audience to only facts and figures. Both sides are right and both sides are wrong. Just like when someone omits information, data points, social parameters will always be incorrect.

It's called: intellectual dishonesty. 

The scientific theory of make a statement, test that statement, and come to a conclusion based on the outcomes is a good way to determine if a piece is being intellectually honest. As readers, the audience, and as voters, Americans have to weigh the pros and cons of every detail presented to them. 

But we have gatekeepers in media, technology platforms who skew data, bias algorithms, and omit details in order to further an agenda. That is intellectual dishonesty. 

How can we root out intellectually dishonest gatekeepers? We put our belief systems to the test because if we do not have all the facts, figures, and spirit of the discussion then are we not being intellectually dishonest with ourselves? If we are dishonest by choice or circumstance, then how do we ever hope to have an honest conversation about anything?

A few criticisms that has come this editor's way... let's test them. 

VDPG doesn't believe a woman can become a NavySeaL

• Test: If you are a woman making this accusation: drop everything, enlist in the military, and become a candidate for the NavySeals. The qualifications have to be met as you would if you were a man. There cannot be any changing of the strength requirements, ability and skills sets, mental acuity, or any kind of watering down of the regulations. 
• Outcome: Did you pass as a woman in equal mental and physical measure to your male counterpart? Yes or No?

VDPG is transphobic.

• Test: Has the VDPG ever stopped a Transgender person from being Transgender? 
• Outcome: No. 
• Test: Has the VDPG stopped a man wearing woman's clothing? 
• Outcome: No. Actually the VDPG has written about clothing history. Men used to wear the pumps, stockings, dresses, and attire women have come to emulate these many past centuries. If anyone knows about clothing history, then men wearing makeup and sequins is nothing new. It's really old. There is no news story here. 
• Test: Has the VDPG ever stopped a woman from wearing mens clothing? 
• Outcome. I am wearing mens clothing right now. 
• Test: Has the VDPG contested men in women's bathrooms with woman and underaged girls? 
• Outcome: Yes. A resounding YES! Men in skirts or suits have no business in the bathrooms or shower rooms of women and girls. We have sexually tailored bathrooms in our culture designed for the penis and the vagina. Since the males of the species are the sexual aggressors of the females it is not prudent or wise to invade the sexual privacy or security of the other. It is not warranted. That makes this issue a rape and molestation issue and about respecting women. 
• Test:  Does VDPG contest biological males competing against biological females in sports? 
• Outcome: Yes! Biological males are superior in size, speed, and strength to biological females. There would be no competition in sports, males would dominate over females that is why Title 9 exists to give equity and equality to women in all scholastic and sport arenas without fear or retribution.

VDPG is against immigration.

• Test: VDPG hates refugees. 
• Outcome: The editor's grandmother is a refugee from Belarus circa 1912-17. The Bolsheviks stole their family farm and ran them off their land and out of their home country for the cause of socialism and antisemitism. 
• Test: VDPG hates people of Spanish descent.
• Outcome: The editor is from Spanish descent as a descendant of Emperor Charlemagne through the Chisum and Gyrlyngton family lines.  
• Test: VDPG hates all forms of immigration.
• Outcome: Legal immigration that supports the American way of life is most welcome. Illegal immigration that brings in drug/human/sex trafficking is unwelcome.  

 VDPG is anti-vaccine.

• Test: Has the editor ever had a vaccine?
• Outcome: Yes. All necessary vaccines for a child born in 1972. 
• Test: Has the editor ever had a reaction to a vaccine? 
• Outcome: Yes. The editor had the DTap, Tetanus booster, around the age of 29 on the urging of her oral surgeon before getting her wisdom teeth extracted. Her small arm had a site reaction that ballooned up to the size of a half softball. She ran a fever for a week and had to be placed on an antibiotic. Recent testing reveals the DTap has glyphosate (Roundup) and the editor has been disabled with a collapsed immune system since 2007 (i.e., other factors and other vaccine reactions are also involved in the Editor's status at an Environmental Illness patient.)
• Test: Is the editor anti-vaccine?
• Outcome: The editor is against poisons and toxins in the medical supply. Vaccines have changed from ProImmunity to ProToxcity.  For over thirty years, vaccines have never been tested for efficacy or safety, so until the paradigm shifts back to safety all vaccines should be discontinued. 
• Test: Does the editor believe anti-vaxxers are the cause of the measles outbreaks? 
• Outcome. No. With the unmitigated flood of illegal immigration, the health, cleanliness, and nutrition of immigrants are not being tested or remedied before being set loose into our society, so unvaccinated children cannot be the cause of said outbreaks. They didn't have the disease to begin with so how could they spread it?

