Would we REALLY want THEM, on our Team anyways???

Since I am a Butch woman, and since this subject seems to come up quite often in Femme/Butch circles I thought I would address it here. The subject of which I am speaking is often referred to as the "flight of the Butch lesbian", the flight being Butch women who "transition" into faux "men".
As an expert who fully understands the issues that put women on the road to trannifying and as someone who has written extensively on the subject previously, I will only touch upon those issues with this particular post.

In a nutshell, the majority of lesbians who "transition" are NOT Butch lesbians, but tweener dykes calling themselves "butch" out of ignorance, envy and confusion. And ya cant get more confused than believing you are something that you are not, which makes the slide into trannifying all the more easy for these women! Thats not to say there aren't plenty O Butch women who trannify as well, sadly there is. The primary reason any lesbian trannifies though is plain and simple misogyny. There are a host of other pathological disorders that also contribute to trannification based on the personal histories of each woman's life.

But whether we are talking about specific Butch women or other lesbians who "transition", let me ask you this: Given that we ALL suffer under patriarchal systems that harm us as women, given that we ALL have internalized misogyny, given that we ALL have had our share of difficult personal histories, not all of us "transition"! In fact most of us do not, nor would we even contemplate such nonsense! Imagine the fucked upness, the absolute HATE HATE HATRED of women and women's bodies these "transitional" women hold!!!!!!

Even if they did not "transition" are these the women, the lesbians, we as radical lesbians would really want on our team????

My personal response is a big FUCK NO!

dirt-a Butch who loves HERself and other WOmen!

Trasition of the Mind

Here are five comments I have received to this blog in the last two days by an ftM woman I wanted to share. Rather than they be buried by publishing them to the posts they were commented to, I feel it better serves the public to have them collected, capped and posted up front.

While I do not feel all ftM women share the same degree of mental instability that our commentor here has displayed, I do believe their level of misogyny similar, even when it remains unspoken. Where there is no misogyny, there are no ftM women period!

Regarding this particular ftM woman, she clearly is one very disturbed woman. And the level of hatred towards myself and other women rises between the first two comments which where yesterday and the last three which were early this morning. Dare I surmise someone took their "T" shot between both sets of comments??? I think so!

Women's systems are not cut out to process high levels of testosterone (our ovaries produce only small amounts) anymore than men's systems can process steroids. Because steroids have been primarily taken by men, we have a thousand and one studies on and know exactly how these drugs affect mind and mood, NOT just the external body. With the women out there mainlining "T", because they are females, because they are such a tiny fringe group and because we exist under patriarchal systems that put women's lives and health last, there are no such detailed studies. There is also the issue of mythomania (pathological lying) that all "trans" individuals suffer that make even the meager attempts at medical studies even more difficult. If one cannot logically acknowledge ones own nature clearly staring back at oneself from ones own mirror, one cannot logically expect to receive truthful answers when questioned about that nature.

I was a casual online friend some years ago with a Femme who "married" an ftM woman. Shortly after the "marriage" the ftM partner began mentally abusing said Femme(which the femme hid), some time after that physically abusing said Femme(which the femme hid), and some time after that murdered said Femme(only then was it all in the open). It came out during trial that the strangulation occurred on the day the ftM had her "T shot". Now that could totally be a coincidence, but personally I do not believe so. And sadly as I said there are no studies to back up my belief. I tell you this not as a claim that all women who are hooked on "T" are abusive or murderers, they aren't. Most are confused, sad, depressed self haters looking for help anywhere they can find it. But there is this false notion springing from the "trans" community in general that these hormonal drugs are merely being used to change the body into something "trans" people can better live with. There is little other than more false notions about what these heavy drugs actually do to the physical brain.

Because the mind is viewed by most "trans" individuals as something not produced by their PHYSICAL brain, most do not comprehend themselves the extent these strong hormonal drugs are altering their brains thereby altering their minds. Sadly in order to maintain the lie, co dependents of "trans" individuals lie or say nothing about these mental and mood changes apparent thou they are. Not so coincidentally like pedophiles looking for that specific boy or girl so to does the "trans" person when looking for mates or friends. You'll notice regardless of how much a friend or family member loves and cares and has proven their love in the past, even with that, if those persons do not go along with the "trans" lie they are the first to be excised from the "trans" persons life. This happens usually after the introduction of the mind altering hormonal drugs with the insistence on the "trans" persons part that "I'm the same person on the inside, nothing has changed". When in fact the REAL changes occurring from taking these drugs takes place "inside" much more than any of the physical changes taking place outside.

The fact is drugs like "T" DO change the brain, drugs like "T" do change the mind and drugs like "T" do change the individual, and many times not for the best.

I leave you with a case in point.
