Contrary to popular belief, if a bit disappointing, this post is not regarding the emerging genre of Transgendered Gijinka Harbor Ports. So to my friends and other reading this, I am sorry. No, this is regarding the recent Supreme Court upholding of the Oompa Loompa in-chief’s executive order to require birth sex to be on all passports or not, I may just vent. And quite frankly, I am getting exhausted at all this hate from the people we choose to represent us, we the people- not they the person. We choose these figureheads to represent our needs, not their aging doctrines.
Time and time again, moment to moment, the country chooses to express love and understanding for our fellow humans and species. But in those same frames, those we choose to represent us don’t just serve themselves- but they choose to serve their discriminatory fears. We’re getting more people in office that are either openly LGBTQIA+ or support us on a visceral level. So, pray tell, why are they not changing with their constituents like the spirit of their duty requires? Why are they not doing their jobs, instead fighting back at the very thing they swore to protect?
See, this is the magic of the United States way of doing things, at least in an idealistic world. One system checks another, ad infinitum. But in practice, they are all self serving single celled organisms that barely have a mitochondria to leave enough instructions to breathe and we suffer for this level of critical malfunction. And while I can, I absolutely cannot with these people. If your goal is to discriminate against people, if you need to vent your fears, do what the rest of us do: Play Chutes and Ladders with rigged dice against a five year old in a desperate attempt to feel superior. Or ya know, grow up and accept people for who they are?!
They are at a stage of rolling a natural zero on every roll, and they’re dragging us along for the ride. Have they learned? Hate never wins, it never lasts, it may for a few years but in the end it dies. Along with their actions, it too shall pass. Not soon enough though at any rate. And one day, a day too late…
