Gender Colonialism

Part 5: Ideas in America, Strategy in Europe, Disaster in Asia

[In Part 4, we arrived at the 1980s having found that gender was acquisitioned to express the ideas of feminists. Herein we step away from the chronological narrative and jump into the present time but into a corner of the world greatly distant from the pot in which gender melted. Part 5 has developed from an essay entitled Alice in Genderland, published elsewhere in July 2024]

The journey of gender over the centuries, begun perhaps in the beginnings of speech, through the temporal undulations of geo-cultural pulsations from the great rivers in the cradle of Indo-Europe and then lately across the great pond, encountered turbulence in modernity which climaxed in multiple foamy crests late in the twentieth century. Gender herself became a victim of her times, coursing in the eddies created by the philosophies which permeated and perverted the spirit of the age.

The occidental outlook at the fin de siècle dissipated it of meaning in the new millennium, and it thereby became a tool its wielders would employ to tyrannnise and enslave - while obscured in robes of compassionate empathy.

Afore decent into the contemporary abode of gender amid the fumes of Foucault, Derrida and their fervent disciples, inhalation of a whiff emanating from the third world upon which their malodour has fallen will provide context on the power, venom, breadth, scale and means of application of gender in a world that is unhinged, its denizens uprooted and its institutions adrift.

A Journalistic Interlude

The wife of the former President[1] of Sri Lanka, Professor of English Maithree Wickremasinghe has a doctorate in Women’s Studies and has published extensively on the topic of gender. She made a keynote speech in mid-June 2024 on “sex-gender conflicts”[2], to an audience gathered for the semicentennial celebration of an organisation focused on emotional support and suicide prevention. Excerpts of this address were subsequently published online and in a printed national newspaper.

Quotations from the publicly published excerpts have been extracted verbatim and included herein, and these extracts will be analysed so that a response might be offered. The contents of the speech as found in these extracts are not at all original, but rather are components of the incessant narrative propagated in “gender studies” departments of universities around the world - and therefore the analysis may be received as an objective response to the general narrative, taking as an example the words reported from the speech, some parts of which have been italicisied for emphasis.

MW has been used to signify words attributed to the former First Lady in the publication referred to. RR is used to indicate the respectful response to the preceding referred quotations.

MW: “Historically, the word sex has been used to classify a person as a man or woman based on their external genitalia at birth. Thus, the male and female are perceived as binary and oppositional identities to one another, centred on differences in physical appearances and biology.”

RR: That the binary or twofold-ness of - and the complementarity of the male and female sexes is a reality of our species, is not merely a perceived impression or even merely an empirical observation. Rather, it is an absolutely fundamental reality. In fact, male and female is more fundamental than up and down[3].

While one can agree with the fact that it is historic that man exists as male and female - and that sex is the correct word to describe maleness and femaleness, one cannot presumptuously assert that what is historic is ipso facto false. Indeed yes, the male-female human sex binary is historic and biological - and it is true now as it was then.

Further while the shriek of the midwife may well have indicated recognition as to which class of sex the neonate is of, the external genital appearance is indicative and not constitutive – and sexuality cannot be reduced to one of its signifiers.

MW: “In other words, the way in which people feel about themselves and their gender, do not always match their biology. For instance, though born women, some people may feel internally that they are actually men trapped in women’s bodies and vice versa.”

RR: It is correct that some people feel this way – and they are deluded. Such conditions are psychological disorders when such feelings are persistent and intense. Indeed, the onset of body dysmorphia and sexual identity incongruence disorders – some variants and related conditions of it deceptively named as “gender dysphoria”, are being encouraged. Likewise, patients suffering from anorexia feel fat – but governments do not issue legal corpulency identity certificates for the emaciated.

MW: “The sex, or the biology, can no longer be taken for granted, as natural or static or even as irreversible, given that science has responded to alleviate the suffering of those with sex-gender incongruences with scientific innovations and interventions to physical bodies such as sex-reassignment, gender affirmation surgery and hormonal therapies.”

RR: This is not only an absurd and dangerous statement, but it is also logically inconsistent, and compoundedly so. The primary logical inconsistency is the assumption that the advancement of proficiency in the execution of chemical and surgical interventions into secondary sexual characteristics, justifies the presumption that the sex of a human being is oxymoronically unnatural - or fluid and changeable. Development of technology can only become manifest as applications operating upon the underlying nature of materials and beings. The crane that lifts a beam does not prove that the gravitational field has been reversed. Likewise, cutting the wings off a confused bird and attaching a tail, does not make it a rat.

Aside: alarm bells need to ring, nay shriek, when confronted with statements such as “science has responded”, “research shows” and “scientists say”. Science responded with the atom bomb for Nagasaki and Hiroshima, annihilating Japanese Christians, to scare the Russians[4]. Research papers are published in prestigious journals that are fundamentally flawed, frequently purposefully so - while authentic research findings are suppressed. The memorable Dr Fauci, the recent - but now fallen, face of science told the world that the mRNA+ injection will save lives.

One could agree that the brutal and mutilating surgeries, sterilising hormone treatments and puberty-blocking in adolescents, may well be referred to as “scientific innovations”, but they don’t and cannot make a man a woman. Cutting off breasts and suppressing ovulation or even fixing non-functional penis-like structures on to women - after harvesting tissue from her arm to produce it, do not “alleviate the suffering” but only enhances physical and mental suffering - and makes it lifelong. The offence is all the greater since the patients were psychologically unstable to begin with, or merely misguided adolescents.

