Ugggh … I saw my last “tuck-under” at about age 8 … when one of my friends said … “look at me! I’m a girl”! No … he … wasn’t. And repeating the trick on the page of Playboy doesn’t “transform” a boy into a girl either. Doing this trick as an adult … just certifies your mental disorder(s).
I think I can survive without having something like that burned onto my retinas.
I guess I’ll start reading it just for the articles……..
It used to be that Playboy catered to red-blooded males — a sound strategy since they are a lot of them. Now it caters to left-wing … somethings. Actually, who is their target audience?
Playboy‘s changed direction ever since Hefner handed over the company to his daughter.
I’ve only seen this guy at the SDA link, I don’t think he’s that sexy. Not a fan of his face at all.
Hugh Hefner died???, I though they said Huge Heffer, and that they were referring to Rosie O’Donnell
Fair warning! That which was seen cannot be unseen.
“Actually, who is their target audience?”
Indeed, that is the central question. Well let’s see. Nudity is easily found at numerous porn sites on the web so they abandoned that. Then they tried to be “Sports Illustrated” and put beautiful women in swim suits. That didn’t work because imitation is not innovation. So now they’re trying freak sexuality and moving toward bestiality.
Playboy magazine is no longer a viable magazine. It’s over.
Who is their audience ……they have no audience.
The Decline?????
This is not a decline… it’s Wylie Coyote, just after the overhanging cliff edge crumbles beneath his feet!
The Bond girl in “For Your Eyes Only”, Caroline Cossey, was famously transgendered. That film is from the early 1990s, and I think she was in Playboy as well.
Born chromosomally XXXY, she eventually settled on being a girl. When it comes to gender, mother nature isn’t 100% about making everyone exactly male (XY) or female (XX). And some people are even born with both sets of parts. While rare, it seems like a pretty tough hand of cards for these folks to be dealt. It’s not cool to make fun of dwarfs, or albinos, or anyone else born differently through whatever flaw of genetics and no fault of their own. I think these trans people likewise deserve compassion, not ridicule or abuse.
“We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.”
C. S. Lewis
Then again, Playboy claims it’s on “the right side of history” for doing this. Famous last words…..
anyone else born differently through whatever flaw of genetics
Oh, please. You know as well as we do that’s not what we’re talking about here.
In most cases I’ve heard about, the only evidence that’s required is say-so of the person in question. Actual verifiable scientific data need not be considered.
Agreed. They are freaks of nature, who were dealt a bad hand in life and deserve compassion (some are). But who decided that our culture NEEDS a freak parade shoved in our face? And BTW … The media seems to have some sort of odd “mission” to shove every grotesquety of human freakdom into the public square. I have been constantly shown articles and images of breast cancer survivors nude, displaying their chest disfigurement. Why do I NEED to see this? (BTW … my wife is a breast cancer survivor … and I don’t need such ghoulish displays to “educate” me). And a host of other freaks and disfigurements are splashed across the mass media. Sorry … I have all manner of compassion for burn victims, amputees, the deaf, the blind, etc. but if you still have boy parts (regardless of how small and remnant) then you cannot and will not ever be a girl. Sorry. And if I STARE at your poor attempt of “transgenderism” … then go back to your doctor and try harder … but don’t blame ME for staring. Sorry, freaks will always be seen as FREAKS. and all this feeble reeducation is just an annoying waste of time. And let me add … if I lose my legs, become horribly disfigured in a fiery auto crash … I will NOT parade myself in public and FORCE everyone to “accept” me. Unless, of course, I became brain damaged also … and started behaving like an idiotic liberal social engineer
@ turtle:
The left has so distorted the language that no one really knows the meaning of words anymore. Today transexual does not equate to hermaphrodite (“some people are even born with both sets of parts”) or people like Caroline Cossey with her extra X chromosome. Rather transexual (also transgender) does not trace to any know genetic defect and definitely not to having both types of sex organs. If there is a “flaw of genetics” in those claiming to be transexual, it is not detectable. In todays language, just feeling like you are a different sex is all it takes to be transgendered/transexual.
have compassion for the mentally ill but I find no merit is pretending this is normal or something to give my support to.
Kenji and David in Michigan, well said.
It seems our society is becoming a succession of freak shows and our educational system wants to create even more.
Yes Playboy has been in decline for decades. Now they have a new target consumer which will make the original consumer market, which is 100x larger, shun the Playboy product lest the traditional consumer be thought by anyone who sees a Playboy magazine in their possession to be wanting sex with a person who has a dick.
Not a smart marketing move by Playboy.
Playboy must be on the skids and this is their last grab for a few paltry sales and then …the End. (not with a bang, but a whimper…and a little pillow biting)
who cares playboy is for degenerates. Hugh Hefner deserves to have his body dumped in a sewage tank. Nothing conservative about that literally human turd.
@David in Michigan:
I have done some reading recently about this because I have a few trans patients in my practice. Transgender pts are not mentally ill, although there is a condition “gender dysphoria” where associated confusion and stress (understandable I guess) would impair health, and it is a named mental illness.
Transexual does trace to known genetic defects in some individuals, including those without hermaphroditism or XX/XY aberrations. Interestingly the genetic flaw for female-to-male trans is unrelated to the flaw for male-to-female.
One thing I find interesting is that of the trans people I am aware of, none of them–zero–would have any interest in being showy in public about their issue. They just seem like otherwise normal folks who want to get on with their lives, and seem unlikely to welcome some SJW making them the ’cause of the week’, or to be in any kind of ‘freak show’.
The decline has long since turned into a freefall.
agreed.
why is it that circus freaks became persona non grata for whatever rationale related to ‘respect’, but now, somehow, its all back more than ever in parade after parade that we are expected to gaze upon and nod our collective heads like a godd**mn bobblehead dashboard ornament.
seriously. I remember going to the autumn fair midway back in the early 60s and seeing the ‘fat lady’ and the ‘bearded lady’ and the amputee lighting a cigarette with his teeth, on and on. once I got to high school no interest in this morbid stuff.
next up: mandatory essays on how all the world’s wrongs are because of straight white middle-aged males.
Don’t forget that they can now enter mainstream beauty contests. Remember what happened with Miss Universe Canada a few years ago?
