A Small Glimmer of Hope Amidst the Insanity

It is not often that one finds much hope in the silliness that comes out of the "transgender community."  But every once in a while someone actually posts the truth, and it serves as a slap in the fact to fools like Mr. "Cristan" Williams who has spent a lot of time trying to force people under the umbrella.  Or Mr. "Autumn" Sandeen, who is again trying to push that idea.

Jillian Page, who is one of the more sane writers out there, makes just that point in an article that is titled Why Most Transitioned People Don’t Carry the Transgender Torch.  She begins:

“Where is it written that someone who has transitioned MUST help the (transgender) community?” asks reader Karyn Maynard in response to someone else on the comments board of a GLAAD post about Dawn Ennis.

Karyn makes a good point, and the fact of the matter is, most people who transition move on from trans issues. They don’t actually see themselves as transgender people, even if they embraced the cause of “transgenderism” at some point in their journey. But they don’t live between the gender binary as so many transgender people happily do: the transitioned MtF person IS a female, and the FtM person IS a male. The point of transitioning was to fully live life as a female (or male in the case of FtMs). Hence, many just ride off into the sunset, or go “stealth,” as some like to say.

In another words, we wish to live quiet, normal lives.  Something that seems to drive some transgender extremists up the wall:

Over the years, I have received complaints from some transgender readers who don’t accept that many transitioned people drop the “transgender” label and just see themselves as women (or men). They don’t understand it. “You are denying your heritage,” they say. They also seem to be saying that transitioned women and men are something less than “real” women and men.

Our "heritage?"  Where do they get this stuff from?  I honestly believe what they are really upset about is that we don't want to join them in being "other." This is what I have labeled as "cisphobia." (Hey, if the transgender kooks can make up silly words....)

I particularly like this part of the article...

When the media does it, they are essentially qualifying the womanhood or manhood of transitioned individuals, saying basically that they are something less than women or men. The “transgender” word is essentially an asterisk . But I can tell you that there is no asterisk beside the “female” designation on my birth certificate, driver’s licence, medicare card etc.

Yes, and that is also what the transgender kooks are doing when they refer to themselves as "trans women," or "trans men."  They don't want to be "normal."

But many of us want just that, even as the transgender kooks spew venom at us, telling us that we don't.  But I agree with what she says:

Little wonder that so many transitioned women and men disappear into the woodwork.

Of course, as I am sure you can imagine, this sort of thing does not go over well with the transgender kooks, and there has already been at least one bit of back lash....

In an article entitled You’re Only as Transitioned and Stealth as the Next Person Says You Aren’t, "Katrina" Rose tries to negate the truth, attempting to "scare" anyone who might get the idea of rejecting the efforts of their transgender masters:

Uh huh…

There is no asterisk until someone – someone with the power to make their opinion stick – says there is.

And then you need a torch-bearer to vindicate the non-asterisk portions of your identity papers.

What Mr. Rose ignores is that most who have such problems do so because they insist on flaunting their transgender status.  Yes, there may be cases where someone accidentally discovers someone is a transsexual, but if one has already made it clear by their actions that they are not interested in being "trans" but instead are attempting to live a quiet, normal life, then one will usually encounter less problems.

He  then goes on to make a whiney complaint that apparently boils down to the old "bad people in LGB groups don't treat us "T's" as equals.  Uh, might that be because most of the "T's" act like fools, demanding that people accept that "women have penises" and "men can get pregnant?"

It's Really Very Simple...

Much sound and fury has been expended over Roseanne Barr's remarks about transgender men (sorry boys, but I am not going to call you women) going into women's spaces.  Now, Barr, who I still think of as being a few French fries short of a Happy Meal, no doubt, quite ignorantly include transsexual women under her remarks, but this is an issue that is bigger than just Roseanne (and yes, that would be huge).  

Jillian Page, a post-op in Canada had this to say on the issue:

I think I wasn’t upset by her comments because I have had sexualreassignment surgery, and have reconciled that part of my body with myheart and my brain. But if I had not had the surgery yet and foundmyself facing the same problems so many pre-op and non-op trans peopleface over the washroom issue, perhaps I, too, would have takenRoseanne to task for her somewhat careless, off-the-cuff comments, forwhich she apologized.

Now, there is a problem here, and I have to wonder if Page really has thought this through.  Page, I realize is pretty much swilling down the transgender Kool-Aid, but there is something here that needs to be confronted.

It is really, very, very simple.  If you call yourself a pre-op, and you cannot comprehend that the obvious presence of your penis in a place like the women's room, or a locker room, might be upsetting to women, then...STAY OUT!!!!  Put another way, if you think you have some absolute right to be in the women's room, even though you are a pre-op, if you think that women should not be upset having your penis exposed in a dressing room, if you think you have a right to enter women's spaces, even though you not corrected your body, let me be clear...YOU DON'T!!!

Just to be completely clear here, if you have these sort of attitudes, if you cannot comprehend how women might feel about your penis, if you think they should "just get over it," well, YOU ARE NOT, AND YOU NEVER WILL BE, A WOMAN!!!!!  YOU ARE A MAN!!!  GOT THAT?  A MAN!!!!  NO AMOUNT OF HORMONES, SURGERY, OR FANTASY, WILL EVER CHANGE THAT.  SO STAY OUT OF WOMEN'S SPACES.  WE DON'T WANT YOU, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!!!!!

As to crossdressers, non-ops, and such, well...you really shouldn't even be considering being in the women's room.    Sure, man that you are, you will force your way in.  You have no shame, and are not really that much different in attitude or behavior from a rapist.  It is all just a matter of degree.

When I was pre-op, I was always aware that, in a sense, I was an interloper.  I appreciated that I was accepted into the company of woman, albeit without their knowledge of my past in most cases.  I was always very sensitive to any uneasiness on the part of a female friend who knew my situation, under such circumstances.  And the idea of being in a situation where my privates would be exposed made me close to physically ill.

But now, more and more, the transgender extremists think that women are supposed to "just get over it."  They really don't realize just how digesting they are.  What they are doing is simply proving that Janice Raymond was right to a degree.  It was just that she didn't understand certain nuances, and perhaps, didn't care.
