Exh trans issues

I support Intersex rights

I am a TRA (Trans Rights Activist). I am empathetic toward Trans people. I know and love all Trans people

To echo JK Rowling: “ I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I’d march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans. At the same time, my life has been shaped by being female. I do not believe it’s hateful to say so”

I also echo JK Rowling here “ If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

and here “The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women - ie, to male violence - ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences - is a nonsense.”

The reason why I am very weary of transgenderism is because transgender people are sadly harmed when they try to defy the patriarchy and its gender expectations and that makes me very wary of supporting transgender rights knowing transgender people could be harmed by such patriarchy. 

We need to destroy traditional gender roles (and gender roles themselves) and the patriarchy as noted elsewhere in this blog so men acting feminine etc is seen as normal as men acting masculine and women acting masculine etc is seen as normal as women acting feminine now and thus by extension where being transgender etc is seen as being normal as cisgender

I want our government to blow up the whole Cissexist, Cisgender patriarchy which can be done in part by overcoming Neoliberalism and Capitalism.

I.am critical of gender because gender itself includes the power systems that have been maintained by cisgender (non-transgender) people for centuries if not millennias to marginalize trans people and deny them the legitimacy of their identities.

The patriarchy also enforces cissexism, which is the discriminatory false belief system that trans people’s identities are not as ‘valid’ as cis people’s. Thus, I want to abolish these cis-sexist systems of power to help Transgender people have true freedom once and for all.

I want us to create a new hierarchy less system where Cisgender people and Transgender people have true equal rights from the get go (i.e a fresh start) in a world where culture and our institutions are changed where someones gender doesn’t matter and where there is no Cissexism or Cisgender patriarchy .

We need to change our system’s model for people of all genders/sexes. 

This is builds upon merely giving Transgender people equal rights and parity in the existing Cissexist, Cisgender patriarchal system , because until we abolish the Cisgender patriarchal system, any gains in Transgender rights will just breed complacency and a false sense of equality. 

If we do not change the model of accumulation, generation of wealth, how we distribute wealth, the value of work and abolish the Cissexist patriarchal system, we will not have justice and true equality for transgender people

I hope that one day transgender people who want to change to a new gender would use gender changing methods that these mice went through to be recognized as their new gender or sex

I believe we should start HEAVILY funding research to changing the biological sex of males and females using these methods (which would make them become their gender/sex naturally instead of through surgeries or hormone therapy), so trans people who want to be recognized as their new gender /sex will be go through with that type of therapy above in order to be recognized as their new gender or sex instead of what they currently do now to be recognized as such

Transgender females were females when their mother got pregnant with them then they became male in their mother’s womb, so its a natural return for them to become Transgender females after birth

Biological females going from female to transgender male is like when biological females change to biological males in their mother’s womb

Nowhere in the bible was Transgenderism condemned as a sin or even mentioned

Being Transgender was never seen as wrong by any society from BC times through the mid 20th century.

Transgender people tend to blend in perfect, like this teen and her  

The views that I express in this post plays slightly into my views on Transgenderism

I believe Gender voluntarism is true. I believe that a person can choose their gender. I believe that gender is performative, not essentialist, people are free agents to perform and become the gender they want to be

A woman is an adult who identities as the social construct that is associated with the female sex.

Personally I mixingly yield to (and wink at) Transgender rights being legalized in our current unjust Cissexist system or until this type of natural sex gender changing surgery become legal for humans in which case personally I will flat out support transgender rights instead of just mixingly yielding to (and winking at) Transgender rights being legalized

Legality wise, I support (lean Fourth Political position) Transgender rights being legalized in our current unjust Cissexist system or until this type of natural sex gender changing surgery become legal for humans in which case I will legality wise support transgender rights even more than that if possible

As noted above, I want us to abolish our Cissexist patriarchal system (Gender acceleration and the Queer theory) so Transgender people can have true equality instead of having only hollow and shallow parity on our existing Cissexist patriarchal system. 

Here are my underlying and systematic views on Transgender rights. But underlyingly and systematically not personally or legality wise

I support the message of both memes in this link. 