So are you intellectually honest? Put yourself to the test before accusing the Editor of the Villa de Paz Gazette of such atrocities. 

If you read every article and essay posited here on the Villa de Paz Gazette, readers will find that VDPG challenges the intellectual dishonesty in media, business, politics, culture, and entertainment. Americans have been emotionally blackmailed to believe over here, over there, up that way, and somewhere around the corner. VDPG breaks through the programming. 

There is a spirit and letter to the boundaries of our society. The individual in this Constitutional Republic is the minority. Yet with the rights of an individual, the individual also must uphold their responsibilities to the national discourse. Americans cannot spew emotions as facts, nor can we enumerate facts and figures as the sole means to resolve our differences. 

VDPG breaks convention and returns its readers back to a time where discourse was intellectually honest. 

Are you being intellectually honest? 

VDPG began by dispelling the lies of corrupt politicians, media, and developers. The Editor has never wavered. In the spirit of the old George Washington legend: VDPG cannot tell a lie. 

If you want lies, there are plenty of resources on the internet for you to quote and cite. 

The Villa de Paz Gazette is not one of them. 

We're not pretty. We're not popular, but our thesis statements with citations and quotations will stand the test of time.

Hillary Clinton, Twitter Attack a Disabled Editor

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Tech Monopolies / Hillary Clinton

________________________________

Earlier today, Hillary Clinton was on Twitter complaining that the current administration banned Transgendered individuals from serving our nation via the military. 

Yet Mrs. Clinton used Twitter's Terms of Service to attack a disabled person. She falsely accused this disabled editor of Hate Conduct/Speech for pointing out facts. 

Unless someone can enumerate the hate filled content in the below statement: 

So I lodged a complaint in my response to Twitter and will shortly see if there is a complaint I can file against this political retaliatory action through the FCC or other federal agency. My free speech was violated. I was respectful in my conveyance of the way Transgender people are abused by political figures like Hillary Clinton instead of receiving the mental health support that they so need.

 

Mrs. Clinton, this type of negative behavior is exactly why a good portion of the American electorate did not see you as worthy, professional, or capable of being President of the United States.

I would refrain from making such immature decisions in the future.

If you cannot conduct yourself in a manner befitting a public figure, then perhaps you should retired from public life altogether and let the adults handle our political, social, and economic challenges that face the United States of America.

You have displayed retaliatory behavior against a disabled woman and positioned yourself to harm people with mental disorders for political gain. 

That is shameful indeed. 

Twitter is no better enabling such conduct amongst a swath of celebrities and politicos at the cost of others free and protected speech. 

Isn't about time you all grew up?

POTUS 45 / Never Trumpers

Support VDPG

I did not like GW Bush. 911 stinks to high heaven. The PNAC document confirms my suspicions. War after war, and cronyism after cronyism, I voted in Barrack Obama, a Constitutional lawyer and scholar. What I received was GW Bush's third and fourth terms with a few virtue signaling laws thrown in for good measure. 

So, I, like tens of millions of Americans took a chance on Donald J. Trump. 

The choice was not because we are bad people, but because we want bad people out of office. People who go into public service without two nickels to rub together and come out billionaires. You know... bad people.

Those bad people have stirred up tensions, imploded nations, impoverished continents. All for the sake of ego and greed. We are tired of the bad people having power as unelected bureaucrats and clogging up the system like imperialist goon squads. 

