Yup, I said it.
I’d die for trans people.
It sounds like a bold statement but I mean it. Those of you on the Anti-Trans moral high horse… Here is your wake up call to get off your horse and on the side of Trans Rights. If you feel super defensive with this, you need to stop, think about how you’re feeling and ask yourself WHY you’re feeling that way…
The Morals are Dysfunctional
There is this absolutely dysfunctional societal idea of what a woman and a man should look like. Femininity is perceived as a hollywood sex symbol even though thats not what the every day woman looks like when makeup, hair, lighting, and editing aren’t involved. Masculinity is the same, the every day man doesn’t look, think, or sound like what you think he should based on the stereotypes and boxes. How many of you have teased someone because of the fact that they weren’t manly enough, or teased a woman because she didn’t shave?
Now that I’ve said that.. I keep people in my circle to shift my perspectives, and to make sure I don’t end up in echo chambers. I want to see and understand others. But the longer I see people around me the more I question my decision to do this.
This is more about you then it is them.
As I write the rest of this, I’m going to let it fly… If i’m talking to “you” and you get defensive, you need to explore why. If you truly aren’t like this, then chances are I’m not talking to you… So for those of “you” on this anti-trans trip… Call liberals snowflakes… but if you all didn’t have a moral pain point with a world wide event bringing unity, I would think that you’d turned democrat.
The problem is more with the uneducated side of the conservative social media moral hotbed. So many of my friends are educated, and kind people. When they repost things that have zero basis in fact.. and pretend like christianity, or conservatism is a victim, they erode the way people see you. They show straight stupidity when you come to the table touting morals and “but what about” arguments… with out research, and with out even an iotta of an attempt to understand.
Lets start with the big trending topics lately: The olympic’s opening ceremony.
That ceremony was not demonic or anti-christian… It was an ode to what the world was like in our past. News flash – the world wasn’t Christian originally it was pagan. The Christian following was originally a liberal progressive movement started by one guy who ended up getting crucified for his beliefs because they didn’t align with conservative values.
Marie Antionette, was the headless woman you saw in the window. The amount of French and world history education I had was limited. Like severly compared to other people just a generation older than I am, and I knew what those representations were. But lets share the truth here. You’re not upset about it because you actually care, you’re upset about it because someone, on a social post somewhere, told you that it was a representation of something that you don’t like. Now you think it’s disgusting because the rest of the world doesn’t see things like you do? And conservatives have the audacity to call the liberal groups snowflakes?
Hypocritical much?
Fast forward a few days and after you showed your ass a bit, now you’re going after a woman because she doesn’t look feminine enough?
Young women are supposed to be the group of people conservatives are trying to protect with their anti-trans tirades. Women are supposed to be the people you CARE about right? But because you believe that an olympic competitor is trans, then their opportunity to compete in the games is a Travesty? ARE YOU FRICKIN KIDDING ME?
And such is the problem with your arguments, which I simply can’t entertain anymore.
We should talk for one minute about how conservatives 50 years ago said that women aren’t supposed to be in men’s dominated career fields. What better example for a career we shouldn’t have been in than Boxing? But now… now, conservatives are attempting to “protect” Khelif’s opponent who went a mere 46 seconds in the ring with Khelif, ” saying “I got into the ring to fight. I didn’t give up. But one punch hurt too much and so I said, ‘Enough.’ I’m going out with my head held high.”

It’s not about fairness anymore, it’s about the way someone looks…
But because there was a previous controversy – conservatives assume they know the truth. They looked at someone (as they historically do) and made a snap judgement about who they were based on their appearance, and now they want to crucify her because she doesn’t fit your stupid boxes.
I have been telling people that it wouldn’t be long before the anti-trans movement started running around attacking biological males and females who were representing themself authentically to society but who weren’t feminine enough or masculine enough to fit whatever illusionary standard that they hold. And that’s why I will fight for trans people and die on that hill.
Reason number 1 that I will die for a trans person:
The Trans population makes up less than 5% of our population. And they’re trying to live their lives… meanwhile conservatives aren’t seeking to understand, instead they’re targeting them when there are much bigger fights that your moral high horses need to be running to. ESPECIALLY if you’re looking to protect women and children.
You can start protecting women and children by dealing with things like poverty and the amount of food we through away versus food insecurity in our nation. Or, you could start with the cost of housing versus the homelessness of women and children in the world. You could also, start with the amount of children in the foster system versus the available foster parents who are safe. But instead, you pick a small percentage of the population to villify and distract from the challenges that face your community.
Reason number 2 that I’ll die for trans people.
DNA studies show that there are a ton of different gender expressions. There is a section of your DNA that changes the way your body presents itsself despite your chromosomal assignment. There is a FANTASTIC documentary, narrated and hosted by Morgan Freeman, that I’ve recommended before and if you want the name of it, I’ll send it to you.