I support Transgender marriage

The Super straight movement is ok as long as it isn’t transphobic. It is NOT transphobic for non transgender people to not want to date transgender people. It is their right to be picky about who they marry when it comes to gender of their spouse. Some cisgender people want to marry cisgender people they can naturally have a child with. Nothing wrong with that

Because some Trans people are Lesphobes are trying to wrongly erase lesbians I very much empathize with Radical Lesbian Feminists and Radical Feminists(i.e TERFs) critiquing Transgenderism since I believe that is a way to prevent lesbian erasure.  

 I very much empathize with Radical Lesbian Feminists and Radical Feminists’ (i.e TERFs) saying that transgender women are an unexpected element to us destroying the sexist Male patriarchy/patriarchy and bringing in true equality between the sexes/genders which is what I want. Transgenderism complicates things 

This is because Transgenderism highlights the artificial and constructed nature of sex and gender while in the eyes of those sensitive or impressionable TERFs, objectifies women at the same time

This post Male patriarchy/post patriarchy system that transgender women are an unexpected element that may stop feminists from creating, would allow a whole new system where sex and gender don’t matter (but where the concepts of sex and gender like male and female would still exist) , where there is no such thing as sex/gender roles (which would be outsourced to collectives or Inclusive Democracy methods) and where there is natural and true equality between the sexes/genders from the start (which would liberate sexists and misogynists from their sexism and misogyny and remove the roots which cause people to be sexist or misogynist in our current Male patriarchal system). 

Trans people are seen by some to facilitate gender norms which to them breed sexism and more against women since stereotyping has those type of effects (though Transgender people facilitating gender norms and shaking up the sex and gender binary has a positive effects as noted below) 

Some people say that trans people give off ‘we are dupes’ vibes. I don’t go remotely that far but I am very impressionable and it is hard to force myself to unhear those views on Transgender people

Trans people engage in controversial  ‘savage body mutilation’ which some feminists say is an assault on women’s bodies (ie sex reassignment surgery which if it is really violence it must must be confronted) not my words but other feminists’ words. I really wish I can ignore such critiques but I am human and I have OCD. 

I want to know why some fellow Radical feminists say things like Janice Raymond said  “All trans women rape women's bodies by reducing the real female form to an artifact, appropriating this body for themselves.". As a sexual abuse activist I get horrified reading that quote. I know Jan is transphobe but the way my mind works makes it hard to unhear quotes like that. This is a another reason I am not more pro Transgender as I am now

It is hard for me to be a radical cheerleader for Transgender people when young women for example who may one day be feminists,  get sex hormones as a child to be a boy, never getting a chance to break the male patriarchy/patriarchy as a biological woman feminist (not that it matters the sex or gender of feminists, I am a guy who is a feminist, but at the very least Transgender males being feminists can divide the feminist movement and a house divided against itself cannot stand and feminism don’t need major distractions)

The whole big med are trying to medicalize gender identity and normalize it . Not once did pro Trans activists ask if they should but they only asked if they could

Since we are trying to destroy the male patriarchy/patriarchy which we should, to play devil’s advocate,  making women in man’s image (trans women) is going to add a unexpected element in doing that, which at worst this new element seriously complicates this process of destroying the male patriarchy/patriarchy 

Transgenderism gives biological men Transgender women, who are this new element in our feminist activism (in our feminist quest to destroy the male patriarchy/patriarchy)  

This could make it harder for us to destroy the male patriarchy/patriarchy and to liberate all sexist men from their sexism since we feminists have to fight two fronts (male patriarchy/patriarchy and any hurdles the Transgender movement creates for feminists). 

Even if that its the opposite and transgender women give sexist men a false sense of security causing less sexism against women (by either transgenderism giving sexist guys their own ideal women in terms of transgender women or the opposite; due to Transgenderism proving that sex/gender is a social construct or that the lines between sexes and genders is arbitrary making guys realize that less differences seen between sexes less sexism) , that won’t last long since we’d still have our male patriarchal /patriarchal system. 

