A Big Tech executive conspired with a top research university and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to spy on presidential candidate Donald Trump.
That, all on its own, is bad enough. But it is much worse that the spying continued into Trump’s term in office. It included the exploitation of data from the Executive Office of the President. That this could occur, and that it should go unpunished so long, should frighten everyone.
Joffe then enlisted researchers at a “U.S.-based university” (reportedly Georgia Tech) who were working on a “federal government cybersecurity research contract” (reported to be the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) that helped Joffe analyze the stolen data. Joffe and his researcher friends then produced a white paper, with Sussmann’s help, that made the (later debunked) allegation that Trump was involved in a nefarious relationship with “Russian Bank-1” (reported to be Russia’s Alfa Bank).
Sussmann then took this white paper to the FBI, allegedly claiming that he was not working for any client — he was only coming to the FBI as a concerned citizen. In reality, Sussmann had been billing both Joffe and the Clinton campaign for his work in writing and disseminating the white paper to the press. The goal of both Joffe and the Clinton campaign was to use the white paper to further the “narrative” that Trump had been compromised by Russia and, in turn, to use any official investigation he could initiate to legitimize the white paper.
As bad as the original indictment was, Durham filed a new motion Friday alleging that even after Trump was sworn into office, Joffe continued to collect data not only from Trump’s private properties but also from the EOP. Joffe’s firm, Neustar, had a contract with the EOP to provide DNS resolution services. Joffe then shared this data again with Sussmann, who this time took his “narrative” against Trump to “Agency-2” (reported to be the CIA).
The specific motion that Durham filed Friday is unusual, but it speaks again to the breadth of institutions tied into perpetrating and now covering up the theft of sensitive and private data and its attempted exploitation for partisan political purposes.
Durham asked the court to procure a waiver from Sussmann acknowledging that the firm now defending him, Latham & Watkins, has defended the Clinton campaign and the DNC in the past and therefore may have a conflict of interest between Sussmann’s interests and the interests of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Over seven pages, Durham details how intimately involved Latham & Watkins has been in representing other members of Joffe and Sussmann’s conspiracy.
While Sussmann’s alleged crimes are concerning by themselves, the public should be even more worried about the ease with which the power of elite institutions was so easily co-opted into this scheme. The people in decision-making roles at Big Tech, Big Law, higher education, and the Defense Department all allowed this nefarious activity to go unnoticed and unpunished until the Durham investigation brought it to light.
Where is Neustar’s review of its company’s failure to safeguard clients’ data? Where is Georgia Tech’s review of how its researchers were enlisted in this scam? Where is DARPA’s review of Georgia Tech’s contract?
The scariest part about the Sussmann conspiracy is not the depravity of the Clintons and their minions — that has been obvious for years. No, the scariest part is the hyperpolarization of the country’s most powerful elite institutions and their willingness to conspire together against democracy.
Big Tech, Big Law, higher education, defense contractors, the Democratic Party — the Durham indictment shows that the nation’s elites have no respect for democracy or the rule of law.
In the summer of 2020, Gretchen Whitmer praised not just Black Lives Matter but also the “spirit” of the “defund the police” movement. Two years later (and facing a nail-biter of a reelection campaign), the Michigan governor has changed her tune when it comes to the Canadian truckers conducting their Freedom Convoy. Whitmer called upon the growing demonstration, which is currently stalling transit between Michigan and its northern neighbor, to end the “unacceptable” protest.
Left-wing politicians and their agents in the media haven’t hidden their ever-shifting standards, drawing a false equivalency between the race riots of 2020 and the convoy up in Canada today, but beyond sheer hypocrisy, the two aren’t the same.
For starters, independent of how inadvisable disrupting traffic for any reason is, where is the property damage in Canada that we saw from Minneapolis to Manhattan two years ago? But more importantly, what is the point of either of these demonstrations? There is where the difference lies.
After George Floyd was horrifically murdered by officer Derek Chauvin, nearly 7 in 10 Americans believed that the killing of George Floyd was a sign of broader problems in the treatment of black people by police, including almost half of all Republicans. Tapped specifically by then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican Tim Scott had legislation ready to ban chokeholds and regulate no-knock warrants. Chauvin was ultimately and correctly convicted of murder, but a bipartisan bill in Congress was ready to prevent the sort of slips through the cracks that allowed Floyd’s death in the first place.