Bad people who want to privatize public institutions to profit off them by first undercutting them, then mismanaging their budgets and  pensions, and of course pointing their fingers at the people who they have betrayed and call them incompetent (see education, food stamps, the post office). 

We the People have observed these trends for some time now. 

We have tried the two party duopolies in hopes a good person would step up and correct the problems the politicians, lobbyists, and their thinktank buddies created. No one surfaced since John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. But these unelected bureaucrats, as we have named them: The Deep State, Administrative State, and the Shadow Government, killed one and blackmailed the other after they shot him. 

The only reason President Trump is ahead of the game is because he hired his own security. 

And that should tell you all you need to know about our current state of affairs as a nation. 

I am a Liberal Democrat, but I believe in our founding documents- Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights- our Founding Fathers, and this Republic for which it stands. I believe in the power of the individual. The rights of individuals over mob rule. 

Democrats have gotten away from the values of our nation. Instead Democrats have sold out to the Progressive and Socialist ideologies. Individualism has turned into communitarianism. The hive mind of propaganda has taken hold to push rugged individualists into collectivism. 

One person throws their straw in the street; I get my straws taken away. One person's grocery bag gets taken away by the wind; I get my grocery bags banned. One person shoots up a nightclub; I get my right to bear arms reduced to a privilege. 

No, no, no, no... NO. 

What the fuck is wrong with you? 

Support VDPG

Your rights end where mine begin. My rights end where yours begin. That has been my motto. 

In short, my motto means that you are responsible for you and your own actions, but in no way does your rights ever stomp on somebody else's rights.  

I am for gay marriage. If you are over eighteen and you want to marry another consenting adult, why not? You can suffer the bonds of marriage like all the heterosexuals. That makes no difference to me...

...however, if a baker does not want to bake a gay couple a cake, that has not infringed on your rights to have a cake made. Why? First you can go to someone else. Second, if all else fails, cake mixes and from scratch ingredients are sold at the local grocer. You still have a right to a cake.

Another illustration, if you have a penis, then you are a man; if you have a vagina, then you are a woman. At no time, is a man a woman or a woman a man. A man does not have a period. I do. I am a woman. Women before me have fought for equality as well as equity in our society. So no man should be allowed in a public bathroom with women. We fought for sexual privacy. Just as no woman can ever be a Navy SEaL. It is physically impossible for a woman.

Get over yourselves already. 

The Progressives and Socialists have convinced the younger generations of Americans that their shit don't stink and these drones are stink bombing our Republic. Donald J. Trump is the market correction. If you do not like what We the People are doing then maybe Progressives and Socialists should not been so amoral with their agenda and immoral with our societal norms and mores. 

• What is immoral is treating children like science experiments and calling the trend: Transgender. No, it is called child abuse. So-called medical and psychological professionals should lose their licenses to practice.
• What is immoral is allowing hospitals to medically kidnap children. That is custodial interference and well, kidnapping. People need to start going to jail over this crap.
• What is immoral is having laws changed to favor corporate monopolies and governance. That has led to: Too Big To Fail; Big Ag; Big Pharma; Big Tech. All against American laws and values, which all need to be prosecuted and broken up. Laws should be rewritten to put We the People first ahead of profiteering. 
• What is immoral is opening our border, especially after 911, and depleting our system so greatly that a disabled person like myself has no services. Zero. Zippo. Zilch. My friends help me out. I have not received a food box in over five years. I do not qualify for jack... I am housebound, bed bound thanks to my employer's negligence. 
• Another immoral point of our corrupt collectivist system: no lawyer would take my case, even my EEOC right to sue for pro bono because I was out of a job after my employer made me too sick to work.

Democrats headed by the Progressives and Socialists have lost their collective minds. Instead of championing the plight of the working class, these numbskulls have decided illegal aliens, the United Nations, and neoconservative chickenhawk wars are some how a better platform than Americans, the United States, and the rights of individuals. 

No wonder the Democratic party is losing its membership because the party has lost its way. 

