It’s not surprising that the young and middle-aged intellectuals of Spain and Italy openly mock gender theory. Diego Fusaro, Juan Manuel de la Prada, Santiago Alba Rico, Ana Iris Simon, Daniel Gascon – these authors range from far left, to centrist, to far right. And they all detest gender theory.
They are what I call the children of 2008. These are citizens of the countries that were hit very harshly during the Great Recession. The economic punishment they experienced opened their eyes to how useful gender theory is to those who want to rob people and subject them economically.
These thinkers of both Left and Right say the same thing: we are told that sex isn’t binary, family is oppressive, boys can become girls, and sexual incontinence is liberating because all this weakens us and turns us into convenient marks for the con men who come up with this garbage.
The difference between the Left and the Right among these thinkers is that the lefties concentrate on how profitable the lonely, medicalized Tinder fans with removable sex organs are for those who want to exploit them while the righties talk less about the financial exploitation of gender dupes than about their misery, loneliness, struggles with addiction, suicides, etc. The two sides complement each other beautifully, which is as it should be.

Autism = inability to read, comprehend, and properly comply with, social rules and signaling.
Woke= Mandatory social signaling at a Byzantine level of complexity, with the power of law behind it.
These things cannot co-exist, and regular autistic people are going to be the losers 100% of the time. This prospect has terrified me ever since the first wave of now-prosaic-seeming “political correctness” arrived on the scene. In a woke-controlled world, the two options for autistic people are: go trans or get arrested.

Like, this in itself is incomprehensible levels of complexity to me, and I’m very high-functioning. It’s OK to be a lesbian. “Lesbian” isn’t an insult anymore, is it? This child has a lesbian grandmother, whom she apparently likes. There is no possible way that noting this policewoman resembles her grandma was even meant as any kind of insult. But it’s “homophobic” because the police took offense. How is it not homophobic that the police think it’s insulting to be mistaken for a lesbian??
This is a completely typical autistic screwup. The child was being 100% literal. I remember doing a similar thing when I had college roommates. One of them brought her new boyfriend over. I was introduced and I said: “Oh, you’re the short one” (earlier, when talking about her band, the roommate had described the fellow as short. She still wanted to date him, so that clearly wasn’t a problem for her, nor was saying it out loud.) I am quite short myself, it has never bothered me and I do not take offense when people joke about it. It’s true. I’m short. It’s no big deal. My dad literally bought the album with the song “Short People” on it when I was little, and played it often, and we all learned all the words and thought it hilarious. So I said this thing, and the guy was offended– like, deeply hurt. And not only was the guy offended, but all my roommates were also offended by proxy on his behalf. It was only then that I realized that other people don’t consider “short” an objectively neutral trait. They think it’s a BAD thing and that means you have to pretend you don’t notice when someone is short (I thought it meant we had something in common!), and if you say anything about it, you’re being offensive. This sort of misunderstanding is so typical of autism that it may as well be a diagnostic criterion.
It is now illegal to be autistic in the UK– woke rights trump disability rights in the legal hierarchy. How long before that comes here?

Not “should be”; yet an astute observation.
“The devil always sends errors into the world in pairs–pairs of opposites. And he always encourages us to spend a lot of time thinking which is the worse. You see why, of course? He relies on your extra dislike of the one error to draw you gradually into the opposite one.”
C.S. Lewis writing in Mere Christianity.
I think you would very much enjoy two of his books: Studies in Words and The Abolition of Man. Both are likely available at archive.org.
