In Praise of Oppressive Cisgender Normalities By Mrs Vera West

     Here is my favourite crazy politically correct story for the week:
  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/04/25/temple-professor-the-american-home-is-an-oppressive-cisgender-space/ 

“A recently published academic journal article from a professor at Temple University makes the case that the typical American household reinforces oppressive cisgender normalities. Max J. Andrucki, a professor of geography and urban studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, penned a recent academic journal article on the oppressive nature of the American household. The article, which was recently highlighted by the popular New Real Peer Review Twitter account, is entitled “Trans objects: materializing queer time in US transmasculine homes,” was published last week in the academic journal Gender, Place and Culture. The article, at its core, argues that traditional American homes fail to embrace “trans objects.”

Andrucki says that transgender individuals should fill their living spaces with objects that remind them of the trans experience. He argues “that photographs and items of décor – particular, meaningful objects in trans homes – function to materialize the queerness of transition, and thus constitute a material expression of queer time.” This needs to be called out as nonsense. A conventional home does not run to “queer time,” and nor should it because people have a right to embrace cisgender. This seems to be an example of cultural imperialism and intolerance. And speaking of intolerance, there is the transgender witchcraft story of  this crazy  week:
  http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/04/25/transgender-inmate-sues-prison-over-witchcraft-rights.html

“A transgender inmate is suing a North Carolina prison, saying it’s blocking her from practicing witchcraft. The Charlotte Observer reports 40-year-old Jennifer Ann Jasmaine says in the lawsuit that chaplains at the all-male Lanesboro Correctional Institution have violated her constitutional rights by restricting when, where and how she can practice Wicca, the religion based on ancient pagan beliefs. Jasmaine also says Lanesboro refused to provide her with the foods Wiccans are supposed to eat. By contrast, Jasmaine said Christian inmates at Lanesboro are allowed to worship six times a week, while Native Americans can conduct their rituals three times weekly. Lanesboro is a maximum-security prison about 45 miles (70 kilometers) southeast of Charlotte."

     This is a tough one for a Christian and also supporter of individual rights. I cannot support witchcraft, which I reject in total, but the reality is that society is pluralistic and if Native Americans are free to conduct rituals, then it is hard to argue against Wicca, however much I may hate it. This is yet another agonising consequence of pluralistic societies that place individual in continuous moral conflicts. The good life is one spend in homogeneous societies, and I imagine that heaven will appear homogenous to all of us, whatever our differences. Or, in the spiritual realm, we emerge with a new homogeneous spirit.
