More Facebook censorship
By Pete North - June 27, 2022
It’s usually Twitter censoring me but this week it’s Facebook and I’m now suspended for seven days for a post from last month. They’re now retroactively censoring the debate on trans issues along with climate and immigration. Since Facebook removed the post, ironically about censorship, I’m republishing it here:
This week I’ve been accused of “transphobic hate speech”. I normally wouldn’t make anything of it since I don’t care what people who say things like “transphobic hate speech” think of me – or anything else – not least since they’re not actually capable of thinking. What’s more, these people are generally ignorant of the issues, and are more driven by the need to be seen to be “compassionate” by their friends and peers. Accusing someone of hate speech or being “phobic” is just a way to parade one’s conformity to the in group. Sheep, basically.
I’m not going to rehearse all the arguments around the issue. Ultimately, there are no trans people. There are males who have surgery and take mostly unsuccessful steps to resemble females. There’s a tiny number of females who take the opposite journey. They then become permanent medical patients with endless physical problems and psychological problems that would have better addressed before surgical intervention.
That argument has largely been won, and we’re just waiting for the establishment to realise its errors. That day will come soon when the NHS and various arms of the state are smacked with multiple, very expensive court cases over the lives that trans ideology has destroyed. The whole thing will come tumbling down.
In any case I’m not going to be lectured by anyone as to what constitutes compassion. Real compassion is telling people the the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. Affirming someone’s delusion is not “being kind”. That’s just being polite for expediency’s sake.
The wider issues are of more concern to me. I’m actually less interested in the feminist angle since only women can really fight that corner. It has no weight coming from middle aged white men, and women don’t need men to make their case for them. Isn’t that the point of feminism? Where this does become my problem is when it starts to impinge in my freedom of expression – and it has, when I’m not even allowed to debate the TQIA+ agenda and its ramifications without facing a social media ban.
My latest crime is to equate the TQIA+ agenda with noncery. I’m told this ignores all the nuance, but for once this isn’t a nuanced debate. There is no such thing as “non binary” and if you ain’t LG or B then you ain’t “queer” either. You’re just a very very tedious person trying to appear in interesting – so we can throw all that out and look at what’s left. What you’re left with is is self-styled “queer” activists with sexual fetishes they want to expose to children, preferably without parental consent.
The Scottish Nonce Party is currently under the spell of these such activists which is why the party has such an unhealthy obsession with the sexuality of children. You then have the associated lawfare in seeking to feed puberty blockers to children without the knowledge of parents. Slyly, these activists are rewriting school curricula, and misrepresenting their NGO guidelines as having legal weight. It’s a wholly predatory agenda.
So then if you are gay, lesbian or bi, it’s not for me to tread lightly around the issues. If you’re going to wave the flag of the Rainbow Reich and and count yourself among them, you can’t be remotely surprised if gay acceptance is going backwards. Safeguarding children and impressionable young minds comes first. It’s not for me to censor my opinions to prevent your feelings being hurt. Clean up your own shop first. You can stick your pride flag up your arse.
