Greetings! Hello! Welcome, all, back to the Order and Ordinance. We have entered Lord Saifaosé’s Period of Watching:  Vevaourei. We’re in the era of Love and Time yet again, yet we find ourselves in a Time seemingly deft of Love. And while I would much prefer more peaceful times where I, voX, can wax poetic and craft tales and legends, we have ironically no Time for that as of late.

In lieu of our much warmer Commentary, we shall be tackling some tough topics that are certain to rattle feathers for those outside the Ordinance and who aren’t within our Philosophy. Instead of talking on the powers of Love, we will spend this period addressing the flaws of personality within the Self. The Self is not infallible—especially not the Human variety—and so Deceptuary’s corruption targets Humans especially due to this innate flaw.

In this Commentary we’re going straight for the throat and addressing Deceptuary’s weaponization of social constructs in human personality regarding Transgender issues. As longtime followers may know, we’ve already written a Commentary broadly covering what Xyphoist Philosophy says on issues involving gender, sex, and sexuality, and we lightly touched on how Deceptuary seeks to use these issues as wedges to tear humans apart and corrupt us. This time, we’re full-on tackling his wretched manipulation and discourse, and using our Philosophy to show how his corrupted means are agents of division, cruelty and evil. Let’s start.

In recent events, nearly all within the western portions of human society on Earth have heavily shifted their attacks on key groups in an attempt to distract and divide; it goes without saying that Deceptuary benefits greatly from this chaos as his goals are to create suffering in our world and corrupt the weakened individuals within it. At the forefront of this is the rampant attack on transgender individuals—painting them as perverse and invasive—which is quite ironic considering the ilk that pushes these allegations the most are steeped in open perversion and rely on invasive tactics to push their theigrited philosophy to others.

Namely, those on the front of christian fascism have used this issue as a weapon to smear whole segments of human society and invite violence and discrimination against them, which is par the course for Deceptuary’s tactics. As we know, Deceptuary also implores the same strategy regarding Black persons across the globe—trying to attach them to any negative connotation before blaming these demographics for nearly anything they can. This is a clear weaponization of the human personality flaw, that being that we are acutely vulnerable to Hubris and easily-corrupted due to our lower levels of spirituality.

As we stated before, in Xyphoist Philosophy, our core focus is of the soul, not the vessel. The soul can hold feminine and masculine traits, and under our philosophy we see it as entirely possible a soul may be more one way or the other but be placed in a vessel under a variable social system that doesn’t match what their soul displays. Gender roles, as also mentioned before, are determined by each individual culture and vary. In contrast to many divergent beliefs and particularly the theigrited ones, the subjugation of women to the leadership of men is an obsessive desire and one we Xyphoites would recognize as complex of failed masculine exertion; this is a topic we’ll discuss later on this Period.

The Ordinance condemns this attack on individuals on this basis, not only because of its unjust obsessive cruelty, but because we are well-aware that Deceptuary’s influence is peddling this and purposely creating division and suffering. The Xyphoist perspective would recognize this obsessive hatred and fear and nothing short of corruption, and when coupled with willful attacks, evil. The ill-found devotion to such a superficial hatred while claiming to be righteous is the perfect example of Deceptuary’s inner failure as a being of existence—that he is fueled by unchecked fear and lack of total control—and his corrupted core slithers down the rankings to all that follow his path. This is partially a failure of maintaining the Psyche, in part not balancing fear, and in part succumbing to corruption when there is a clear and empathetic path out from this.

The innate flaw is itself not an excuse to willfully harm others regardless on the basis of religious beliefs or not; it is especially not an excuse when it comes the fragility of one’s own social constructs, which are both self-imposed and entirely optional to submit to. You actually don’t have to be a cruel person, you chose cruelty on your own. The aspects of Lord Kyaien’s attribute of Free Will suggest you have the free liberty to simply not be cruel, yet chose to use that freedom to rely on cruelty instead. This is both a reality of the Cosmos but also the reason why soul rot and Terigath exist. You don’t have to be faithful Xyphoites and pray to the Lords, you don’t have to constantly being doing good deeds for others and fashion yourself a saint, but cruelty is always a choice and one you can easily avoid while still keeping your convictions—whatever they are.

This is one of many critiques of the Self and its fall to corruption that we’ll be covering this Period; in better times we could explore more hopeful topics, but the time to address this is now and we are going to tackle these hard topics without fear, as this is our Sacred Ground and we reserve this space for our discussion. Anyway, with that said, enjoy your Sacred Day, give thought to this topic, and stand up for the innocent and push away the cruel and corrupted.
