OPUS GENERIS is a suite of five classical poems which give a dialectical, forward-moving, depersonalized picture of the gender-identity formation process in terms of traditional classical myth. The aim was to do justice to both the telos of heterosexual marriage and child-rearing, as affirmed by the Judaeo-Christian moral tradition, AND the zigs and zags of the identity formation process, as covered in classical poetry, and all in the context of a night's poetic entertainment in two languages and various meters.
Catullus, Cybele and Attis (Latin, galliambics, failure to escape from the mother)
Pindar, Olympian #1 (Greek, epinician, powerful male figure pulls boy away)
Odyssey Book II (Greek, hexameters, boy tries to play the man independently and fails)
Ovid, Daphne & Apollo (Latin, hexameters, boy turns from playing with boys to pursuing a girl)
The aim is not to court controversy as being pro or anti trans, or pro or anti pedophilia. The aim is to provide material that is well balanced enough to provoke interesting and necessary discussion.

Before OPUS GENERIS, study of sexuality was balkanized into Christians obsessed with marriage and child-rearing as the one true sexual orientation, and fetish-based people obsessed with every other kind of sexual outlet, all of which is regarded by Christians as sexual DISorientation. Having studied OPUS GENERIS, people began to see the gender-identity formation process as a dialectic in which one sexual focus gave way to the next.
Matthew Barney's five-part opus THE CREMASTER CYCLE was a major inspiration for OPUS GENERIS, as was Genesis's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The way Christian "conversion therapy" programs failed to cover the necessary territory was a very powerful motivator.

The commonest pattern is a mother obtaining narcissistic gratification by parading her son around in a dress, while the father stands by helplessly as his son is rail-roaded into a permanent trans identity. The term arose in late 2020 as a response to the narratives presented in HBO's Transhood and the Save James case in Texas.

If I had a nickel for every time someone said “they” don’t castrate or mutilate minors, I’d have enough money to save all the children in the world. “They” do indeed harm children — ask Anne’s own expert witnesses!
It’s an unfortunate trend, mostly foisted upon young children by mothers. It’s so common as a matter of fact, there’s a term for parents who reject their child in favor of bringing attention to themself: Transhausen, or Trannyhausen, Syndrome by Proxy. (A play on Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy). Trannyhausen-by-Proxy, for short.

"NO PEDOS ON OUR STREETS!" it's clear that they're EITHER federal agents tasked with Harvesting the Hate, and letting a thousand Anti-Pedo flowers bloom, OR organic and sincere community-based activists, who just happen to find public discussion of pedophilia exciting.
Calling them #Fedophiles is annoying either way.
If they're FEDS, they're annoyed at being exposed as such.
If they're grassroots activists, they're annoyed at being described as government toys, NPC's.

When the #Fedophiles showed up in Watertown, WI, the witty response would have been to counter-chat at them:
#FEDOPHILES!
Blood blood blood?
More like ERECTION ERECTION ERECTION!
Harvest the Hate!

Hatin' on PEDOS makes the COUNT-TREE GREAT!
. . . this done in a heavily ironic, heartily affectionate tone, to reflect the understanding that the first step in coming out as a boy-lover, is processing the internal pedo-phobia by doing a lot of external #pedotoileting.

Get the Fedophile mug.This is literally true. In law, kids are legally "infans," that is, they have no voice, and the idea that "the kid said he wanted it!" is no excuse for sex-crimes against children.
Riffing on Billboard Chris's "Kids can not consent to Puberty Blockers,"
and the San Francisco choir singing "We're coming for your children! / We'll convert your children." (#WCYC)
A slogan meant to position the sloganeer against #Pedoschwing2025.
Unless it's being used ironically, in which cases it's meant to accelerate #Pedoschwing2025, under the idea that ALL discussion of pedophilia moves towards normalizing it.
But the presence of the ironic dimension doesn't at all undercut the validity of the plain and simple surface meaning;
on the surface, it's a sentiment that can't be argued with.
To be understood as operating in the same ironic poly-valent space as the Heideggerian term:
#LGBTQΠπ (which term to be written sous-rature, crossed out --- this browser isn't showing that.)
This term COMPLETES the mega-acronym, in accordance with Dr. James Cantor's famous 2018 "include the P!" tweet, but wittier, because Greek Π/π suggests (celibate) Greek MAN/boy relationships, as practiced by those who've read the Phaedros.
It also rejects/denies/opposes paederasty;
It also looks forward to a process of NORMAL male identity formation, which incorporates ( but is not bogged down in) the moments of Great Mother (Trans) obsession and Great Father (homosexual) obsession.

In the face of over-blown propaganda from both sides, like PRO-TRANS! CUT THE KIDS' BALLS OFF! and KILL THE PEDOS! sometimes it's nice to be out there picketing with a sign saying something nice and relaxing, that everyone can agree with.
<<heavily ironic chilled-out San Diego sigh.>>
So there I am in Balboa Park, in the middle of July, PRIDE 2023 going on around me, wearing a sandwich board saying #KidscannotconsenttoPedophilia" on one side and #LGBTQΠπ (crossed out!) on the other.

The Chicago Hot Dog consists of a man receiving oral sex while standing with his back to a pillar of the L-train, and timing his orgasm to coincide with a train going past overhead, thunderously. The skill required to do this -- and sexual pay-off -- are enormous.

Kevin Spacey was roundly condemned for pedo-backing for coming out as "a gay man," (29 Oct 17) in the context of accusations of child abuse. Now that an authority like Dr. James Cantor is pedo-backing as well, we'll see if there's any traction in that strategy.

Following the tradition of cognitive therapy, and in order to POUNCE ON, IDENTIFY and CONTROL those runaway moments by using irony and satire, the following vocabulary item was created and offered to the community by "Didaskalos."

A) reading & posting at BoyChat; cuz the background is baby-boy BLUE, gettit?
B) projecting needs & dreams & whatnot onto some boy.

E.g., "Former poster Dr. Adam Selene has not been Watching Blue Cartoons with us for a while."
But I gotta stop working on anagrams; I just "heard" a boy three blocks down crying because he had to go to bed. I better put on my BLUE CARTOON cape, swing into action, and FIX THAT BOY-DRAMA!!!!
Or:
The new 16-year old lifeguard dudes at the pool this summer are pretty handsome, I'm glad to say. Was that one with the earrings coming on to me, or am I just Watching Blue Cartoons again?
