New in PJ Media:
The Globe Theatre in London, a reconstruction of the Elizabethan playhouse where Shakespeare’s plays were first presented, on Wednesday tweeted and then hastily deleted, in the face of a barrage of derision and ridicule, a video clip from its current production of the trans propaganda play I, Joan, which gives us a counterfactual, transgender Joan of Arc: “Trans people are sacred. We are the divine.” This is off-the-charts narcissism, and it’s something more than that as well. Remember the words of the serpent to Eve in the Garden of Eden, as he tempted her to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). And here we are.
The Globe deleted the tweet, but it did not delete a YouTube clip of the I, Joan prologue, also posted on Wednesday, from which the claim of divinity for trans people was taken. The play opens with actress Isobel Thom (who specifies her pronouns as “they/them” on her Twitter page; you can call her Legion, for they are many) saying: “Trans people are sacred. We are the divine. We are practicing our divinity by expressing authenticity. By enjoying our multiplicity. Elevating our humanity, finding the unity hidden inside community, remembering our collective connectivity fuels courageous creativity, unlocking the blessed spirituality that we all seek. Yeah, this s**t’s about to get spiritual.”
Well, yeah, it is. But not in a positive way. PJM’s Megan Fox has clued me in to the fact that Baphomet, a very common Satanic symbol, is both male and female. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, God is love, life, truth, and fruitfulness, and to oppose him is to choose hatred, death, lies, and destruction. There are numerous lies in the I, Joan prologue, notably the idea that trans people, whose bodies are mutilated and made into facsimiles of something they are not and never can be, are “expressing authenticity.” The bit about “elevating our humanity” once again recalls the hubris of Satan’s promise to Eve, “You will be like God.” And the “multiplicity” business suggests multiple personalities, which up until quite recently was considered a symptom of insanity.
Another falsehood is contained in Isobel Thom’s tweet that Joan of Arc “holds such a special significance to women / afab people in amongst [sic] many others. myself included.” “Afab” turns out to mean “assigned female/male at birth,” which apparently means that she is a woman who now suspects that she is a man, or a man who thinks he is a woman, and furthers the destructive lie that one’s gender is “assigned” at birth in some random and arbitrary process, rather than being blazingly obvious to anyone who isn’t blind.
There is more. Read the rest here.
