The Concept of Transition

From some recent emails, on the supportive side I might add, it seems that my Trans Trending posts are giving the impression that I'm simply against children and young women transitioning. Just to be clear, I'm against the concept of transition period! And it is a concept, there is no true sex change, there is no male-to-female or female-to-male transition. One cannot biologically move from one sex to another like crossing a road. One may pass most of the time as the other sex from utilizing chemical and surgical cosmetics, but one will never be that other sex nor know how that other sex actually feels. One simply knows how they feel as a female or male on the synthetic hormones of a female or a male, which is quite different than actually BEING the other sex.

The concept of transition was built upon the reality of homophobia by the male medical machine after they realized through countless trials and errors, and at the pain and suffering of centuries of gays and lesbians, that homosexuality wasnt something one could be "cured" from, realizing it to be as innate as hands or feet.  While those who support the idea of transition or transition themselves may be vocal about transition having little to do with sexuality, among the general public and even among most doctors who treat the trans disorder, the historical homophobic canvas that this disorder was painted upon, remains firmly in the picture. For this alone, no gay or lesbian should support the concept of transition, because by doing so they are ultimately supporting the reality of homophobia and the notion that homosexuality can be changed simply by "changing sex".

The support and promotion of transition supports and promotes homophobia. Along with homophobia, the concept of transition supports the misogyny of females and the strict maintenance of the gender straight jacket, both of which keeps females in inferior roles and places in all aspects of society. As an avid feminist, a Butch lesbian and a female who by my very nature dismantles all the constants conservative transition upholds, I'm naturally against the concept known as transition.

How to Comment on a Blog

If you cannot bother to read beyond the title line or past the first few sentences, please do not bother commenting. Comments that do not indicate that you have read (or at least thoroughly skimmed) the article/post/links, will likely be deleted. Nothing wrong with opinions, but when they are not within the ballpark of the subject, there's no point releasing them, as they add nothing.

Here are some helpful tips to blog commenting from this site:

How to Write a Great Blog Comment

 

Rule #1 -- Determine Your Motivation

People have different reasons for writing blog comments. What's yours? Are you trying to get the attention of an influential blogger? Drive traffic to your own blog? Establish yourself as an expert on a topic? Do you appreciate the person's work and want to say thank you or brighten his or her day? Do you disagree so strongly with what you're viewing or reading that you simply can't let it stand without a rebuttal? Sometimes, understanding your motivation will help you decide what kind of comment to write.

 

Rule #2 -- Provide Context

I know as you're writing your comment *you* know what you're responding to -- maybe it's the article or video or maybe it's someone else's comment, but when people come to the page later and read the comments, it isn't always immediately clear what you're talking about. It's most important to provide context when there are a lot of comments. If comments are coming in really fast, for example, yours can get separated from the comment to which you're responding.

 

Rule #3 -- Be Respectful

I shouldn't have to tell you this, but comments that start out "You're an idiot," are laced with profanity, or are just plain disrespectful, undermine the authority of your argument. Nobody gives much credence to an obnoxious troll. So aside from the pleasure you get from annoying people, you're wasting your time writing such comments. Always remember there is a real person reading your comment. It's easy to be mean while hiding behind the anonymity of the Web, but you shouldn't say anything you wouldn't say in person.   

 

Rule #4 -- Make a Point

Sure, most bloggers will lap up short comments like "Wonderful!" "I love it!" and "Thank you," and if all you want to do is express gratitude or brighten their day, comments like that are fine, but you'll make a more lasting impression and a more meaningful contribution to the conversation if you say a bit more. Why is it wonderful? Why did you love it? It's even more important to make a point when you disagree. It's a waste of time to just write "You're wrong," or a longer ranting equivalent. Make sure you include the reason you disagree. It's easier than you think to avoid making a point. Consider the comment "You're spreading lies by saying the ideal temperature for chocolate storage is 28 degrees. At that temperature, the chocolate will go bad." Really, all you've said is "You're wrong." You need to say *why* the temperature is wrong. Say what temperature is better and why. Maybe say where you get your information. Is it based on your experience, the recommendations of the Chocolate Storage Association, or just your own wild guess? Make a point.