Women cannot have true equality until we abolish the male patriarchy /patriarchy no matter how non sexist, sex/gender blind or pro women men are. 

Though in the 19th century or early to early mid 20th century Transgender women being more out (and either transgenderism giving sexist guys their own ideal women in terms of transgender women or the opposite; Transgenderism proving that sex/gender is a social construct or that the lines between sexes and genders is arbitrary)  could have given sexist men a false sense of security and caused less sexism toward women , long enough to pass the ERA in the 1960s/1970s/1980s (in the 1980s , as a kid I wanted the Equal Rights Amendment to be fused with Maternalistic Feminism ideology [Maternalistic Feminism is about creating a lot of new jobs and roles that women are uniquely qualified for] and then passed into law but when former President George HW Bush won over Michael Dukakis, that dashed my hopes for that modified ERA being passed)

But that ship had long sailed and we need to move forward instead of going backwards by destroying the male patriarchy/patriarchy to fix the root of the problem instead of using bandaids like Transgender women 

We cannot discount the feelings by some TERFs that (probably wrongly) say that Transwomen ‘appropriate’ women’s bodies and non intrusively ‘assault’ (ymmv) women by becoming a women merrily by cosmetic or a few mutalating changes. 

A case can be made (not my thoughts I am just reflecting others thoughts) that if we continue to allow Transgender women to ‘appropriate’ what it means to be a woman, we will be forever bound to this oppressive Male patriarchy/patriarchy where women will only get equity and parity instead of true freedom and equality. 

However, Transgenderism as noted above has positives to the feminist cause too which may override the negatives above .

A lot of people say that by biological men becoming Transgender women, they celebrating instead of objectifying or appropriating womanhood and that by men becoming Transgender women they are self-consciously critiquing their male privilege . So maybe that ‘appropriation’ is really celebrating. Transgenderism shows that that sexes and genders are a social construct and the differences between them are arbitrary

Furthermore you can look at Transgender women being a natural ally to cisgender women and the feminist movements since both cisgender women and transgender women are fighting for autonomy over their own bodies.

Still though, Transgender women NEED to help feminists not settle for equity and parity in our existing male patriarchal/patriarchal system . 

To do this Transgender women would need to be more visible, out and mainstream than they are now which would help sexist men look more positively toward women (cis and trans) by seeing women (cis and trans) through the prism of Transgenderism

Moreover, Transgender women would also have embrace using Gender voluntaryism to show sexist men that sex/gender is a social construct and arbitrary , blurring the lines between sexes and genders, while also

Both of these two methods would give sexist men a huge sense false sense of security and really cause men to be less sexist . This will help sexist men realize that women are adults who identity as the social construct that is associated with the female sex.

This will allow a brief window to implement gender acceleration which with so many genders being created it will make the logic of gender so broken it will naturally put a dent in the patriarchy/male patriarchy, allowing us feminists to then dismantle the patriarchy/male patriarchy completely

It’s the only way transgender women can integrate themselves into the feminist movement in the eyes of all TERFs for in their minds hindering my feminist goals. 

While fighting for trans rights are important and we should protect Transgender people from bigotry and being oppressed, fighting to end our inflation (see here for instance), and even for reigning in a Post Capitalist society where these inflations won’t happen in the first place and with income and gender equality, is more important at this time than endlessly fighting for Transgender rights since Transgender people aren’t revolutionary 

Though being non revolutionary isn’t bad, it is just a different role for people to take in ushering in a socialistic society , see these non revolutionaries who were helping to reign in a socialistic revolution in their unique non revolutionary way. Democratic Socialists are also non revolutionary and they are just as important to ushering in a socialistic society as Marxists and Anarchists are, as Democratic Socialists use Democratic methods to achieve this

A socialistic, Post Capitalist world will benefit Transgender people more than what they fight for now will. 

However I support Transgender people because I am Left Wing (including part Marxist Leninist) and thus I stand against all forms of bigotry and oppression. But I am class reductionist toward Transgender people (but I am not class reductionist toward gay people) 

I support NY’s new inclusive licenses and ids that use an X

The biological arguments against Transgenderism are eerily similar to scientific racism. We must not be scientifically racist , racist, scientifically transphobic or transphobic ever.

