Answering The Big Questions Before Breakfast
By Mitch Berg
Back in college, I did a little acting.
The highlight? I played Henry II i “The Lion in Winter”. And I had a blast.
One part of the role involved using makeup to turn 20 year old Mitch into 55 year old Hank Deuce. And since this was a small college theater, at a school that didn’t even offer a drama degre, there weren’t a whole lot of extra people playing “Makeup Girl”.
More than that, the professor, the late Patricia Lavin, was a formidable woman – she’d been the first female theatrical producer in LA back in the fifties and sixties, and had a long list of theatrical and film credits (she had done makeup work on the original “Planet of the Apes”, for one example) – who made sure that we learned how to do the nuts and bolts of theater.
Including makeup.
Which meant I, the very adolescent-macho Mitch, had to learn how to do his own makeup.
And looking at the photos of 20 year old Mitch playing 55 year old Hank II, I actually looked a fair bit like I do today (albeit with a lot more hair).
I thought about that when I saw this “comedian” talking about the Rep. McBride crisis:
So that’s what a woman is! Someone who can do makeup!
By that definition…
…well, do I even need to finish the sentence?

Dana Goldberg?
Who is this person, I asked myself.
So I went to the fount of all knowledge that is good and true, Wikipedia. Here are its first two sentences.
Now I that know Dana is a gay comedian who is gay and needs help applying make-up, I can confidently go about my day.

I wonder if Dana can out #MeToo Intersectional Points Rep. Nancy Mace?
Is Dana Goldberg also a rape survivor? Because if she’s not, then the by the Left’s own Law of Intersectional Hierarchy, her opinions carry no weight compared to Rep. Mace.

Let’s see the picture, Mitch!

Regarding Trump mixing his foundation, I’d bet a nickel that he’s got a pro doing it. Just sayin’.
Regarding McBride vis-a-vis Goldberg, I’m glad, I think, that Goldberg (isn’t she a pro wrestler?) is comfortable around McBride, but that doesn’t eliminate the reality that other women will not feel that way. I guess a bathroom is “better” than a locker room with communal dressing areas and showers, but it’s reality that a lot of women, not just rape survivors, aren’t comfortable with trans people even in the bathroom. Are they asking for that much?

It is not sufficient that you tolerate my fetish. You are required to pretend that my mental state is not only completely normal, but actually superior to the mental state of others who do not share it. If that means giving me paid leave for conditions I cannot have or dispensers for devices I cannot use, then it’s not only required that you do so, it’s a hate crime to fail to do so enthusiastically enough.
Right now, that logic only applies to cross-dressers but it’s only a matter of time before it is extended to cover people who are so mentally unstable they need a comfort animal to keep them sane; to adults who desire sex with children; to religious zealots who seek to exterminate others . . . the list is endless, once you abandon common sense and historical norms.
