Tea at Trianon: The Truth About Queer Theory And Transgenderism

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

The Truth About Queer Theory And Transgenderism

From The Georgia Record:

My understanding in Easton was the question of whether to authorize purchasing of “progress pride” flags to display around town and then that had mutated into an allegation of a hate bias allegation filed by a trans activist against an elected official, which was addressed by the Sheriff in a letter to the President of the Town Council, who has now instructed the town lawyer to contact the Baltimore Sun for a correction of the story it was fed.

Nevertheless, the situation has now morphed into a NAACP local chapter head threatening the Town Council President publicly instead of focusing on the potential harm against children by pushing transgenderism. This tactic – of intimidation and aggression – I see all the time by angry transgender activists who don’t get their way. Time and again, trans activists have quashed or crushed dissent and refused to allow rational conversation to occur. Aside from whether spending money for flags makes sense, a bigger question ought to be the “why” behind activists’ emotional insistence on always getting their way. (Read more.)