Our future is not Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, or Corey Booker. Frankly, people are tired of the blame-game, social justice warrior, progressive/socialist nonsense. 

Progressives and Socialists are not Democrats. They're players. Pozers. Lackies.The Democratic party needs to remove these distractions from the platform and realign with the American people. Or the party is lost forever.

I may have a voter registration card that says: Democrat, but I do not feel like one. I believe in privacy, free speech, and private property (of the mind, body, and land ownership). You know, Rights.

But I do not see the Democratic party owning up to and correcting party corruption. I do not see the Democratic party of, for, and by the People, but instead parading around like a Globalist propaganda machine and puppet. Things need to change with the Democratic party, as well as the media.

The liberal and conservative media should not exist. We should have the media. Independent of government, corporate, and political party agendas, or we do not have a free press at all. Can we have difference of opinion? Of course, but not as the mainstream media propagandizes the People as it does at the present.

That also means no praying, Bible recitation, or preaching while being a media outlet. That is not being an objective media source. That is being a church.

Media has to distinguish itself from the extremes of our society.

All I hear and read is about racism and White Nationalists... you know, crap. Democrat dog whistling... here, here, Social Justice Warrior. Fetch. Sit up. Riot when you don't get your way.

And if someone disagrees with you... well, they must be a racist or White Nationalist! 

So tired of it. 

I hear: but Trump is a racist because he hates immigrants. Those caravan individuals are not immigrants; those people are invaders. America has 30-40 million people who are either not legally in this country or are not American society members. People are not apart of our society if those individuals reject assimilation into our culture and/or refuse to speak English. 

This place is my country. I should not have to press 2 to get an English speaking operator. I should not have to read Spanish subtitles in the sales circulars, or see Spanish first over English on coupons.  

We need to dissociate ourselves with this Third World Globalist takeover. We need a wall. We need to set a healthy boundary with the rest of the world.

I can hear it now: walls are racist!

Do you own a home? Do you have a fence around your pool? Your backyard? Would you call the police if someone broke into your home or jumped your fence? How about stole your car? 

American society has boundaries. We have borders of towns and cities. We have fences around our yards.

The microcosm reflects the macrocosm. If you have a fence, or would protect your private property, then you believe in borders. You believe in self protection. 

I keep wondering when the media, opinion writers, and political parties will wake up before they destroy themselves completely? The only apologists are those puppets who try to sell me immoral agendas and the failed policies of Globalism. 

Support VDPG

Donald J. Trump did not set up the destruction of the world. The Globalists did. Donald J. Trump did not set up the Third World to fail. The Globalists did. Donald J. Trump did not set up America to fail. The Globalists did. 

A good portion of the American public woke up to the Globalist agenda. We do not have to agree with everything President Trump stands for. President Trump does not have to be a perfect man. He just has to navigate America back onto its original course heading. 

But until the Democratic party matures, half the nation will wallow in self pity and scream at the sky like idiots. 

Maybe the only apologists are people who write distasteful and disrespectful op-eds because they are too busy believing propaganda instead of being present with knowledge. Progressives and socialists have had their way for far too long. It is time real Democrats regained control of our party.

Then we could have real discourse in our country. 

Wouldn't discussions benefiting Americans be the change that implemented a natural course correction? I know I am tired of watching the Progressives and Socialists drive us into an iceberg. I did not sign up to be on the Titanic. 

I guess that is why I feel like I am in a party all by myself.

Mr. Olbermann and the Act of Treason

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

The Republic / Belief Systems 

____________________________________

No, Mr. Olbermann, that is Not Treason.

In the last forty to fifty years, treason against the United States has become a game of whodunit or who will catch us! The same players are always involved: Republicans and Democrats. So, when are we going to begin the arrests?

Treason is defined by the Constitution is Article 3, Section 3:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

We have plenty of witnesses and confessions on the behalf of the Neo Conservative / Liberal caste of our society who openly commit treason against the People.

