Rationality is being overcome by political correctness.

2/27/2021

Five physicians educated in the objective science of medicine recently remonstrated against what they called discrimination against LGBTQ “rights.” But their claims ignored the fact of their subjective source. They told their readers what they thought with no reference to an objective reality or the values derived from it. Practicing the discrimination they allegedly abhor, they failed to distinguish between what is fair and what is not to render their preferred conclusions.

But for one instance their complaints are too many to mention here. Generally, no one wants to be an agent of human suffering. That is why some doctors do not want to be forced to treat transgenders according to prescribed political opinions. The writers decry such a position as hurtful; physicians trained in objective assessment might say that to reinforce errant perceptions is even more so. Science says men are men and women, women. That is not a vacuous political opinion.

Understanding transgenders underlying psychology would help them immensely but these physicians deny that confused thinking, apparently to “win” a political argument.

It was Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “conviction that the health of a social order is dependent on the ideas active within it.” Anybody know a good Doctor?

Thank you for your letter, Lynn. I’m afraid I’m having some trouble with portions of it.

 

I’m confused by your references to a “subjective source” and criticism of the physicians’ letter as lacking “reference to an objective reality.” I don’t understand what your basis is for saying they are practicing discrimination.

 

Most importantly, your statement that “science says men are men and women, women” is incorrect, and does not reflect modern understanding of the interrelated but differing definitions of biological sex and gender. Even in the narrowest sense – speaking only of physical sex characteristics – it is a fact that a small percentage of the population is born intersex. [She didn’t have an argument just an unsupported claim so she changed the subject from treating transgenders to a completely different and unrelated subject that had not been brought up by the Doctors or myself.]

 

I hope you find this feedback useful.

 

All the best,

Missoulian Opinion editor

Another little letter nobody wants. 

In a recent diatribe against Senator Steve Daines Missoulian opinion writer George Ochenski mocked him for noting that protections for bird and turtle eggs can exceed those of unborn human beings. It was a simple contrast meant to make the point that children are devalued and dehumanized by abortion. But he will not leave it at that. “Of course,” he says, “our brilliant senator seems to miss the fact that” animals are not humans. But that was the contrast.

Ochenski, rightly believes (as surely does Senator Daines) that animals being protected from extinction has great value; on the other hand, he believes humans are so abundant that requiring “all pregnancies be carried to term by government fiat” is a waste of resources thus devaluing human life. According to Ochenski, when the herd gets too big just cull it.

If the Supreme Court overturns Roe it will be because the decision was never supported by the Constitution. The issue would then return to the states for a democratic resolution. If children’s lives are then protected it will have been a democratic outcome, not an arbitrary fiat. If their lives are not protected then society has a bigger problem than abortion.

What would I say if allowed to speak to the public? Pretty much the same thing I’ve been saying for years.

The government has been investigating me for over 30 years. In that time investigators have made multiple attempts on my life. George Bush initially signed off on my murder. Bill Clinton wanted to use private contractors irresistible technology to make my daughter into a prostitute. Joe Biden advocated her gang rape. She was 7 or 8 years old when this started.

Objections have been made in multiple letters and a 170,000 word book.

For all this, silence has swallowed my remonstrations. Government is perpetuating a fraud and does not want to be found guilty in court so the law languishes while government plots more violence and lies.

Is the law on their side? Never, they are law breakers that hide behind it to perpetuate their lawlessness under the color of law. The end.
