1/ Sen. Wiener cuts a haunted, panicked figure, like a man who's seen the ghost of Gender Future, but unlike Scrooge, there's no hope of some act of redemption or contrition. This is a man who prefers his collateral human damage to have no tongue, so he moves like a malfunction.
2/ The bitter harvest of gender, a crop Senator Scott did so much to bring about, was never going to be an easy or pretty affair for him. The shape of things to come was always going to be the innocent complaining of their own shapelessness. Cut to fit in to the point they do not
3/ So often the Gendocrat class Weiner belongs to can write these people off, "let them eat puberty blockers", "only 1% ever complain" etc. But the flippant dismissals of aristocrats have a poor historical pedigree and now Scott faces his rhetorical and metaphorical guiloteen.
4/ Having positioned himself as some scion of gay male political activism Scott now faces a nemesis worthy of Shakespeare. A young, innocent gay man pointing out to him what was contemporaneously bloody obvious to us. For which Scott and pals pilloried and cancelled us.
5/ Sen. Weiner, you have been more than complicit in a barbaric and insidious form of gay conversion. A form that told young men not that the world should change to accept them as they are, but that they should be cut and drugged so fit in. This will be your political epitaph
6/ When all the dust on this one day settles, Sen Weiner, you will be a historical absurdity, a gay man who actively campaigned for an ideology that harmed gay men. No wonder you twitch and stroke your chin. No wonder you look like a hunted animal. I think you can feel a reckoning coming.
