After everything you said in this post, with your realization that much of what you’d previously imbibed from the identity-gender agenda was a crock, I’m curious why you still define yourself with the transgender label. Can you say more?
I’m still against the identity-gender crock, which is precisely why i made this post. If “transgender” has a meaning (which it does) and it is “anyone who doesnt identify with their sex stereotype”, then i AM transgender, not “self-identify as”, and so are many other women who don’t self-identify as such. And those transgender women (and men) who have come to peace with their bodies, who are against transition, who are against the trans culture and gender rhetoric here, seem to be very much silenced, whether by lack of sharing or by pure, violent agression (i’ve seen it, many times over). And its a huge problem that no transgender resource on here (or anywhere) promotes detransitioner awareness, alternatives to transition, or is against children transitioning, because ~that’s just heresy~. And every transgender person ive heard from or talked to thinks such transgendered people dont exist, because “how could they!”. Hell, a good portion of the time, as soon as you are against the dominant trans culture, youre “not actually trans” or “were never trans”. They accuse us of gatekeeping, but what about this right here?? What is this other than???
I’m done with this identity politics bullshit, this arguing by “feels” instead of logic and semantics. They say i am transgender. I accept. But this means i get a voice. And thus this day is as much about my visiblity as everyone else’s.
Thank you for this. A really interesting perspective!