From Roar Mag

The very concept of “male” and “female” are western constructs, that ignore that other cultures have historically had different conceptions of gender.

More importantly, the concept of “biology” itself has been used and continues to be used to enforce not only transphobia but also racism. Human biology as we know it was founded by white colonists, and it pathologized race, framing it as genetic difference, in order to more easily subjugate non-white people.

“Science” in all contexts must be viewed critically, with an understanding of the perspectives through which it is viewed. There are countless examples of science being used to justify discrimination. Scientific racism has been used most often against Black people globally since the colonization of the American and African continents.

White people wielded the terminology of science as an “objective and rational” tool to justify slavery. They argued that enslaved Black people were inherently less human, that they had a “disease” that made them want to run away from enslavement. In 1994, The Bell Curve by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray claimed that Black Americans are naturally inferior because of lower IQ scores.

Transphobic pseudoscience can be seen in Janice Raymond’s The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male, a book that came out in 1979 but was reissued in 1994. In the book, Raymond claims that trans people psychologically and surgically reinforce gender stereotypes. She even goes as far as to argue — with no evidence — that trans-affirming surgeries were developed in nazi concentration camps.

Genny Beemyn explains that “for Raymond, transsexual women are not women but ‘castrated’ and ‘deviant’ men who were a creation of the medical and psychological specialties that arose… Ignoring centuries of gender nonconformity in cultures around the world, she erroneously considers transsexuality to be a recent phenomenon stemming from the development of genital surgeries.”

While TERFs today might not always use comparisons as extreme as Raymond, they do use the terminology of modern medicine to denounce gender nonconformity, disregarding long histories of people outside the western gender binary. Human biology, constructed by those in power and used to advance oppression, views the colonized and the enslaved as subjects to study, deviations from a white, cisgender norm

My views on the r/GenderCritical subreddit and Ovarit can be found here

I believe there might be some element of biological reality of being a man or woman, but as noted above, it is more complicated than that and more research is needed

I support the Man or Woman segment that used to be on the Maury show and I hope he brings those segments back

Some of my thoughts on the defunct r/gendercritical subreddit can be found here

This is from Roar Mag  Provides a good solution to decrease violence against Transgender women

Transmisogynistic violence is very real, and its rate is increasing. In 2018, 26 trans people were killed in the US, most of them Black women. Forbes Magazine reported that there were 331 recorded murders of trans people internationally — though the real number is likely much higher — over a one-year period between 2018 and 2019.

What’s more, TERFs are trying to exclude trans women from the very spaces where they could find refuge from abuse and assault. Forcing trans women out of women’s shelters and into men’s shelters or the streets will only put them in more danger of violence.

I am fine with Transgender people in the military, see this for more

However, Biological Cisgender Males have penises , Biological Cisgender females have breasts and vaginas. SCIENCE SAYS SO.

I am am against Cisphobia . I have been depressed and horrified like this rich petty bourgeois girl being Cisphobic and I have zero tolerance for that. She was wrong for being Cisphobic . I have dedicated my life to ending Cisphobis forever, no matter what

I can name as many genders as most students at Cal Berkeley can name

Personally, I am indifferent leaning not support for CHILDREN between 4 or 5 and 16 becoming Transgender , partly because I feel that they might be victims of bullying and discrimination by their peers if they become transgender that young.   

Personally, this view of mine, is to protect them from bullying, not to deny them their rights. But my other reasons are , let kids be kids. Kids aren’t old enough to vote, work full time or have real jobs, go to war, consent to sex, drive, but they can magically decide to change their gender and we are cool with this? really? 

If kids aren’t mature enough to do the above things why are they mature enough to change their gender? 

Why would some anti Transgender activists say that kids being Transgender is grooming if it wasn't grooming? This article has some good insight on this. It is very hard for me to even bend the knee to seeing little kids doing such harsh things their bodies to become a new gender. 

