On Friday evening, Oct. 17th, Mia Hughes, a woman who came from the progressive left, (more as a current default than as a choice one might guess), gave a talk on the staggering harm the trans-narrative was doing to children.
This is a well presented and detailed description of the components of the issue.
While we tend to see it more from the Marxist Line of Operation angle than as a social phenomenon than she does, there is nothing incorrect or wrong with the presentation at all. In fact it may be the exact way to go to send to associates who are uncertain about the issue but aren’t ready to be thrown into the deep end of the pool on dialectics.
Below, her presentation and the Q&A, which as often is the case, is as informative as the presentation itself.
The Q&A:
We are of course, grateful to anyone willing to step out into the light and present a counter-narrative view on any of the various COMINTERN mass line narrative attacks. As Mia points out, it was the (Alinsky 13, critical theory) attacks on J.K. Rowling that actually inspired Mia to begin to really look into this. It should have been so for all of us for that matter.
As much or more damage was done to Nurse Amy Hamm in British Columbia for just liking a billboard with J.K. Rowling on it.
A couple of notes of interest:
What is interesting to me, was how, as is predicted by a solid understanding of Marxism, that each new wave of the revolution would negate the previous wave.
This can be seen in this instance by the common use of the pejorative, “TERF”, which Mia used a few times during her presentation, while quoting Trans-Activists. This is a term used by supporters of the Trans-LoO (Line of Operation) against feminists who oppose the Trans-narrative. And even those feminist themselves are a line of action against the traditional family.
TERF, as RAIR had the chance to ask Mia, is defined as “Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist”.
So the critical theory attack word, “TERF” is used to delegitimize an actual radical feminist who will not accept that a man who says he is a women, with or without medical procedures, is a woman. A 1984 MINITRU statement if ever there was one.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
? 1984
The 4th wave of feminism which includes gender theory, negates all previous waves of feminism which have become normalized to some degree now.
(One could argue that this means that 4th wave feminism, which includes Gender theory, has in practice, given far more power back to men willing to say they were women, than they ever had in the West previously. Men can now be put into women’s prisons! Even if they were convicted for raping women. But communist ‘reasoning’ creates a buyer’s market for irony when one doesn’t;’t understand its purpose. Which is destruction.)
Data point: Headline from the Daily Mail:
A transgender activist who had city funding stripped from Canada‘s oldest rape shelter has been awarded a medal as a ‘champion of diversity’.
Morgane Oger, a transgender woman, was given a Meritorious Service Medal by Canadian Governor-General Mary Simon on December 7.
Official photos show her receiving the award alongside dozens of other Canadians honored for their ‘exceptional deeds’.
Oger said she was ‘feeling so grateful’ to get a medal for ‘furthering the legal protections of transgender Canadians’.
Now this is where Hanlon’s Razor meets the road.
There is no way that Trudeau could do this without the conscious intent to assist the revolution through dialectic destruction of norms. This cannot be viewed as incompetence. A hundred times so when you examine all his other policies. Stupidity cannot always result in one set of results which are highly abstract. Only intent can.
If I had to define Hegelian Dialectics in a sentence, this would be one of the ways I would do it.
‘A series of slippery or deceptive explanations and other rhetorical devices used to cover for a result which is entirely different than the one being broadcast, and always, always results in destruction of a state of normalcy in Western Civilization.’
So each mass-line Narrative attack, ‘safe and effective’, ‘the Religion of Peace’, CO2 causes catastrophic global warming’, ‘mass children’s graves under residential schools’ and more than I can ever remember at a single sitting, are always both untrue, and lead to a consequence which advances communism.
To illustrate that point, the mass graves mass-line-narrative-attack has brought us to this point in Canada now:
So we have one of the Marxist results from the Mass Graves dialectic. The negation of private property. We will ignore for the moment the curious wording of the diktat where it says: “Without any prior notice to the landowners” because given the rest of the letter, that could be anyone. But assuming they meant the people who bought the property and have a title and deed to it, we have a pluperfect set of events here. A ludicrous and demonstrably untrue claim used to negate the concept of private property as it has always been used and understood in states resembling a republic, to its completion in a specific set of cases. Much like Global Warming is being used to destroy industry and a dozen other liberties such as Richmond BC negates property rights based on ‘carbon score’ and enforced by the coming digital ID.
And on point, the fact that a man is not a woman just by saying so, or for any other reason.
As Amy illustrated with her trick question in her presentation: “if there are 250,000 kids in the School system today, how many of them are trans?” Answer: None. there is no such thing.
Mia’s presentation offers two paths to an explanation of the huge amount of attention and large number of individuals who undergo this awful and monstrous set of procedures. The social contagion aspect, which is certainly true, especially when coupled with corruption of those who actually make a lot of money from making the drugs and doing the procedures, and the philosophical motivations, Which is where we tend to place the emphasis here at Vlad.
The video below we have posted many times before, because it is worth posting as often as needed. It explains what we suspect is the actual accelerant which made the issue mainstream:
One more additional thought:
Mia does speak on the social contagion aspect of the spread of Trans-ideology. This is undeniably true. But we posit that the social contagion is deliberately spread by the media for the purpose of a dialectic attack, exactly as they did Covid, Covid19 origin disinformation, a dozen things concerning Trump, the mass graves narrative and countless others on an infinite repeat loop, occasionally with a change of order of importance.
But what is also true, is teachers and school curricula complete with flags, symbols and classroom materials, that offer a student prestige and status merely for claiming one of the all-you-can-believe-buffet of identities that trans offers, so long as it isn’t one of an actual human biological reality. And giving a child instant higher status just for saying something is quite an incentive. It’s amazing that all of them haven’t taken the chance.
“It’s amazing that all of them haven’t taken the chance.”
Especially because the student form has a checkbox for “OK to share with parents. Yes/No”
It must be terrifying to have kids in public school today. Even parochial schools are hit and miss.
