Musk the Gender Heretic from the National Post Friday, 26 July 2024

Musk, the gender heretic
BILLIONAIRE SAYS ‘WOKE MIND VIRUS’ ‘KILLED’ HIS CHILD
AMY HAMM · 26 Jul 2024
National Post
TO GENDER ACTIVISTS, THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO BE A HERETIC.
Elon Musk is now the world’s greatest threat to gender ideology. Musk told the world Monday that he has made a vow to “destroy the woke mind virus” that he says took his son from him.
In an interview with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, Musk posited that Xavier had been killed by wokeness, in the form of gender ideology.

Xavier is not literally dead. Rather, his child, 20, now goes by Vivian Wilson and identifies as a transgender woman. “I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason. The reason it’s called deadnaming is because your son is dead. So, my son Xavier is dead. Killed by the woke mind virus,” said Musk. (“Deadnaming,” for those unaware, is the practice of referring to a transgender person by the name they used prior to transition — considered akin to literal violence by the most fervent of gender activists.)

Musk detailed how he felt “tricked” into signing the papers that enabled his son’s medical transition based on the oft-repeated, yet thoroughly discredited claim that gender dysphoric children will commit suicide if not allowed to change their gender — if they are not allowed to step onto a medical pathway that leads in a single direction and ends with potentially sterilizing puberty blockers, synthetic hormones, and disfiguring surgeries. “I was told Xavier might commit suicide,” said Musk, appearing flatter and more sombre than usual.

His revelation is unprecedented: if Musk — armed both with the resources of a billionaire and an IQ that dwarfs the average score — can be persuaded to approve the transitioning of a child based on poor or zero evidence, then any parent could be.

His admission also opened a largely closed door into a public discourse about regretful parents. How many parents could muster the humility and courage to admit that they harmed what is most precious to them — their own children? How many parents could admit to what Musk has, rather than choosing, for their own sanity, to believe that they made the right choice when they greenlighted their own children for the world’s largest — and arguably the worst — medical scandal in history? What a horrific reality to have to confront. Few are willing. Can we really blame them for ignoring or dismissing both the Cass Report and the WPATH files? I don’t. Let’s hope that Musk’s courage is contagious, as courage often is. Musk is not the first famous person to wade into the toxic debate over gender ideology. Among them, we of course also have the famous billionairess J.K. Rowling — whose contribution toward protecting women’s rights and child safeguarding have been immeasurable. There are several more, Jordan Peterson included. Bless them all. But it is by virtue of Musk’s deeply painful admission that he is now the largest threat to gender ideology out there.

To gender activists, there is more than one way to be a heretic. You can, most commonly, be the type of heretic that rejects any of the tenets of their gender based pseudo-religion. You can refuse to believe that a literal sex change is possible in humans. Heretic! You can suggest that no one is “born in the wrong body” and that kids should wait until they’re adults to decide to transition. Heretic! You can say that anyone born male (“assigned male at birth,” according to their doctrine) does not belong in women’s spaces. Heret—you get the idea.

Another way to be a heretic — and the activists particularly dislike this type — is to detransition. Gender activists will say, out one side of their mouth, that we must believe anyone and everyone’s claim about their gender identity, at all times — while out the other side of their mouth spitting venom at those who detransition, saying that they were “never really trans” to begin with. You cannot have it both ways. But gender activists — allergic to reality as they are — insist that they do. They treat vocal detransitioners, such as America’s Chloe Cole, horribly. Women like Cole are dismissed, with great irony on the behalf of gender activists, as fakers or cons.

Elon Musk represents a new type of heretic: the contrite parent. And it is both a result of this important discourse Musk initiated and, critically, by virtue of the fact that Musk, who — in all seriousness — is the only person on earth who can reasonably be believed after saying he will colonize Mars, that he is now the world’s largest threat to gender ideology.

Musk is currently the greatest living example of a human with the resources and the drive to do the things that he says he wants to do. “I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus,” Musk said. He believes that gender ideology is part of it. Did he buy X (formerly Twitter), where gender critical speech was once verboten, because of his Xavier?
What will Elon’s next move be in destroying this harmful ideology? We eagerly await.

Letter from 36 Organizations to Cancel Dr. Jordan Peterson's Show at the Canadian Tire Centre

Dr. Jordan Peterson is a brilliant, compassionate Canadian clinical psychologist, who, like countless other Canadians is concerned about the state of our country.....however 

No Free Speech for You Dr. Peterson!


Is the letter hate speech?  I think so.