What people suffering from mental disease need is to hear the truth and receive psychiatric therapy – not medical or social “affirmation”. This is not a novel proposition since physicians do not affirm PTSD patients by telling them that the voices are real, nor are scientific innovations employed to inject adipocytes into anorexics. Further, it is flagrant abuse of emotional vulnerability to propose such butchering and poisoning under the slogan of alleviation of suffering. Authentic compassion will help to heal, not maim for life[5].

The second degree of logical inconsistency is that the refutation of biology and the assertion of the primacy of feelings over chromosomes, cannot be reconciled with affirmatory interventions that albeit feebly and disastrously attempt to reconfigure the very biology that is being refuted – such as making breasts grow on boys after castrating them, and shaving off his laryngeal prominence.

MW: “In order to do so, we need to be open and ready to understand and to be conscious of the terms, vocabulary and definitions related to gender identities that are now being recognised and accepted globally as never before.”

RR: Semantic gymnastics can only help to make dishonesty appear respectable. People are being fooled by words that appear innocuous, but have egregious meanings and implications. Addressing a “gender-dysphoric” or body-dysmorphic man with a new term such "transwoman" does not solve the problem, that he is sick. Calling a man a woman - trans or otherwise, makes the caller a liar. Replacing sex with gender so that a myriad subjective “genders” can be substituted for the two objective sexes only enables confusion and confoundation between reality and fantasy. Acceptance of newfangled terms will serve to silence the honest who find that popularised – even enforced, language can no longer serve truth.

Moreover, global recognition and acceptance - were this to be achieved[6], cannot make a falsehood true, any more than vaginoplasty and the mechanical dilations required to prevent the wound from healing, can make a man anything other than what he already is. Likewise for the woman who identifies as a nullo, and for the tuna who believes he is a mermaid.

MW: “Gender-phobia or transphobia may manifest in actions such as violence, harassment, misrepresentation and exclusion. Needless to say, the official sanctioning of gender diversity requires social transitioning as well, including changes in pronouns, adaptation of new names, changes to dress and appearance. It also involves legal transitioning including official name changes, clear identity cards and birth certificates.”

RR: Distinctions are lost when conflation is employed. Harassment of or violence upon anyone are causes for concern. However, it does not follow that privileges need to be accorded to a particular category of persons, or that compassion needs to be misguided. One does not misrepresent a paedophile[7] as a “minor-attracted person”, and include the pervert wholeheartedly into the Boy Scouts. Likewise it would be wise to exclude the muscular “gender-confused” boy from the girls’ netball team, and from their showers.

It is huge step to move from concerns regarding physical violence and social exclusion, on to expect the State to sanction special rights for practitioners of deviant genital behaviour and to provide for the acceptance of the sick as healthy. It would follow that alcoholism, the orientation towards LSD consumption and kleptomania would also need to be sanctioned, together with special rights for the horse who will not plough because he identifies as the stable door. Furthermore legal recognition of a falsehood, does not turn a lie into the truth, or evil into virtue.

Moreover, the concern regarding “social transitioning” and “legal transitioning”[8] presume the acceptability of “the official sanctioning of gender diversity” – an assault on justice, morals and competency, and a subversion of truth whose fruits were found hanging on the presidency of Harvard.

On pronouns, the requirement outlined is for changes to the way citizens-become-subjects shall speak - and to make a criminal of a reasonable person who will refuse to refer to a man or woman who identifies as belonging to one of a legion of the continuously expanding plethora of genders as “per” or “co” or “xe” or “xyrz” as the case may be, at the time. Moreover, it confirms the tyranny of speech control and the criminalisation of the honest for using precise language.

The call to register a mischievous manipulator’s or psychologically disordered individual’s prevailing self-identification on their official birth certificate or identity card is a tragedy of cosmic proportions. This is not only a means of supplementing the acceptance, affirmation and medical abuse of the vulnerable. It officially plunges a nation into the fallacious rabbit hole of genderland – where fundamental realities are legally inverted and nature is unnatural - and whims of the personality disordered become privileged, and their surgical sterilisation will be financed by the taxpayer.

Even history is distorted and time falsified when the certificate of birth will declare that a woman born half a century ago, was indeed born a cat half a minute ago, and woe betide anyone who says she wasn’t, even if that one person is her biased and discriminating – even violent, mother. The world has been turned beyond up-side-down where the law deems a woman a man, and forces all subjects to surrender and accept, call and refer to a man as if he were a woman. When saying a woman is a woman becomes criminal and legally incorrect, then yes is no, and good is evil.

The temporally lagged ripples infusing into the ends of the earth, of esoteric ideas conceived and exotic practices gestated leagues away and lustra ago, are churning socio-cultural, legal and linguistic change that seeks to nullify truth, reality and conscience. A new psychocolonialism drives the descent of man. Nevertheless the colonialists - armed with international treaties and ambiguous statutes, helmed with demands for interest payments on unsustainable debts, riding on horned supranational organisations whose blue manes are pasted to their sticky hides, and accompanied by the howling hounds in the conceited fifth column, are as much vanquished as the collies they seek to debase.
