Editor’s Introductory Note: This essay was first posted at Brandon Smith’s Alt-Market.us. It is reposted with permission. — Transgenderism is not a civil rights movement; it’s a social engineering experiment. The LGBT movement is not a struggle for equal rights; it’s a covert war for political control. The agenda of the people involved in the spheres of trans-activism are radical zealots hellbent on the destruction of their enemies by any means necessary – And if you believe in logic, objective reality, biological science, and moral imperative, then you are one of their enemies. A prime strategy of the trans movement … The post Bring Back Asylums: Transgender Fatigue In America, by Brandon Smith appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.

Welcome back to our weekly behind-the-scenes glimpse at what’s getting our team talking. Let us know what you think at info@reasonstobecheerful.world.   Wheels in motion Citi Bike, New York City’s bike share system, has proven wildly popular. How popular? Check out this story from Bloomberg (incidentally, the magazine started by the mayor who oversaw Citi Bike’s launch) shared by Interim Editorial Director Tess Riley. The article takes us on a ride with the most-used bike in the entire Citi Bike system, offering a fascinating glimpse at how folks get around in America’s least-car-dependent city. Tess says:   I really enjoyed this story about Citi Bike #32606, a.k.a. the most used Citi Bike bike in NYC. Not a solution piece per se, but cool to see data visualization being used to celebrate such amazing use of resources (over 806 days, the bike in question was ridden 8,624 times). On the hunt Foraging for wild food is often a more sustainable way to eat — but not always. Contributing Editor Geetanjali Krishna shares a story — and a personal memory — about foraging, and learns that sometimes it’s not what’s best for biodiversity. Geetanjali says:   Foraging brings back childhood memories of finding wild strawberry patches in the Himalayas. I found this story interesting because it makes the point that foraging for wild foods may sound lovely, but it isn’t necessarily sustainable and runs the risk of depleting wild resources. I can still taste the tart, tiny strawberries we’d so greedily pick though.
