Ethics Quote of the Month: Jill Foster in “The Telegraph”

“Far from being isolated incidents, the two attacks are just the latest mass shootings involving trans-identified perpetrators in recent years. And they will doubtless reignite speculation among Republican figures in the US that transgender treatment is making people more likely to carry out such attacks.”

—-Freelance journalist and long-time UK editor and life-style reporter Jill Foster in “Are cross-sex drugs driving trans shooters to kill?”

I love this quote! It’s a “bias makes you stupid” all-time classic. It’s a self-awareness void all-time classic! It’s a “My mind’s made up, don’t confuse me with facts” all-time classic! It’s a “Yoo’s Rationalization,” or “It isn’t what it is” all-time classic!

What a perfect example of the Left’s woke delusions and amazing ability to see only what it wants to see. I want to frame that quote. I want to put it on T-shirts and coffee mugs.

Never mind pondering whether trans individuals are mentally ill: what does it say about progressives who can read that statement and react by shaking their heads, tut-tutting, and thinking, “How true, how true. Those hateful Republicans, and conservatives of course, will definitely speculate that because a tiny sliver of the population has been disproportionately engaging in mass murder, there might be a reason related to the radical treatment we good and rational people call “gender affirming care. What’s the matter with those bigots?”

Funny, I have been wondering, since so many individuals of dubious gender identity have been killing people lately while the news media, in its coverage that emphasizes the only their favorite anti-gun angle, never mentions the possibility that there may be a link between trans murderers snapping and their…what can I call it? Malady? No, that’s pejorative. Condition? Confusion? Delusion? Medical abuse?…if I’m the only one whose Holmesian instincts detect a possible cause and effect.

Now, thanks to Jill’s incisive reportage, I realize that my politically incorrect thoughts are simply attributable to the fact that I would rather have an orangutan rip my face off and eat it than vote for a Democrat in November.

I’m gradually viewing Jill’s matter of fact statement that only U.S. Republicans are capable of processing reality as excellent reporting. Far from being the unethical, biased, incredibly stupid assertion it appeared to be at first reading, I realize this is a factual assertion. Democrats will deny even an unavoidable conclusion if it in any way undermines their favored world view. If it is an inconvenient fact, they will made sure their captive propagandists in the media bury it or deny it, or better still, demonize those who dare to utter such Wrongthink out loud.

Thanks, Jill! You’ve given us a lot not to think about.

  1. I read that quote and thought to myself “sounds like a right-winger – why would the left emphasise that these aren’t isolated interests?”

    So I looked the author up and that article is in the Telegraph, a UK newspaper which is widely held to be right-wing.

    Reading the article, the rest of it sounds pretty right-wing to me – Among other things there’s a quote from someone saying “so-called” [their words] gender-affirming care is “negligent”, and the author repeatedly misgenders trans individuals.

    Another article by the same author starts “As gender ideology infiltrates schools […]”

    I don’t think this is a left-wing author. I think she actually agrees with you that the left should be talking about this sort of thing instead of ignoring it.