Yet Black Lives Matter rioters lit up Kenosha, Wisconsin, after the entirely justified police shooting of alleged rapist Jacob Blake the exact same way they did Floyd’s Minneapolis. The terms of the BLM riots weren’t unclear. They were nonexistent.
That doesn’t matter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is definitely not the illegitimate love child of Fidel Castro. The prime minister explicitly said that he participated in protests like BLM when he “supported the people expressing their concerns and their issues.” The truckers, who have a simple demand to end the second-class citizenship of unvaccinated Canadians, were accused by Trudeau of expressing “hateful rhetoric, violence towards fellow citizens, and a disrespect, not just of science.”
In Trudeau’s logic, truckers opposing vaccine mandates in a country that is nearly entirely vaccinated constitute “violence” and “disrespect” toward “the science.” But burning buildings down just for kicks? That’s just an expression of a valid concern! Got it?
A protest is only effective when the goal of the demonstrators is clear. The truckers have an obvious demand and are exercising their power to achieve it. BLM, on the other hand, had no specific demand. They wanted catharsis and chaos, and they squandered their opportunity for actual progress to do so. Say whatever you want about the truckers, but they’re using the power they have with as little force as possible to exact a sole, defensible goal. You may not endorse it, but it’s nowhere near as egregious as destroying a city for the thrill of it all.

By James Varney, RealClearInvestigations February 10, 2022
After months of delay, the Department of Homeland Security replied late last month to a Congressional demand for information about the number of illegal migrants the department has flown from border towns to communities around the country. In 2021, it said, 71,617 were dropped off in nearly 20 cities including locales as far from the Mexican border as Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia.
Todd Bensman: “The government knows. But they are being as opaque and ‘darkened-windows’ as they can be about the entire matter.”
Center for Immigration Studies
Immigration experts critical of the Biden administration’s permissive immigration policies believe those numbers are incomplete, especially regarding the most vulnerable migrants, those under 18, whom DHS classifies as “unaccompanied children.” The agency says some 40,000 of the total transported are such minors, but that number is only a fraction of the 147,000 “encounters” the agency reports having with unaccompanied migrant children at the southern border between January and October 2021.
Paramount among the questions raised by the transports is what happens to the unaccompanied children once they leave the airport? The major cities DHS lists, the experts say, are probably simply way stations rather than final destinations.
“Everyone wants to know where they’re going, but nobody knows,” said Todd Bensman, a national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank. “Well, somebody knows,” he adds. “The government knows. But they are being as opaque and ‘darkened-windows’ as they can be about the entire matter.”
The lack of information raises a host of questions regarding the health and welfare of the children, and more:
What security checks are being performed — and background checks to ensure these minors are going to safe homes? How can checks be conducted on family members in the U.S. illegally who wind up taking custody of the children (a problem highlighted in a 2019 study)?
What processes are in place to ensure that these children have enough to eat, are receiving any necessary medical care, or are enrolled in school?
What traumas or crimes have they suffered along the way, at the hands of human traffickers, for example, and how are the cases being handled? (Through a public records request, Judicial Watch last year obtained a list of 33 incidents of alleged sexual abuse in a one-month period in 2021.)
What pandemic precautions have been taken, beyond masks seen in some furtively taken images of the transportees, by an administration that professes to be aggressively dedicated to eradicating COVID-19? (Illegal immigrants dispersed on commercial flights in 2021 were not tested for covid, and agencies did not follow preventive procedures, according to preliminary findings of a DHS Inspector General’s report reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.)
Who is responsible for making sure the migrants, children in particular, check in with the government and show up for court immigration hearings?
The difficulty of getting answers from the Biden administration is frustrating many state and local officials who say that tracking the thousands of illegal immigrants apparently melting into their communities is a maddening endeavor.
Larry Keefe, adviser to Florida’s governor: It’s “a clandestine, covert, middle-of-the-night, special ops mission.”
Department of Justice
“The Biden administration is running a clandestine, covert, middle-of-the-night, special ops mission using the same tradecraft the military does in operations against foreign enemies,” said Larry Keefe, a senior policy adviser to Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. “We don’t know what’s going on because the states are not designed to mount intelligence-gathering operations against our own government.”