The United States of America is a Republic. In a Republic, individual rights are assumed greater and more precious than a belief system, economic theory, or ideology.  Here is a summary of what a Republic is:  

Here’s how it works: in democratic or republican systems, there is a kind of majority rule. In democracies, the 51% rules over the 49% and has total control. The 51% can do whatever it wants, because in democracies there are not structures in place to protect individual rights.

If 51% vote to steal your bike, you are without a bike. If 51% vote to kill you, you are out of a life. It does not matter if it is right or not, what the majority says is what happens.

A republic is different though, and it operates for the protection of the individual against the majority when they get out of control. It is very important to protect the rights of the individual in a political system, for that is how governments are limited in their power and scope.

So let’s take Gender Ideology. Some will argue that individuals choosing whatever gender or façade s/he would like to present to the world is an individual right. Correct so far.

Then these gender ideologies are pushed into the public arena as politics to change how society functions. Men dressed as females as part of their gender identity therefore have the individual right to use women’s public restrooms. That would be false.

When your belief system is your own private Idaho, you are protected under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Once you take your privately held beliefs to change your persona and force that belief onto others, well, you have now infringed on other people’s individual rights. Women have the right to a safe, secure area in public for which to use the restroom without fear or challenge.

Just like public restrooms had to be changed for individuals in wheelchairs, that supported people’s individual rights for sexual privacy in restrooms in business, government, or other establishments.

Gender ideology does not secure sexual privacy; it eliminates it. Add to the fact that men are most likely to commit sexual crimes against women, and the individual right to force gender ideology onto an unsuspecting public all but dissolves.

You have the right to dress like a tart. Men have been dressing like tarts for thousands of years. Look at all the oil paintings of monarchs and learned men: tart, tart, tart.

But that does not give Transgender individuals the right to override other people’s individual rights. It’s called personal responsibility. We have somehow lost that individual philosophy while looking for instant gratification.

Another example would be the economic theory of Trickle Down Economics. What a scam. This “theory” proposed that if you give all the economic profit to the wealthy they would create jobs and buy, buy, buy! as their own economic stimulus.

Trickle Down Economics was another term for Highway Robbery. The wealthy as they do and continue to do is stash, stash, stash! they’re wealth. The money is therefore taken out of circulation and the economy worsens because there is no way to loosen the monetary purse strings.

The theory was aptly named because the very, very rich peed on the rest of America. This economic theory showed how and when you take the economic engine away from the individual that the economy dies. Everyone in a society has the individual right to compete and participate in the economy as an equal.

The bulk of the money in an economy should be concentrated in the lower half of the economic sphere. That means the 50% of the society making less should have a more fluid availability of money. This fluidity allows for motility and market volatility. The money made at the bottom will then filter through the rungs above them: Middle Class, Upper Middle Class, and into the affluent caste.

The rich will always receive the money at the end of the day, but Trickle Down Economics did not even allow for the bottom classes to even compete or participate in the market. The market was essentially closed off for the profiteering of a few.

That is against our individual rights. That is favoritism, corruption, and a monopoly. That is why Trickle Dawn Economics does not work: it’s against our Anti Trust philosophy.

So is the TIPP, TPP, NAFTA, and other economic packages that parse down economics into a corporate governance that rules over the servant classes, which is everyone else who is forced to spend their money on corporate agendas, fads, and products. A corporatocracy is nothing but living in a global corporate town where the profits go up and nothing comes back down: no competition, no motility, no individual rights are protected. Welcome to minimum wage living in coffin apartments where you can only ride the light rail and go nowhere else in life.

That would define monopolies, Too Big To Fail, Agenda 21, and other nonsense as direct threats against our founding principles and individual rights. Treason comes in all forms. Economics has been used as a weapon ever since the Central Banks took over our economy and money supply. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 is unconstitutional and dare we say; Treason. The People are supposed to be in control, not a foreign corporation.

For the last distinction between a personally held belief versus individual rights, we have belief systems. A belief system is a religious dogma, or practice. The First Amendment protects individuals from intrusion against the majority forcing them to stop their worship. If you worship a rock or an imaginary person/god/ghost/alien being, then the government and others cannot force you to stop believing and worshiping as you wish.

