One of Theirs

The Progressives Own Joseph Roman

The West is awash with identity politics and "trans" politics.  The sexuality of no-one can be limited to genes or sexual body parts--we are told.  One's sexuality is all a matter of how one self-identifies.  Facebook has kindly identified over fifty different, distinct gender identities.  The chattering classes, the elite, the media, and the Left in general insist that the rest of society treat these gender identities with deep respect.

Recently a thirty-eight year old man, accused of a large number of molestation charges against pre-teen girls, offered a rationale for his actions: he said he was a boy trapped in a man's body.  He is playing the (now) stock, standard identity gambit.

A 38-year-old Chicago man accused of molesting three pre-teen girls told police he is a boy trapped in a man’s body, according to court documents.  Joseph Roman was charged with a long list of sexual molestation charges after three girls between the ages of six and eight came forward alleging they were assaulted during a three-year period.  During a January 24 hearing, Roman reportedly admitted to some of the charges and told the court he felt he was “a nine-year-old trapped in an adult’s body,” according to the Chicago Tribune.  [Breitbart News]

The point is this: no-one in the progressive identity crowd can gainsay the claim.  If a male can be a female inside a man's body--and that identity can be recognised in law, social institutions, employment, schools, the work-place, etc.--so must Roman's claim be recognized.
  On what basis could it not be recognized?   Genes mean nothing and have no significance.  Appearance is irrelevant.  Past behaviour is of no account.  When you look at Roman, all the outward appearance may scream "38 year old mature male".  But it is how Roman identifies himself, how he thinks of himself, and how he lusts and lunges in his inner soul that is critical.  His genetic identity is irrelevant.

Joseph Roman

Let no-one disparage the inner child above.  Let us all respect the struggles he is going through.  Let us make room for him in society.  Let us do all we can to help him make his inner self an outward living reality, so he can be and act out the way he identifies in his inner soul.

We recently listened to a couple of sports jocks on a radio broadcast discussing the latest identity marvel in New Zealand.  A male weight lifter has now qualified for the New Zealand women's national team, to compete in the upcoming Commonwealth Games (and possibly Olympic Games).  In gravitas tones they were discussing the identity struggles our male-female weightlifter had been through, assuring all their listeners what a complex matter it all was.  They scathingly chided callers who had ridiculed and dismissed outright the trans-genderism and identity politics involved.  These critical callers were ignorant rednecks, prols who lacked the facts and had no compassion or heart.

OK, guys.  Let's hear what you have to say about poor old Joseph Roman, who although 38 years old, is actually a boy trapped in an man's body.  He lusts after girls his "own age".  Who among you can deny the claim?  Who can criticize what this man is living through?  No-one--at least no-one who has identified themselves with the "identity crowd".  They must spring to his defence and cover him with understanding and sympathy.

You own the nonsense.  Now wear it.  Let all reasonable men and women (and children) see you for what you are.  If you will not stand with Roman and defend him, you are hypocrites.  If you do stand with him and defend him, you have been exposed, measured and found to be fools.
