“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” (Voltaire). Welcome to the trans ideology movement which encourages medical experimentation on children & thinks male-bodied people should be in women's sports, prisons, hospital wards & changing rooms.

Many who know me are puzzled by my position on gender ideology. It's simple.I've been a lifelong (nearly 50 yr) feminist & lesbian activist.This is the biggest threat to women's rights in my lifetime.Trans ideologues are attempting to literally erase the sex-based class "woman."

Just to be very clear: men having the mental health issue of gender dysphoria and/or the sexual fetish of autogynephilia is not a civil rights issue. Women being deprived of safety, privacy and fairness by those men is a civil rights issue.

From its inception, I questioned adding "T" to "LGB" as one had nothing to do with the other. It never made logical sense. But I let it go. After all, "transsexuals" were a very small cohort and I had no issue with people with gender dysphoria pursuing treatment.

Do you ever wonder why there is no male equivalent for "Terf?" Do you ever wonder why there isn't a big issue about women identifying as "trans" playing on mens' teams?" Do you ever wonder why most of the trans ideologue vitriol comes from men at women? See e.g.JK Rowling.Answer:

Now, the vast majority of men identifying as "trans" are straight men with autogynephilia, they derive sexual pleasure from thinking of themselves as women. We used to call this "cross-dressing."
120
367
3K
Women's prisons, changing rooms and bathrooms have been historically single sex for reasons of safety and privacy. Over 97% of sexual crimes are committed by men. Since women cannot tell the predators by looks alone, single sex spaces are intended to promote safety.

I came out as a lesbian at age 16 in the mid-1970s and I've been an "out" lesbian since then. Indeed, I was expelled from my first college dorm for being gay and I've been called "queer," a slur, more times that I count.

That is why most men identifying as "trans" don't get or seek surgery (over 90%). They are fully intact straight males.

I've been an out lesbian for nearly 50 years. I could never have imagined a time when saying lesbians aren't attracted to male bodies, & don't have male bodies, is considered "hate speech." And apparently now we eject lesbians from Pride events for such speech.

Men who identify as "trans" have committed murders (see e.g.Dana Rivers) and rapes (see e.g. Stephen Hayes). Men identifying as trans have been transferred to women's prisons and committed multiple sexual assaults.

People suffering with genuine gender dysphoria-that is a persistent lifelong feeling of being the other sex-deserve respect, privacy, and treatment if sought. Trans people are not the same as trans ideology. Just as gay people are not the same as "queer theory."

When women speak out in an effort to preserve their rights whether for safety, privacy or fairness (sports), they are subject to vicious attacks often accompanied by death threats (see. e.g. JK Rowling).

Hormone blockers are NOT medically approved for children identifying as trans. Their use is experimental.
14

Trans issues are confusing for people on the left because they mistake the small number of people with genuine gender dysphoria with trans ideologues who empower men with sexual kinks & pose the greatest threat to women's and children's rights in our lifetime.

While the effects of hormone blockers may be reversible in the sense that when stopped, the hormones will start up again, the effects of the "pause" on children and adolescent bodies may be damaging and permanent, affecting bone and brain development and fertility.

"Trans" used to mean "transexual"- a very small group of people (mostly men) who suffered from a lifelong sense of gender dysphoria and sought medical remedies (hormones and surgery) to relieve their suffering.

Note that most of the accusations of transphobia are directed at women who seek to preserve same-sex spaces and rights-there is even a word for it "TERF."

Trans ideology poses a danger to children and young people who are taking "off-label" hormones and undergoing surgery.

Many children and adolescents grow out of feelings of being "trans." But surgery (most often done on young girls in the form of double mastectomies) is quite permanent. Remember, boys and men usually keep their genitals fully intact.
23

2K
Trans ideologues have also done damage to the gay community. They have attacked gay people calling them transphobic for refusing to date people with opposite sex genitals. They have brought down, among other things, Boston Pride and the Michigan Women's Music Festival.