Anyway, this DNA inconsistency means you can have what you want to call “Biological” Males with Female expression and not know the difference until you have your DNA checked beyond the XX, XY chromosomes. Did you know there are YY chromosomes too? I don’t know about you but I’ve never had my DNA checked, but there are actual stories of people who have a genetic issue later in life, women who can’t get pregnant for instance, who have their DNA checked only to find out that they’re actually male, and that this one tiny part of their DNA strand decided to present them as female.
Additionally, there are plenty of situations where people are born with both gender expressions, And my question to you is, if it’s true that there are only two genders, then what would you like to do with those people? Will you honestly tell me that someone can’t participate in sports, or get assignment surgeries because they don’t fit your boxes? Even if the goal would be to fit into the boxes that society wants them to so badly fit into? All of this should tell you that your “morals” are a bit hypocritical.
Reason number 3 that I would die for Trans people:
Have you looked at people lately? Seriously… when is the last time that you’ve sat at a walmart, or an airport, and looked at people? Have you EVER wondered if someone is male or female? Have you ever approached someone not knowing if they were male or female and felt embarassed about feeling a little lost because you didn’t know how to ask? What about women who are most comfortable wearing sporty looks with baggy basketball pants who also have small chests? Are you always accurate in knowing the gender they are?
Seriously… come on! A child asked me in the 3rd grade if I was a girl or a boy because I’d cut my hair short. We know in 3rd grade that we have to put people in boxes. We also know that some people don’t fit in our boxes.
Reason number 4 that I would die for trans people:
Are we going to do DNA testing on everyone now? We’ve already discussed how that can be innacurate so the only other logical response is: “Well, no you have genetalia and they assign you a sex at birth so just go by that…” Okay but who is going to check to make sure that a child’s genetalia is the appropriate expression to what their birth certificat or their school records show? Who is going to ensure that they conform with your beliefs?
Why am I talking about this right now? Frankly, it’s because I’m disgusted with the over zealous and misplaced “righteousness” that’s floating through the ethernet right now.
Have we learned nothing?
Have we learned nothing in the past thousands of years about judging people by the way they look? What’s worse is that there is no such thing as “Masculine” and “Feminine” Its a construct created centuries ago to oppress women. This competitor is guilty of packing a heavy punch. Against a petite white “obviously” female fighter who CHOSE to go to the olympics and take punches. The social media “anti-trans” movement is trashing a CHAMPION OLYMPIAN. There isn’t any actual evidence, but because of the way she looks and how strong she is, conservatives are saying things like “disgusting” and screaming about how she “shouldn’t be allowed to box other women.”
AND THAT is why I’ll die on the hill protecting trans people. Because the moral high road seekers don’t want to have sexuality and gender “shoved” into their face, but they wont even explore it enough to understand that the morality of their cause is so dysfunctional, damaged, and down right scary it’s unreal. Because the moral high road seekers tout how “dangerous” the ideals of the trans movement are, but speak NOTHING about the real damage that the catholic church has done to women, children, and minorities through the entire history of its existence, despite being opposite of what Christ stood for.
I really wont have this discussion with people any more.
Another human’s right to their pursuit of happiness is none of your danged business. If you don’t like someone because of your own beliefs thats a you problem… and you should sit down and zip it, because I’ve frankly had enough of it. I’ve been waiting for this example to come up so I can lay it all out and now it has. Think about all of the other ones that have come up in the past: women who weren’t trans being attacked for being too masculine.
If you’re a woman on the anti-trans train you better wake the heck up right now… because that train… it’s not about trans people… it’s about YOU. This isn’t a stretch… and no I’m not talking about a big conspiracy.. I’m talking about systemized oppression. This movement isn’t about Trans people, It’s about keeping women weak, feminine, sexy, ready to make babies whenever a man wants you to regardless of what you have to say about it.
The Anti-Trans movement is a farce. It’s systemic design is to attack women through a small percentage of the population and if they villianize these people enough, you’ll jump on board and attack them too. You’ll buy into the ideals of what a woman “should” be, and they wont have to fight us if we lay down and take it…
One simple question to shift your perspective.
If you have any doubts about what I’m saying I want you to answer ONE simple question for me. Have you ever wondered why the only ones being attacked are Trans women? This movement has convinced staight cis women that trans women are after them, but trans men… I guess we don’t have to worry about them going after men right? The hypocrisy is palpable, but I think it speaks to how afraid cis women are of the men in the world.
Some women right now would die on the hill that trans women shouldn’t have the right to play sports but I’ll die for trans people and on the hill that this whole thing is absurd. You all are adults… grow the fuck up and leave people alone.
If you feel like you’re ready to shift into a space of love, intention, and openness, I invite you to book a perspective shifting session so that we can see how I can help.
