Blogger has been down for about 24 hours. It seems many comments, including my own, have disappeared from the last two post. I have no word from Blogger whether they will return. So if your comment/s from the last two post have been removed, it wasnt because they were deleted.
Discussion topic for today: Many females have shared their experiences here of growing up "feeling like a boy", thinking they were supposed to be boys, female body hatred, feeling their body is wrong, or feeling wrong in their bodies or how their female body works etc etc. And each time we have seen these same females, myself included, get attacked either by "trans in denial" statements or having our experiences dismissed outright. Why? Because we chose to work through our female self hatred instead of harming our bodies through the life never ending long process of transition.
If you are a female who has had this experience or similar, how do you feel that your experiences growing up have now become a "trans" narrative? Rather than the experiences of a female growing up in a hyper feminine/female hating world?

Chaz Bono-Female Self Hater dishing out advice?
Chaz Bono, publicly declares s/he is willing to speak with Jolie/Pitt about their "tomboy" child Shiloh! Seriously??? I dont see this happening, as I dont believe Jolie is nutty enough to think there is anything wrong with her daughter, let alone have a female self hater near her child. But the audacity of Bono even bringing up Shiloh, projecting her own female self hatred onto a child she doesnt even know, is fucking disgusting!

Body/Sexual Dysphoria
Seeing how this blog is read by nearly females only, lets discuss a topic that affects nearly all females on some level: body/sexual dysphoria.
A few questions to get things going....
How has body/sexual dysphoria affected you personally? That can mean you as an individual, as well as if you have partnered with a female suffering from extreme body/sexual dysphoria?
At what age did your body/sexual dysphoria largely begin?
Does your monthly cycle increase your dysphoria?
Has body sexual dysphoria hurt or stopped you from comfortably enjoy sex with a partner?
Have you worked through your body/sexual dysphoria? If so, what has helped you to work through your dysphoria?

FTM Transition, Mothers and Electra
In lieu of Mother's Day (Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there btw) I'm going to write a bit about ftM transition, the ultimate in mother rejection.
I put little faith in psychiatry in general, because far too often it seems for every step forward psychiatry takes, it takes a big leap backward, which immensely slows and diminishes any progress in the field. Modern psychiatry while being indebted to Freud and other Freudian theorist, later (especially post feminism) have logically discarded many Freudian theories, while feminism has made chop liver of the rest.
So what happens to those old, out dated Freudian dragons that feminism once slayed now that feminism's blade has been dulled for decades? What happens when feminism's blunted blade has been replaced by the male medical machine's sterile technology? I'll tell you what happens, some of those dragons return, only now they aren't being slayed, but flayed instead!
One such dragon is the Freudian Electra Complex, the gist of which consists of Freud's notions of the psycho-sexual development of the female; complete with penis envy, rejection of the mother in favour of the penised father then later transferred to the penised husband. Any female with the most basic feminist spine can easily gut the Electra Complex with one hand while picking their teeth clean using its bones with the other.
But I'm writing about the absence of feminism, an absence amid a techno savvy psychiatry and male medical machinate. It is through this feminist absence that the Freudian dragons are returning in hordes and droves, all of which, coincidentally, have a hefty price tag attached with no promise of a "cure," that at least Freud did offer! The Electra Complex, known now as Female Transition, is back with a rejuvenated vengeance and vigor!
Like the Electra Complex that Freud/Jung theorized pre-feminism, whereby it was believed girls felt their mothers failed them by not providing them (through birth) with the almighty penis (the portal of possibilities), girls rejected their mother in favor of the father (penis/possibility envy). In our post-(non) feminist state, with females being sexualized and objectified at younger and younger ages, with hyper femininity portrayed as the norm, females are again rejecting their mothers in favor of their father's (penis/possibilities), only in a whole new way. Rather than females merely envying the penis (possibilities) their mothers didn’t provide them, they are opting through female transition to obtain the penis (possibilities) by becoming men themselves! This is the ultimate in mother rejection/hatred!
It is normal to reject some of the dreams and ideas our mothers had for us, to reject the female she wanted us to be so we could be our own adult woman. To reject the very thing she created with her female body, however, is a fist to the face of every mother of a female transitioner! Female transition is a big FUCK YOU to mothers everywhere with psychiatry and the male medical machine largely to blame, both of which have a long history of mother misogyny.
It is said if you wait long enough, fads and styles will eventually come back around. But unlike bell-bottoms or platform shoes that are ugly, but harmless, the Electra Complex in its current incarnation, aka female transition, is both dangerous to females everywhere and insulting to the mothers of females who transition. And like the long detrimental history psychiatry has had with mothers, female transition feeds right into psychiatry's long standing blame-game it continues playing with mothers today.
May some kind of peace be with every mother who has lost their daughter to this deadly disorder.
