National Geographic, a formerly grand American institution dating back to 1888 which was captured years ago by woke ideology (in 2017 it published a story celebrating the “Gender Revolution” with a nine-year-old trans child on the cover) has announced its nine “Travelers of the Year” for 2024. Is anyone surprised that the lineup includes a demonically costumed drag queen?
Wyn Wylie, who performs as a grotesque and insulting parody of a woman under the stage name “Pattie Gonia,” is a self-described “intersectional environmentalist, drag queen, and advocate for inclusivity in the outdoors” who works to “uplift LGBTQIA+ people and other underrepresented groups in the outdoors.”
The notion that drag queens are “underrepresented” anywhere in America today is demonstrably absurd. They are celebrated in the forefront of our cultural awareness in the media and entertainment arenas. They garner lucrative corporate sponsorships from the likes of The North Face and Bud Light. They are welcomed in libraries all across the country to groom children under the pretense of reading to them in “Drag Queen Story Hours.” In addition to the NatGeo accolade, Pattie Gonia has over 600,000 followers on social media, and he has the nerve to call himself underrepresented.
As for whether he and his ilk are underrepresented in the outdoors, who’s stopping them? Anyone of any race, sexual preference, or identity category is free to go camping, hiking, and sightseeing in any national park in the country, and always has been. If drag queens are “underrepresented” in the Great Outdoors, it’s no one’s fault but their own – certainly not the result of some mythical systemic oppression.
Nevertheless, to push back against (or rather, to exploit) this purported oppression, Pattie Gonia co-founded The Outdoorist Oath, a nonprofit which shrewdly links our culture’s obsession with gender ideology to climate change hysteria in an “action-based commitment for planet, inclusion, and adventure.” The organization asks members to take an oath to acknowledge climate change, commit to advocating for environmental justice, and recognize “that systemic oppression is real and that hatred, discrimination, and biases marginalize people.”
(Fact check: the only systemic oppression taking place in America today is the targeting of the cultural and political opponents of the Biden administration. They include parents being investigated as domestic terrorists for challenging the indoctrination of their children in an educational system captured by woke groomers; fathers being SWATted and jailed for pro-life activism; white soldiers in the military being demonized for the supposed existential threat of their “whiteness” and “white rage”; and Catholics under investigation by the FBI – not to mention the ongoing witch hunt of pro-Trump, January 6 protesters and their unconstitutional incarceration as political prisoners.)
Outdoorist Oath also predictably raises awareness about “the role White Supremacy plays into your experience in the outdoors” in activism workshops called “Stretch Sessions.” An announcement for one such workshop reads, “Confronting our white supremacy will never be easy, but it is a necessary step in creating a more inclusive and equitable outdoors.” It’s unclear what outdoor inequity is, or how in the world white supremacy “plays into your experience” while hiking or fishing, but again, the outdoors is already plenty inclusive. There are no squads of white supremacists setting up checkpoints at Yellowstone or Yosemite to prevent drag queens and black people from entering.
Also predictably, Outdoorist Oath recently felt compelled to issue a statement denouncing the “negative effects of colonization and imperialism,” supporting “Palestine,” and calling for a cease-fire in Israel’s righteous campaign to eradicate the savage terror group Hamas. None of this has anything to do with the outdoors; it’s all progressive virtue-signaling.
In related news, the New York Times reports that a funeral service was held on February 15 at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City for Cecilia Gentili, an illegal alien, drug addict, prostitute, trans activist, and atheist. The Times noted with approval that Gentili’s “memorial functioned as both a celebration of her life and an exuberant piece of political theater,” thanks to the attendance of over “1,000 mourners, several hundred of whom were transgender” who arrived in “glittery miniskirts and halter tops, fishnet stockings, sumptuous fur stoles and at least one boa sewed from $100 bills.” A picture near the altar depicted a haloed Gentili surrounded by the Spanish words for “transvestite,” “whore,” “blessed” and “mother.”
Catholic League President Bill Donohue observed that many of those in attendance changed the words of “Ave Maria” to “Ave Cecilia” when it was sung, and shouted, “St. Cecilia, Mother Of All Whores.” He added that noted LGBT advocate Fr. James Martin called the event “wonderful” and declared that trans activists are “as much a part of the church as anyone else.”
Donohue also hastened to add that the “profane service” only happened because the person who made the arrangements withheld the blasphemous details of the event from the Church, admitting, “I kept it under wraps.” The Pastor of St. Patrick’s, wrote Donohue, said that the Cathedral “had no idea our welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way.”
This ugly, disrespectful circus in a cathedral, along with NatGeo’s virtue-signaling inclusion of a drag performer among its “Travelers of the Year,” aren’t just silly, irreverent modern provocations against uptight old-timers; they are deadly serious examples of the ongoing offensive being waged by the radical left against all our social and cultural norms. Drag culture and the Astroturfed transgender craze are campaigns in the war on the biological binary; their mainstreaming is designed to hasten the Marxist abolition of the family by eradicating both natural and social distinctions between male and female. They are part of a transgressive revolution by the left designed to tear down the existing bourgeois order and replace it with a collectivist social justice utopia.
Rolling back the degradation of our culture begins with countering the false narratives being spread about systemic oppression and gender ideology by such cowardly corporate and media institutions as National Geographic, The North Face, and Bud Light. Make your voices heard and your dollars count.

Until very recently in America, cross-dressing was illegal. We need to return to that philosophy of making degenerate things illegal. Tolerance is a vice when it enables harmful behaviors like cross-dressing.

Now slow down there. Using government to address social ills will just make matters worse. It is the left that makes things ‘illegal’. We should be above that.