However… we have had a movement in this country since Goldwater, called the Right, Evangelism, and other conservative names, who believe that right is might. This use of religion in politics is a way to make the United States of America into a Christian theocracy.

Since not every Christian believes in the same tenets of the religion and still others in this country who are not Christian at all, we have a huge problem with religion taking over the government one seat at a time and forcing that belief system on the rest of America. That would be called: treason. A religion, a belief system, is overthrowing the values and freedoms of the Republic.

An individual has the right to worship as they see fit. A religion does not have the right to make laws in this country that interfere, abolish, or subsume other American’s individual rights. That would be the crux of religion being used as an act of treason because it is overthrowing individual rights for the rights of a group’s view of the world.  

So Mr. Olbermann, you wanted to know what treason is happening in our country? The above summation should give you a great head start.

The United States of America is a Republic being hit on all sides with acts that erode our Constitution and Bill of Rights with ideologies that do not protect, promote, or support individual rights against a majority view.

We are NOT a democracy. We are a Republic. Maybe it is about time we shrug off the immaturity of ideologies and beliefs for a bigger prize: freedoms and rights as promised by our Founding Fathers.

Anything else to subject individuals to a fad or fringe or belief against their rights is nothing more than a stark failure of the People to run their government as it was intended.

“Congress has no power to make any religious establishments.”

Sign the Boycott Target Pledge!

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Transgender / Equality 
__________________________________

Looks like the VDP Gazette is not the only ones upset about inclusivity over common sense equality. American Family Association began a petition over the transgender move:

Sign the Boycott Target Pledge!

While Americans are drawing boundaries for our society, we should also boycott states that force women to be exploited by these laws that policies like Target's emulate as well as any corporation that steps into the arena to force social justice stupidity. 

Equality is one thing, but the transgender issue is not about equality. Men and women have equal access to their biologically necessary restrooms. Social justice has become a way to radicalize certain groups for civil unrest and violence.

Well, we're not going to give that to you. Instead, we are going to boycott you every time you start a stupid campaign to boycott common sense social norms and mores.

In addition to the boycott petition, the organization offers a resolution to the transgender issue: 

One solution is a common-sense approach and a reasonable solution to the issue of transgendered customers: a unisex bathroom. Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex option should be provided.

We agree.

Men, no matter their feelings that day, should not be in the restrooms with women and girls. 

If Target really wants to help the transgender community, then the department store chain would pressure the American Psychiatric Association into reclassifying transgender so that these people can receive the mental health assistance they deserve.

Target Stands for Inclusivity and Sends Women's Equality Back Decades

Transgender / Equality

__________________________________

Has the department store, Target, sent women a message that they are no longer included? Women have fought centuries of discrimination from education, property rights to suffrage, now to face discrimination from the chain about public restroom usage. 

The VDP Gazette has already covered the basics in this new attack on Women's Rights in the article: LGBT Community Tramples Women's Rights for Transgender Outcomes.   

Target has not invited inclusivity, but exclusivity, because as a disabled woman I am being excluded from using a restroom at their stores. Men are given both restrooms freely to use against building codes, laws, and other formalities that make going to the restroom a safe, undeniable right for a woman.

Gender is not based on a feeling. Gender is based on chromosomes: XX and XY.  Now any man who feels like a stalker, serial killer, psychopath, sociopath, rapist, pedophile is allowed to use the women's bathrooms and changing rooms. Bravo! Target, you have invited lawsuit after lawsuit. 

Maybe Target just wants to go out of business. 

We have a problem in this country trying to insert inclusiveness over common sense equality. Men and women have equality in the public restroom arena. There is no discrimination. Each has their biologically created rooms to dispose of their waste.

Corporations like Target are stepping into social justice shoes that are not for them to wear. Women do not want men in their assigned bathrooms. Transgender men should use the men's restroom. 

The division of the sexes not only safeguards women, but men as well. Men cannot be held accountable for assaults on women if their gender is not in the others room to begin with. Same with transgender men. The crimes I foresee happening can all be avoided by corporations not implementing discriminatory policies against women. 

