In the past couple of days a brand spanking new guy showed up on Bilerico to educate all us poor dumb broads about transness. Naturally this arrogant bastard isn’t trans anything and he even claims to be straight begging the question exactly why is he blogging on a gay male oriented blog in the first place and what possible interest could he have in “saving private parts….er trannys”?

The conversation was interesting to say the least. As part of the conversation I dragged up some of the things that transgender people have done to me personally over the years for daring to speak my truth and came to the realization they are terrorists in the exact meaning of the word. Not misguided, not misunderstood….terrorists that used terrorist tactics on me for more than a decade for the specific purpose of keeping me from speaking those truths and others like me speaking up.

Consider this an extension of Ten Lies About Transsexuality.

Bare ass facts: Classic transsexuality is a medical condition, specifically a neurological natal one that causes an individual to be born with a central nervous system opposite the apparent birth sex. What it is not is an “identity”. Woman is an identity, man is an identity, gay or lesbian is a sub-set identity. Trans anything is an identity. Transgender, specifically is a sex identity, one in opposition to either male or female. It is this that sets apart those born with a birth condition, a medical condition and those who claim a separate sexual identity. Now I suppose it’s entirely possible to be born with classic transsexuality and go for the third gender option, but like so called “normborns” that would be a rather small percentage of the time.

So, think I’m full of it? Language choice often reflects the inner psychological landscape and in the past couple of years the buzz words among transgender identified people are cis-woman, cis-man, cis-gender and cis-sexual. All these words were coined for one specific reason, to other those with transgender identities from those comfortable with sex, gender and being a man or being a woman. Other, third, different. And the trannys lapped up these words, embraced them with a speed I’ve never witnessed in a long lifetime before for new terminology which usually takes years and years to reach this level of usage. And use them they do…as weapons.

All this reveals very clearly the identity nature of “transgender”. The other nature of it as an identity to woman or man because otherwise the words cis-woman and cis-man would not be needed at all, or at least not used to set up an oppression category. This is Butlerianism gone wild (video anyone?)

Perhaps it now becomes clearer that placing people, against their express personal identities, into this transgender identity for whatever reason is essentially defamation? Call a transgender “woman” a man and they literally go ballistic. Anatomy doesn’t matter, clothing does!…or personal ‘mood’! (if you are new to transworld this must seem insane to you, trust me, it does to me too.)

Ok, try this one then. You are born with a medical condition, you get it fixed. At no time are you unsure if you are male or female, just you have an anatomy problem you finally get settled and wish nothing more than to now get on with your life. Your identity regarding sex (category) and gender identity (sense of yourself as male or female) is a settled issue. Along comes a group that tells you in no uncertain terms you don’t get to be a woman or man..you are what they say you are, this third category “transgender”. Hun? Where the hell do they get off with this is probably going to be your reaction. But wait, it gets worse. They don’t just tell you this, they actively promote this idea in the larger world, try to get it enshrined in law, do get it somewhat enshrined by intimidation into language definitions! Tell people it is defaming to not call you that and get a larger group (GLAAD) to actually back them up on this who exerts social pressure to enforce it!

That, my dear, is defamation. A textbook example of it. Now complain about this, try to tell others it’s wrong and it’s enforced with active terrorist tactics like trying to disrupt your ability to earn a living, communications with others and in extreme cases such as happened to me, credible death threats, turned into Homeland Security as a terrorist, magazine bombed for two years with subscriptions to hundreds of magazines you didn’t want, and finally ending with an open attempt to leave you homeless by driving you from y9ur home with constant, 24/7 verbal and physical abuse! That is terrorism. Doing these things to an individual doesn’t reach the level of terrorism but doing these things to make damn sure a message is sent to others does.

And if you still don’t get why I’m pissed beyond belief about this, consider one last thing. The public at large only has a few images of what “transgender” is. Stu Rassmusen, the “transgendered” mayor who tells everyone he is a man who wears dresses, is transgendered and has obscene sized breast implants. The “pregnant man”, Thomas Beatty. A major freakshow all over the media for months who promotes the idea tranny trumps genitals, “she-males” in tranny porn and Ru Paul the drag queen……and you still think as a corrected and now normal woman comparing you to these people isn’t defamation?
