I lay bare the most personal & private details of my life & psychology to anyone who reads it, not because I want to but because a dangerous insanity has taken root & it’s relying on obfuscation of “trans identity” into something sacred & unknowable. It’s not.

I’m seeing trans referred to as “the biggest medical scandal of our lifetime”. I think it’s the biggest medical scandal in human history (& I’m not one for dramatics). Think about it, we are trying to change the sex of children in the name of a brand new religion. We know better.

I’m 90% sure medical science will reveal gender dysphoria to be a “software” problem, not a “hardware” problem.
Carving up hardware (sex transition) to solve a software (psychological) problem will eventually be deemed unsustainable and unethical.

I’ve been asked why I don’t detransition since I no longer believe the ideology & have unpacked a lot of what led to transition. The answer is transition relieved my dysphoria. I can’t articulate the relief. Even though I know I’m not a man, I’m so comfortable to “live” as one.

I’m trans. It’s not magic or a gift. it’s exogenous hormones & elective surgery. It relieved my dysphoria, I don’t regret it. But let’s not pretend it’s a beautiful gift to feel so uncomfortable in your own skin you feel compelled to hormonally & surgically alter a healthy body.

The term “Orwellian” is so often evoked in these instances it feels overdone, but there’s no better way to describe this. In this case, you can’t speak the problem, therefore the problem doesn’t exist.
In a library ffs.

The fact that most trans people are heterosexual relative to their sex butdemand to be viewed as “gay” members of the opposite sex is an affront to actual homosexuality. Not only is it appropriation, it’s in direct conflict w/ the reality of same sex attraction.

Please understand most left leaning women think of Dylan types when they think of transwomen. They don’t think they’re “inviting foxes into the henhouse”, they think they’re inviting their effeminate gbf who might get beat up by homo/transphobe apes in the men’s room.
Notice that no men in the crowd clap for Dylan. Only the woke women do. They’re the hens inviting foxes into the hen house. 🦊

What does Gender Critical (GC) mean to me?
I don't believe one can 'feel' like the opposite sex or that an internal sense of self is paramount to physical reality. Hence GC.
I believe gender dysphoria is real. I have it. Having it does not make me [a female] male. Hence GC.

Male GD is different in presentation & resolution depending on type.
GD in gay males usually RESOLVES with puberty.
GD in hetero males usually BEGINS with puberty.
Yet those medicalized prior to puberty are the 1st type, at the urging of activists of the 2nd type.
Why?

I have no empirical data to support this but from what I’ve observed I think most females who transitioned in the last ~7 years did not transition to be men, they transitioned to be “trans”.

Radical feminist takes of gender as a social construct are naive to me. As if we aren’t sexually dimorphic mammals, intent on procreation. Many seem to believe the sexes are born blank slates but society teaches males to be sexually aggressive & females to be gentle/cooperative.

Trans man here. Being trans (or identifying as non-binary) is entirely a choice. Dysphoria isn’t a choice, but using medicine or just language in an attempt to opt out of your sex is 100% a choice.

1. The term "biological women" implies that trans men and non-binary are choosing to be trans and non-binary. That is profoundly incorrect.
