Reader’s Commentary: Being ‘woke’ seen as dangerous

What would you think if you asked a person what the weather was going to be tomorrow who answered, “I don’t know, I’m not a meteorologist? You probably would think they were joking…right?

There was a question asked of candidate for U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Judge Brown Jackson, at the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week, whether she could define the term woman. She answered by saying: “I don’t know….I’m not a biologist.”

Look up the term woke to see why a candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court cannot answer a simple question a fourth grader would not have a problem answering.

We seem to be having difficulty with basic biology, lately. If someone would have had difficulty with this question even 10 years ago, it would have been something we would have treated with irony and even humor. A lot of things have changed in our country. But, reinterpreting the laws of nature, because of emotions, is a new and disturbing concept/trend with science deniers. We are in uncharted waters. Employees are being fired from jobs for referring to coworkers using so-called inappropriate pronouns that don’t fit the gender they want to be.

We’ve known for a long time, there are individuals (.6%) who are born transsexual. As a science teacher, I used to go into detail, with my students, the science of how it happens. There are those born who have chromosomal anomalies. Simply put, they have too many, or too few, sex chromosomes in their cellular make up. These individuals don’t go through puberty. From birth, they are raised as boys or girls, depending on how their parents choose. At age 11 or 12, they receive hormone therapy, which produce secondary sex characteristics of the gender they were assigned by parents when they were born. These children would not acquire secondary sex characteristics without hormone therapy.

Enter the woke age of identifying sex regardless of biology, based only on feelings. No science necessary! These are individuals who are born with normal chromosomes, XX for female and XY for male. They are not transsexuals by the standards of biology.

William Thomas, now Lia Thomas was born a biological male (XY). William went through the biological development of a male up to the age of 22 and still has the genitalia of a man. But William, now Lia, identifies as female because that is what Lia thinks and feels. Most individuals didn’t mind how Lia wanted to be until Lia decided to compete on a women’s swim team at the University of Pennsylvania. Incredibly, a woke NCAA bought into Lia’s being female. Lia’s feelings, not biology, were enough to qualify Lia as female. Lia did compete as a man on the University of Pennsylvania swim team. Lia decided to compete as a female this year, and in that process, shattered women’s school swimming records in several events, including some at the NCAA women’s championships. Lia was ranked No. 462 as a male swimmer last year and this year the No. 1 female swimmer in the NCAA is a man.

USA Today’s woman of the year is a man. Rachel Levine (assistant secretary of Health Department) fathered two children and lived as a family man for the first 50 years of Levine’s life, yet qualified to be woman of the year. Charley Kirk, president of Turning Points USA, put this factual information on his Twitter account. He was banned by Twitter. Interestingly, neither president Vladimir Putin, nor the prime minister, both of Russia have been banned by the Big Tech Corporation. Charley Kirk is obviously a larger threat to the world order than Russian leaders, according to Twitter.

Everything Charley Kirk tweeted concerning Levine was accurate and factual. But facts don’t matter, apparently, to Twitter. Ask yourself. What is defamatory about biological facts?

All of this would be funny if it weren’t dangerous. The NCAA and universities, Big Tech, corporations, media, and government have banded together to control the narratives and what is allowed to be said. It is the woke mob.

Those wield power over candidates for Supreme Court of the United States. They control what you know and can’t know. Sit down! Shut up!

Wear your mask! Take your vaccines! There are no differences between men and women. We control the vertical, we control the horizontal. You’ll pay higher gas prices and like it! Climate change is real and if you don’t believe and comply, you’ll be arrested. Stop eating meat! Get used to 10% inflation! You’ve had it too good… it is time to share your wealth with the two million who came across the border this year and the many millions next year and so on.

What you say is monitored. We will ban your speech. Big Brother is watching and listening. Your social credit score may determine if you get that bank loan or how far you are allowed to drive…just the same as in China!
