The wealth and privilege we universally experience in the US doesn’t seem to enrich us in a way that matters- to inspire us to elevate the less fortunate- rather it makes us greedy for more materialism, more convenience, and more comfort. As in the old CCR song, Fortunate Son, “...the only answer is more, more, more.” Within this framework however- entire generations knowing nothing other than wealth and privilege- discontentedness in life certainly seems real (perhaps even rampant because of our crass affluence) despite being utterly trivial on a global and historic basis.

With this in mind, picture what it must be like to be a girl or young woman in America today. Constant demands to be sexy, to be seductive, to be hot and desirable. Constant yearning for attention, to have endless social media “likes” and “followers,” to receive approval and validation from people known as well as total strangers. If a susceptible girl, insulated by wealth and privilege and lacking any deeper meaning or purpose, fails to receive attention, her options are limited: act even sexier, “twerk,” or perhaps to declare herself a lesbian, “non-binary,” or “transgender:” Consider the following headlines, just a few taken from the UK tabloid The Daily Mail in one single edition:

Taylor Swift rocked a dazzling pink rhinestone leotard before changing into a sizzling black bodysuit on Friday night when she kicked off her record-breaking Eras tour.

Chantel Jeffries shows off her jaw-dropping figure in a red thong bikini

Beyonce ditches her bra for nipple pasties as she slips her curves into VERY sheer gold dress for sexy snaps

Vicky Pattison flaunts her incredible figure in a skimpy black bikini

Lottie Moss goes topless and wears nothing but a thong as she showcases her sensational figure

Lauren Goodger stuns in a busty plunging swimsuit

Admittedly, I don’t know who most of these girls/women are, but I do know they are celebrities who value attention, glamour, money, and validation beyond any reasonable amount. I fear these are the heroes of girls and young women in America today, their role models, and NOBODY can live up to the artificial standards they ooze. Remove the make-up, high-fashion, and photo-shopping, and even the celebrities themselves can’t meet their own standard. The cultural powers promoting all this pernicious nonsense are not conservative Christian churches, to say the least, but the usual suspects: progressive media, cultural bon vivants, and corporations that prey on anyone vulnerable to give them a little more profit and gain a little more power.

How awful the abject void so many girls and young women must feel, especially if they are not attractive and sexy and hot, by failing to meet these completely unrealistic and meaningless standards. But no worry, there are always predators with easy answers of how the young females can feel good about themselves: progressive politicians, pretend experts in the media and medical establishment, and psuedo-educators concerned not with teaching but with indoctrination who say, “You are defective,” “Who you are isn’t right,” and “You are inherently flawed. You only need to turn your life over to us, allow us to amputate your breasts and saturate you with chemicals, and we will make you happy.” These are extraordinarily selfish, and greedy people who seek control, power, money, and their own affirmation by exploiting young women.

Up until this point and the fad and atrocity of “transgenderism,” compassionate people and a caring society at large would say, when counseling child or adolescent with perfectly normal insecurities, “You are fine the way you are. All this stuff- the looks, the glamour, popularity- is just superficial nonsense and as you grow up you’ll discover it means nothing. There will always be people who try to make you feel you are a failure, that something is wrong with you, and these are either bullies who do what they do because they themselves are weak and cowardly or, even worse, people who pretend they care about you but only want to control your life and take things from you for their own selfish reasons.”

What a grotesque power to hold as a politician, teacher, social worker, medical practitioner, or anyone in a position of legal or cultural authority: to fracture families and children, to coerce parents into giving up their children for sacrifice to appease the self-serving elite- bullies and thugs by any other name. And disgraceful shame to parents who are willing to comply. It’s funny in the sickest of ways: one of the most vile practices of slavery was splitting apart families, and one of the most depraved actions of tyrants is to get children to report parents for speech or thoughts contrary to the dictates of those in power; now, in the “transgender” world, it’s the hip thing to do.

Finally, if you are one of those who supports feminism, who thinks it was about empowering women, ending the hegemony of the patriarchy, equal opportunities, dispelling the notion that women should not be beholden to the superficialites of sexiness, glamour, and fashion to find their self-worth and the like, you have been deluding yourself. Feminism was and always will be about elites empowering themselves even further, and if it’s at the expense of women, that’s just fine. With few exceptions, feminists will support whatever is the progressive fad at the moment, and “transgenderism” makes their betrayal of women glaringly obvious: “We care much more about empowering males who pretend to be females than actual females: if you feel insecure being a female, shut up, get your breasts cut off, and pretend to be a guy.
