I wrote last year that the “LGBT” and feminist ideologies were running smack into each other like bulls, and the big losers would be women. It turns out I was off by a smidge. The big losers right now are our girls.

You see, if your young daughter isn’t totally cool with seeing a naked boy in the girls’ facilities at school, then she must ignore her own instincts, squash her discomfort, and stop being such a mean jerk. No one cares anymore how she feels.

I’m asking again: where are the feminists? They’ve all gone MIA. They haven’t got the guts to stand up to this “LGBT” madness, so they’re hiding in silence while their daughters take a direct hit.

This has nothing to do with acceptance of people who live with gender dysphoria. Compassion, respect, kindness, and love are everyone’s obligation toward their neighbor. There are perfectly reasonable and sensitive ways to accommodate the needs of the extremely few people who don’t want to use certain facilities. And frankly, prior to this year, I don’t recall hearing a peep about the supposed bathroom woes of “transgender” people. I expect they’ve been using the facilities of their choice all along, to no great fanfare or incident. The sudden grave and urgent need to open every Ladies room to men reeks of ulterior motives.

No, this is about a total societal transformation that seeks to destroy what is deemed “traditional” morality; the family unit of father, mother, and child; and mandate a redefinition of the human person that is not based on reason or science but totally on feelings and random identities not rooted in anything objectively real.

The transformation begins with the demand that we no longer call our children “boy” or “girl” anymore. We should now introduce into the malleable minds of little children the demonic idea that we are not created male and female. As I’ve said before, that’s precisely the goal: to indoctrinate our children into this madness from the time they’re out of diapers and condition them not to object anymore. They should take no cue from their bodies. We’ve decided it’s now responsible and enlightened parenting to sever our children from physical reality and natural law and send them drifting out into the vast sea of relativism, where nothing is certain except that nothing is certain.

The “LGBT” ideology wants to impose on everyone a ludicrous new set of pronouns including “ze” and “hir”, and already in New York, if you don’t use them you can be slapped with a steep fine. The big boot of totalitarianism is quickly stomping out that quaint notion of freedom we used to value in America. No one is free to object to this madness.

Too bad. I object anyway.

To the mostly-male staff of the Charlotte Observer Editorial board: I don’t have strong yet polite enough words to condemn that manipulative piece you ran on May 13th. The words are carefully couched in the language of equality, but the message is loud and clear: male genitalia “distress” is the mark of a bigot.

You have the audacity to tell young girls that if they feel any discomfort or even awkwardness at the sight of a penis; if they aren’t comfortable changing in front of a boy, and being exposed to a boy and that boy exposed to them, that it’s their deficiency. You have the misogynistic gall to tell them their natural and healthy instinct for privacy and modesty means they’re really just little bigots. They’re indefensibly fearful, and they must get over it. They must shut up and accept this violation, or be likened to the Ku Klux Klan.

Your disgusting column says to the girl who’s been molested or raped that her “discomfort” at the sight of a naked man is her problem. It means she’s got to overcome her prejudice and irrational fear. How dare you suggest that any girl — whether she’s a victim of abuse or not — who is not content to be exposed to male genitals at any time, any place, especially while she herself is undressed, is the equivalent of racists from 70 years ago who didn’t want to use the same drinking fountain as a (fully-clothed) black person?!

Modesty now equals bigotry? An appropriate sense of boundary between boys and girls now equals hateful fear and discrimination? Where are the feminists here? Where are the mothers with an ounce of sense and courage? Where are the fathers who give two bits about their daughters? Will nobody stand up and defend the girls?

No, because the Charlotte Observer folks have assured us that there’s no possible safety threat to our daughters by opportunistic predators who don’t have to explain to anyone why they’re walking into the Ladies room. It’s “political fiction” by fear-mongering Republicans. It’ll never happen.

Put the safety concern aside for just a moment. Isn’t it enough that girls are naturally uncomfortable doing private things like toileting and showering and dressing around boys? And vice versa? Isn’t a sense of healthy propriety enough of a reason to keep boys and girls separate in these situations? (Didn’t that used to be our job as adults?)

Nope. Girls, you’re on your own, and you must either decide to let the men tell you that your natural, healthy instincts make you a fearful bigot, or you can listen to your gut and your better judgment and realize, though very sadly, that modern feminism has abandoned you. You’ve been thrown to the wolves. You are the sacrifice offered on the altar of “LGBT” ideology.

So liberal feminists, wherever you’re hiding: you’re plenty fired up about keeping government out of your bedroom, but you’re just peachy about the government getting into your bathroom and your daughters’ locker room?

It would be an infringement of your daughters’ rights to not provide them with free contraception and abortions, but it’s no violation at all to let others decide for them when, where and how they must be exposed to the male form?

That supposed “war on women” you’ve been screaming about for years? Well, you’ve got a real one now, and your daughters are the demanded casualties. They now have to fight for the right to even be uncomfortable around a naked man. Do you care?

Nah, guess not. As long as they get free contraception and abortions.
