You Really Should Read This Article!

As I have said a number of times, I tend to be very moderate in my views.  I don't care for extremism, which is very common in the discussion of transgender issues.  I don't care for the idea that simply saying one is a woman (putting on a dress being sort of optional) makes it so, and allows one to invade women's spaces.  I don't care for the extremism of some radical feminists, who would deny the reality of transsexualism.  

It is rare to find a truly balanced and fair discussion of the subject.  But, an article on a web site with the rather amusing title of "The Lesbian Mafia" offers just that.  It deals with the issue of Don Ennis' transition and detransition, and it raises questions that it would be interesting to see kooks like "Autumn" Sandeen, "Cristan" Williams, and "Dana" Taylor actually respond to.  Not the usual shrill cries of "transphobia" but actually deal with honestly, and logically.  I am neither lesbian, or Mafia, but it is a great piece.

The article is:

Transgendered news editor Don Ennis detransitions from “Dawn” back to “Don” after 2-day bout of amnesia

Oh well...at least there is some hope.

Very interesting...

It must be the Mr "Zoe" Allen brain playbook, but he couldn't play it very well. It seems like Don Ennis is nothing more than a Man going through a mid life crisis and couldn't handle it very well.
