"White Lotus" dares to go there

Mike White's fine HBO Max streaming series exposes the long-covered up reality of autogynephilia that has covertly driven so much transmania over the last 12 years.

Now finishing its third season, Mike White’s ensemble TV series The White Lotus has been a rightful succès d'estime: a high quality, not very woke black comedy about rich people at lovely seaside resorts.

Not surprisingly, it gets blanket coverage in the prestige press. For instance, today, following the weekend’s season finale, the front page of NYTimes.com links to articles about The White Lotus ten times.

But, the NYT refuses to mention a certain forbidden word to characterize Season 3’s most famous monolog. A few weeks ago, the outstanding actor Sam Rockwell (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Moon, Three Billboards, George W. Bush in Vice) makes a surprise appearance as an old friend of resort guest Walton Goggins, who is in need of a gun for some no doubt nefarious purpose.

Rockwell has retired to Thailand, presumably from one of those jobs that exist far more in movies than in real life, such as High-Priced Hitman.

In a definitely not safe for work monolog (and you may well wish to avoid watching it altogether), Rockwell explains to his old friend, the increasingly goggle-eyed Goggins, that after awhile Thailand’s abundance of cheap whores began to lead his sexual fetishes in new directions:

Mike White has constructed for Rockwell an over-the-top portrayal of a stereotypical autogynephilic ex-man — intelligent, self-centered, sex-crazed, and ruthless — which is fairly novel in America media during the ongoing World War T. In other words, a lot of ex-men tend to be exemplars of Toxic Masculinity at its nastiest, but nobody who is anybody has dared mention that to you since the Trans push got going in 2013.

After all, the Trans are, as we all know, the Good People, and skeptics about them are therefore the Bad People.

Even though a large fraction of the most aggressive trans activists suffer from the autogynephilia fetish, the media over the last dozen years of transmania has kept hidden the entire concept of AGP from moody teenage girls, the main victims of trans social contagion.
