The Operation That Can Ruin Your Life

An article by Julie Bindel

from the article:

Gender dysphoria (GD) was invented in the 1950s by reactionary male psychiatrists in an era when men were men and women were doormats. It is a term used to describe someone who feels strongly that they should belong to the opposite sex and that they were born in the wrong body. GD has no proven genetic or physiological basis.

...more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transsexuals by the University of Birmingham's Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery was clinically effective.

Recent legislation (the Gender Recognition Act, which allows people to change sex and be issued with a new birth certificate) will have a profoundly negative effect on the human rights of women and children. Since 2004, it has been possible for those diagnosed with GD to be assigned the sex of their choice, providing that the person has lived as the opposite sex for two years, has no plans to change back again and can provide evidence of the above.

It is not necessary to have undergone hormone treatment or surgery. In other words, a pre-operative man could apply for a job in a women — only rape counselling service and, if refused on grounds of his sex, could take the employer to court on the grounds that "he" is legally a "she".

A definition of transsexualism used by a number of transsexual rights organisations reads:

Students who are gender non-conforming are those whose gender expression (or outward appearance) does not follow traditional gender roles: "feminine boys," "masculine girls" and students who are androgynous, for example. It can also include students who look the way boys and girls are expected to look but participate in activities that are gender nonconforming, like a boy who does ballet. The term "transgender youth" can be used as an umbrella term for all students whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth and/or whose gender expression is non-stereotypical.

According to this definition, a girl who plays football is trans-sexual.

A number of transsexuals are beginning to admit that opting for surgery ruined their lives. "I was a messed-up young gay man," says Claudia McClean, a male-to-female transsexual who opted for surgery 20 years ago. "If I had been offered an alternative to a sex change, I would have jumped at the chance, but as soon as I told the psychiatrist I felt trapped in the wrong body, or some such cliché, he was writing out a referral to the surgeon."

Transsexualism is becoming so normalised that increasing numbers of children are being referred to clinics by their parents. Recently, an 18-month-old baby in Denmark was diagnosed as suffering from GD. Last summer, a primary school headteacher held an assembly to explain that a nine-year-old boy would return as a girl.

Ten years ago, there were an average of six child and adolescent referrals per year in Britain, but in 2008 numbers had increased six-fold. Although the minimum age for sex-change surgery is 18, puberty-blocking hormones can be prescribed to those as young as 16, and transsexual rights lobbyists want that age to be reduced to 13.

Medical science cannot turn a biological male into a biological female — it can only alter the appearance of body parts. A trans-sexual "woman" will always be a biological male. A male-to-female transsexual serving a prison sentence for manslaughter and rape won the right to be relocated to a women's jail. Her lawyers argued that her rights were being violated by being unable to live in her role as a woman in a men's jail. Large numbers of female prisoners have experienced childhood abuse and rape and will fail to appreciate the reasons behind a biological man living among them, particularly one who still has the penis with which he raped a woman. (Some transsexuals choose to retain their genitals.)

There is a handful of radicals in the world today who have dared to challenge the diagnosis of transsexualism. Those who do are called "transphobic" and treated with staggering vitriol.

In a world where equality between men and women was reality, transsexualism would not exist. The diagnosis of GD needs to be questioned and challenged. We live in a society that, on the whole, respects the human rights of others. Accepting a situation where the surgeon's knife and lifelong hormonal treatment are replacing the acceptance of difference is a scandal. Sex-change surgery is unnecessary mutilation. Using human rights laws to normalise trans-sexualism has resulted in a backward step in the feminist campaign for gender equality. Perhaps we should give up and become men.

SRS the right of the Mentally ill?

Fair use capped from a popular "trans" forum/chat.



And this was the general response not surprisingly, a slew of "well done's" and "good jobs" and "way to go's".


