So then their kid pops up, quoting all of these esoteric terms, and they've already lost the argument before it's begun. The grammar determines the reality; as soon as you allow that gender and sex are separate things, you've lost. The only person who can truly know your kid's "gender" is them, all you can do is to try and bribe them into not transitioning.

This is a great point. Remember when you were a kid, and you and your brother had a secret language you could use to fool your parents and send messages back and forth at the dinner table with no one being the wiser?

Shared secret gestures, phrases, even tones of voice that only the two of you understood? Just like private RVF jokes we have here.

That is what gender has become for young people. Not only do they get to imagine themselves on the cutting edge of empathy and morality, they get to befuddle and confuse the grownups. Both their light and dark natures appeased by the same act.

What got me onto this idea was when I was listening to one of the Boiler Room shows at the ACR network, and Jay Dyer's girlfriend, Jamie Hanshaw, was describing a party she had attended, and when the subject got around to gender, all the adults kind of just shut up and, she said, this one annoying young girl took on a didactic pedantic tone, lecturing her elders on all the differences between gender, sex, gender expression, and then enumerated the entire list of gender identities.

Hanshaw said that she was struck by the way the girl was getting off on being the expert and knowing that no one could keep up with what she was saying.

Teen agers and young adults are bad enough about feeling superior to their parents because of some stupid language they made up, but adding the emotional fillip of perceived moral superiority would make becoming a gender expert too hard to resist.

Check out this video from the ever condescending, ever morally superior Milo Stewart, where she unwittingly gives the game away.

She has nothing to say.

No statement to make.

She is trying to be confusing.

She is the perfect embodiment of the post-modernist.

All she knows how to do is tear down.
