Do we live in the dumbest possible world?
Sometimes it seems possible. Other times it seems certain.
So to be clear:
A woman was dragged through the legal system for three years for saying men have penises,
BUT
trans activists setting off a bomb in opposition to her book has seen zero consequences, much less MSM headlineshttps://t.co/Tc914w8td0 pic.twitter.com/JrzrK6Sbkw

There are hints that the alphabet madness might be retreating, but I am coming to believe that we are grasping onto a false hope based on the fact that, in a few cases, absolute insanity does not triumph. Combined with the rather fragile victory of Donald Trump and his efforts to roll back the worst of woke ideology, we may be lulled into thinking victory is at hand.
But then you see things like this:
A French women’s rights activist has been found guilty of “public insult” over a remark she made during a televised debate with a trans-identified male. Dora Moutot was informed on May 20 that she had been convicted of “public insult against a person or group of people on account of their sex, sexual orientation or gender identity” due to her comment that women are “wary of people with penises.”
Moutot made the statement during an October 2022 episode of the popular talk show Quelle Époque!, where she had been invited as a guest to debate a trans-identified male named Marie Cau, the mayor of Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes. While discussing the issue of men who claim to be transgender women, Moutot stated that women have a need to be cautious in the presence of “people with penises.”
In its ruling, the court argued that Moutot had reduced “transgender women” to “their male attribute.”
“By referring to them as ‘penis people’ whom ‘women’ are ‘forced to distrust’, the defendant first assigns transgender women to their penis, that is, to their male sexual attribute of birth, while denying their female gender identity since they are opposed to ‘women’, the defendant thus implicitly considering that transgender women are not women,” the verdict read.
That’s France, you think! Because of the First Amendment, that could never happen here, and in a sense, you are right. At least for a while. But think about all the leftist judges and the socialists who are getting elected at the state and local level, and I fear that the Biden-era speech suppression, the speech codes in our major institutions, and the efforts to subvert the anti-DEI mandates, and I am pretty convinced that civil instead of criminal penalties will be handed down for “insulting” speech.
The left has not abandoned gender ideology, critical race theory, DEI, or any of their other madness. In many cases, they aren’t even trying to hide it, except in purple areas like Virginia, where Abigail Spanberger masqueraded as a moderate until victory.
“By referring to them as ‘penis people’ whom ‘women’ are ‘forced to distrust’, the defendant first assigns transgender women to their penis, that is, to their male sexual attribute of birth, while denying their female gender identity since they are opposed to ‘women’, the defendant thus implicitly considering that transgender women are not women,” the verdict read.
Read it and weep. The court ruled that speaking the truth is impermissible. That is where we are. It is the same impulse that gets one prosecuted for calling a government official who is fat “fat.”

Pretty sure she is fat.
German police are still searching for the user who called this German politician fat on social media. Is that a crime? pic.twitter.com/y5ZEk9TvmY

Yep. She is fat.
None of this is going away, and the danger we face is assuming we are winning the battle without finishing the job. We have not won. We are not close to winning. We will have won when the last woke person is in an insane asylum.