The situation is complicated by the layers of groups involved. After a gumbo of federal agencies – CBP, DHS, DHHS, ICE, ORR – the government largely relies on nonprofit contractors to handle unaccompanied minors. While those groups present a rosy picture on their websites, it is unclear how they can handle what has proved a massive increase.
In 2021, DHS shelters near the border and further inland took in 122,000 unaccompanied children, according to its figures, which shattered the previous record 69,000 in 2019. The unaccompanied children are but a portion of the illegal immigrants who flooded across the southern border in 2021. For the fiscal year ending last October, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 1.6 million “encounters” — an all-time record and four times the figure the previous year. Although the number of encounters does not equal the number of people who crossed, given that some are repeat offenders, the actual figures are even higher, because CBP does not release the number of “got-aways” it records.
Single minors: 2021 was a record year and the barely new year already surpasses all of 2020.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Neither Homeland Security nor Health and Human Services nor the Office of Refugee Resettlement would answer questions about the resettlement process from RealClearInvestigations.
But the huge increase in numbers means the organizations dealing with them are swamped. In many cases, responsibilities for placing unaccompanied children with families or sponsors are subcontracted through the Office of Refugee Resettlement, or ORR. In 2020, the most recent year for which figures were available, under the far more restrictive immigration policies of the Trump administration, taxpayers spent more than $1.5 billion among 42 various non-profit and religious groups that offer help with housing, educational, medical, legal and other services.
More than $1 billion of that 2020 total was paid to six groups. The major recipient, Southwest Key Programs, received $400 million and a global nonprofit called BCFS received at least $253.1 million, according to tracking of ORR contracts by Maya Pagni Barak, a professor of criminology and criminal studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
None of the six groups would answer questions from RealClearInvestigations, instead referring them back to federal agencies in the kind of loop that has bedeviled others seeking information.
Rosemary Jenks, NumbersUSA: “This is all being done under the cover of darkness.”
“This is all being done under the cover of darkness and no one really knows what is happening,” said Rosemary Jenks, director of government relations at NumbersUSA, a group that favors immigration limits. “Plus, there’s so much confusion over who has custody over which groups.”
The groups handling unaccompanied children have sites scattered across the U.S., according to their websites. Southwest Key, for example, says it runs such shelters in 18 states, while BCFS lists shelters in a dozen states, from California and New York, to Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee and elsewhere. A fact sheet from ICE notes that altogether there are sites for unaccompanied children in 22 states.
Regarding shelter conditions, the operators’ blanket silence beyond rosy website depictions is not a new development. In 2018, when the Trump administration’s border policies were under scrutiny, Southwest Key barred Democratic Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley from inspecting its Casa Padre facility in a former Walmart in Brownsville, Texas. At that time, Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi declared the system “barbaric.”
In an effort to shed some light on the situation in Florida, Gov. DeSantis issued an executive order in September that told state law enforcement and other officials to begin gathering information on the number of illegal immigrants federal agencies were bringing to Florida and where they wind up.
DeSantis took that step after accusing President Biden of abandoning any pretense of protecting the southern border.
Gov. Ron DeSantis: Opposing resettlements in Florida.

In the face of what Keefe and other Florida officials described as continued intransigence on the part of federal agencies flying and busing illegal immigrants into the Sunshine State, DeSantis has proposed a package of laws now pending before the legislature in Tallahassee that would codify the steps laid out in his executive order. The proposed measures would also “prohibit state and local agencies from doing business with any private entities that facilitate the resettlement of illegal aliens in the state of Florida from the southern border.”
Florida’s Department of Children and Families published an emergency rule in December that directly addresses the various non-profits and religious groups that contract with the federal government. The rule “prohibits the issuance or renewal of any license to provide services to UAC who seek to be resettled in Florida,” unless the state and the federal agencies can craft some “cooperative agreement.”
Keefe said the governor’s moves will also put a crimp in human smuggling. Because the children lack documentation to board international flights from Central American airports and others, someone is paying to have them brought from their country of origin to the U.S. border. These are often criminal organizations that are most likely paid by family members – with whom the children may be eventually reunited – or human trafficking syndicates posing as legitimate sponsors that might exploit them for nefarious purposes.