It is that simple. 

So until further notice, I do not see me buying from Target until my rights are restored, how about you?

LGBT Community Tramples Women's Rights for Transgender Outcomes

Transgender / Public Law 

_______________________________________

Women’s race for equality among the sexes took another blow as men in certain states across the nation are allowed indiscriminate access to women’s public restrooms and locker rooms. This division between the sexes is not only about safety from abuse, rape, and molestation; the division allows for sanitary conditions because women have menstrual cycles and become pregnant with children.

I guess facts are considered discrimination and bigotry as I have been called numerous untrue adjectives so that transgender men and women can claim a moral high ground that these individuals do not have.

I am liberal. I am not religious. I believe in equality. I also believe in common sense. To that end, I am persuaded if you have a good, coherent, logical, and factual argument.

I have not seen anything but overemotional people who sling mud and throw tantrums over the transgender public restroom issue.

It is time to put the boycotts away and for people to grow the hell up. We have a social contract exhibited as agreed upon boundaries in our society. Full grown men in women’s bathrooms or locker rooms is one of those prohibited forays unless there is an emergency or some other unforeseen circumstance.

If you are a man and feel like you are really a woman, then you need medical and mental help because there are only two sexes in the genus Homo sapiens sapiens. We have males. We have females.

On occasion there is a problem in the uterus and some children are born as hermaphrodites.

The Intersex Society of North America lists the diverse conditions connected to being born with medically determinable sexual and genetic issues as well as defining the difference between intersex individuals against that of transsexuals and transgenders.  

Transgender individuals base their gender on how they feel. That is not how gender is determined in the human species. XX and XY are how females and males are denoted. Feelings are psychological.

Every human is faced with challenges in their lives. Coping with gender identity issues is one of these areas. Unfortunately we have out of control social justice, psychological, medical, and pharmacological institutions in our nation that feed individuals with fantasies of becoming someone else, something else altogether.

We see these body dysmorphic delusions played out on the small scale with botox and breast implants. On a larger stage, men and women with psychological disturbances are not being treated for their emotional, cognitive, and nutritional issues, but instead are paraded around as a protected minority group called transgenders.

Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is ‘Mental Disorder;' Sex Change ‘Biologically Impossible’ and he would be correct.

“’Sex change’ is biologically impossible,” said McHugh. “People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.”

When you look into how transgender men and women are treated by the medical community is the real discrimination. Instead of correcting the imbalances, transgender individuals are convinced only gender reassignment surgery is the answer. How much money does a person waste with pharmaceuticals, surgery, doctor’s visits, psychologist and psychiatric appointments over a lifetime?

Follow the money and discover the truth.

On the legal front, transgender people are not being discriminated against when it comes to public restroom usage.  If transgender individuals were not allowed to use public restrooms at all, I would stand up and say that is discrimination.

With my chronic health condition, I am discriminated against because Environmental Illness is treated in a manner that is inconsistent with heavy pharmaceutical use and therefore the prevailing medical mindset is that Environmental Illness must be a mental condition, when it is not. So I am the first person to stand up when discrimination is evident.

Men wearing women’s clothes do not bother me. Look up costume history. That is the apparel men and women have worn since the advent of fashion. Men were the first to wear dresses, leggings, pumps, jewelry, and yes, even cosmetics. If you have a problem with the old attire being new again, well some men are just regressive that way.  

With laws like in North Carolina, even though I do not agree with everything outlined in the law, the public restroom issue is not about discrimination against people with a form of body dysmorphic disorder.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That fact is true in physics as well as public discourse when people have taken their social justice too far and trample other people’s rights.

What has happened is people want to protect the most vulnerable in society by reiterating our agreed upon social norms and mores. If you have a penis, you use the men’s restroom. If you have a vagina, you use the women’s restroom. Simple, right?

The LGBT community sees that declaration of such obvious information as blatant discrimination, but it is not.

In fact until a man has surgery to change him into a biologically accurate representation of a women, vagina and all, he should not be allowed to use the women’s restroom legally or otherwise.

