Twenty-five years ago, when today’s Millenials were toddlers growing up in my synagogue community, I had a favorite story for them.
At least once every Shabbos, I explained I had been born a lion. I lived in a nearby jungle with Mama Lion and my siblings.
On the summer morning that I turned three years old, I was shocked when I awakened.
Without warning, overnight I had morphed into a human being. Eyes in my young audience widened. Mouths involuntarily opened.
“And that is how I arrived in Venice,” I told them.
Not a non-believer was within hearing range.
Suppose I had been born a lion and had not transitioned into a standard two-legged earthling?
On my numerous business trips to North Carolina each year, would I be forced to knock on the doors of strangers in residential neighborhoods and ask to use their bathrooms? Lions Only public potties have been barred in North Carolina as part of the new state law that forces transgendered persons – both of them — to use the public restrooms according their gender at birth.
Even for North Carolinians, this is silliness taken seriously. There is no way, nor should there be, to effectively police this nonsense that surely must have started as a practical joke.
But leftists, like alcoholics, are intrinsically unable to let a temptation pass without depositing a contribution.
And so the often unintentionally funny County Board of Supervisors has stuck its dirty fingers into the children’s soup again.
The Board of Supes’ three political juveniles – Mark Ridley-Thomas, Sheila Kuehl and Hilda Solis, all fawning dupes of the gay community — once again have paid homage to America’s favorite self-ordained victims.
Utilizing lessons they learned growing up as transgender-wannabes in the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, they banned official travel to North Carolina.
County leaders visit with moon and North Carolina with matching regularity.
“Oh,” said the three Supes dupes.
Why do you have to jump on every attempt at bringing equality and fairness to the world and label it as a leftist plot? Go talk to some people from the Transgender community and maybe you might come away with a more informed opinion.
To all those who described those cheap fliers distributed door-to-door last month as an unprecedented, beyond-the-pale injection of ugliness and hate into our formerly-enlightened Culver City discourse: *this*– this “editorial” above– is what hate actually looks like. Read it again. Compared to the above, those election fliers were a Hallmark card.
