In which the pond is devined by a paranoid ancient mariness ... (well we wouldn't want to introduce notions of gender fluidity by talking of ancient mariners)

The pond apologises for repeating the content, but it was  just to get re-orientated ...

Hunk, Phwoar!, gender roles, get a load of that cut-ness, Phwoar!, etc etc, because the pond has an extremely unpleasant duty this Sunday, which is to probe the paranoid brain of the Devine ...

The Devine has for months been banging on about Safe Schools and the way it's a Marxist plot. Here's just a small sample ...

Masochists can explore their love of pain by googling for more ...

None were safe. When you're a paranoid with sociopathic, homophobic and TG phobic tendencies, you're inclined to swing wildly at anything and anyone within reach ...

Anyone available was dragged into the zealot fundamentalist, bullying cause ...

Orwellian, totalitarian, and all the rest of the glib denunciations you might expect from the Orwellian totalitarians at News Corp and the Daily Terror ...

By golly, breaking Godwin's Law is such fun ...

Never mind, the latest target of the Devine came last Wednesday when Cheltenham Girls'  High School, strangely having failed to change its name to Cheltenham Gender is a Construct School, copped a hammering from the Devine ...

The pond did its best to ignore it all - there's only so much attention should be paid to an Ancient Mariness yabbering and harassing wedding guests - but others tried to point out a few matters the Devine might have got wrong ...

None of it made the slightest impression on the Devine, because when a paranoid with sociopathic tendencies gets on a hobby horse, she's inclined to ride hard and fast, and may the devil get the hind most ...

And so she returned to it today ... in the usual way ...

Now it's remarkable how Orwellian keeps getting a pounding from a paranoid with sociopathic tendencies, but the pond doesn't blame the Devine, so much as the Daily and Sunday Terrorists, who don't just harbour her foam-flecked rants and rages but encourage her by making them front page features ...

Well we've established the style, so please allow the pond to revert to the Devine blog posting, because it's more compressed, and there we can discover the compleat Devine, which includes conspiracy theories of the first water.

After all, we've read how courageous it is for parents and teachers to anonymously defy the cover up ... as opposed to courageous parents and teachers who courageously identified themselves ... so there's sure to be other absurdities to relish ...

Well there's nothing like an official denial to get a paranoid with conspiracy theory tendencies going and so it was with the Devine ... because in the Devine world, Safe Schools is pure evil, of a Marxist kind. Which is where you might end up if you happened to have certain forms of homophobia, including an enormous phobia about TG folk.

Of course, it so happens that gender is fluid. Why it's fluid enough for Donald Trump to enter the Republican convention to the sounds of a bisexual singer who died of AIDS.

One of the big problems with understanding why epithets such as "poofter" and "queen" are flung around in school playgrounds, apart from their source in fundamentalist religions of the Catholic Devine kind, is the refusal of bigots to acknowledge their prejudices and the desire of bigots to be allowed to go on with their bullying and discrimination. This is dressed up in high faluting tones with talk of re-engineering, and "sexual orientation" and being shocked at gender fluidity, but gender has been fluid since ancient times, as a short reading of the wiki on bisexuality will demonstrate  ... and that's before we get on to talk about hermaphrodites and so on and so forth ...

But the Devine, acting on the instructions of goat and camel herders, will have none of this ... and so while deploring jihadists ends up conducting her own fundamentalist jihad.

Actually, can the pond can take that back. There are some who follow the goat and camel herder faiths who want to be generous and inclusive and non-discriminatory, and good on 'em.

Just not the Devine, and there's no point debating it or discussing it with her, but rather to offer ongoing sympathy for all those who once again have been Devined. You know the smell, you know the pungent odour ... splash it on and don't forget the ear lobes ...
