In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.
We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:
The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.
I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.
Pop!
In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.
Dude' generally isn't offensive to guys or most women, but can be a slur against transfolk, especially trans women. Dude is generally seem as masculine, and reinforces the transphobic idea that "trans women are still just men" (they're not.)
Well the genetics say otherwise, but who am I to argue against science? And seriously? Dude is now a slur against trans?
You may not have intended to be offensive, but that's how it came across. And refusing to acknowledge or change that behavior is transphobic.
Absolutely transphobic to conform to the aggrieved party’s demands 😤
It's honestly not that hard to not call somebody something they don't wish to be called. Just because it's "how you've spoken for 20 years" doesn't mean it's not offensive to trans people.
I feel so bad for the decent tranners that are made to look like absolute retards by these people tbh. Trans activists are insufferable.
So this new person shows up, she actually uses the correct pronouns, but because she doesn't comply with the social expectation that this person be entitled to enter her home and bully her on what words she uses she's the asshole. Funny how the white knights have turned on their own favorite mantra and are now suggesting that a woman owes someone something, a stranger in fact.
I have asked this before and I will ask it again: Why will trams people kill themselves if I do not believe them? Is all of this dance just an issue because they are in effect holding themselves hostage?
Proof that people crave for a religious doctrine. How is this any different than avoiding a kid that calls you a catholicophobic if you don't respect his wish to never use swearwords around him?

In that moment of blind panic and terror, Jazz is Sauron. All triumph and victory is gone. Only the Void remains.

Trans drama always makes me lose brain cells. I refuse to believe that the people commenting actually exist in real life.
