gay campground accused of being transphobic...

would this qualify as weird news that could only happen in America...

A Gay campground that limits its membership to men only is being accused of being "transphobic" because it does not allow "transgender men", i.e. biological women who identify as men.

Is this an extreme example of political correctness run amok...or am I just a grumpy old man out of touch with the real world.

If I claim I were a woman, the claim apparently qualifies me for being given access to the ladies' locker, yes?

The pendulum swings back and forth, after swinging to the side of homo sapiens, it now has swung to the side of homo idioticus. It will not stay there, but I will not live long enough to see it swinging out of there.

Meanwhile more and more states tend to make it part of their constitution that everybody can arbitrarily define his gender by his own imagination and fantasy alone. Medical facts and genetics do not play a role anymore, demanding them to be considered as the deciding factor earns you the accusation to discriminating, to be x-y-z-phobic, and a criminal who must be sanctioned.Its apof course a frontal assalt on the basic principels of science and ratio, but that is uninteresting, it seems.

There are "pedagogues" who demand that schools should encourage children and teenagers to repeatedly "switch" the gender and make experiences.

Welcome in the new era of this planet, the idiotocene. I do not know how that can be further escalated, but I am certain homo idioticus will find more stupid ways to get it done.
