I never lost friends when I 'came out' as transsexual, I lost friends when I started to police their speech and expected them to ignore reality.
Your friends are not pushing you away, you are pushing them away with gender ideology nonsense.
Being a transsexual, it's difficult to not feel a personal level of shame for what trans activists are doing. We are lumped in with this mess if we like it or not, but some of choose to speak out against it.
@OliLondonTV
You tried to transition yourself Korean, and when that didn't make you happy, you blamed a demographic you have never been part of.
One hell of a grift, Oli.
I dislike my penis, but let me quickly whip it out on live TV and whack it on a musical instrument, while telling women that I'm better than them with a song I've created.
Letting go of affirmation and trans ideology was the best thing I ever did for my dysphoria.
I feel more free now than I ever did while I was buying into it.
I am a biological male living as a woman, and that's fine.
I've just been removed from a livestream for referring to myself as a transsexual instead of transgender.
The more I listen to trans activists speak, the more I realise that the only thing they really care about is control.
I think that the majority of people who call themselves 'trans allies' are probably good, kind people, who have spent too much time listening to non-binary trans activists on Twitter, and not enough time talking to dysphoria diagnosed transsexuals.
Trans people are human, therefore, we have human rights. You're going to need to start being more specific, as I don't really understand the rights I'm supposedly missing?
If somebody told me, five years ago, that this is what trans activism would like look like half a decade later, I'd have probably rolled my eyes and laughed it off.
I remember walking up to the Mermaids table when they were at Manchester Pride a few years ago. I asked what they did and the not-so-lovely person behind the table told me that they weren't willing to talk to me because I'm not a child.
When 'trans' became something that anybody at all can simply identify as, it lost all credibility and started the process of erasing what it actually means to be a transsexual.
Those contributing to the erasure claim they're doing what's best for 'trans' people, and they are,
If you haven't been professionally diagnosed with a neurodivergent disorder, it would be super nice if you could go ahead and stop claiming you have one.
One thing I've noticed since I started posting here, is that the people who are most likely to call somebody else a bigot, are also the mostly like to *be* a bigot.
@ejrosetta
Hi, EJ.
I am a transsexual, with all the right diagnoses from actual doctors and specialists.
Trans activism has become regressive and damaging to transsexual people over the last few years, to the point of pushing some of us backwards due to safety concerns.
Starting to think trans activists just like defending things people would normally disapprove of. There's no love for the cause, only love for the attention and the drama.
I'm glad you and yours have started to be honest about what being 'trans' means to you. It's a belief system, an ideology. Believe you're trans, and you are. No other requirement, and if anybody questions that belief system, they're inherently transphobic.
I don't 'identify' as trans, I'm trans because I'm diagnosed with (trans)sexualism and GID. It isn't an identification, it's a description, and in my case, a diagnoses.
I identify as Alexis (on the tweety app, at least), a human, an individual.
I've never shared this because I was worried it'd earn me another suspension, but here's the 'violent' tweet that I was suspended for a while ago and forced to delete if I wanted to keep my profile.
@SharkieFergal
Most of it is based around a selfish, self-serving need for validation, rather than it being for the wider benefit of transgender people.
@detransaqua
You made the choice to transition, but there isn't an ounce of responsibility in your entire post. How do you expect to heal if you're unwilling to take responsibility for your own choices and actions?
Psst. It's totally possible for women to be terrible people too. Being terrible isn't exclusively a male thing. Some people are terrible, most are not. 🤨
A NOTE FOR PARENTS: If your child tells you they are transgender, you have two choices:
1. have a trans child
2. have a dead child
It really is that simple - for so many of us, the ability to live authentically is a matter of life & death.
I implore trans women to say out loud that lesbians are NOT being transphobic when we say we do not include anyone with a penis in our dating pool.
Trans voices could clear this up very fast. They have this power and I really hope they use it 🤞
Respect goes both ways.
Please?
I won't pretend that I haven't witnessed an overwhelming amount of support for transsexual people from those we are told would line us up against a wall recently.
While the 'bigots' and 'transphobes' are showing support, those wrapped in pink, blue, and white flags are telling
@KatyMontgomerie
What would you call somebody who tells children that puberty blockers will make them cool and popular?
Why on earth would I ever support medically transitioning a child? Children are not lab rats and shouldn't be treated as such. Medical transition for children is experimental.
@prideukorg
You became transphobic the very minute you started to support 'trans' as a self-identification, rather than a medical diagnosis. You became homophobic the minute you suggested that lesbians are bigots for excluding those of the opposite sex from their dating pool.
@DragStoryHourUK
@EmmaTurner12
What on Earth is 'queer joy', though, and why do children need to see drag shows? What do you think it achieves?
Lots of questions, not many answers. Leave kids alone.
I've lost followers since posting a pro-trans tweet, which is fine. I've tried to be as open about my position as possible since I started posting here, I knew I'd rattle cages on all sides of the gender debate. I think most of my followers know that by now.
Trans people want to be parents and have families too. That shouldn't be so surprising.
If the children are loved and well taken care of, I don't see an issue.
@cervixen
The same amount as a woman can teach a trans woman about being a trans woman. Absolutely nothing. I don't see why the difference is such a problem for people who do everything they can to be different.
I can't teach you about being a woman because I am not one. It's that simple.
@limewire
@MrBeast
Wait, you still exist? During my early teens I accumulated over 36,000 viruses from using Limewire. I held the record in my local PC world for a long time. Never again. 😂
One of the most defining 'peak' moments for me was a man on a morning TV show, claiming he wakes up and decides which gender he wants to be each morning, and expects everybody to bend to that. I'll see if I can find the clip later, it's a wild ride.
It's homophobic to call a lesbian transphobic for refusing to sleep with a male, regardless of how that male identifies.
It shouldn't even be a debate.
Just scrolled by a trans streamer who was blocking everybody who didn't have the transgender flag in their name/bio. How insecure must you be to do something like that?
Almost all of these 'transgender umbrella' images I have seen also include crossdressers and transvestites.
Crossdressers and transvestites are not even remotely in the same fish tank as those of us suffering with gender dysphoria.
Stop painting us with the same brush.
I still don't have a side in the gender debate. What I have is my own views and values, nothing more.
If I offend a trans activist, so what? If I offend a gender critical person, so what?
I spent too long caring about offending everybody, so now I don't care about offending
This person thinks gender critical people want me dead, too. It must be so miserable living that kind of life, where everybody who disagrees with you must want you to stop existing.
I think some people on here are struggling to decide if they want men in feminine clothing/GNC men to be normalised, or mocked. It's one or the other, take your pick.
@BuckAngel
@jk_rowling
Virtue signalling matters more to them than anything else. They get to walk away from any damage they cause. It isn't them who need to clean it up.
I bring truth and an authentic experience. One which doesn't revolve around being the centre of attention.
The only thing you've done for trans-liberation is set it back 30 years.
I'm not part of your cult, but call it a community if you prefer the sugarcoating.
So very bored of non-binary/nonsense voices being the loudest in trans activism, even debating topics with them seems pointless, we are not the same, they do not understand transsexualism, or real *not self diagnosed* dysphoria.