“We don’t have laws in place to investigate the federal government,” Keefe said. “We’re being kept in the dark by our own country on something that’s definitely contributing to human smuggling because this is about bringing their kids here. Somebody drops the kids off at the border and then HHS is handing off to taxpayers the cost of flying them to illegal immigrant parents.”
Doug Mastriano, Pennsylvania state senator: “There is something fishy going on with all of it.”
Senator Doug Mastriano
Pennsylvania lawmakers are facing a similar situation. Keystone state senators remain dissatisfied with answers they have sought on flights packed with immigrants from the southern border that landed in the middle of the night in Scranton and other Pennsylvania airfields.
In December, there were at least two so-called “ghost” flights into the Lehigh Valley, a tiny fraction of the more than 900 such domestic or “lateral” flights ICE’s air arm flew around the U.S. in 2021.
Republican State Sen. Doug Mastriano and others sought answers from Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and Attorney General Josh Shapiro, both Democrats. While Wolf said Scranton was simply a transit point, he offered no information on passengers that landed in the early morning darkness in Scranton. In a familiar refrain, the state lawmakers were told to direct their questions to the feds.
Record of a Lehigh Valley “ghost flight.”
Lou Barletta
Mastriano has now filed a series of FOIA requests of DHS and ICE, but he remains perplexed and angered at the reluctance of those involved in the system to provide clear answers.
“On two flights from El Paso to Scranton there were 120 passengers, many of which were minors,” Mastriano said. “Imagine that. I don’t know who pays for their schooling or the impact on our community, and there is something fishy going on with all of it.”
The scant information that has been provided is unlikely to offer a complete picture, Mastriano told RCI.
“I think these findings are just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “We need to further examine the total number of illegal immigrants being sent [here] by plane and bus. It’s not just minors they are sending to Pennsylvania, its adults, too.”
Over the weekend, Roger Goodell lamented the lack of black men hired as head coaches in the NFL. It caused him to send out a memo bemoaning the issue. Moreover, Goodell inexplicably stated “that racism and any form of discrimination is contrary to the NFL’s values” — as if this needed to be said, as if such things are not contrary to nearly everyone’s values.
But Goodell can be the change he wants to see in the league. He has the opportunity to make real change if he truly believes all of this social justice ‘equity’ stuff.
“We have made significant efforts to promote diversity and adopted numerous policies and programs which have produced positive change in many areas, however we must acknowledge that particularly with respect to head coach the results have been unacceptable,” Goodell said in the memo. I agree. So let’s start with Goodell.
Currently, 0% of NFL commissioners are black. Goodell can fix this. He should put his money (and all the millions he has made over the years) where his mouth is. He should announce his resignation and appoint a black man as his successor.
Goodell served 16 years in the role. He has made more money than any other NFL commissioner in history. He is the highest-paid commissioner of all the sports leagues in the country. He has helped the league expand. He can now cement his legacy by doing something much more meaningful than having “NO HATE” written on the sidelines. He can sacrifice his job so that a black man can have the highest position in the NFL.
This will not ever happen, of course. Goodell’s words were and are nothing more than virtue-signaling. There are no racist practices when it comes to hiring NFL coaches. No one is denied opportunity because of their skin color. Goodell is cowering to a race-obsessed, agenda-driven mob and implying that several good coaches should be fired just because they are white.
So, he will continue to cave and sacrifice other people’s opportunities — all the while protecting his own.
A5-year-old riding in her mother’s car. A Texas sheriff’s deputy on routine patrol. A Florida father who thought he was foster parenting a minor. A Mississippi woman pistol whipped as she talked on cell phone. Three people found burned to death in a car in Alabama.
All have one thing in common: they were victimized since President Joe Biden took office by immigrants who illegally crossed the border.
The rising tide of high-profile, gruesome crimes far from the U.S.-Mexico border is creating a potent political issue as control of Congress is up for grabs this November while leaving a trail of carnage and drug overdoses in America’s heartland.
“Every state is a border state. And that’s the truth,” said Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who joined Texas in suing to challenge some of Biden’s immigration policies they argue have left the border open to trafficking and criminals.