We need to have an open discussion about teenage girls who have extreme sexual trauma and eating disorders being over-diagnosed with gender dysphoria. 

This is not some transphobic rhetoric that people make up, this is a real phenomenon that plenty detransitioned women have experienced. 

They were in denial about the effect of their trauma on their relationships with their bodies, they confused with gender dysphoria, and often they were very pressured to transition by well meaning but overzealous therapists who told them that medical transition was the only option for them to be saved from suicide, and they all were universally left in a worse state due to the medical transition that made them hate their bodies even more and just further prevented them from addressing the roots of their emotional agony.

I just feel it's so concerning that people keep being accused of being transphobic for speaking about this. 

We have to stop unknowingly doing things which even give the appearance of sexualizing kids. 

But if denying kids puberty blockers or transgender medical care leads to their health suffering (and because it was never illegal for kids of any age to be Transgender in the US until the last few years), personally, I will stand down and somewhat condone kids whose health is suffering due to the above issues to get that help to fix their health issues while fully knowing that might involve them becoming Transgender (instead of me being indifferent leaning not support for that).  

Personally, I can stomach and maybe even strongly tolerate infants and toddlers (from newborn to 3 or 4 years of age) becoming transgender because that would mean those babies will not be forced to change their gender in school by activist teachers and be immune to what a vocal minority claim is ‘grooming’ and because being trans from that age onward is almost like they were born as the gender they changed to as an infant/toddler, so it feels more ‘natural’ .

Basically a lesser of two controversial practices . I would never allow my niece to be transgender at any age below 17

Legality wise, I am trying to abolish the state , hierarchies, the cisgender patriarchy, so I don’t need to state legality wise if before we abolish the state , hierarchies, the cisgender patriarchy, if I support children becoming Transgender between ages of 4 and 5 and 16 becoming Transgender (legality wise I lean support for infants and toddlers (from newborn to 3 or 4 years of age) becoming transgender even in our current cissexist, statist,hierarchy society)

Personally and legality wise I feel that children should get consent from their parents before becoming Transgender. However see this

Sarah Huckabee Sanders and similar Christian right politicians are wrong for being so rigid on the Transgender kids issue. At least I am creatively flexible on that issue, they however are unfortunately not

I am against woketard Nicola Sturgeon’s trans zealotry and I echo this article by Spike on that 

I am glad that Sweden is ending gender affirming care for youth. It is a positive move in the right direction 

I would like to clarify that recent modern science doesn’t support transitioning. Modern science does rightfully support a person’s choice to choose but not the actual act of transitioning. 

Specifically because of major black mail, threats and social media backlash on the scientific community for even contemplating it may be unhealthy.

This is very very common in child transitioning. 

We have evidence that proves that it is terrible for any person under the minimum age of 21 , with the recommended age for transitioning being 28 , to even contemplate hormonal therapy's or surgerys. 

The suicide rate is even more exorbitant in teenage girls due to the social pressures that are involved with how ‘normalized’ the LGBTQ society is that children think it is common to be transgender just because they feel different, when in reality it is really just puberty and growing up with social media etc

All in all the trans bans misses the point but do not  just believe something is good because a group of people vehemently say that it is good. 

I have no real issues with adults choosing to be whatever they want to be, but modern science does not support it. Modern science does not disclaim it out of courtesy but it does not agree with it either. This is a good compromise by science and shows they know how to properly handle sensitive social issues in an uplifting and non divisive way

There is NOTHING wrong or transphobic about a woman saying they are proud to be a woman. I fully support Adele's 2022 Brit Awards speech. Her speech was 100 percent positive and great.

