I'm the "Trans Black Hawk Pilot" you heard about. Among other mediocre things. Jew in training. I quote stand-up comedy more than original thoughts.
Joined February 2025
A couple months ago @BretWeinstein and I discussed why normie everyday trans people were not standing up to the radical trans activists. he, along with others as I was thrust into the spotlight, helped show me the serious need for moderate trans voices. Listen to the entire

@AckTeacher You can serve as a diabetic. And with blood pressure meds and even while going through cancer treatment. It’s almost like people don’t have a fkng clue.

It wasn’t about being trans. It was about finding a way to continue serving effectively, honestly, and without the symptoms of gender dysphoria. I’ve been asymptomatic since transitioning. Sure is nice doing my job without that distraction. No, transition is not a cure all. No it

@TaxdocRice I’m pretty fit. Can fly for the airlines. Pass all my mental health evals. Can conceal carry a firearm. Never had my weapon taken away while serving. Can deadlift nearly 2x my body weight. Which part of me is not fit?.

There are two sexes: male and female. There are physical variations to this known as intersex. There are also brain variations to this. Some males and females develop a persistent discomfort with their sex and it’s often accompanied by a desire to live as the opposite sex. We.

As a trans person, I’ve learned radical trans activists are not really trans. They should identify as ass/holes.
The fact that transgender activists are so overrepresented in violent terror attacks (school shootings, destabilizing street riots, arson against Teslas) gives you a window into why the CIA (sorry, "USAID") sponsors and supports so many transgender network nodes around the world.

Thank you for the conversation. I really enjoyed it!.
The Army has now banned trans recruits. Think the issue is simple? I did, but this conversation caused me to rethink it. @JoEllisReally is the Blackhawk pilot falsely reported to have been on the helicopter that hit the jet in D.C. Hear her out.

It’s trans day of visibility. My first one being fully out and visible. I’d rather not be visible. There’s no shortage of visibility in how trans people are being treated. No shortage in the extremes on both sides making us the ping pong ball that gets smacked from one side to.

Too strong for sports, not strong enough for the military. Can be arrested for showing my breasts and also be put in jail as a man. Accused of being a predator, while also being stalked as prey. I still love and serve my country, even when it doesn’t love me back.

Thousands of us are being purged from the military without regard to readiness, cost, or experience. People sent home from deployments, command positions vacated without replacements, and no plan to recoup qualified personnel. You can’t shortcut a decade+ of military experience.

“I want to fit into western binary society. I don’t want to change society to fit me.” As a trans person who identifies in the binary space and wants to integrate into existing society, this makes sense to me. What comes to mind after reading this?.

@BriannaWu If this reporting is true, it’s disgusting. As a trans person I’d be so upset if I was forced to change in front of people or people were forced to be near me when I changed. I’ve always gone into bathroom stalls or single use bathrooms for this reason. Even as a kid before.

Gun regulation only hurts law abiding gun owners. Bathroom regulation only hurts law abiding women (and trans women). The best defense for a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. The best defense for a predator in a bathroom is a tr*nny like me with a gun 😂.

Laura and Brianna are on to something. There has to be a reasonable debate on how to provide safe guardrails during a transition process. My therapist often told me that I can hop off the transition train at any point and normalized the idea that each intervention available might.
The goal of serious trans policy is to get the regretful and resentful detransitioner rate to ZERO. Some people are always going to have a change of heart, or realize that transition is not right for them. But there is a role for slowing the roll of people who are more likely.

@megynkelly Megyn, you were a lawyer. Did you even listen to the hearings or read the docs submitted? DOJ couldn’t provide evidence trans people impact the military in a negative way. They cited studies that instead said the opposite. They didn’t read the documents they cited in their brief.

Self ID is when the transition train went off the rails. Self ID and informed consent made my transition significantly easier, which is great if you are really trans. But I still think there should be more guardrails. Being trans should not be a social identity, it’s a medical.
From transsexuality to gender diversity. Hacking’s looping theory as an explanation for the sharply increasing number of adolescents seeking gender affirming medical care. Over the past decade there has been a surge in the number of young people seeking medical treatment to

@elonmusk It’s not a crazy suggestion to think people likely to commit a crime would also exploit society’s mechanisms to get advantage or to commit more crimes. Or are we going to trust a criminal to be truthful when it comes to being trans at face value?.

Good news! I can keep serving for a little while longer. They couldn’t demonstrate transgender service members cause harm by continuing to serve during the appeals process. Just like they couldn’t demonstrate we cause harm during all the court hearing that led to the injunction.

I told my team that I’m not afraid of appearing on right wing media. I’d actually prefer it because it’s the audience folks like me need to reach. It’s telling that 0 right wing media have been interested in my story. It’s a trans story that doesn’t fit their narrative.
