"I did it!" exclaimed Budde, proudly hugging supporters. "I finally showed all you morons out there precisely why women should never, ever be allowed to lead a church. Did you see everyone's faces in the congregation? Oh man, I just owned so many mainline denomination chumps, and all on national television. Amazing."

After 70 years of attempting to make lady pastors a thing, progressive denominations across the globe admitted the experiment was over. "Welp, this was a mistake," admitted Anglican bishop Reginald Donaldson. "Bishop Budde showed the world why the church's stance for the first 1,950 years of existence was the correct one. If you watch her even for a minute, you will walk away knowing that only men should lead a church. It was the most compelling argument I've ever heard."

At publishing time, the Episcopal Church had defended itself by stating that they honestly thought this whole time that Bishop Budde was a dude.

Just so, dear boy. Food for thought, no? You understand all too well as an immigrant to our fine country.

.She added: “Knowing that a lot of people in our country right now are really scared, I wanted to take the opportunity in the context of that service for unity, to say we need to treat everyone with dignity, and we need to be merciful, I was trying to counter the narrative that is so so divisive and polarizing, and in which people, real people, are being are being harmed.”

We're here for you.

Sooo..... "WHAAAAAA....." is correct. 


Anyway, the Trump order has nuffin' to do wiv 'harming' anyone. It is about protecting women's rights and everyone's freedom of conscience from a corrosive, stupid ideology::



Section 1.  Purpose.  Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic abuse shelters to women’s workplace showers.  This is wrong.  Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being.  The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system.  Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.

This unhealthy road is paved by an ongoing and purposeful attack against the ordinary and longstanding use and understanding of biological and scientific terms, replacing the immutable biological reality of sex with an internal, fluid, and subjective sense of self unmoored from biological facts.  Invalidating the true and biological category of “woman” improperly transforms laws and policies designed to protect sex-based opportunities into laws and policies that undermine them, replacing longstanding, cherished legal rights and values with an identity-based, inchoate social concept.

Accordingly, my Administration will defend women’s rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male.

Some truth bombs:

(f)  “Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true.  Gender ideology includes the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from one’s sex.  Gender ideology is internally inconsistent, in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body.



(e)  Agencies shall remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications or other messages.  Agency forms that require an individual’s sex shall list male or female, and shall not request gender identity.  Agencies shall take all necessary steps, as permitted by law, to end the Federal funding of gender ideology.

(g)  Federal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology.  Each agency shall assess grant conditions and grantee preferences and ensure grant funds do not promote gender ideology.




Which bit denies dignity, mercy? Which bit is 'divisive'? (Isn't diversity our strength anyway??) Which bit is harmful?