 

Rule #5 -- Know What You're Talking About

 When I read comments I’m always amazed by how many people admit (admit!) they have no idea what they're talking about and then go on to make recommendations, suppositions, or write long rambling analyses based on nothing more than a pure guess. I swear I've read comments like "I've never worked with chocolate before, but I think 29 degrees would be better than 28 degrees." That kind of comment is not the way to get positive attention from an influential blogger or establish yourself as an expert. If you have a question the author didn't answer about why 28 degrees is best, it's fine to ask; but when you're commenting about something that's based in facts, you're not adding anything useful when you write comments based on your intuition. You're not under orders to comment on everything you read. Save your time for commenting about things where you can actually say something useful.

 

Rule #6 -- Make One Point per Comment

People have short attention spans, and in my experience attention spans are shorter on the Web and even shorter when people are skimming comments. A comment should be just that -- a comment -- not a manifesto. If you have something so complex and important to say that you can't do it in a few short paragraphs, start your own blog. If you have two separate things to say about the video, photo, or blog post, it's usually better to break it up into two separate comments. Remember, people are often skimming.

 

Rule #7 -- Keep it Short

This is really an extension of Rule 6, make one point, but since it's possible to go on and on about one point, I thought I'd also remind you to keep your comments short. Again, it's a comment, not your own blog post.

 

Now hopefully with practicing some of these helpful tips, we can actually have a fruitful discussion about the topic at hand, rather than the usual hate filled comments which are based solely on nothingness.

Docs turn baby girls into boys (A Trans Trending Article)

Trans Trending began in the early 90's post queer theory, and it has gradually picked up speed among disaffected female youth seriously lacking in feminist discourse, especially among the YouTube generation. It seems that the Trans Trending I have named and post about weekly has some new Trans Trending competition, female babies being transitioned from ages as young as a YEAR old!

In countries where male children are the preferred sex (oh wait that's all countries) instead of selective abortion (which goes against the beliefs of the religious), parents are instead having the female child and then,  with the help of the MMM, transitioning the baby girl into "male." This procedure is taking the place of selective abortions, and hundreds of innocent baby girls are paying the HIGH price for brutal medical misogyny and the value of male over female! 

The small minded may scream, "Oh, that could NEVER happen here!" But it wasn't all that long ago that the same kinds of small minded people said the systematic murder of men, women, and yes, even children was an impossibility. Those small minds looked the other way while the bodies of millions bore the contrary. Now you may say I'm full of shit or I'm being overly dramatic, but genocide has NEVER began with numbers, genocide begins with a particular group of people being singled out for elimination, female people in this case.

As the current changes to the DSM go into effect in 2013, changes that will legalize and medicalize the transition of children, that which could "never happen here," will be here.

Trans Lack of Passing

It was questioned in some recent comments when someone spoke about having seen a half dozen or some trans people in their average day. What was questioned was how could they tell the person was cosmetically male or female and not actually male or female. Here is a short trans slide show with not a single image that it isnt blatantly obvious what the persons true sex/gender is. I say that because it is true, not because it is "mean" or "transphobic".

Lying is something that trans people at first do to themselves, then expect others to do around them, it leads to one sad viscous circle and only encourages trans behaviour rather than dealing with reality. While that may work within the trans persons small circle, once they venture out of that circle many trans people expect that circle comfort to follow them, then get hurt and angry when it doesn, i.e. when they get "clocked".

The reality is most trans people do not "pass" as the opposite sex, there are always clues that lead to the truth of the trans person's real sex/gender. The trans mind sees what it wants to see, similarly to how a 67lb adult woman can look into a mirror and see a body twice that size.

Moderating Comments

It has been suggested repeatedly that I go back to moderating comments due to a combination of trolling and those so deep in the throws of the trans disorder, that they will do just about anything to change the subject (and keep it changed) of the topic at hand.

For years comments were moderated, I only change them because there were some female transitioners who wanted to partake in serious discussion from where they stood, many of these female transitioners have also complained about the trans trolling I might add.

But given the seriousness of the information provided here and the total lack of honesty and safety in queer/trans spaces as well as most LGBT spaces now days, I feel it is much more important to put out good information than discuss it with those who would prefer to hide it and/or attack anyone who doesnt agree with their disordered thinking.

There are more and more teenage girls and young women looking to this blog for help, I will not let that help get muddied by those beyond help.