243

But then, over the past decade, this small cohort has become an ideological mob, threatening the foundation of women's sex-based rights, threatening the health and well-being of children with unnecessary surgeries and experimental medications, and threatening gay rights.

But what I realized over time is that there is no there, there. The Emperor has no clothes. "Trans" ideology is a regressive and dangerous social contagion steeped in misogyny and gender stereotypes.

If you want to search for it (but I recommend you don't), men identifying as "trans" have filmed and published all sorts of porn with the setting of women's rest rooms.

But I would never have believed it then (I barely believe it now) that in 2022: a) straight men would "identify" as lesbians b) lesbians would be called "transphobic" for not wanting to sleep with them and c) "queer" would be considered appropriate as a descriptor of gay people.

Trans ideology is a men's rights movement. From it's earliest days a primary goal was to invade women's spaces. Men identifying as "trans" protested their exclusion from the Michigan Women's Music Festival which has been a safe & joyful environment for lesbians for 4 decades.
42

When they hear "trans" a lot of people on the left imagine the former meaning of trans-someone truly suffering from lifelong gender dysphoria. So, of course, they sympathize. But "trans" doesn't mean that anymore.

Of course, there still are a small number of people with serious body dysphoria. They should have access to medical and mental health services to relieve their suffering. But the movement/cult that has been built on the backs of those individuals must be exposed and stopped.

By the way, one of the "trans" leaders of the Michigan Women's Music Festival protests, Dana Rivers, later murdered two lesbians and their son. And some wonder why women want to exclude men, however they identify, from women-only spaces.

They do not understand the implications of "self-id" and the reality that most men identifying as "trans women" do not suffer from body dysphoria but rather autogynephilia, a sexual kink (f/k/a cross-dressing).

Unfortunately, this ideology/theology is a social contagion. It is rapidly being incorporated into law and policy (including language requirements). Sadly, its incorporation into educational policy means a generation of children are being raised on it.

Just a note that the pronouns everyone is increasingly performing are not their 1st person pronouns (the ones the person uses about themselves), they are 3rd person pronouns & are a request/requirement that other people use them. I don't do compelled speech. I enjoy free speech.

The very idea of being "trans" means discomfort with one's biological body. Children are already incredibly vulnerable to body image issues. Selling them "trans" (or "non-binary") ideology as a trendy alternative will only increase that kind of dangerous self-hatred.

As noted, I started on this with road with an open mind seeking to learn as much as possible. That has led me to the inescapable conclusion that "trans ideology" is a dangerous cult-like, theology posing grave harm to women, children & gay people.

At first, my instinct was to be open and listen, especially when so many of my friends, colleagues and neighbors seemed to embrace "trans" ideology. I read as much as I could (from all perspectives) and talked in depth with people who identify as "trans" and "non-binary."

Of course, when people speak up, they are targets of the ideological mob. See e.g. J.K. Rowling (and so many others). But speak up we must. Whether it is an oped, a court case, a school committee meeting, or one-on-one conversations.

Twitter censorship reminds me so much of the Cultural Revolution. Twitter says you cannot say that an athlete like Lia Thomas is a male-bodied person (I was suspended for that) but Twitter says it's fine to say "I hope you get hit by a bus" or "I wish you were dead."

As noted, women (& young girls) identifying as trans are far more likely to have major surgery (e.g.double mastectomies). This is beyond troubling. But women identifying as trans don't pose a great threat to women's spaces or women's sports. Most of the trans ideologues are men.

Trans ideology really comes down to The Emperor’s New Clothes. Most people know the truth but are cowed into silence in the face of political power and peer pressure. But some, and this amazes me, just disregard their eyes and mind and become true believers, impervious to fact.

A friend said her 10 yr. old son has a "trans" teacher & 25% of the class IDs as "trans" or "non-binary." Some say "what's the harm." The harm is that these children are being taught to disown or reject their bodies and many will seek dangerous medical intervention.

Men believing or pretending they are women is not a civil rights issue. It is a mental health issue and/or sexual fetish. Treating it as a civil rights issue infringes on the genuine and important civil rights of women, children and gay people.
