The lunatics have been in charge of the asylum for a long time.

I recommend signing up for a welding class at your local community college. Doing good old-fashioned blue collar work with my hands is helping me.

Sometimes I regret my accounting degree and wished I picked a job involving my hands.

It's never too late to pick up new skills, whether you use them to make money or just make things.

Thanks. At least with accounting I can learn how to set up a small business.

I’m a construction trade apprentice and it’s wonderfully sane for the most part.

I feel you, I’m repeating myself here, but I’m taking a break from my religious community because of attitudes like this. The vocal community is very emotionally exhausting to be around and will ruin your reputation if you say the wrong thing. A lot of this insanity is on TQ stuff but COVID has given them yet another thing to be sanctimonious about. I’ve largely been engaging more with saner communities so I don’t lose it.

Dude. Same. Our synagogue just got a new rabbi and suddenly everything is about trans rights and BLM. Like, I just wanted to talk about the Torah. I’ve been ducking out of services lately too because it’s so frustrating and exhausting.

Though I never officially joined, I used to attend a Unitarian Universalist church that was in the process of finding its new "faith" in contemporary social justice. A key moment for me was when I witnessed a teenaged white girl, speaking to a group of other white people, burst into tears over her white privilege. It was one of the most ghastly displays of self-indulgent piety I've ever seen. The people who came into positions of leadership during this shift are so toxic (constantly fighting with everyone) that they can't keep a minister anymore. No one wants to stay more than 1-2 years. So I quietly stopped going.

Stuff like that has made me think that the people who were bursting into tears and speaking in tongues in church only to commit adultery and slander everyone fifty years ago are now just social justice warriors. I don’t think the personality type is new, more that it’s in an environment that completely fails to control it or impose limits to people’s actions.

That whole church has become what I'd call an example of collective narcissism. They are so convinced that they are on the right side of every issue that they can't see what a horrible unintentional self-parody they've become.

This is why Christianity is declining while Islam is expanding, even though is stricter against homosexuality.

I’ve known a lot of folks involved with the UU and ancillary groups like CUUPS and my rude opinion is that it’s just a bunch of rich white liberals circlejerking over how woke they are. I mostly saw people go for a bit after leaving Christianity but lose interest once they formulated their beliefs.

[–]fuck_reddit 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

This happened to my parents church. They used to go all the time, but the pastor got so woke that they couldn’t keep going. I don’t understand why churches keep going woke the more they lose membership... when will it finally hit them that that isn’t what draws people in...

Same with the Catholic Church. Still against gay marriage, yet somehow priests in Ireland are acknowledging that non-binary people exist?

[–]julesburm1891 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

Ah, yes. I recall that part in Genesis where Gd made Adam a man, Eve a woman, and Grey the non-binary person who saw the transphobic structures of Eden.

Idk about Ireland but in America there are bishops and priests standing up to it. Even though the cardinal archbishop of the city I'm in is a PoS (for a multitude of reasons) and has flat out said politics supersedes dogma, I went to Latin Mass with a friend and the priest explicitly rejected all the political angling of the Church in the sermon.

Good there are some good Catholic priests in America. In Ireland, we only have one, and he opened up his church for Easter Sunday mass. He was the only one to do it. It seems like Irish priests never cared about the people or God, because before they used to beat school children black and blue, kidnap children from their widowed fathers and molest children. Now they’re all woke.

[–]SkepticalHPSSuper Straight 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I can’t speak to Ireland but here in the US there’s a growing number of traditionalist/Latin rite churches that are rejecting a lot of the woke politics that have been coming out of the Vatican. And it’s overwhelmingly younger families attending. If you told teenage Catholic me that there was gonna be a resurgence in young women veiling in church I would’ve laughed at you.

That’s good to see. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t agree with the Church's stance on same sex unions, contraception and divorce (although I would like to see the divorce rate go down). But I can get married or civilly partnered in a registry office, I don’t need to do it at a church.

[–]SkepticalHPSSuper Straight 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yup that’s my thoughts exactly on hearing about this.

[–]julesburm1891 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I think there’s some idea that if they aren’t woke, they’ll be akin to the actively hateful Southern pastors during the 60s. I’ve actually heard Christians make comparisons to that in real life. For whatever reason, Jews seem to make comparisons to the Civil Rights movement. No one is asking how any of this is like the actual Civil Rights movements.

