The thing about pride is that, by definition, it is something related to accomplishment. For example, one might feel a neighborly pride because they learned the skills that allow them to help the widow next door with a plumbing problem, or do-gooder pride because they set up a fun and wholesome project for poor kids in an impoverished country. Feeling pride merely for existing is empty and meaningless, like getting an award for simply showing up and meeting minimal expectations. Really, how much pride can a male athlete, who doesn\u2019t do well competing against fellow males, feel by declaring he\u2019s a female and beating girls? Hopefully none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rhys-mckinnon-aka-rachael-mckinnon-aka-veronica-ivy-.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rhys-mckinnon-aka-rachael-mckinnon-aka-veronica-ivy-.png?resize=332%2C429&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-996\" width=\"332\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rhys-mckinnon-aka-rachael-mckinnon-aka-veronica-ivy-.png?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rhys-mckinnon-aka-rachael-mckinnon-aka-veronica-ivy-.png?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>The proud winner is Rhys McKinnon, who later changed his name to Rachael McKinnon, and again to Veronica Ivy.

It shouldn\u2019t be necessary for one\u2019s self-esteem and contentment to be based on how someone else feels about them, to outsource your self-worth so to speak. Ultimately it\u2019s a losing proposition, a life-long quest that will never find fulfillment. If you are okay with who you are, then BE accepting of who you are. What someone else thinks or believes shouldn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disturbingly, the heretofore idea of tolerance, a crucial and fundamental element of any civil society, has been cast aside, largely as a result of homosexual activism.

In essence, our culture is being turned into a cult, a pernicious cult that rejects the tenets of pluralism, free expression and thought, and even basic decency.
