Thus The New York Times today. “A young officer’s experience shows how far the agency has come in its acceptance of transgender workers,” elaborates the newspaper. No prize for guessing whether or not I read the article with this heartwrenching title and byline. As far as I am concerned, it is yet another proof of the demise of the so-called western civilization. It is time for all of us to start waving to each other and wailing in unison: “Goodbye, goodbye!” The end of the world as we know it is nigh. But I cannot suppress a smirk in the tumult. The survivors will forget transgender and all the other crap of this pitiful ilk in just a few generations. The same holds for the Central Intelligence Agency, too. Phew!