I hope my fellow conservatives will fight for more freedoms and not fall into the trap of trying to ban what we don’t like and let government grow.
That includes this asinine war on drugs. I bet your’e also for this destructive prohibition of recreational drugs as well.
You damn right I am. Maby you haven’t watched some one you care about slowly die from. The evil shit that’s out there.
Dipshits always try to sell their drug prohibition nonsense wrapped in weed.
And today’s governments want to be the dealer. For that sweet sweet cash.
Some of us believe in freedom. I’m sorry about the loss of someone close to you, but that happened under ‘prohibition’. Legalization would produce proffesionally manufactured safer drugs that aren’t laced with dangerous additives.
You are not god my friend. You shouldn’t be able to decide what other adults intake or don’t take, just because you don’t approve of it.
I have a theory that this is all about Obama’s staying in power – or those behind & around them staying in power. It’s a “ crazy conspiracy theory” that I made up. The thing is those keep coming true.
To an extent. The Left is, and has always been, about destruction. By destroying the existing society they believe they are paving the way for a new society that operates on principles that run contrary to human nature and all historical experience. Obama is certainly a Leftist who believes in this claptrap but it goes way beyond him.
New Orleans National WW 2 Museum, U.S. Golf Association, etc. will regret the day they turned WOKE, if America still has any soul for righteousness. Otherwise, be careful in public bathrooms…….
I haven’t heard about the WW II museum being woke. Please explain. Thanks.
The disgusting freak still has a mustache. Nice touch.
What’s more disgusting is there are plenty of public schoolboard members that eagerly hire him to pole dance in front of 1st graders, when not recording parent’s info for the FBI.
Other activities include having them arrested for showing righteous anger over their daughters getting raped in the girl’s bathroom – raped by a pervert wearing a skirt.
We suffer a sick culture. Probably it is related to a decline in our civilization.
And I quote ….
“…..deadly serious examples of the ongoing offensive being waged by the radical left against all our
social and cultural norms. Drag culture and the Astroturfed transgender craze are campaigns in the
war on the biological binary…….”
In the 20s, 30s, and 40s young men would seek out National Geographic articles to see photo images of bare-breasted tribal maidens. That would be seen as the result of normal sexual urges on the part of those men. Now Natioal Geographic promotes this twisted gender ideology madness. Will the current generation of young men find this appealing? If they are at all normal they certainly will not.
These people are really, really sick. Biden admin gives a million dollars to prove there are more than 2 genders? God will judge them, but maybe they need someone to arrange the meeting.
N.G. got fooled twice or more with faked Fossils and fake a tribe their Achoraptor the so called missing link between Dinosaurs and Birds was proven to be a total fake after N.G. did a article FEATHERS FOR T-REX? hen that fake tribe in the Philippines and Ferdinand Marcos
Yet just another reason why I do not support National Geographic any longer, or Anheiser Busch or Disney plus a few others that went woke
They are freaks of Nature, far outliers, at the very edges of the Bell Curve of specie population.
Allow such to live quietly if peacefully, if not and they sell to propagate then let them travel to Gaza, Yemen, etc., to enlighten the would-be travelers there.
Who wears exaggerated makeup and outfits, and acts silly? Clowns. Clowns used to creep me out, and modern clowns aren’t any better.
I saw something on the blasphemy in, and desecration of St Patricks’s Cathedral, but didn’t know the details until now. I’d like to see them try that in a mosque. I guess trannies not shooting up the place is some improvement.
Genetic Mutants have won the day. There is nowhere else to fall.
Should the freedom of adults to have sex with children be allowed?
I have a theory that part of the agenda in viewing children as qualified to make far-reaching decisions about puberty blockers and gender “affirming” surgery, is that in due course children will be primed to demand that they be allowed to have sex with adults, and no-one will dare to tell them that they know not what they ask.
If your hero is Cecilia ‘Mother of all Whores.’ You might want to look for a better role model, just saying.
More proof we are now living in Bizarro World.
National Geographic picked and features Wylie for one reason and one reason only. He’s a freak weirdo and to rub Normal American’s noses in the optics.
Learned much about the world from that magazine growing up in the 60s and 70s. Noticed an odd environmentalist bent in the early 80s and stopped my subscription. The Club for Growth and the Earth Day worshippers ruined many good publications and it continues. These dying rags must have hired a bunch of university graduates whose indoctrination didn’t involve business acumen.
I actually meant to write Club of Rome not the Club for Growth. Their essay “Limits to Growth “ was the precursor for the litany of failed catastrophic environmental predictions of doom.. That still hasn’t stopped to this day.
Gave up on National Geographic 40yrs ago …
… that said, reading my grandfather’s old NGs from the 20s-60s shaped my view of the world …
… and even then it was ‘Progressive’ …
I cancelled my subscription to National Geographic after they ran a cover with George Floyd. Thugs aren’t heroes.
And the Catholic church is in a constant state of amazement that they continue to lose parishners and as a result are seeing churches closed.
One should also ask how the Chinese will deal with these cutting age reformers when they invade the United States?
Considering the love The Left and Queers have for islam and the people that follow such a Fascist Religious Cult then I would have thought such an Atheist Queer group would wish to have the Funeral in a mosque for the sake of diversity.
The founder of Sirius XM Radio is a transgender named Martine Rothblatt. Obama invited it to a dinner at the White House in 2016, and it’s friends with top Google executives. It is a proponent of Transhumanism which is the new atheistic religion of the tech and academia “elite”. They want to replace humans or upgrade us into non-binary robots directly connected to computers run by artificial intelligence. They will download a personality for later use, if desired.
Nat Geo is a Disney property. Nuff said.