“It’s terrible for those border towns, because a lot of schools have gone on lockdown, because of the crime and illegal activity that comes across, but the drugs, the fentanyl, the human trafficking ends up in places like Kansas City, or in Wichita, or in Columbus, Ohio, all over the country,” Schmitt told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Monday.Missouri has seen a marked increase in the last year in deadly fentanyl trafficking and deaths, including the tragic deaths of seven residents in St. Louis on Monday from drugs laced with fentanyl typically made in China and trafficked across the border by Mexican cartels.
Fetanyl is more of a silent killer from the border, piling up bodies without blaring headlines. But in recent weeks a constant stream of breaking news reports has awakened the nation to the reality that the permissive border crossings and trafficking to the country’s interior under Biden has had deadly consequences far from the border.
A Florida father who believed he was taking in a 16-year-old migrant minor from Honduras was killed by the immigrant, who turned out to be much older and involved in crime. The case stunned the political world.
That senseless killing even brought grizzled law enforcement officers to tears. “A little 5-year-old beautiful baby was crushed to death,” the local sheriff lamented, noting if the driver had been kept in his “home country last Saturday night like he should have been, our 5-year-old beautiful little girl would have been alive.”
Law enforcement has both experienced the wave of migrant crime and suffered loss from it.
In Harris County, Texas, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador is charged with exiting his vehicle during a routine traffic stop and fatally shooting a sheriff’s deputy in the face last month. The suspect has a long history of crime in the United States despite illegally entering, officials said.
Federal officials also confirm that 14 illegal immigrants with known or suspected terrorist ties have been stopped at the border in Biden’s first year, raising the question of how many have snuck in undetected.
“It took 19 to perpetrate this horrible 9/11 attack, the worst terrorist attack in the history of the country — and they are just pouring across the border, pouring across,” Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) told Just the News on Monday, warning Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris bear full responsibility.
“Quite frankly, people are dying on their watch,” he said. “It is a dereliction of duty to do what they are doing. They are violating the Constitution … If this is not an invasion, I don’t know what is.”
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Just the News on Monday that the border is more than an immigration issue, it is a national security issue that is likely to result in a reckoning for Democrats in the next two elections. He added that America’s porous border is also shaking allies’ confidence in America’s commitment to security.
“If you’re not prepared to protect your own sovereignty, if you’re not prepared to defend your own borders, and make sure you know what’s coming in and out of your country, then I think the world can see that you’re not about to be on the global stage,” he said during an interview on the “Just the News” TV show on Real America’s Voice.
Some Republicans, like Sen. Ted Cruz, believe if their party takes control of Congress next year Biden could face impeachment for refusing to enforce border laws.
“I really believe that impeachment could be on the table,” Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) said. “And I would support that.”
Human trafficking, in particular, is creating victims in multiple spheres, from women and children trafficked into sex work to innocent victims driving the streets.
Last March, 13 migrants were killed when the SUV driven by their smuggler crashed into a tractor trailer in California, in one of the deadliest border crashes in American history. More recently, a 59-year-old mother and her 22-year old daughter were killed in Texas in December when their car was T-boned by a speeding vehicle trying to smuggle illegal aliens into the country. The horrific photos grabbed international headlines.
“What we’re seeing at the border is not just criminal, but it is immoral,” Gooden said. “The fact that our United States government is putting its own citizens behind those of other nations, and also encouraging human trafficking … is really a travesty.”
While impeachment and elections loom on the horizon as a possible solutions, law enforcement officials are focused right now on trying to stem the rise of crime in communities affected by illegal immigrants who have traveled far from the border, sometimes with the help of the Biden administration and their allies in the nonprofit world.
Several Republicans in Congress are sponsoring various pieces of legislation to stop the federal government and nonprofits from assisting aliens seeking to move to the interior of the country. Attorneys general in several states, like Missouri’s Schmitt, are going to the courts to compel the Biden administration to enforce existing immigration laws.
And while the violent, gruesome crimes are capturing headlines, con games and property crimes are also a concern.
In New York City, a 40-year-old illegal immigrant was arrested last month on charges she stole the identities of 100 people in the borough of Queens and filed for $1.9 million in fraudulent jobless benefits.
Advocates of illegal immigrants point to studies like one done recently by the National Academy of Sciences that found that illegal immigrants on average commit fewer crimes in America than legal immigrants or natural born citizens.
