Let’s think long and hard about the fact that that bozo who shot up the parade in Highland Park dressed as a (butt-ass ugly ) woman to evаde suspicion and capture.
With all the attention being paid to ”trans” individuals , the ”respect” due to their ”bravery”, doesnt anybody think it’s worth exploring why this guy just assumed a woman would be perceived as non-threatening? And everybody else understands why he thought that? in spite of the fact that a gun is a totally gender neutral weapon, you dont have to be physically strong and big to shoot.
A man disguising himself s a woman, hiding behind a skirt, is traditionally regarded as an act of cowardice. At best in evokes ridicule, at most, disgust. Think of the (probably fictional) gentleman who purloined his wife’s clothes to get into a lifeboat on the Titanic.
OTOH, there’s Bonnie Prince Charlie escaping to Skye in drag, and the young Achilles disguised as the beauteous Pyrrha.
Its just..in the aberrant cultural backwater we’re eddying around in now, where we’ve made an icon out of Bruce Jenner, where its considered praiseworthy for a man to pretend to be a woman—
What should we make of the now familiar still shot of that tiny-craniumed murderer decked in calico and lace?

Howdy, Hyp! Your thoughts here remind me of an obverse scenario during our Revolution and Civil War. Women “passing” as men, to accompany sweethearts into battle. True bravery that didn’t deny femininity. Hurrah! Agree entirely re: your premise here, as well.

A woman dressing as a man used to be just as transgressive, perverse, shocking. And that is interesting— by Shakespeare’s time it was just kinda…charming, feisty ( although at the Globe, those were boys pretending to be girls who were pretending to be boys…) I reckon one way of looking t it is that we’re in a transitional period right now where male cross-dressing is coming to be regarded the same way as female cross-dressing. As they used to say in Vaudeville, a man dressed as a woman is funny; a woman dressed s a man isn’t.

Ah, the Bard of Avon was adept at creating thought-provoking, downright funny tangles – without denying basic biology…Cross-dressing is amusing. “Transitioning” (except for a biologically indeterminate few) seems to be taking on a rather malevolent tone recently. (See JBP’s “Twitter ban”.)

America has both a God and gun problem. Progressives solution is to cause gun violence to use it to grab guns from law abiding citizens.

Younger generations are being indoctrinated into hating their birth right and nihilism. Little wonder we get this.
If MSM would stop announcing the names of these leftist nut job shooters, we would have fewer of them.

These are local crimes, not national threats; all tragic and preventable, but not grist for the national news cycle.
