SB163: The Most Explosive Bill of 2023 Nevada Legislature, Part I

(Chuck Muth) – Liberal transgender agitators don’t like being called trannies. Too bad. Not sad. Suck it up, buttercups.

White conservatives don’t like being called “racists.”  But that doesn’t stop the race-hustlers and race-baiters on the left from labeling them as such with no proof other than the pigmentation of their skin or being registered a Republican.

And if grandmothers don’t get their knickers in a knot over being called “grannies,” what’s your beef?

But in the interest of civil discourse, I won’t call these tranny radicals “trannies” for the rest of this column.  Instead, I’ll refer to them as “Lola’s,” in honor of the progressive 1970 song by the Kinks…

“Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola

“Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola

“Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola”

There are two genders – men and women.  That’s what’s called “science.”

If you want to “identify” as a woman, have at it.  I’m a live-and-let-live kind of guy.

But when you constantly get in my face and demand that I call you by your “preferred pronoun” and try to force me to accept whacking off your ding-dong or having one surgically implanted as “normal,” you’re not living by the same live-and-let-live standard.

Next you’ll want me to accept that you “identify” as a toy poodle and demand that having you surgically outfitted with a tail be considered normal.  Sorry, but that dog won’t hunt.

And stop “grooming” our kids!

Don’t tell me you’re not just because it’s not “officially” being taught in class.  The indoctrination is happening throughout society, especially by corporations such as Bud Light and Target where kids are being influenced to accept this as “normal.”

I can accept it.  And live with it.  But it’s not “normal.”

Years ago, as a teen, my eldest daughter – who’s homeschooled – hit me with this “they” thing rather than “he” or “she.”  And that was well before this “Lola” thing became a national sensation.

She thought it was a perfectly acceptable accommodation.  I thought it was stupid.  Because…well, it is.  We agreed to disagree.

If I decide to call a Lola by their preferred pronoun – even if grammatically and scientifically incorrect – just to be polite, fine.  But to DEMAND that I MUST call you by a pronoun that you ain’t, well, bite me.

And stop making up word-salad terms and phrases to hide what’s really going on.

Slicing off your tally-whacker and getting fitted for a set of headlights that would make Rachel Welch envious is not “medically necessary.”

And if “gender dysphoria” is a real thing medically, so is “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

And stop telling me you’re “distressed” with the gender you were “assigned” at birth.

You weren’t “assigned” a gender. You were born either a boy or a girl.  If you come out of the womb with a wee-wee, you’re a boy.  If not, you’re a girl.

But, hey, don’t take the doctor’s word for this despite him or her (not “them”) being medical professionals.  Even liberal Hollywood said so.

Remember the little kid, Joseph, in the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie “Kindergarten Cop” who declared, without a medical degree, that “boys have a penis, and girls have a vagina.”

Case closed.  Hollywood has spoken.

And while I understand that “gender affirming treatments” sounds nicer than “sex change,” the truth is you’re getting a sex change operation, not a gender transition operation.

And you’re not going to force, browbeat, bully, intimate, nag, threaten, or coerce me to say otherwise.

Sonny and Cher’s kid, Chastity Bono, was born a girl.  She wasn’t “assigned” that gender. That’s how she was born.  Later she decided she wanted to go through the rest of her life as a “man” and had the sex-change operation.

Fine. Live and let live.

And if I ran into the new-and-improved “Chaz” Bono at a cocktail (how long before THAT word becomes politically incorrect?) reception, I’m sure we’d have a polite, cordial conservation about the weather or his famous parents without his sex change ever coming up, let alone me calling him a “tranny.”

Ditto the man, the myth, the legend, Bruce Jenner.  But at least the new-and-improved “Caitlyn” Jenner gets it, and I’d actually enjoy sitting down and having a beer with her.

But not Bud Light!

Caitlyn incurred the Wrath of the Lolas last October when he defended girls on a girls’ volleyball team at a Vermont high school who complained about a “transgender teammate” sharing their locker room and were upbraided for it.

“We cannot have biological boys with penises changing next to our daughters in locker rooms, and then have our daughters scolded by the school,” Caitlyn tweeted. “This is so backwards. Shame on Vermont!”

She continued: “I am an American that loves my country and hates to see it going down the tubes to these radical leftists!”

To which one enraged Lola, tweeting under the pseudonym “Plastic Martyr,” responded in a hissy fit…

“Caitlyn Jenner you are an embarrassment to this beautiful & courageous community, your well manicured, privileged hand is stabbing us in the back every time you try to seduce the very people who are trying to erase us.  You’re a traitor.”

And THAT’S the real problem here.

Boys using the girls’ locker room or bathroom is a legitimate issue for public discussion.  And Caitlyn’s opinion is a legitimate position to take.  That doesn’t mean anyone’s trying to “erase” anyone or that she’s a “traitor.”

Using this issue to erase free speech and diversity of opinion is a toxic danger.  It’s un-American.  Which makes Plastic Martyr, not Caitlyn Jenner, the real traitor.

All of which leads me to SB163 – the most controversial bill of the 2023 session of the Nevada Legislature.

Unlike most who are screaming “child mutilation” – you know who you are Sigal Chattah – I’ve now actually read the bill and have inquired as to the reasons it was signed into law.

And I’ll get to that in Part II.  But I wanted everyone to first know where I’m coming from on this issue overall.

And as always, the unsubscribe button can be found below if you don’t like my opinion.  I’ll try not to lose any sleep.

Speaking of Siggy Chattah

The prickly, thin-skinned, foul-mouthed Nevada Republican National Committeewoman hasn’t taken too kindly to me taking her to the woodshed for some the absolutely toxic things she’s written on Twitter (which I see even though she “blocked” me).

And to try to duck her deranged asininity, she’s claiming I’m being paid to “trash” her.

Not true.  I don’t need to be paid to expose her stupidity.  Because she’s gotta go or be muzzled before she does to GOP campaigns in 2024 what she did to her own campaign in 2022.

The same false accusation of being “paid” was made last November when I called for Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald to step down or for the Central Committee to recall him.

He didn’t and they didn’t.

So it is what it is.  I’m just going to keep doing the things I’m doing without them and have pretty much dropped it.  But Chattah’s another thing altogether.

She’s one of Nevada’s three party leaders who are members of the Republican National Committee.  So when she opens her big mouth and speaks – especially when she’s trashing Republican elected officials – it’s a reflection on the whole party.

Now, if the members of the Nevada GOP Central Committee want to vote on a motion to censure an elected official for some alleged transgression in office, that’s one thing.

But Chattah’s speaking on behalf of the party unilaterally, on her own.  In fact, it seems like SHE’S the party chairman these days rather than Chairman McDonald.

Chattah’s a Nevada laughingstock and a national embarrassment.  And if Chairman McDonald and/or the Central Committee don’t rein her in or run her out of town on a rail, they’re complicit by their silence.

I’ll let the party go its way and I’ll go mine…once they excise this political canker sore from the party’s leadership or they get her to shut up and raise money – which is the job she was elected to do (and I’m guessing is failing at).

FAMOUS LAST WORDS

“I have gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans.” – Caitlyn Jenner

“In the Bud Light case, and even in the Target case, they really tried to go so public with it that it just blew up. When you throw it in somebody’s face and you say, ‘You better go along with this,’ people react.” – Caitlyn Jenner

“That’s the most important thing you do in your life – raise children and try to do the best job as a parent and give your kids the best shot in life to go out there into the big, bad world.” – Caitlyn Jenner