But that is little solace to victims who know their loved ones would be alive if an illegal immigrant hadn’t been allowed to cross the border or had been deported back to his or her country.
“By him not being deported, it’s like you telling me my daughter’s life didn’t mean anything,” said Rhonda Exum, a mother whose 19-year-old daughter was killed in Texas by an illegal immigrant in a DUI accident.
Exum told Fox News she regrets voting for Biden in 2020 after his Homeland Security Department refused to deport the man who is accused of killing her daughter.
Advocates for transgenderism make the ideology seem reasonable, but a close look at the ‘logic’ (illogic) of transgender philosophy reveals serious problems.
The so-called ‘wisdom’ of the world is rife with incoherencies. One of the more trendy and pernicious examples of our time is transgenderism. Like relativism, transgender philosophy looks compelling, maybe even commonsense on the surface to ‘some’. But when examined closely one discovers that just like socialism, it devours itself like the Ouroboros, that creepy ancient symbol of a snake devouring its own tail.
Consider that transgenderism, or at least one form of it, claims an individual’s identity is as male or female—that is, his understanding of himself—can be in conflict with the biological sex that he was conceived with. A biological male, so it’s argued, can have a female gender identity, and vice versa.
Here is where the snake begins to devour its tail. Consider a male who thinks his gender identity is female. He identifies with the female form because he thinks his gender identity is female. He may even seek to assimilate such a form via surgery and doctor-prescribed hormones.
But already that’s running into problems. This gent denies the connection between biological sexual forms and gender identity. That is to say, he thinks his biological maleness doesn’t indicate his gender identity. But at the same time, he’s seeking a connection between gender identity and biological sexual forms insofar as he identifies with and seeks to take on the female form to match his female gender identity.
What does this amount to? A contradiction: there’s no connection between biological sex and gender identity, and yet there is a connection at the same time and in the same respect.
Now, an advocate of transgenderism might counter, “Well, for some, it’s not the biological female form that the man might identify with, but rather the female form that’s socially constructed: the wearing of high heels, makeup, long hair, and a curvy figure.”
But the same logical problem arises. If the socially constructed male form (the wearing of flat shoes, short hair, robust figure, etc.) is not indicative of one’s gender identity, then the socially constructed female form would not be indicative of one’s gender identity either. And if that’s the case, then in principle, there is no way for the man to identify with the socially constructed female form because such a form isn’t connected to a female gender identity. So, in this scenario like the above, any connection would have to be denied between gender identity and socially constructed maleness or femaleness and affirm that same connection at the same time and in the same respect. That’s a contradiction, which can not logically be accepted. Period. End of story. Full stop.
There’s another way in which the transgender philosophy is logically incoherent: it ends up defining woman in terms of what it means to be a woman. To the question, “What is a woman?”, a transgenderist only can give one answer: “a person whose gender identity is female.” The answer can’t be a biological female because transgender philosophy separates gender identity from biological sex. Nor can the answer be female social stereotypes since gender identity is supposedly innate, and thus, it’s supposed to precede such stereotypes. Therefore, female gender identity is the only game in town when it comes to defining what a woman is.
Can you see the problem here? Let me help you out: it’s a vicious cycle! This view of woman defines the word in terms of woman, inserting what’s trying to be defined into the definition. It’s a recursive nightmare, again like our friend the Ouroboros.
Another problem emerges: to what does female gender identity refer? If it refers not to biological sex, or to societally enforced norms, or to the inner sense of self (lest we end in a vicious circle), then female gender identity seems to refer to nothing. As philosopher Robert P. George puts it, “there seems to be no ‘something’ for [the inner sense of gender identity] to be the sense of.” If female gender identity refers to nothing, then it’s unintelligible.
The only way out here is to say there’s no difference whatsoever between a male and female gender identity. But that would exclude many people who are accepted as members of the “trans” community, like the gent above. So maybe the transgender philosophy is not so inclusive after all.
It’s important to emphasize that the above critiques are aimed at the ideas or the ways of thinking that transgender philosophy embodies. They are not aimed at the individuals who may have legitimate confusion regarding their sexual identity. Hearts go out to those people and they are loved. And it’s precisely because of that love for them that this here exposes the logical incoherencies of the transgender philosophy.
Humans are made for truth. And that’s the only thing that will make us as humans truly happy!
