Rod over at TAC has been writing about transgender people and the downfall of traditional American morality (as he sees it) and the rise of disordered “individualism” over his notion of the common social good (which does not include people like me)

Rod publishes comments from a known neo Nazi (Deep South Populist) and approvingly cites white supremacists like Steve Sailor (formerly of VDARE).

However, my comment was too threatening for him after his latest two days of outrage directed at an African American post operative trans woman who used to go under the stripper alias of Magnolia Thunderpussy (which she borrowed from a 60’s era burlesque dancer and restaurateur in San Fransisco).

Magnolia Thunderpussy Records have been around for awhile as well, but Rod has never heard of any of that before and thinks repeating her former stage name paradoxically makes her ridiculous while reinforcing her threat (and anybody like her) to Christian society.

Here is my letter in full:

Rod…in all seriousness…you have written on this subject for years, and you sound exactly like a seminary student trying to write a thesis on what is morally wrong with 90’s African American pop music by looking at random People Magazine Covers from the period and without ever having listened to a single song.

Have you ever actually met a trans woman face to face? I am betting you have not. Have you interviewed a trans woman, or do you rely on pop media and NYT hagiographies to ratify your existing opinions because they advance your selected narrative? Is this how you prefer to do research? Magazine stories and anecdotes from “librul newspapers” that you can mock as advancing the cultural decline of America?

You might as well select a random sampling of participants in the Jerry Springer show and use them as your “condensed symbols”, even though you should know perfectly well your sample is not all representative of anything except the normal pathology that happens in any stratified social system.

The trans woman here represents nothing at all except herself. My (previous) snark on Westboro aside, they don’t really represent anything either. Magnolia doesn’t even provide a good representation for impoverished African American trans women since she is one of the .00001% who managed to actually transition with surgery. Most of them never get the money or means.

So before you keep sneering at her (a truly un-Christ-like attitude if I have ever seen one), ask yourself this:

Why are she and other trans women of color so easily cast aside and forced to live with violence and criminality to survive?
Do you, me and other members of society have an obligation to people like her? If so…what? If not…why not?

Is your dependency on theoretical notions of telos more important than lived reality of actual flesh and blood people? Compare and contrast with the Bolshevik experience of theoretical communism breaking down with the reality that private food plots were more productive than the collective farms.

Is it that important to you to insult her with deliberate misuse of pronouns? She is legally female and has had surgery. If you want to use genetics as your basis for pronouns, explain how woman who exhibit AIS (androgen insensitivity sydrome and who are genetically XY males but never developed male sex organs) should be classified. Should they get sex change surgery to be confirmed as men even if they have married men and adopted children? Why?

Is it acceptable to classify people as crazy, mentally unbalanced or evil for merely doing something you find distasteful? Should they consider you crazy in return? Should successful, career professional trans women be considered crazy as well?

Is it worthwhile to actually, physically talk to a person of a particular group before you base an entire eschatology of American decline on their limited acceptance??????
Just wondering.

Rod deleted the letter without comment. I was unaware that being a “conservative intellectual” involved cowardice.