I do not support gender neutral clothing replacing binary clothing at stores or by brands. I would highly prefer clothing stores (i.e like Walmart, Macy’s, Myer Australia, Dillard’s, Marshall’s, Kohl’s etc) and brands continuing to make and sell clothing by sex or gender like boy’s, girl’s, men’s, women’s until we abolish gender, (maybe sex), patriarchy (i.e male patriarchy) and cisgender patriarchy

I am apolitical on gender neutral clothes being labeled ‘gender neutral girls’, ‘gender neutral boys’, ‘ gender neutral women’, ‘gender neutral men’

I support gender acceleration so I am already an ally to non binary and gender non conforming people

But I downplay this gender neutral clothing hangup I have. Since unisex clothing was popular in the 1960s and 1970s , I won’t push this issue and focus on more important relevant issues instead

Here is my reaction/takes to/on some recent non binary in the news stories

I'm not entirely convinced that being nonbinary renunciates identity or essentialism; instead, I believe that it's predicated on fundamental misunderstandings that reinforce both identity and essentialism.

Like, let's say I go up to someone and I say to that person  "he walked into that store" to someone else when I am being asked as to said person's location. 

I've obtained some info from the person in question’s appearance, but did I assume something about essence in this case? I don't think that that type of statement is by itself a judgment of the interior status of said person, a declaration about the identity of that person, when instead, it’s how that person appeared to be conducting himself relative to the family of outward markers which I connect with "masculinity." In so much as I may believe that this person to be of a masculine identity, this assumption that I have is posterior to said associative process, but not anterior though, and supposing that there is ever any attention given to the individual’s inner life at all.

The assumptions behind "nonbinary" are used to reinforce the systems of markers that are already associated with the masculine and feminine and often to reduce masculinity and femininity to radical expressions - to stereotypes - just so nonbinary are distinct from them, as something more verbal than simply verbal. 

In a less abstract way, to declare masculine identity as not being a part of oneself , but being nonbinary, one has already believed that "masculine identity" has a bit of definitive interior content which one can offset in the first place, and that to identify oneself as a man is in need of some kind of this interior content to belong to one's sense of self either as a basic attribute, or an imagined self to which one has to conform in order to be able o possess the identity (or, oftentimes, both). 

Moreover, the content that was rejected is more than the use of pronouns but is involved with an array of stereotypes such as thinking, appearance, behavioral and so on marking the given gender. While these stereotypes existed before "nonbinary," the inferred exclusion of alternative non-stereotypical attributes to a not-masculine or not-feminine gender category leans on the narrowing of the gender identities to these sorts of stereotypes.

Or to put it another way, one wants you to know that masculinity has a kind of essence internal to it by way of the declaration of not belonging to this kind of an essence; nonbinary doesn't reject essentialism though it subtly is reliant on the ideas of gender essentiality so that it has meaning at all

I believe transgender women should not be allowed to get cervical cancer screenings since they don't have those organs and that transgender men should be allowed to get cervical and breast cancer screenings

It should not be a crime or a cancelable offense to dead name. Deadnaming dehumanizes Trans peoole and if I was Trans and dead named I would be triggered and go nuts, but that does not make dead naming a criminal act

I hope and pray that Transgender women will be able to become pregnant in the future as this article suggests. That would be so based . 

I support the VAWRA Act of 2012. to include actual or perceived sex/gender

There is no epidemic of violence against Transgender people. Transgender Wikipedia editors are lying in this article and I encourage people to delete any mention of epidemics against Transgender people from Wikipedia. Wikipedia (who is a racist site filled with pedophile admins like Boing said Zebedee and Ryan Bushby) exploited her death to push woke bullshit about Transgender people and that doesn’t fly with me at all

I have a half hearted triangulation position on whether Postgenderism should be used as a last ditch effort for sexual and gender liberation if nature keeps oppressing marginalized sexes and genders.

It is often said that the gender spectrum is a new gender prison

The solution is to abolish gender altogether. We do not need gender. We would be better off without it. Gender as a hierarchy with two positions . 

So I am a gender rebel and I support gender abolishment (I agree with that manifesto)

If anyone is to blame for oppressing genders and sexes it is nature. Postgenderism wants to abolish or seriously alter the gender binary, as such a arbitrary binary causes bigots to be repress people.  Postgenderism would abolish gender roles, but also to blur the line to the extreme between biological sexes by using biotechnology and neurotechnology. 

This would liberate sexists, cissexists, transsexists, transphobes etc from their bigotry since differences between genders sex wouldn’t exist. I have a half hearted triangulation position on all of that
