NASA is transphobic!

Back in the early 1970s, NASA launched two space probes, Pioneer 10 and 11.  A plaque was attached to each.  Looking at the plaque (see below), you can see that NASA was preemptively (or presciently) transphobic.  First, some background from Wikipedia:  

“The Pioneer plaques are a pair of gold-anodized aluminum plaques that were placed on board the 1972 Pioner 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 spacecraft, featuring a pictorial message, in case either Pioneer 10 or 11 is intercepted by intelligent extraterrestrial life.  The plaques show the nude figures of a human male and female along with several symbols that are designed to provide information about the origin of the spacecraft.

“The Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft were the first human-built objects to achieve escape velocity from the Solar System.  The plaques were attached to the spacecraft’s antenna support struts in a position that would shield them from erosion by interstellar dust.”

Here’s what the plaque looks like (picture from Wikipedia):

Can you imagine the shitstorm that would occur if these probes were launched today and this was the proposed plaque to attach?  Firstly, the male and female figures look disturbingly European—white supremacy!  But more importantly in the context of today’s transfascist zeitgeist, it’s missing the other gazillion genders, sexes, social constructs, self-ID’s, or whatever asshat nom du jour someone wants to call his or her “identify.”  The Woke would insist we include figures with “top surgery” scars, vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, etc.  They would also insist all the genders and pronouns and sexualities be listed: Ze/Zim/Zer, pansexual, demisexual, etc.

NASA would surely capitulate to the Woke mob and create an inclusive plaque.  It might not include every race on Earth, but it certainly would be replete with a plethora of gender identities, and this would require a much larger plaque.  Unfortunately, the rocket would be unable to get off the ground because the plaque would be too damn heavy.  Or perhaps a compromise could be reached, allowing a reasonably-sized plaque: Just engrave a picture of Dylan Mulvaney on it, as he pretty much sums the screwed-up state of the world today.

Woe betide any alien race that finds a human Woke-approved plaque.  Hopefully, for their sake, they’ll take the message as a warning to stay away from our planet, lest they become infected with the most dangerous virus in the universe: Wokeness.