Have any of the 36, even bothered to take the time to listen to Dr. Peterson

(I only counted 33 groups I'm hoping it's because the other three realized how silly it was )

from the letter

(not true) " the toxic and often violent rhetoric touted by Peterson whose quasi-academic ideas are misogynistic homophobic, transphobic, and racist has led to an increased environment of hate, especially towards the trans community that has been very evident in Ottawa"

( not true ) "Peterson has also advocated in favor of ideas like enforced monogamy that encourages that they should be treated like sexual objects instead of equals"  

( not true ) the ideas espoused by Peterson directly jeopardize the safety and the well-being of marginalized communities, especially women and transgender people.

the 36 hated the Freedom Convoy as well and supporters of course. We bad! Do they even know why the truckers did what they did? Probably not. Why don't they consider reading the back story of the Freedom Convoy? Sadly we have lost our freedom in Canada, and a group of ordinary Canadians does something about it. Yippee! Yes, it was noisy but absolutely peaceful. Don't be fooled by our local media. A big family of Canadians from every walk of life.......... LGBTQ, Pro Life, Pro Choice, Christians, Muslims, Atheists,  Indigenous etc............. came together in unity strength, and mutual respect.

Trudeau wouldn't meet with them because they had "unacceptable views." Sound familiar?

 And the 36 Called on the Creative Arts Agency to cancel their show and drop Peterson as a client. Are you kidding me?

 In this letter, the 36 vilify Chris Elson who came to Ottawa a year and a half ago to peacefully protest the harmful puberty blockers being given to our children and to speak with the teachers. Not surprisingly, Elson was met by a hate mob yelling and screaming at him (including a school board trustee) Never mind trying to hear what he had to say. Show some respect! Come on eh? Even the OCDSB called it " an act of hatred "


Incidentally, puberty blockers have been prohibited in many countries. Here in Canada, we can't even talk about the harm being caused without being labeled as promoting hatred,

Do the 36 even know what's going on in our schools? From the National Post, last August 

 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/np-view-canada-must-slow-down-and-reform-transgender-treatments-for-minors

The NP called for Canada to ban gender surgeries for minors and “take inspiration” from the recent reforms in Finland, Sweden, and the UK to ensure Canadian gender-questioning children receive appropriate and multi-disciplinary care. This statement from the NP came just weeks after the UK announced the closure of the Tavistock gender clinic for children and youth after an independent commission determined the current model was “not a safe or viable long-term option”.

 
the 36 seem to think that if you have a different belief or opinion than they have, then it is automatically hate speech.

No room for discussion

Oh, incidentally our woke friends in the Ottawa Media got a lot of mileage out of the letter. I saw a rather long tedious story in the Citizen and heard about it over and over on CFRA

Hardly a word about Dr. Peterson's event though. No surprise there.


He is the author of the famous book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos,

The 12 rules according to Peterson are: ( scary stuff eh )

  1. Stand up with your shoulders straight
  2. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping
  3. Befriend people who want the best for you
  4. Compare Yourself To Who You Were Yesterday, Not To Who Someone Else Is Today.
  5. Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them
  6. Set your house in order before you criticize the world
  7. Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient
  8. Tell the truth. Or at least don’t lie
  9. Assume the person you are listening to knows something you don’t
  10. Be precise in your speech
  11. Do not bother children while they are skateboarding
  12. Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street

Doctor Peterson like countless other Canadians is concerned about the state of our country However, it seems that many educators, doctors, and politicians are not, especially when it comes to our youth and our children born and unborn,

It's absolutely diabolical that we accept the murder of pre-born babies. and now young children are on the hit list. Who's next?

Oh and while I'm at it If the story below doesn't shame our Political Leaders then nothing will. 

MONTREAL – A 38-week, late term abortion took placeFeb 2, 2023 at the Montreal Sacred Heart Hospital.

Naturally, there was not a word about this from the Ottawa Media 

an excerpt from the article

The case was qualified as a “special case”. They were informed that the child would have to be injected with a substance to be euthanized so that it doesn’t cry before being ejected from the mother. Some of the staff have refused to take part in the “procedure”.

While Montreal Against Abortion spoke behind the scenes with the anonymous source, QLC decided to ask its supporters to pray for this baby to not be euthanized and for the conscience of the mother to be changed.

We received over 70 emails in this regard and some of our supporters have offered to adopt this child, others even took action by calling the hospital and speaking to the hospital staff. One of our supporters wrote:

"This email touched my heart and made me more aware of the atrocity of her abortion laws! Oh how sick our society is, it's so sad! What kind of leaders can allow this kind of laws?

Believe it or not though, if you peacefully protest these atrocities in Canada, 
as an example the March for Life,  ..... the haters are out yelling and screaming obscenities at you) Take a look at the sign they are holding. 
Lord have mercy on us