Yes, I think a lot of pastors have some generational guilt associated with that.

It's also likely that a lot of pastors are aware that most churches are still fairly segregated along racial/ethnic/class lines -- more so than many other social institutions. The Unitarian church I referenced in another post was desperate to be be woke, but, at the same time, if the music got just a little too loud, the white church ladies would immediately raise a huge stink about it. They would probably die of shock if they attended a black church service and heard how loud the music is. (I have friends who work in installing sound systems, so I know how different they are.)

u/JulienMayfair pointed out generational guilt, which I would understand in the South, but this is the North. My denomination was one of the ones that split along North and South lines antebellum, with the northern faction being staunchly abolitionist. There shouldn't be any guilt in my city considering one of the churches produced the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin which probably caused the war.

The rabbi is unaware of Deuteronomy 22:5.

How does one become a rabbi without knowing the texts?

Eesh, sounds a bit similar. I’m Pagan so our groups are autonomous and not under any centralized regulation but you get some real dumb takes like “if you don’t allow political discussion in your group it allows neonazis to hide.” Like you I just want to find likeminded people in my tradition to practice with without being required to buy into a million DNC talking points.

[–]julesburm1891 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Which sounds incredibly dumb, because my impression of actual nazi pagans is that they aren’t trying at all to hide.

That’s what I’ve seen too. They’re nowhere near as prevalent as all the bedwetters think but the ones that do exist are pretty out and proud about it.

You aren't alone but there is a solution available.

Get away from social media and go outside.

[–]lovelyspearmintLesbeing a lesbian 28 insightful - 1 fun28 insightful - 0 fun29 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Depending on where you live, you're likely to encounter these people outside as well, except you can't turn them off. For example, I went to a female bathroom a few days ago, only to see a man in an illfitting blouse and skirt waltz on in, stop, look over the women washing their hands with a smile on his face, as if he can't believe that he's able to do this, before going to the cubicles. That's definitely not creepy and something I won't encounter in the outside world, right?

Not to mention there's transwomen who come to my work that I have to interact with. One older AGP got way too close to me, then when I told them that we need to social distance, he put his hand on my arm and said in a falsetto 'sorry, sweetie, I didn't notice'. He knows exactly what he was doing and was trying to see how far he could go.

So no, going outside isn't any better if you live in a progressive city. I'd love to live wherever you are.

Edit: Getting too close is something that I've seen middle-aged to elderly men do in general (more so when I was younger, but it's happening again now that I've lost a lot of weight), so I wasn't surprised by the AGP's behaviour in the slightest, just made extremely uncomfortable.

[–]our_team_is_winning 12 insightful - 2 fun12 insightful - 1 fun13 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I will shout "there's a man in here, ladies!" really loudly. Damn these AGP creeps perving on us and the law being on THEIR side.

Laws to protect sexual fetish -- women's rights needs to start back at almost zero. At least we can still own property.

your comment seems a bit flippant. what i had to do was mute or remove people off my instagram that were behaving as OP described. THAT really helped. “go outside” isn’t a great solution when, say you live in a hyper progressive west coast city and going outside means having to engage with these same concepts and behavior.

[–]JulienMayfair[S] 20 insightful - 1 fun20 insightful - 0 fun21 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I actually think it's good advice. I've had to unfollow a bunch of people on FB, including, sadly, one of my best friends from high school. She posts ~5-6 scold memes every single day, to the point where I was thinking, "Do you really think all your friends are so dumb and/or ethically unevolved that we need to be preached at by you every single day?"

The inner tyrant has come out in full force with the Woke the past couple years. Who knew so many of our acquaintances, and friends and family sadly, couldn't wait to go full Maoist Cultural Revolution?

Maybe send them a one-line "you're in a cult" and a cult recovery help resource links before cutting the off.

At this point, I think that cities are a failed experiment. I used to want to live in a city, but now I would rather live in a small village where I know all of the locals and the community is strong.

That's no solution for me, transgender ideology is extremely popular where I live. I am unlikely to encounter AGP insanity in real life, but the rest? It IS outside, lol. That's the problem.

I’m just glad I live in a town of about 20,000 people and don’t know most of the people there. That way I can go for a walk and get peace. People living in woke cities are fucked however.

[–]lovelyspearmintLesbeing a lesbian 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I'm about the same, although it's the sort of place where if you're going down a side street, people still say hi even if they don't know each other. A perfect mix of small enough for those things and big enough that you barely know anyone there.

