This remark, of course, from the same unthinking blowhard mentality that tried to fob off this particular specimen of "dumb" as relevant and insightful.

I have not seen this issue of Nat Geo, or read or scrolled through any excerpts from it. I have not looked for any online reporting about this issue of Nat Geo.
Putting this image of the Nat Geo cover on display, as Wichita just did, does nothing to make me think that Wichita has anything important to say about the topics of gender dysphoria and transgender.

What do you think you know about it about the topics of gender dysphoria and transgender ?

I know a bullshit artist when I see one. Especially, a bullshit artist that's as shallow and hollow (and blatant) as... well, you can finish the sentence.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 06-29-2023).]

Actually, is relevant.
Reminds the enviro-quacks that when a liquid freezes the size expands. The volume does not.

That's an oxymoron. A sentence (two sentences) that are in contradiction to one another.
You don't know why that "ice cube" meme is irrelevant and does not make the point that Wichita thought it made when he posted it (quite some time ago.)
I explained it again just the other day:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/.../000494-20.html#p783
To make the explanation as short as I can, the "ice cube" meme represents the melting of an iceberg, but what the climate researchers are thinking about, in terms of rising sea levels, is the melting of glaciers. There are huge amounts of water that have been locked up as ice in glaciers for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and even more than a million years. Locked up as glacial ice on the land mass of Antarctica and Greenland and all around the Arctic circle. That's water that hasn't been part of the oceans since the rise of human civilization and even long before.
Global warming is melting these glaciers and transferring the meltwater into the oceans... ergo, higher sea levels.
There's also the thermal expansion of seawater as its temperature goes up, but that's above and beyond the "dumb" of that ice cube meme.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 06-29-2023).]

Wichita was "hoodwinked"
Wichita reported this previously, attributing the "coming for your children" chant to participants in a Pride parade. He must have thought it was "grooming" or a manifestation of a pro-grooming mindset.
When I stumbled upon this report, it confirmed what I thought was probably the backstory. The LGBTs and drag enthusiasts and their supporters were "trolling." The event was promoted as "New York City Drag March".
"‘We’re Coming For Your Children’ chant at NYC Drag March elicits outrage, but activists say it’s taken out of context"
| quote | | Organizers say the NYC Drag March is meant to be lighthearted and to poke fun at anti-LGBTQ sentiment. |

Excerpt:
| quote | To conservative pundits, activists and lawmakers, the video confirmed the allegations they’ve levied in recent years that the LGBTQ community is “grooming” children.
But to Brian Griffin, the original organizer of the NYC Drag March, if that’s the worst they heard, it’s only because he wasn’t there this year.
Griffin [who performs in drag as "Harmonie Moore"] said he chanted obscene things in the past, like “Kill, kill, kill, we’re coming to kill the mayor,” and joked about pubic hair and sex toys during marches. People at the Drag March regularly sing “God is a lesbian.”
“It’s all just words,” Griffin said. “It’s all presented to fulfill their worst stereotypes of us.”
The “coming for your children” chant has been used for years at Pride events, according to longtime march attendees and gay rights activists, who said it’s one of many provocative expressions used to regain control of slurs against LGBTQ people. And in this case, they said, right-wing activists are jumping on a single video to weaponize an out-of-context remark to further stigmatize the queer community. |

This is more than just a brief news report, but smaller than what I think of as a "magazine length" article. It's a colorful introduction to characters like the aforementioned Griffin, aka "Harmonie Moore," and Hucklefaery Ken, who performs in drag as "Sister-Lotti Da." There's only one photograph: a "crowd angle view" of the Drag March, from a vantage point that is about 20 feet ahead of the drag marchers' front row as they paraded through the street.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 07-02-2023).]
