“Jalapenos are trans”
So, that’s two words you don’t understand?
“Society INSISTS endlessly that the word “jalapeno” is pronounced “hall-uh-peen-yo”,”
Is it ‘society,’ or the fact that the word comes from another language?
“even though all spelling rules and conventions”
Spelling is not pronunciation, doofus. Grammar might be closer to what you’re TRYING to say. But still wrong.
“would say that it SHOULD be pronounced “juh-lop-en-oh”.”
Okay, all pronunciation rules and conventions FROM SPANISH say it’s “hall-uh-peen-yo”. And it’s a Spanish word.
“In much the same way, society insists that, not only can my estranged son become a woman, but that he ALREADY IS.”
Well, not all of ‘society,’ just those parts that give credence to almost 100 years of scientific research in the matter. You know, everything you ignore after 5th grade ‘boys have weewees and girls have vajayjays.’
“This despite CENTURIES of tradition and language demonstrating the opposite - that he is a MAN and MALE and will always be A MAN and was once a BOY.”
And once again, you’re discounting CENTURIES of tradition in languages that accept twin souled people, or the Goddess Inanna, or Loretta. You only allow your prejudices to even exist.
“Just the same, “jalapeno” is pronounced “juh-lop-en-oh” when speaking proper english.”
Proper English capitalizes English, moron.
And, no, mispronouncing a borrowed word is NOT proper English, it’s self-centered ignorance.
“However, just like everyone in society, even his own sister, now refers to my son as my daughter (when he is NOT!!).”
Well, HE is NOT! You’re right.
However, She IS!
“Even when at Wal-Mart when buying their Great Value brand of jalapenos (which do genuinely live up to their name of providing excellent flavor for a low cost, truly a great value),”
I really could wish you didn’t pepper the conversation with your one and only incorrect example.
“ the woke cashiers still fearfully mispronounce it as “hall-uh-peen-yo”, despite speaking English, and not Spanish.”
You remind me of the idiot whose main complaint about Harry Potter was how everyone pronounced ‘Hermione’ differently.
“This, just like “trans” is a collective societal delusion.”
Kinda smug for someone who is so very, very, very wrong, and is going to die alone.
“It must end. Trans must end. I want my son back.”
And your experience with reality and/or society is that your wishes are granted?
“I want my son back from transgenderism.”
Your daughter will never, ever, not be trans.
MAYBE you can help make it so that she has to hide it, but she’ll never be your son.
“I want my son back from cross-sex hormones.”
Because your expectations are more important, by far, than her happiness.
“I want my son back from his woke university that groomed him to be trans.”
You didn’t know what she was going through until she had the words to express it. So you blame the people who gave her the words.
Brilliant. That’ll fixt things.
“I want my son back from anarchism.”
Anarchy would not support transgendered treatments in the style Dr. Benjamin has established.
“ I want my son back.”
Fuck you.
“I miss my son.”
That’s a choice you’re making.
“ I have not had one good day since he blocked me, and now even things that I used to love make me sad and angry. Can’t he see what he is doing to me?!”
Me. Me, me, me, me, me, me… Get over your bitchy self.
If any of my kids blocked me, I’d wonder what __I__ did wrong, not them.
“Look at me. I was once a loving father.”
Facts argue against that. You were once content. Now your self-image is challenged. No one cares.
“Now I am reduced to philosophizing about peppers.”
You’re not philosophizing. Philosophy is the cerebral component of any human endeavor. You know, ‘thinking.’ You just think everyone else should live by your expectations and you’re upset about it not working that way.
“The trans cult took my son, and the best I can hope for is that one day he will return to me.”
Hope in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up faster?
“But I don’t know when. I don’t know if I can make it until then. But I will try. I will be here for my son, even if I need to cope by considering the philosophical implications of jalapenos.”
You’re still not even dealing with the philosophy. Just your prejudices.
Says a lot, really.
“I hope that this story can help other abandoned parents like me”
You weren’t abandoned. That has connotations that you were kicked out of the car on a deserted highway.
This is more that your daughter has taken steps in self-defense.
“consider trans from another angle, and perhaps, for a while, give us an intellectual distraction from our estranged children.”
I cannot IMAGINE an intellectual distraction from not being welcomed by my children. of course, I also can’t imagine blaming THEM for my bigotry…
“I, for one, am praying for ALL of our so-called “trans identifying” children to come back home, to come back to their loving parents.”
You’re a hateful, selfish, demanding weight on your kids’ lives. There are SO MANY OF YOU that the cutting-out of toxic parents is part and parcel of the transition treatment. That’s impressive.
Scary, but impressive.
