We’re all unfortunately familiar with emojis. And while a few of them, like a smiley face or a laughing face with tears of joy may help convey what we mean in a text message, unfortunately the number of emojis just keep growing and growing and now include symbols of food, buildings, and just about anything one can imagine. Anything except a pregnant man, so the SJWs are upset about this “lack of diversity.”
“If Unicode [the organization responsible for which emojis are added to smartphone keyboards] wants proper gender representation in emoji, it needs to be able to represent pregnant people who aren’t female,” said one activist who got upset when they added a softball emoji, but no transgender or non-binary people.673
She complained, “Adding gender to Unicode was a massive mistake right from the start. The basic premise just didn’t make sense to me [but] now that they have done it, they stubbornly refuse to actually do gender properly,” she said.674
Up until 2015, emojis were all yellow, like PacMan, but the SJWs wanted different races represented, so then new options were added to the emoji keyboard which allowed users to choose the shade of skin tone for the emojis, ranging from pale to very dark.675
How come all the emojis are of people with two eyes? What about people who have only one eye due to a birth defect or an accident? Why aren’t they represented? Why do they all look like they’re people of an average weight? Where are the obese emojis? How come the emojis all have two arms and two legs? Why are amputee people not represented? Of course I’m being sarcastic, but I’ll bet that soon social justice warriors will seriously try to argue these points and persuade the tech companies to include even more “diversity” emojis to satisfy them. And I have little doubt that the emojis will then be added.
They Can’t Take A Joke
Since most liberals are miserable because of their strange fixations and hallucinations of racism and sexism around every corner, they can’t have any fun and also try to ruin the fun for the rest of us. One of the things that triggers them the most are jokes about “trannys.” Just the word “tranny” sets them off, but they’re also extremely sensitive about any jokes making fun of “trannys,” or any of the gender-bending nonsense.
After Michelle Obama spoke at the Democrat National Convention in 2016, I sarcastically tweeted how nice and “inclusive” it was of the Democrats to include a transgender speaker, and people went so nuts I started trending on Twitter from all the hate. When cartoonist Ben Garrison depicted Michelle Obama as being a muscular, angry-looking person with a bulge in her crotch, people freaked so bad calling it “racist” and “transphobic” that it made headlines.676
While hosting the iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2015, Jamie Foxx upset idiots on the Internet for cracking some jokes about Bruce Jenner, who had recently announced his plans to “transition” into a woman. “We have some groundbreaking performances here, too, tonight,” Foxx began. “We got Bruce Jenner, who will be here doing some musical performances. He’s doing a his-and-her duet all by himself.” Some of the audience groaned, to which he responded, “I’m just busting your balls… while I still can.”677 Of course the tweets flooded in to Twitter accusing him of “transphobia” and denouncing iHeartRadio for allowing him to host the show.
During the taping of Spike TV’s Guy’s Choice Awards in 2015, 85-year-old Clint Eastwood cracked a joke about Caitlyn Jenner transitioning, but when the show aired a few days later, the network had cut the “inappropriate” joke out.678
When Dave Chappelle returned to the spotlight with two Netflix specials in January 2018, he upset some of his fans because he said he finds transgender people to be hilariously strange.679 Despite saying he has empathy for them, and supporting their goals of being accepted in society, he just pointed out how he’s surprised most of them don’t see the humor in their predicament. His jokes were called “reckless” and “hateful.”
Saturday Night Live has been under fire for their It’s Pat skits from the early 1990s which featured a gender ambiguous person named Pat, and depicted him (or her) in various situations where people interacting with Pat struggled with trying to discover his/her gender so they wouldn’t offend Pat by using the wrong pronouns. During a GLAAD [Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation] panel at the Television Critics Association in 2017, the creator of Transparent (a transgender drama produced by Amazon Studios) blasted It’s Pat saying it was an “awful piece of anti-trans propaganda.”680
Actress Julia Sweeney who played Pat responded, “None of the jokes were made at Pat’s expense, but I can see how today that what we did is so next-door to laughing at the person for not having clear gender characteristics. So, I can see how it might seem like you’re laughing at the person.”681 She also acknowledged that the skit probably wouldn’t be allowed on network TV today because, “It seems so completely inappropriate at this point in time.”682
How much longer until Jim Carrey’s old In Living Color sketches of him being a “female body builder” are censored from the Internet for being “transphobic” as well? Or Martin Lawrence’s skits of him playing the character, Sheneneh? Or Tyler Perry’s movies for him playing female characters for comedic effect? The slippery slope of censorship will likely continue, and careers will be derailed or destroyed when someone dares to poke fun at the now-forbidden topic.
In 2016, ESPN analyst and former All-Star pitcher Curt Schilling was fired after he posted a “transphobic” meme on his personal Facebook page denouncing a recently proposed law aimed at allowing anyone to use any bathroom or locker room they wanted to if they self-identified as that gender.683
The meme showed a hideous looking transgender “woman” with the caption “Let him in to the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die.” ESPN released a statement saying they are an “inclusive company” and that, “Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated.”684
YouTube often removes videos and issues community guideline strikes on channels that make fun of other gender-bending YouTubers.685 You can’t call them crazy, you can’t criticize them, and you can’t even laugh at them now without risking career-ending repercussions.
Transgender Trojan Horse
At first “transgender rights” were just about the “bathroom bill” and the Left wanting anyone to be able to use whatever bathroom they wanted, no matter what their biological sex is, but this was just a trojan horse so they could unleash their actual plan. It was never just about bathrooms, it’s about locker rooms and showers at schools and gyms.
The “bathroom” angle was a straw man because bathrooms are generally private with stalls or allow just one person in the room at a time, but in school showers and locker rooms, naked transgender people walk around right next to everyone else, and if there is no objective standard for what actually makes someone “transgender” or “gender questioning” then what’s to stop anyone from just deciding one day they want to use the women’s showers at their local gym? Nothing. And that’s horrifying.
Since transgenders tend to be mentally unstable, do we really want to allow men who think they’re a woman, or who could just say that they think they’re a woman — to be able to walk into women’s locker rooms at will?