I studied in a city of about 80,000 people. I loved it there, but I prefer the town I live in because 20,000 is much more manageable. The only two advantages to living in the city are jobs and dating options. Maybe I will live in a city for a few years for career development and to get a man, but as soon as those two things have been achieved, I’m moving out to the country.

In fact, why don’t gays, lesbians and bisexuals just do away with cities altogether? Why don’t we build villages out in the middle of nowhere? Why don’t we set up gay bars and lesbian bars in small towns?

Indeed. I definitely had that hit hard whilst working from home, but it has eased up significantly in the past few months as my social media usage has decreased. I would suggest trying to stay away from all the crazy, including this sub, as best you can for a while. The great thing about reality is that it does exist and doesn't bend to TQ+ whinging - so it's best to just go out there and live it rather than debating with anime catgirl profiles on whether it exists or not.

Yeah, it's really sad but because of this I just sort of don't even feel like talking to my friends anymore. They're women I've known since 6th grade and even kindergarten but I just feel uncomfortable now. Like I've had differences of opinion with them before that I've kept to myself since they're all extremely liberal + kinky and I'm not, but hearing them all railing against JK Rowling and calling her a "TERF" really made something in me snap mentally.

I feel increasingly like I'm living inside an insane asylum where every patient's psychosis must be taken seriously and I must constantly suspend my own sense of reality to accommodate them. It feels exhausting and demoralizing.

I've had to step aside from modding and being a part of this sub completely due to personal life stuff.

And what you described is exactly what I've been going through personally.

It's not even LGB-related, it's just insanity and having to deal with other people instead of being able to live my own life.

[–]yousaythosethingsFind and Replace "gatekeeping" with "having boundaries" 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Absolutely. It’s been hitting me hard lately because it’s all over work, both in the nature of the work my colleagues and I do and through emails to the firm and to me for “diversity and inclusion” purposes because I’m gay. The latter are constant indoctrination emails and it is a-fucking-stounding how easily and boldly these LGBTQ+ lobbying orgs lie about themselves, their history, and what they do now.

Like one we really need to shine more of a spotlight on is the National Center for Lesbian Rights billing itself as the first LGBTQ legal org in the U.S. founded by women (it absolutely isn’t by decades) and how it is currently the only one focused on lesbian rights/issues. In reality they don’t even pretend to focus on lesbian issues other than through this one email. They don’t even use the word “lesbian” outside of their name. Their leader doesn’t even call herself a lesbian (and I have had the misfortune of being subjected to this daft woman’s hot air more times than I’d like) and they don’t focus on a single lesbian issue. This is all immediately apparent to ANYONE who spends 5 minutes on their website.

Amazing how the Diversity and Inclusion efforts exclude homosexuality. I am trying to choose my battles in what I bring up to those who pay my bills but that had me damn near close.

[–]JulienMayfair[S] 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

It's a result of the fact that LGBTQ+ lobbying is now an entire industry run by people for whom it's their entire career. When I first got involved, it was grassroots, and I knew people who wrote large checks to the local Gay & Lesbian Center just to keep the lights on. For the most part, we weren't professional activists. Nowadays, they rake in regular corporate contributions (either given or extorted), so they need to keep shit stirred up, if only to look busy. When I was in college in the 1980s, when things were actually pretty bad, we had no campus resources. Now they have a huge, fancy office with full-time staff, and most of their programs are aimed at TQ+ because the LGB are too boring.

Do they care about LGB people in Chechnya? Nope.

[–]yousaythosethingsFind and Replace "gatekeeping" with "having boundaries" 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Absolutely. TQ in particular is made up of professional, full-time activists and as such they are full-time victims (e.g., Munro Bergdorf, Jeffrey Marsh). And while the gay and bisexual LGBTQ+ activists are similar, most famous LGB people are not famous because they are activists. They’re famous for their actual careers. For TQ+, whining is their job. They make money from complaining (the real “Karens” lol). That’s why coming out as TQ+ is a career and business move but coming out as an actual homosexual isn’t. Of course the exceptions on the TQ end are generally white heterosexual MtF who transitioned late in their careers or in their retirement after having the full benefit of being white heterosexual males (e.g, Caitlyn Jenner, Dr. Rachel Levine, Martine Rothblatt, Lt. Col. Jennifer Pritzker).