One of the primary features of EVERY single "trans" forum, newsgroup, community center and any other "trans" meeting place you can dream up real-time and online is the How to Guide. The ad nauseum "I was born in the wrong body" "trans" mantra is the free ticket handed to all who enter the "trans" gate. With that, any living person right this second could reference one of these How to area's on any one of these "trans" groups, glean enough info and encouragement and in two "gender specialist" appointments or less have yourself declared an official tranny with your first faux hormone script tucked securely into your shirt pocket while you waltz out the door on your way to the nearest drugstore. A few injections later and given you have the moola (if you dont, trust me, there's info on how to use your student loans for trannification money as well) you can pay any number of doctors across various countries to mutilate yourself into the "new" not so improved and much butchered "you".

In "trans" spaces (both real and mental) the level of trannification, the reasons for trannification make no difference, have no bearing or place. All that matters is the How; like Anne Sexton's suicide in her poem Wanting to Die: But suicides have a special language/ Like carpenters they want to know which tools/They never ask why build. And suicide after all is about murder, and so to is "transition". When are we going to stop playing cops and robbers, shoot now and ask questions later, when are we going to start asking why first?

Transgender Truths Equals Transgender Lies

Fair use capped.

This made its way to my inbox yesterday evening ( thanks for keeping me posted sister).

The "trans" motto were truth ever to be injected into the veins of the"trans" community like the faux hormones so readily injected would no doubt be "when in doubt, lie".

Because truth is not exactly on the buddy list of the "trans" community, when it is spoken, even in individual spaces regarding "trans" issues, those individuals must be silenced. Because those like myself who make truth known, truths that cannot be disputed, the "trans" community resorts to what it knows best: LYING! But when the entirety of your self created identity is a lie, lying comes pretty easily I would imagine. The short of it though is this; the "trans" community will take whatever measures it believes it must to silence the likes of rad lez fems like me; be that elaborate hoaxes aimed to emotionally harm/disarm, threats of male violence and rape or their personal fav such as the above, denigratory lying.

The truth of the matter is we (rad lez fems) could cease and desist from ever mentioning "trans" anything period ever again, BUT if we continued fighting for the dismantling of misogyny we would STILL be slandered and attacked BY the "trans" community. Why? Because misogyny is at the root of trannification! There is a common thread that runs clean through MALE to female and female to MALE, and thats MALE! Now you can say female runs through both as well and I would agree. BUT the female in Mtf and ftM has the same place she has in the real world, powerless, victimized and inferior. And THIS is why those of us fighting for the disembowelment of patriarchal misogyny even outside of "trans" circles MUST be stopped. Because if the f in ftM and the f in Mtf found her voice, gained even the slightest bit of power and declared she would no longer be victimized, POOF! Just like that, the "trans" disorder thereby the "trans" ID'd would cease developing.

Now if you EVER had even the slightest bit of doubt that "transition" IS a disorder, your proof is in the pudding is right here. Because only the truly sick, would wish to remain sick and have others get sick when this illness could be eradicated by the empowerment and equality of women.

Transition: Misogyny made real through brutal abuses of female forms.

Has the Dirtster injured the delicate feelers of an ftM woman?

Fair use capped from a LOCKED post at an ftM women's community at live journal.

Dear ftM woman/person,

I'm not here to hurt your feelings, I am here however to expose the truths, lies and impossibilities of "transition". I am here to expose the misogyny that IS the core and foundation of "transition" and expose how that core/foundation perpetuates and harms ALL women, all of us.

I'm here to write about, discuss, rant, rave and scream at the tops of my lungs all the wonderfulness's of woman, of being a woman. This supreme being, this ultimate comfort that each and every one of us seek, want and need our WHOLE lives through regardless of any barriers. If you dared to look a little further here, this blog I'm speaking, what you would see is between each and every line I write, is my love, care and utter devotion to woman and women.

And so I am also here to defend her, woman that is, from the make up wearing masked invaders bursting in as well as all those beating her door down to leave, beating her in the process. Some days that takes the form of humour, some days intellectualism, other days assholism, and other days still, the very breadth of my heart.

I wouldnt expect for a moment that you or any person who has went to some lengths, any lengths of trannification for that matter or any totally enmeshed with trannifiers to understand what I'm saying. But I'm here to tell you I am not screaming for you or them or those like you and them,

I scream only for HER!
