"Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo"
I'm on my way, on my way
Wo bist du Adam? Who you running from? Is it the Erinyes? The Kindly Ones you thought Christianity destroyed? Surprised by terror Adam you run.
Are you a pressor man?
Downpressor man
Where you gonna run to?
All along that day
You gonna run to the sea
But the sea will be boiling
When you run to the sea
The sea will be boiling
Adam once, perhaps as late as 2020, Easter existed. In fear you flee to Transgender Day sponsored by the government of the United States this March 31, 2024 Common Era.
I do not object to civil rights nor other rights but I too want freedom. Freedom from sexual pathology as a cementing event. I object further to the bland acceptance by voters.
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans. It’s a day to reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to equality, where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives. 🌈
President Joe Biden has been a strong advocate for justice, ensuring that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, with dignity and respect. His Administration has made significant strides, including:
Appointing transgender leaders to key positions.
Ending the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in the military.
Strengthening civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, and more.
Signing the Respect for Marriage Act into law, allowing every American to marry the person they love.
Transgender Americans are an integral part of our nation, contributing in various ways—whether serving their communities, raising families, or running businesses. They deserve the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the fundamental freedom to be their true selves.
However, there’s a darker side: Extremists propose hundreds of hateful laws targeting transgender kids and their families. These bills attack our most basic American values—the freedom to be yourself, make your own health care decisions, and raise your own child. Such discrimination worsens our nation’s mental health crisis, with half of transgender youth considering suicide in the past year.
Additionally, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to claim lives. Let’s be clear: All these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.
President Biden’s Administration is actively working to stop bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice pushes back against extreme state laws targeting transgender youth, and law enforcement collaborates with community groups to combat hate and violence. Emergency mental health support is available through the nationwide suicide and crisis lifeline (dial “988” and press “3” for LGBTQI+ support).
We’re making public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including more inclusive passports and easier access to Social Security benefits. Let’s continue to celebrate and uplift transgender voices, fostering a more compassionate and understanding world

==The magnificent superiority of the bourgeois is grounded on unbelief, even after he has seen and touched. No! upon the utter impossibility of seeing and touching, due to unbelief.” The bourgeois is an idolater, enslaved by the visible. “Idolatry is the preference of the visible to the invisible.” “Business” is the bourgeois’s god, his absolute. It was the bourgeois who crucified Christ: on Golgotha he cut the world off from Christ, “money” from the poor. The Poor and Money are great symbols for Bloy, a mystery of money, mysterious separation from the spirit, and the middle-class world is governed by this money bereft of the spirit. Covid-19 then.
Middleclassdom is opposed to the Absolute, it is destructive of eternity. A bourgeois may be religious, and this middle-class religiosity is more hateful in Bloy’s eyes than atheism.
Food for thought this Easter.

For me it is a gauge and for them as well. The "tradition" is 15 years old. No one really cared. 15 years have rolled and no one really cares. All the Ecumenical organizations celebrate Hunky Jesus after all.
As a girl, I just wanted to wear pants. That became ok before I was born in the mid 1960s. I also wanted to play trombone, that worked out too. I wanted to own property, which I do, more or less. And I used to vote, but have become a bit discouraged about that. As for cutting any bits off or becoming a pharma customer for life, hard pass. Strangely, I never managed to get a tatoo, which like the jabs seemed obligitory these past decades, but others got many of them so it's all worked out.
