The Evil Some Men Do
Why?
What kind of mind dreams up a movement that mutilates children, rewrites biology, and calls the ashes progress?
This isn’t just ideology—it’s pathology.
Evil—and those who practice it—have been around for a while. Who they are, what they do, and where they do it is easy to compute. ‘When’ shows up in the headlines eventually. But ‘Why’ is the tough one.
The sudden appearance of “transgenderism,” “gender fluidity,” and the gruesome stories that followed baffled me—and, I suspect, most everyone who pays attention. Nothing so detrimental to an entire society spontaneously combusts. Who could be the prime motivator behind something so ghastly?
Much of the answer can be found in Hillsdale College’s “Imprimis” article, “Inside the Transgender Empire.” Author Christopher F. Rufo writes:
“In the late 1980s, a group of academics, including Judith Butler, Gayle Rubin, Sandy Stone, and Susan Stryker, established the disciplines of “queer theory” and “transgender studies.” These academics believed gender to be a “social construct” used to oppress racial and sexual minorities, and they denounced the traditional categories of man and woman as a false binary that was conceived to support the system of “heteronormativity”—i.e., the white, male, heterosexual power structure. This system, they argued, had to be ruthlessly deconstructed. And the best way to achieve this, they argued further, was to promote transgenderism. If men can become women, and women men, they believed, the natural structure of Creation could be toppled.”
While reactions like repulsive, outrageous, disgusting, abhorrent, megalomaniacal, psychopathic, narcissistic, and egomaniacal are understandable, Rufo’s otherwise excellent piece didn’t answer my perpetually burning question: Why?
Yes, four “academics” came up with “queer theory” and “transgender studies” because they carried a chip of resentment and hostility, making “heteronormativity” their unholy grail. While a game-winning Scrabble entry, where was that word before the Butler-Rubin-Stone-Stryker meet-up? Apparently, it didn’t even exist until 1991, when some Yale literary critic used it in a discussion of queer theory.
So what?
Rufo’s piece provides the twisted historical skullduggery that mainlined the movement straight into the circulatory system of public education, where it spread like COVID, just as destructive to American society, health care, business, government, and even the military.
But why?
In a 2008 speech, Susan Stryker described his work as “a secular sermon that unabashedly advocates embracing a disruptive and refigurative genderqueer or transgender power as a spiritual resource for social and environmental transformation.”
What does that even mean—beyond the fog of academic self-admiration? Aside from having done fairly well on his early vocab tests and subsequently achieving Olympic-level intellectual masturbation techniques, what value to society is there in any syllable of that screed?
Rufo continues:
“In Stryker’s best-known essay, “My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage,” he contends that the “transsexual body” is a “technological construction” that represents a war against Western society. “I am a transsexual, and therefore I am a monster,” Stryker writes. And this monster, he continues, is destined to channel its “rage and revenge” against the “naturalized heterosexual order”; against “‘traditional family values’”; and against the “hegemonic oppression” of nature itself.”
Sorry. Not sorry. This isn’t some profound revolutionary pronouncement of a budding academic genius. These are the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind.
But in one sense, it’s revealing. This movement is entirely political. The “health care” concerns spouted by its advocates produce the same steaming pile of bovine etymology perfunctorily dumped into the conversation whenever truth and motive need to be obscured—lest they be laughed all the way to the city dump.
But we still don’t know why. Why do otherwise functional, sentient human beings dedicate their talents—whatever they may be—to something so wantonly depraved and destructive? From what depths does such high-octane hate come? Why hasn’t anyone in a position of authority told the cheerleaders of this mental illness to pound sand?
Why do school systems and businesses still warmly embrace the Drag Queen? The Queer Day? Why casually dismiss the damage to adolescents with puberty blockers and, worst of all, the mutilation of children with sex reassignment surgery? Does the Hippocratic Oath have an exception for this?
And, incredulously, what about the parents who enthusiastically support these atrocities—even when intentionally inflicted on their own child?
Why?
Once you understand the level of mental illness that spawned all this—once you realize the knee-jerk alliance with politics required to force legal acceptance of the seriously abnormal—what’s left?
Money and power are the easy answers. Rufo’s piece records the direct link between money and political power that mandated the transgender agenda into Illinois public school curriculum—and beyond.
Still, this isn’t the ‘why’ I’ve been searching for. Maybe I’m using the wrong interrogatory.
Maybe the question is ‘Where’.
Where do these psychologically unstable persons come from? What is their history? What traumas and other horrors brought them to this place to perform their brand of evil?
