OPUS GENERIS

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.

Pink Mist

On the YT pod-cast "Gender: A Wider Lens" #51, "Clearing of the Pink Mist," Debbie Hayton introduces the term PINK MIST as a way of explaining what was going through "her" mind when her formerly male self decided to sign up for MTF gender-surgery. In summary: "I wasn't thinking. I was in a pink mist."

"Debbie Hayton has a lot of balls to come out and declare that her brain was off-line the day she signed up for girl-surgery. She just comes out and admits, "I wasn't thinking, I was in a PINK MIST." I just wish other pre-op trans-people would have the same insight into their trans-think as a temporary, delusional state of mind, and maybe talk to some clearer heads before making the big decision to un-gender themselves."

#CMSI

As society becomes more open to discussing trans-issues, more and more people are observing an miasmic atmosphere of compulsive murder-suicide ideation associated with trans folks, a constant yelling about "Trans Genocide! and Trans Suicide!" which doesn't seem to be borne out by statistics.
On the other hand, the hypothesis of trans presentation as reflecting intra-psychic drama, the stronger girl self demanding that the weaker boy-self be killed, would go a long way to explaining the atmosphere of guilt ("I have MYSELF killed the boy that I am!" and paranoia "SOMEONE is trying to kill that boyself that I am!" and the unfortunate external realizations of that intra-psychic drama, when that murder-suicide drama is not understood, expressed, and resolved.

For a case-study, see Larry King / Brandon McInerney. This was a #CMSI scenario played out to the bitter end.
King refused to leave Brandon McInerney alone, and Brandon McInernerney was absolutely unable to tolerate the daily public sexual humiliation inflicted upon him by Larry King.

Blue Cartoons

Context: not all pedophiles ("boy-lovers") just let their fantasies run away with them. Some are working to try to get beyond their hang-ups and help others to as well. 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."

Official motto of the website:

BoyChat: You are not alone.

Anagrams:

Ah, cry; a looney-tune taboo.

Ahoy! Let no cub too near ya.

Yeah, no blue cartoon a toy.

So, "Watching Blue Cartoons" is my new pet phrase for both:

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?

#PedoSchwing2025

After decisive losses in the battles over Gay Marriage and Trans Rights, there has recently (from about 2020) been a gloomy awareness among conservatives that "in about five years" they will have also lost the battle against pedophilia. The first clear sign of this will be a disallowing of anti-pedo rhetoric -- as the last acceptable form of "hate-speech" -- on all respectable social platforms, particularly if it's couched in Biblical terms. . Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Blair White, and many other conservative commenters see clearly that "the battle to prevent the battle" was decisively lost during the period between Cantor's INCLUDE THE P tweet (12/8/18) and the flaccid outrage over Dr. Allyn Walker's book, A Long, Dark Shadow (11/21-1/22). In the early years of the 2020's, the battle; in 2025 or so, a crisis and turning-point I call #pedoschwing2025; in the later years of the decade, boys will be as keen to appear on talk-shows with their "pedagogues" as boys are now to talk about their "drag families." Bougie families will DEMAND that their sons have high-powered tutors with social connections and SAT-acing prowess, just like Timothy Chalamet and Army Hammer in Call me by your name, only with Timothy being in middle-school. Indeed the whole coming decade might be characterized as the pedo-2020's, as the long-repressed, BLUE MIST powered, boy-loving forces emerge to do battle with the excesses of PINK MIST-driven trans-culture of the previous decade.

Wow, looks like the whole Daily Wire team (Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles) is 100% on-message with #PedoSchwing2025. That refrain of "In about five years . . . " echos throughout their broadcasts, every time they talk about 2nd grade boys in dresses, Drag Queen Story Hour, Save James, I am Jazz, Walsh's anti-trans satirical children's book Johnny the Walrus, etc. Not even Boy-Lovers themselves are that optimistic! Blair White, now, I can never tell whether she's trying to stoke the anti-pedo rage with her #PedoSchwing2025 posts, or let it burn itself out.

pedo-backing

piggy-backing on the acceptance won by LGBT people, under the rubric of "consenting adults," to push for acceptance for pedophilia TOO. (Cf. PERGY, Pedophile-Exclusionary Regular GaY.)

Dr. James Cantor, Twitter, December 8, 2018
"Speaking as a gay men, I believe we SHOULD include the P. To do otherwise is to betray the principles that give us our rights."

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.
