![Tullius est [et Tullius non est Cicero]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwDG4xhsMn9o9J6nFVbJuaWEgUYVbxr7B9gbOXGZ3gwOu55lJg3q0Ev-z3MhLy29603_fkvvngkYmsTvRd4BATcVzZvVOhgkPSy-GIAuaFE0sCVBc_zcTW_d2mKKeCWhMxsZhAPyqXzymO/s1600/cicero-right-1024x603.jpg)
Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')

More Transgender "News"
I just happened upon this news propaganda about one of those nasty, intolerant schools that will not recognize the transgender status of a student (you know, the kind of school that the tolerant crowd will sue). The author takes the student's side from the very beginning, referring to Brian--who has had no reassignment surgeries--as "Rachel" and using female pronouns throughout the article even though BRIAN is a MALE. The report ends on a "cheery note" with "Rachel" hoping that this story can help at least one person. I wonder if the USA Today writer wrote the article hoping to change at least one person's mind on the issue? Hmmmm... I wonder.
