Among the election losers are men pretending to be men-pretending-to-be-women

Last week’s election had a lot of losers, including Democrats in general; Generals who are Democrats to whom President Trump promises to offer mandatory early retirement; the formerly mainstream media which is now reduced to a dried-up side-stream that collectively cannot match the rapidly roaring ratings of the clickbait tabloid called Fox News; childless cat ladies; and the Pelosi/Obama Axis of Evil.

And men pretending to be women. More precisely, it’s men pretending to be men-pretending-to-be-women. Let me explain.

Men have pretended to be women for as long as there’s been men and women. Heck, I confess that I once dressed up as a woman for Halloween back in my college days before it was even fashionable. It was fun and funny, though it didn’t give me my jollies. 

Other men apparently do get their jollies by pretending to be women, and they do so 365 days a year, or maybe just 300, or maybe just 11 or 12.

There’s a technical/scientific/medical name for such men. They’re properly called “men-pretending-to-be-women.”

I have no problem with men-pretending-to-be-women. It all seems pretty harmless to me, up to a point.

I’m even OK with them discretely using the women’s bathrooms. I’m told that, for practical reasons, women’s bathrooms have no urinals for the women to stand in front of as they do their No. 1 business. Instead, they have only stalls, like the ones in the men’s bathrooms for use when a man does No. 2 business, or when he just wants a little privacy.

That means there are two automatic constraints on men-pretending-to-be-women in the women’s bathrooms. One, they are not able to see the privates of real women. Two, they are not able to display to women the privates of themselves.

It’s true that men-pretending-to-be-women in the women’s bathrooms can see real women using the bathroom mirror to tidy their makeup. But that’s a regular scene outside the women’s bathrooms, too. You can hardly pass a mirror in public without seeing that sight.

I assume, without any specialized knowledge, that men-pretending-to-be-women have been using women’s bathrooms for millennia. Nobody objected, because nobody knew. Even now, nobody would object, because nobody would know.

But here’s what’s different now. They want you to know. Not just abstractly, but concretely and in each and every instance.

Their jollies apparently hinge on not just being men in the women’s bathroom, and not even just on being men-pretending-to-be-women in the women’s bathroom. It goes beyond that. It’s all about being men-pretending-to-be-women in the women’s bathroom, and the women in the bathroom knowing it.

The way for men-pretending-to-be-women to ensure that women in the women’s bathroom are aware that they are really men, is to make sure their costume is unconvincing. They don’t truly make themselves look like women – if they did, they’d fail to convey that they’re not. Instead, they make themselves look like men pretending to be women, so that the women know they’re not.

They’re motivated by the same motivations as a public exhibitionist.

Another way to express the point is that they’re men pretending – deliberately badly – to be men-pretending-to-be-women. That’s the formula that apparently produces their women’s bathroom jollies – and the discomfiture of the women in the bathroom, which is evidently part of their jollies.

Jollies are fine. There’s a reason they’re called jollies, after all. But invading the privacy or comfort of other people to get your jollies is not fine, even when – especially when – that invasion is part of the jollies.

And when the women’s bathroom in question is a girl’s bathroom in a schoolhouse, it’s especially not fine.

Similar emotions are at work in the men-pretending-to-be-women in women’s sports. The discomfort and invasion of privacy they inflict on real women – and the stealing of their medals – is part of their jolly gig. Reports are rampant that these men-pretending-to-be-women are not shy in the women’s locker rooms, for example.

To them, all of that – the stealing of medals, the invasion of privacy, and the discomfort they inflict on their female victims – is not an unfortunate side effect of their routine; it’s their prime objective.

Americans are fed up with this new phenomenon of men pretending to be men-pretending-to-be-women in women’s bathrooms and women’s sports. Last week’s election was consistent with that.

It remains to be seen whether Democrats will get the message. It’s quite possible that many of the far-left ones share the emotions of the men pretending to be men-pretending-to-be-women. Namely, they get a certain satisfaction in inflicting discomfort and embarrassment on ordinary American women.

My message to them is: OK, have your jollies. But don’t expect us to vote for you.
