Every so often, this delusional man goes viral for his TikTok videos, where he films himself scolding restaurant workers who "misgender" him.
There's no doubting that the individual in the video suffers from a mental health issue.
Still, I disagree with the original poster of the TikTok video ("Joey Salads") because I don't think the dangerous and destructive trend towards gender-bending and self-misrepresentation is itself a "crisis." It's a reality, but it is no more a "crisis" than the myriad of other mental health conditions that affect our population. More people suffer from anxiety, depression, anorexia, self-harm, and other disorders than transgenderism, after all.
The real crisis is the cultural paralysis we all have been conditioned to feel in responding to transgenderism.
It's the fact that no one is shamed for telling a person committing self-harm that they need help.
No one fears losing their job if they tell an anorexic person they are not fat.
No one is scared to talk honestly and forthrightly with a friend or acquaintance in a depressive state.
But watch the video above one more time and notice apologetic responses from those addressing reality for what it is.
When an entire culture is conditioned to feel shame for calling an obvious man, "sir," there's your crisis.
Maybe, all other things being equal, it could be argued that there's no real harm done in letting a person live in their own self-delusion. But all other things aren't equal. Besides the spiraling danger the transgender person's own confusion puts them in, other innocent people are negatively affected by our cultural paralysis.
A recent story from the New York Post documents yet another female athlete severely injured after being forced to compete against a biological male posing as female.
The innocent victim, high school volleyball player Payton McNabb, details in her story that none of her teammates were comfortable playing against a dominant male, but felt bullied into silence by a culture embracing the madness.
'I didn't know one person who agreed with [a transgender athlete competing against us] on my team,' McNabb admitted, 'but we didn't know what to do.'
In the fateful competition, the male posing as a female spiked a ball directly into McNabb's head, knocking her to the floor unconscious. She laid there for nearly 30 seconds before medical personnel rushed the concussed young woman off the court with two black eyes and a potentially fatal neck injury. McNabb suffered a brain bleed, partial paralysis, the loss of peripheral vision, memory loss, confusion, and severe headaches. Doctors diagnosed her with a traumatic brain injury.
Accidents happen in sports, but this one happened because of the culture's bizarre compulsion to foster and coddle a mental illness against all common sense and rationality.
As McNabb observed herself: "It was 100% avoidable, if only my rights as a female athlete had been more important than a man's feelings."
This was the impetus behind Senator Ted Cruz's recent questions directed to the flummoxed president of the Human Rights Campaign Kelley Robinson:
That's such a bad look - not just for Ms. Robinson, but for a society whose current rules and regulations side with her indefensible position that is literally, physically harming and abusing females.
Yet Cruz's colleague, Democrat Dick Durbin continues championing the destructive lunacy by downplaying its importance:
On the one hand, it would seem Durbin undermines his own argument by proving we are rewriting rules for millions of citizens based on the preferences of an absurdly small number of disturbed individuals. On the other hand, you have to wonder if Durbin would have the courage to speak those words into the face of a brain damaged Payton McNabb.
Let's start improving women's sports by protecting the females who play them, Mr. Durbin.
