'Queer' Is Not About Gender; It Is an Assault on Reality Itself – HotAir

The alphabet wars are, as you might think, primarily about sexuality, sex, and sexual morality. When looked at in those terms, as many liberals do or claim to, you can see, if you squint hard enough, the point they make about just letting people live their lives in peace. At least until you start thinking about the impact that allowing men into women’s spaces and reality slaps you in the face. 





Most liberals only like to think about the issue as a question of tolerance. What do we care if some men want to wear dresses? In many cases, that is the limit of their thought process, akin to asking why we care what people do behind closed doors in their bedrooms. They avoid the more thorny issues in their minds or dismiss them as insignificant in light of the larger issue of tolerance. Throw in some handwaving and insane claims about boys being born in girls’ bodies or vice versa, and liberals can close their minds to the fact that their position is insane on its face. 

Look at Gavin Newsom dancing around about gender transition for children. 

He “gets it,” and then turns his state into a sanctuary for parents who kidnap their children to have them sterilized and mutilated. 

Handwaving indeed. 

But we miss the point if we only see the arguments about sex and gender, and we even have to see beyond the vital issues of men invading women’s spaces and stealing their opportunities, as important as those are. 





The whole point of “Queer” goes well beyond questions of sex and gender. It is a concept grounded in Critical Theory, and the point is not just about redefining sex and sexuality but reality itself. Getting people to reject fundamental realities grounded in our most basic biological facts–inescapable facts–is the whole point. 

If you can redefine gender, you can redefine anything. The point is to make the Critical Theorist the ultimate arbiter of reality. 

If that sounds extreme, you may not have attended college recently. Even back in the 90s, when I was in graduate school at Duke, I could on any given day interact with people who would insist that gravity is a social construct, and you can find all sorts of Critical Theory arguments in the physical sciences today. Biology is now filled with discussions of absolutely absurd concepts, and there are doctors who will explain to you that fat people get sick because of discrimination, not adipose tissue. 

“Healthy at any size” is literally murderous. 

The point of wiping away reality is not theoretical at all. If you read the literature that forms the foundation for much of K-12 through higher education, the goal is a form of “liberation” from reality, and especially the power structures that these theorists see as integral to the oppressive nature of our society. 





The new reality is defined by “oppressor” and “oppressed,” and what you and I see as reality is to them a consequence of a power structure that oppresses people. By redefining everything, the oppressed are liberated from the oppressor. 

It is modern-day Marxism, which has its origins in the late 30s and 40s when it became clear that economic conditions would not lead to the “inevitable” revolution of the proletariat. The “long march through the institutions” began in the 50s and especially the 60s, in which Marxists changed their tactics and began their invasion into the education system. 

“Queer” theory is all about deconstructing our reality and replacing it with “lived reality.” It is why Ana Navarro insists that reality is different for Latinx and white people. 





It’s all based on the same basic theory: that reality is a construct built on identity. It is why people speak of “my reality,” not reality. Language itself is a power structure, not a means of communication. All words are propaganda, and as such, there is no communicable truth. 

I tried to explain this to a liberal friend, who couldn’t understand why anybody would want to deconstruct reality rather than build a life around it. The answer is clear, though: power. Identity politics is the foundation for a lot of political and economic power. The George Floyd riots led to massive amounts of resources being directed toward leftist organizations, a doubling down of DEI programs that created jobs for Critical Theorists, and a massive shift in college admissions and corporate employment for ethnic groups. 

Lots of money and power flow around gender ideology. “Queers” are catered to–they are the most celebrated group by the left and liberals in America. Billions of dollars are diverted just to satisfy queer theorists, and look at the censorship efforts imposed on ordinary Americans at the direction of Queer theorists. 

And, of course, you have probably noticed that a huge proportion of the ground troops currently rioting and committing other political violence happen to be some letter on the alphabet spectrum, and there is even a “Queers for Palestine.” This is not by accident. This is in fact the goal of injecting Critical Theory into our education system–producing a generation of revolutionaries. 





“Queer” is only tangentially about sex–although under the banner of “queer” comes the normalization of deviant sexual desires such as “Minor Attracted People.” Queer is literally about redefining reality to benefit leftists, and it must be crushed.