Point of fact, rape and molestation victims have rights too. Women and girls who have been sexually abused may not want to have a man in such a small, enclosed, and unsecured room away from prying eyes. I know I don’t.

Another fact, men are slobs. I have been a custodian in an office with men’s and women’s restrooms as well as cleaned private homes. Men leave the seat up. Men urinate on the seat, down the sides of the toilet bowl, and on the floor.

As a woman who has a menstrual cycle, I do not want to be in a public restroom having to deal with the above unsanitary conditions. Do you? It is difficult enough to find public restrooms with a place to hang your purse. Think on that visualization.

Now I have had conversations with transgender men via social media and the excuse for invading my private space is that a transgender male has never raped a woman.

Really? How long has statistics been kept on this group and that particular situation? The fact is that transgender man’s argument is not an entirely truthful statement.

The prison system has transgender individuals incarcerated for crimes against society. The Federal Bureau of Prisons cites these statistics of male and female prisoners: Gender, (notice there are no statistics on transgender individuals so how would one find numbers on rapes?)

Tranequality's numbers say:

Nearly one in six transgender people (16%) (including 21% of transgender women) have been incarcerated at some point in their lives—far higher than the rate for the general population.

In reality, transgender individuals have an increased chance of breaking the law. Time will tell what transpires in the women’s restrooms and how women are respected in such a confined, intimate space.

Oh wait, it already has:

College Allows Transgender Man to Expose Himself to Young Girls:

“Little girls should not be exposed to naked men, period,” said David Hacker, senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom. A group of concerned parents contacted the legal firm for help.

In another report, Man Undressing in Women's Room Cites Transgender Rule. A Washington state man went in and out of a girl’s restroom twice, the second time while little girls were changing into their swimsuits for practice. The employees could do nothing to protect the children because of the intrusive and socially unjust law against women.

It’s not like all men are honorable examples of the other half of the species:

• California girl, 13, bravely fights off man who followed her from school, attacked her inside house: cops 
•  Man Beats 9-Year-Old Girl in Jacksonville Best Buy Bathroom: Police
• Girl, 7, Raped and Slain At a Casino in Nevada
• Female Shopper Chases Man Caught Masturbating in Walmart Ladies’ Room

These reports start from 1997 and the list continues without end online detailing how certain adult human males are sexual predators to the females of the species.

What do women possibly have to be concerned about? Maybe history, facts, and reality.

If the LGBT community respected other people’s rights, especially women’s rights to privacy and safety, then demanding rectification for an imagined injustice would not happen let alone be the reason for boycotts, name calling, or other ignorant outbursts.

Women have fought beside the gay and lesbian community in the LGBT’s pursuit of equal rights, marriage rights, and the right to adopt children. Instead of that community knowing healthy boundaries and the difference between right and wrong, women’s rights are being intruded upon instead by these same people who throw tantrums about their legal rights. Isn’t time for some people to show the rest of us the respect we deserve?

In 2012, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed transgender from the list of mental health issues plaguing humans. Sounds like this organization needs to be sued on behalf of transgender individuals who are now not receiving the mental health care they need and the rest of us for being terrorized by the political correctness that changed their precious diagnostic book.

Why would the APA do such an irresponsible act? Follow the money.

How much money will the doctors, lawyers, and court system make forcing others to accept a discounted mental health condition as a minority group with fake rights and demands? How about the politicians and non profit organizations. How much will each of those individuals receive in donations and funding?

To me, the transgender issue comes down to a few points: creating division among voters for political gain, ignoring a serious mental health issue to produce lifelong medical and pharmaceutical customers, inciting social unrest, and allowing the sexual deviants and predators of our society access to little girls.

All of which are becoming to the forefront of media fodder.

For a man, even a transgender, to push himself onto a woman be it sexually, physically, or legally, is rape. Emotional and mental rape occurs, but make no mistake: it is still rape.

So going back to the earlier transgender man’s argument that “no transgender man has ever raped a woman…” Well, you just did.

Let the hate comments begin…
