You know, I *try* to be reasonably tolerant. But some people just take “individuality” so far over the edge into the Abyss Of Weird that I just throw up my hands and assume that what I’m looking at is actually a poorly-trained alien infiltrator who has given up on attempting to assimilate into humanity.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold… uh… this:

‘What quantum physics taught me about queer identity’

I got about three seconds in before my “WTF Am I Looking At” reflex kicked in. This is an officially sanctioned and produced BBC video. You know, the British Broadcasting Corporation, often perceived as the high water mark of culture.

See, it’s not the “trans” thing that sets my teeth on edge. I know full well that for a number of people biology played a dirty trick on them and stuck their brain into a body what ain’t quite right for ’em. This in fact covers a *lot* of territory, and there’s no moral complaint against such folk. But what sets off my Nope Node are people who display what can only be described as some kind of madness… then being *celebrated* for it, while at the same time cranking out the sort of bullcrap quantum mysticism you might expect to see out of a crank like Deepak Chopra.
