Well, I am not convinced there is a such thing as "anti-trans bigotry" that keeps "everyday trans people" from having rights and housing, etc. We all have rights. No one really cares if a few people have a psychological/mental disorder (there is no internal gender fairy) and want their pals to call them girls. The issue is insisting that all of society bend in every which way including language to indulge this inner feeling. I do agree that this swimmer is bringing attention to an activist agenda - that activists probably do not want. Much has been changed (in law, medicine, and education) "on the down low" and now that people are gaining awareness there is push back. But, the push back is not against people. It is against the cult ideology.
thanks for the links. This is actually something I've done a deep dive on long ago, way back when Singal first started reporting on Dr Zucker and I've read Blanchard as well as Zucker. Then Benjamin Boyce did an extremely extensive video series... all this preceded "when Harry became Sally" and "Irreversible Damage" by 5 years. I'm well equipped with resources.
I think there will always be bigots getting in the way of easy living regardless of who you are but we agree that for the gender dysphoric the so called anti-trans bigotry is largely a red herring. If I don't want to play along with their game it is not going to stop them from working, buying food and being housed. We basically agree on the fundamentals here.
Good to hear. Our family was pushed into the deep end around 2018 but the grooming of our daughter started earlier, we just were not aware of it. Who expects this evil? I recall reading Singal that summer on a remote vacation as we tried to get our child away from the groomers - an incredibly difficult thing to do in this internet day and age.
I do not believe this "bigot" thing. It is a slur that is yelled at anyone who does not go along with the cult. It is the reason mothers go along with this when their daughters never showed any discomfort before they were taught to have it/the cult religion. It is key for activists to get adults to go along with this in order to capture the young. I totally agree that the tiny number of innately confused - mostly adult men - are not going to go without housing if their buddies call them "girls" and they wear dresses - or whatever. No one cares! But, perhaps that is the problem for the narcissist subset?
I firmly believe GD can be induced (nature AND nuture) We are witnessing a massive runaway trend /mass psychosis. The fake consensus in APA is the same fallacy that drove the McMartin Daycare hysteria. I'm glad you are on the ball here. Sorry to hear what you went through.
Thx. I completely agree with you. Glad you mentioned McMartin. It is a runaway mass psychosis. Were you aware that Satanic Panic Diane is also a key player in the current craze? She is infamous among people who have their eyes open for saying that teen girls who regret their "chest affirming surgery" can simply "get new breasts" so it's no big deal. The kids are taught that "trans" is "every day" and it is only "bigoted" parents who might have concern/not celebrate. Now, Time Magazine is on board.
PRESCHOOL CHILD SEX ABUSE: The Aftermath of the Presidio Case
Diane Ehrensaft Ph.D.
First published: April 1992
"Abstract
A case study is presented of girls who were among the preschool victims of sexual abuse linked to occult rituals that occurred at the Presidio Army Base Child Development Center. Components of the trauma, together with its effects on the victims and their families, are investigated, and implications for the mental health profession are discussed."
I am DISGUSTED with the APA among other institutions. This mama bear has had to dive into the Boyce, Zucker, Blanchard, etc. and no thanks to all those respected authorities out there. They ought to hang up their hats and salaries and go home. And "Satanic" turned "Chest Affirming" Diane ought to be in jail.
The biggest danger to trans people is not anti-trans bigotry. Though many gender activists pretend straight white male bigots are responsible for anti-LGBTQ crimes there are many articles in Quillette or by Andy Ngo that break down all the violent crime, including homicides, by perpetrator. The are uniformly fights within the same group, basically LGBTQ on LGBTQ violence and violence committed in the illegal drug acquisition.
The even larger threat to trans people, and it's not even close, is suicidality. The reduction of Trans Suicidality is the current medical justification used to force society to accept all variants of transition therapy. The logic of the current "experts" accepting XY as XX is necessary to stop trans people from committing suicide. This theory of theirs is based on unverifiable data and faulty conclusions but just FYI. Be clear they will accuse you of increasing suicides if you don't accept every single one of their demands to "accept" trans people into whatever gendered activity they chose to partake in.
I agree. And, "trans people" includes the tiny number of people with an innate mind body confusion (of which there are a number of flavors) and a much larger cohort of teens - especially teenage girls who are uncomfortable in any number of ways- and encouraged to "be their authentic selves/trans/self harm".
Of course we'll never know if those suicides were the result of not indulging their delusions (as the trans activists would have us believe) or not having their condition treated by a competent mental health professional. It's interesting how the learned Left has deemed medical intervention as transphobic.
While bigotry is a boogeyman used to fundraise, the much bigger threat trans activists use is suicide. The central medical premise used to force society to accept trans people as whatever they chose to be is that if you don't use the proper pronouns and let them paritipate in all gendered activities then it impeded social transition therapy and increases the likelihood they will kill themselves. This is based on bogus studies with questionable conclusions but just know that suicide is the threat they will leverage against you should you disagree with "the therapy"
Regarding the "bigotry". Trans activists will never admit 99.99% of violence committed against LGBTQ people is in fact LGBTQ on LGBTQ violence. Read the Quillette or Andy Ngo articles on trans homicides. None of the yearly homicides are based in anti-trans bigotry. It's all infighting among the same group of high risk trans substance abusers and sex workers.
This is such an important perspective! Thanks for bringing this up. I absolutely agree with you.
