There was a time when women couldn't be professional competitors in sports. Because - excluding synchronised swimming - women in general, as a collective, cannot compete with the heavier muscular mass and more streamlined shape of men. Women for most of history were kept to the sidelines and even mocked for their sports pretensions, and never allowed to earn money as professional sportswomen. This way the lie could be maintained that women were inferior for many lucrative jobs, not only sports but in the professions as well.
There was a time when women did not have any safe spaces. All could be invaded by men, and women were encouraged, and in many cases forced, to limit themselves to indoors as a result.
There was a time when women had no rights, over their bodies, over their children, over money.
There was a time when eunuchs were created, women were butchered for being hysterical and some men were castrated in order for the rich to use them as servants or listen to them singing.
Nowadays, these same elites have created a society so alienating and competitive, and with such poor intellectual standards in general culture and education, that many people are mentally ill and easily misled. Now these elites prefer to insist that the ideations of the mentally ill and confused have a material reality, and that our species is not sexually dimorphic. The corruption in media, politics and law allows this lie to be repeated so often that people forget what they knew not so long ago: that our species has exactly two sexes and that everyone actually knows that their biological mother is a woman.
There was a time when society forgot that great inequality is unfair and incompatible with democracy, because it is a fact that the very rich will buy political and economic advantage.
There was a time when unbridled capitalism and unchecked corporate power ruled the roost until human suffering threatened to create a revolution.
There was also a time when it was understood that well-being depends on a good personal immune system and that chopping off parts of your body, injecting poisons, or implanting synthetic substances not necessitated by specific medical reasons is a truly bad idea; and that transhumanism is a pernicious, horrible idea found in science fiction and nowhere else.
Why have we forgotten that creating eunuchs is a horrible idea and that desexing children is a crime?
Why have we forgotten basic biology and that good health depends on eating natural food, taking few pharmaceutical products and never taking any when one is well?
Why have we unlearnt that new-born babies that are taken away from their mother are on sale exclusively because the mother is poor, and because those who have bought the baby are treating her like nothing more than a slave and a breeder? That the buyers' attitude towards the mother and child is reprehensible and that they should never be allowed to buy another human being. That not only the mother's but the baby's most basic rights are being violated?
Why have we forgotten that there are no unsymptomatic ill people, that if you feel well you are well?
Why have we forgotten the simple fact that an economic and political system that gives us large corporations that have more rights than real people is not a system that cares about us as individuals? This system that gives a few great power over the 99%, is not a benign one and is leading us to hell.
Can we not see that a State that claims total rights over children, including the right to encourage those children to think they can change their sex, is a State that takes rights away from poor parents, not rich ones?
Why do we always allow our governments to spend millions on dangerous drugs supposedly to treat sick people at home and abroad; and, yet, we do not insist they provide clean water, basic housing and sufficient food, which would in itself keep the whole world healthy?
