What's Next?

 Thank you all for the support. I am able to see some things on Twitter, sometimes things I don't want to. (That's a topic for another post). I have not heard anything on my appeal yet. I heard that it's best to wait 10 days. I will keep following up. Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what direction I want to go in going forward. This is not my first Twitter break, altough it is the first one that I had no say in. What I learned the first time, is that it’s peaceful away from the Bird App. I’ve been more productive and it’s honestly been a mental relief. But I also know that I miss keeping up to date on the events of this debate (I’ve got a lot to say about Wi Spa and the protest). I also know that’s important for transsexuals like myself to offer opposing views to the “trans cult”, and it looks like a lot of people appreciate and enjoy my views. So, where do I go now, especially if I can’t get on Twitter again? I’m leaning towards a podcast. I enjoy writing this blog.

Transsexuals Will Not Be Silenced

 Presently I’ve been banned from Twitter. Ironically it’s not even for something I said. I noticed an unusual tweet in my notifications. It included a notorious racist statement from former president Trump. It was on a thread commenting about the Wi Spa situation and TW exposing male genitals to females. I assumed the comment was trying to make a comparison to Trump’s statement about Mexicans and mine about TW. I didn’t respond. A few hours later I get a notice that my account is suspended with an image of the tweet somehow coming from my account. I don’t know how, but this was somehow doctored. One difference I noticed is that on prior bans, the image of the offending tweet included the date and time. This image did not. As those on Twitter know, I try to stay polite to a fault sometimes. I have NEVER made a derogatory tweet about Mexicans or and racial/ethnic group. My account is focused 99% on trans issues and the gender debate. I have appealed the ban, but who knows how long the re

"It's only One" TW in Women's Sports Pt. 1

 "It's only one TW, it's not like they are dominating women's sports." This is one of the current talking points about TW in women's sports. More specifically right now, it's referring to New Zealand powerlifter Laurel Hubbard who is preparing to compete in the 2021 Olympics. I've criticized both the policies allowing TW to compete in women's sports as well as Hubbard herself. My criticisms of each though are different. I will not call Laurel Hubbard a cheater. She is competing under rules and guidelines that allow her to do so. I will however criticize her decision to compete. THAT is fully on her. Knowing a rule is unfair, and still using it for your personal gain does not make you a good person. Hubbard continuing to compete in women's sports is being selfish.  "But it's only one! She's the first even though TW have been allowed to compete since 2004!" What most leave out of this is that the rules in 2004 were much stricter

"Transwoman" is ALSO not a Feeling

Responding to a comment about TW in the world of The Handmaid's Tale, I questioned how many men would choose to transition if they knew that it meant certain death. Even in the real world, how many would transition if it truly meant giving up male privilege or entering a society that was more restrictive of women than most Western countries are. Would you still transition if it meant you couldn't have a job? A bank account? An education? If you had to be property of another male relative until you were married to a man and then became his property? I was told there would still be transwomen, they just wouldn't transition. I've frequently said that you aren't a TW if you don't transition. But for some reason this was my "Aha!" moment. Of course I've heard women say that "Being a woman isn't a feeling". I've agreed with it many times. But for the first time it finally hit me: They think being a transwoman is ALSO just a feeling. No

The Erasure Continues

Part of this will be familiar to those that read my first post about my transition from TRA to "TERF", but I feel this needs to be said more. Part of why I stand with women and not the "trans community" is that I feel the "community" is trying to erase me too. The "trans community" want to erase women by making the word "woman" mean whatever they want it to mean, and not "adult human female". Do you have to be female to be a woman? "No! Stop reducing women to their biology!" Do you have to medically transition to be a woman? "No! Stop gatekeeping!" Do you have to present in a way that people expect of someone who is a woman? "No! Women can be women however they want! Butch women are women you bigot!" So what makes someone a woman? "They identify as a woman!" So what are they identifying as? "A woman! Why don't you understand you transphobe!" At this point I usually pass out

Long Overdue Apology to the Lesbian Community

 As I've stated before, the views I hold now are not the ones I held a few years ago. I've grown, apologized and hopefully moved on to a healthier viewpoint. However there are some things I'd like to specifically apologize for now. I want to apologize for statements I made in relation to a women's event I attended early in my transition. To be clear, this particular event was inclusive of transwomen, as long as the transwoman was "living full-time as a woman", Also, while the event was predominantly for lesbian and bisexual women, it was not exclusive to women of those sexualities. I did not attend with the intention of anything sexual happening, nor did it. Perhaps you could say that I wanted to attend for "validation", but mainly I just was looking for an event that I could attend to replace the gay men events I was no longer allowed to be a part of. Would I attend this event again in the future, probably not, but I might. I am supportive of events

"Trans" Youth Suicides: Do We Know the Truth?

The warning is sounded often and loudly. "If you don't let your 'trans child' transition, they will possibly kill themselves.", "Would you rather have a live daughter or a dead son?", "Over 40% of 'trans' kids attempt suicide." Pretty scary stuff, right? All of this is used to support the idea that children should be allowed to socially and medically transition. After all, we don't want children to suffer, and we certainly don't want them dying. Only a complete monster would advocate for the death of children, and you're not a monster, are you? Let's look at some numbers. The Trevor Project did a 2020 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health . This survey had 40,000 respondents age 13-24 who "identified" as either 1 of over 100 sexualities that was not "heterosexual" or 1 of over 100 gender identities that was not "cisgender", or both (Side note: WTF!) I could not find a breakdown of LGB
