Quote from: K-Dog on Mar 16, 2024, 12:40 PMThe sexual confusion that seems to be a part of modern life Seattle experienced about forty years ago. Seattle has been a destination for sexual minorities for decades. Puppies in the burbs might not know what I am talking about. But Seattle would not be Seattle if it did not have Capital Hill.
Seattle's emergence from the closet came more that a decade after NYC, when the Stonewall riots in 1969 centered around the gay community in NYC's Greenwich Village kicked off the Gay Liberation movement, not long after Women's Liberation and the Civil Rights race riots of the 1960s.
However, it was not until the 2000s that you started to see gay couples featured in the media and pop culture, with TV shows having alongside a multi racial and multi ethnic cast, at least one happy gay couple raising a child in blissful harmony. Not to mention openly gay candidates for POTUS and comic book superheroes with Cocks of Steel who could ejaculate semen over tall buildings with a single spurt. lol.
Today, to even hint that there is something fundamentally wrong with transexual (trans) women competing against biologically born (cis) women in HS, NCAA and Olympic sports invites lawsuits and claims of discrimination so vehement the governing bodies of those sports are terrified to declare them ineligible, or at least create another division to make the competition more fair.
Yes, this is a distracion, particularly when it devolves to who uses which bathroom to excrete while shopping at Walmart, but the fundamental shift in the moral code isn't just a distraction, IMHO. There is something deeper going on here, which includes as well the decrease in sperm count and hormone levels in the population also. That you can attribute in part to chemicals in the environment, but perhaps also to population density, since similar effects are found in mice subject to overcrowding in behavior experiments by the kind of psychologists I became well acquainted with as a lab rat back in the day.
A distraction? Sure it is. But methinks there is more to it than that. JMHO.
