If you meet a “trans” person, she will show a very limited range of topics:
1. herself
2. her gender identity
3. her pronouns, which change frequently
4. the cruelty of a society that doesn’t slavishly respect her delusions
5. “misgendering” and “deadnaming“: using her actual name and the pronoun of her actual sex
This is about attention. Look at me! Look at me! I’m “trans!“ Her transition is the most important event in history. She hates her parents despite all their efforts to “affirm“ her new “identity.“ She feels threatened and hated because some people choose not to play along. She so believes that such failures cause suicide that it is unsurprising “trans” cults, as “affirmation“ dries up, are turning to murder.

“If you meet a “trans” person,”
I have three transgendered coworkers.
“she will show a very limited range of topics:
1. herself
2. her gender identity”
None of this ever comes up unless someone else starts it. Usually ’weren’t you Lucy last time i saw you?’ or something similar.
“3. her pronouns, which change frequently”
None of my coworkers change their pronouns. People AROUND them sometimes are slow to adjust but they don’t change.
“4. the cruelty of a society that doesn’t slavishly respect her delusions
5. “misgendering” and “deadnaming“: using her actual name and the pronoun of her actual sex”
Actual? Because you’re the arbiter of their identity. Yeah, that’s not a delusion on your part, no, not at all.
“This is about attention. Look at me! Look at me! I’m “trans!“ Her transition is the most important event in history.”
Have you actually met a transgendered person or do you only confront them?
“She hates her parents despite all their efforts to “affirm“ her new “identity.“ She feels threatened and hated because some people choose not to play along.”
Is there a non-hatred reason to insist that your prejudice is the only truthiness?
unsurprising “trans” cults, as “affirmation“ dries up, are turning to murder.
The only "cult" associated with trans people are the transphobes furious that the public hasn't succumbed to murderous hysteria despite all their efforts.
Bigots really do live in a fantasy world, where (1) ANY sort of diversity (race, religion, etc.) is a direct personal attack, and (2) everyone secretly agrees with their bigotry, but is too cowardly to say anything.
3. her pronouns, which change frequently
That’s just wrong. I’ve known transgender people, really more so online than in person (at least as far as I know LOL), but all of the trans people I’ve known or talked to were very definite on what their preferred pronouns are. If someone’s pronouns change frequently, then that’s what you’d call “gender-fluid”, but that’s kind of a subset of trans people, I guess.
5. “misgendering” and “deadnaming“: using her actual name and the pronoun of her actual sex
That’s a complaint from transphobes that actually really annoys me, the one about how they insist on calling trans people by their birth name. Because, OK, cisgender people change their names from their birth names sometimes, and I’ve never heard a transphobe complaining about that. Like if they’re for some reason talking about the 38th President of the US, they probably wouldn’t call him Lesley King Jr instead of Gerald Ford. I guess my point really is, if you’re gonna appoint yourself the “name police” be consistent, at least.
Tho, now that I think about it, it would have been kinda funny if we had a “President King” lol

It is truly infuriating, specially if you did have a legal name change. Hell, since my marriage I don’t even have my maiden last name anymore, if some idiot attempted to call me by my birth name the only thing he’d get is a lot of confusion…

My dad was named “Mark.” My grandfather was named “Mark.”
Growing up, my dad used his middle name, “Merthyn” (which is either Welsh for ‘Mark’ or my grandmother punched a typewriter). In college, he became ‘Mert.’ In the Army he used ML, his initials. At his first job, in a whole new town from where he grew up, he was ‘Mark.’
First Xmas after college graduation, their 2nd year together, Mom carefully signed the cards to college friends as ‘Mert,’ to hometown friends as ‘Merthyn,’ and so on as appropriate.
Second Xmas she said ‘Oh, heck it,’ and signed everything ‘Mark’ and they could fucking deal with it.
Pretty sure no one would BLINK if they came to my home town and asked for Mert, Merthyn, ML, and was corrected. Insisting on ‘their real name’ is just bigots being stupid.
This is about toy tents. Look at look! Meet ma! I’m “rants!“ Her iron oat nit is the most important shit ever in Nina. She “tapes“ the tiny heart rinse despite all the “efforts“ to affirm her wider let on. She feels the red and hated ant because some people “choose“ not to lay a pong. She believes that suicide causes such failures that it is unaffirming “rants” cults, as sun rip ratios ride up, are not murdering rust.
Friend 9f mine brings uo trans issues on Facebook because she wanys others to know the harassment and oppression faced by transgender people but when we see eaxh other we talk metal, horror, tattoos, concerts
Had a conversation with one about BuzzBalls a couple of weeks ago (she and her mates were drunk and playing ‘flirt with the late-night security guard’), and also had a conversation last week about writing technique with another whom I know (who is a member of the writers’ group I lead in Tunbridge Wells).
(These are Buzzballs; https://www.buzzballz.com )
I read the whole thing, and the entire argument is basically “trans narratives as created by the 1960s-1980s medical establishment don’t match the narratives as created by trans people on social media in the 2010s-2020s” and assuming that only the former is true, while the latter is social contagion. Well, okay, there’s also argument from incredulity, particularly the section on non-binary people.
And, more relevant to this post, there’s a general assumption that “the things which I (or the people I’m getting this stuff from) go out of my/their way to see, and the hypothetical horrors invented by conservative media, are all which exists”. It’s the sort of things which *could* mostly be dispelled by actually knowing a trans person… though more likely it would just get them labeled as “one of the good ones”. But since I note that this person appears to be associated with PITT, it’s extremely likely that their (seemingly reluctant) affirmation of the older concept of “transsexuals” would go out the window if it was someone they knew pre-transition.
The funniest part is the sole response to this essay, where someone claims that the label of “transphobe” is invalid because nobody identifies as one. [EDIT] I later went and looked at the link provided along with that assertion. And the essay in that link seems to be claiming that gender norms are not unreasonable and if you’re against people enforcing them, you’re “normophobic”. Meanwhile trans people aren’t reasonable so claiming anyone with an aversion to them is a transphobe is invalid. At least this one is aware that “-phobia” has long meant more than “fear”.
Confused?