And yep, no words on Chechnya from the lobbying groups. No words on Iran. On any Islamic homophobia in general. They refuse to recognize actual homophobia unless they can lump it under “queerphobia” or “anti-LGBTQ.” Because it would get in the way of them pretending actual homosexuals are privileged and lower on the oppression totem pole than trans and queer.

Meanwhile people like Harry Styles are getting celebrated as an “LGBTQ icon” for coming out, at best, as “not straight” yet continually dating nothing but woman after woman. He doesn’t have to date a man if he doesn’t want to, but then how exactly is he worthy of being an LGBTQ icon.

There’s not even photos of him with a same sex partner like there are with the closeted/semi-closeted celebs. Not to mention he’s basically a professional beard paid to help keep lesbian celebrities publicly closeted. So again, we are celebrating the de-gaying of LGBTQ. Let’s celebrate people for being “not straight” and for maintaining the comfortable public-approved appearance of heterosexuality. See also Halsey.

[–]JulienMayfair[S] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Look at genderqueer personality Jacob Tobia who has turned being TQ+ into a lucrative career, which probably wouldn't have worked out had he just been a standard-issue white gay male. Yet, he constantly complains about what a hard row he has to hoe and why most men don't want to date him, even as he parlays his identity into book deals and screenwriting jobs. How oppressed are you when you attended an expensive private university and landed a six-figure book deal to write about yourself?

I'm waiting for Tobia to get older because his look is not going to age well.

I’m experiencing it as well. And it’s not just the trans thing. This whole COVID thing: the lockdowns, the possibility of vaccine passports, the fact you can’t go to funerals of loved ones, and people are okay with it. At this point, we might as well live in China.

I don't know anyone irl nor online (besides Redditors) who talks about this shit. I have one solid lesbian friend irl who's 40+ and doesn't pay attention to anything "queer"-related because this doesn't affect her personal life where we live. She's more involved with the "ACAB" shit.

YEP. You are correct. I can say for myself that I am feeling this way as well... I've been taking a bit of a break from it all recently. It's frustrating to see how commonly people believe the bigoted and often pseudoscientific claims and talking points espoused by the transgender movement.

I know what you mean. To be fair I just made sure to limit my exposure to this insanity to the minimum with any possible tools, which would block any of this insanity coming to my timeline on social media (especially Twitter, it's insane I never joined so called queer communities but without abusing mute word tool I'd be constantly flooded with this crap even if I didn't follow people for that reason in the first place). After doing such steps I can at least pretend everything is relatively normal for a while when I just wanna rest and just see some memes or some cool art unrelated to any of the woke shit.

You did ask in the title though lol.

But really I agree with everything you said. It's so weird to me to see people who will share 'ways to identify gaslighting' posts or 'how to know you're in a cult' posts but don't realize that transgenderism is a cult or the gaslighting techniques TRAs employ.

Just the other day I was on instagram and I scrolled past Jim Mathers, the guy behind Foamy the Squirrel. The post was a drawing of one of his new characters which he referred to using they/them pronouns. The character was obviously female too, not even androgynous enough to warrant confusion. I'm sitting there like. This is the guy who made tons of videos years ago where Foamy would rant about how stupid people can be in varying capacities. He called out the type of 'look at me' behaviors nonbinaries exhibit, yet here he is unironically supporting an ideology that essentially says 'I deserve special treatment because I don't like gender roles'. Old Foamy would've said something like 'who fucking cares if you hate gender roles? wear what you want then, but don't expect a cookie for it'. But here's Jim caving to the wokies. It's really sad to see people sell out like that.

It really does feel like the world has gone crazy.

[–]strawberrysun 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, very much so.

I've also started to grow tired of the "woke" city where I live because I keep meeting people who unironically believe it all. Logging off only gives me a break from the absolute most insane stuff.

You’re definitely not alone. It’s good to take a step back from the internet from time to time because the insanity of the trans movement is so extreme online and they infiltrate every space they can. All the performance activism is so ridiculous, it’s like people try to out do one another in proving how “progressive” they are or how badly they can shame and bully anyone who doesn’t worship at the alter of gender identity.

I think it’s also good to remind ourselves that these lunatics and their pugnacious tactics are peaking people every day, and the more they behave like this, the more people will come to realize this garbage for what it is.