Certainly, no one in their right mind could study the transgender movement with all its tentacles and conclude it’s normal, proper, advantageous, or logical for society. Its mission statement is to destroy humanity as we know it—and declare the ashes righteous. All because it suits their warped view, wrapped in big words, bandied about among the “elite” who unanimously agree it’s progressive and “for the greater good.”
Still, how could that be? Four academics armed with a mutual bias for queer theory can monkey-wrench an entire civilization?
There are 330 million people in America. No report, study, or poll has proven that a majority of those millions believe this is all a swell idea.
And maybe therein lies the answer: it’s in the math.
Among 330 million people, 1% are propagandized as being “the elite,” “best and brightest,” the celebrated Delphic Oracles the media runs to for advice and guidance. Age aside, they are the Elders of Our Tribe—or so they say.
Mathematically, then, 3 million of our fellow citizens have been unilaterally assigned (or assumed) the position of All-Wise, All-Knowing. The crème de la crème. The top 10 of whom include Bloomberg, Buffett, Gates, Zuckerberg, Musk, and Bezos. Their combined worth approaches $1 trillion. George Soros? A piker—#92 of the 100 richest with only $8.6 billion.
No one is perfect, even among the Elite. So there must be some pretty warped twatwaffles hanging around in this group. Considering the personalities above, do you see an abundance of normality? Benevolence? Kindliness? Charity?
Do you think a malevolent individual with unimaginable wealth might be positioned to put into effect the evil designs he wishes to impose on everyone else?
Look what George Soros has done at #92 with a paltry $8.6 billion. Stories abound about Bill Gates (#4, $134 billion). Did he conspire with Fauci on the COVID “plandemic”? Is he gobbling up thousands of acres of farmland, planning to eliminate beef for human consumption? And what about that phony butter?
Remember, Zuckerberg obediently followed FBI orders to censor conservative Americans and, allegedly, paid to manipulate the results of a presidential election.
Maybe we can accurately conclude that the Why of evil comes from mentally disturbed, wealthy, powerful people who—from whatever event that warped their emotional development—are determined to use their phenomenal resources to inflict their “visions” (nightmares to you and me) on the rest of us.
Naturally, their dystopian wonderland with all its new “privileges” will not be the world they live in. That would be just too plebeian.
Whether it’s a warped sexual agenda harming children and society, commercial intervention that distorts the free market, political manipulations that abridge freedom, liberty, and human rights, or any of the myriad attacks against our humanity, something evil this way comes – and keeps on coming.
It is inexorable unless we remain aware, prepared, and relentless in our resistance.
Because the perpetrators don’t rest.
And neither can we.

I accept that, beyond everything else, there is a war between good and evil. And the war is accelerating.
I spent a bit of time trying to determine the "Why" of wars and found that there is never a simply answer. Sure $$$ plays a roll every time, but so do a thousand other factors. Election cycles, stupidity, hubris, pride etc. etc. However, for any war to take place, you first need a confluence of interests that is large enough to gain traction and take off.
I suspect that this is much the same. Each individual has their own reason for going along, mental illness, money, power, weaponized empathy, fame, Social Clout, Sheep just being sheep, the desire to be morally "right" etc. etc. etc.
That's what makes this stuff hard to combat, there is no "master plan". It's not even planned at all is my guess. What happened was a confluence of interests pushed a whole bunch of people into supporting this abuse because, "it worked for them", Financially, socially, politically, etc..
Maybe the question to ask is "Why NOT" as apposed to Why? They see an advantage and ask themselves Why Not and since they have a motive to go along with it, there is no "Why not" that comes to mind.
They want to believe it's a good thing for children and society, not because it is good for children or society but because it's good for them personally. (I suspect some of this will end when doctors get sued into bankruptcy at which point it will no longer "work for them".)
I'd bet most of them are convinced it's good for the children primarily because they Want to be convinced. As I said, it "works for them".
If you really want to believe you are better than others, this "works". You are a bigot if you don't go along, so that's fantastic news for some people, who desire nothing more in life than to be reassured they are the good guys. If you are in the academic racket or the writing biz or politics etc. it's works for you to go along as well.
It probably happened now because the race hustling wasn't quite enough anymore, too many people had become color blind or at least acted color blind. They needed a new grift and new way to claim their moral superiority.
If you are unsure, there is plenty of peer pressure telling you that you are a hero to go along and bigot if you don't. Why the peer pressure? Because people love being self righteous assholes and they really want to believe they are right.
It's amazing, the lies humans tell themselves, whenever they want something badly enough.
