The future of our young Trans Trenders and it aint pretty.

We can and should forgive the misogynistic warped thinking that would desire such horrors. What we cannot forgive is the sick fucking male medical machine committing such horrors to our female youths and soon, female children!

"If you could rape anyone who would it be?"

The above was on a questionnaire created by and for frat boys at the University of Vermont.

This egregious expression of rape culture is only the most recent example
of systemic sexism at UVM. The past year alone has witnessed rape, multiple sexual assaults, and anti-abortion chalking in public spaces. While the university administration has laid off long-time Women's and Gender Studies faculty and supported sexist institutions like Sigma Phi Epsilon, it has refused to take concerted action to combat sexism and rape culture. We
demand that instead of diverting resources into vast salaries for its
administrators, UVM should launch an aggressive campaign against sexism and rape culture, and it should expand institutions such as Women's and Gender Studies and the Women's Center at UVM. Furthermore, UVM must immediately disband Sigma Phi Epsilon. An institution that discusses who it wants to rape has no place at UVM or in the Burlington community.

 Please take a minute to sign this petition towards ending rape culture and holding these misogynistic males and university responsible!

When Behavior Determines Sex, We need to Retrink our Perception of Behavior

A regular reader ran across this link on her FB friend's page and fearing liberal/queer attacks were she to respond there, she instead chose to comment here in a safe space. This is what she had to say about the article linked:

So its not socially acceptable for a boy to wear a dress but is becoming acceptable to suppress his natural hormones and have encourage surgery at 18 young years to fit into what our culture says is sexual/gender "appropriate"? And for everyone to pretend that he is a girl? He's male. Some boys are like this. Really. Some boys like Barbie and dress up and high heels. How about the culture deal with THAT? Cutting off his penis or even just pretending he's a girl will not change his sex. It does enforce strict gender roles. And getting him to buy into this all is brilliantly sad! Because it's not acceptable to like Barbie and fancy dresses as a boy we will all encourage him to become a girl? That's the progressive, brilliant choice? There is no such thing as being born in the wrong body. I swear. We are born into the bodies we are born into, and it's our job to deal with it, individually and as a culture. We are in fact born into a gender binary society! There is something wrong with our culture! What has happened to us all? Are we asleep? I do feel for this kid and his family family but cant help but protest the gender straight jacket we all getting behind. (Dirt, I've adopted the gender straight-jacket phrase!)

I was a kid that would have been called trans if I was growing up now -- in fact as a young adult I've been encouraged to transition many times in my life... I'm still wearing "boys" clothes, underwear. Never once payed with a Barbie. I wanted to be a boy. Wanted a penis, wanted to fuck girls, wanted to play boy sports... I've been wearing boys clothes almost exclusively my whole life... Never a Barbie or a baby doll have I played with. Its been a struggle esp in the last 15 years of trans glorification to resist the temptation for an easy fix. It seems like a pill (shot) you can take and start over from a different form factor. And wallah! everything is better.

Raising a little girl -- even in progressive San Francisco bay area -- watching gender being fed to her in so many subtle and not so subtle ways ... has made the gender binary system even clearer to me. (Although so many parents do not hardly see it) And honestly, she loves being a girly girl but its so obvious that it is enforced and rewarded... There is so little choice for GENDER expression in our culture. It's kind of a nightmare!

It's not about me, or my daughter, any individual though. It's about a progressive movement that is acting *super conservative* about gender. I've been upset about this for at least 15 years and its only getting worse and mainstream. There was not one thing in that article that was revolutionary about gender. It is so disturbing that so many kids are just trying to fit into whats acceptable to the culture in terms of gender. People are willing to hate their bodies and themselves in order to fit into society. As adults in this society, we must fight for all of our precious bodies and minds. We must learn to love our bodies. We must be clear where the problem lies.

It's so PC wrong to be saying all this but I can't just sit here and watch smart people encourage or applaud this narrow mindedness and call it revolutionary.

All hail gender transgression! Barbie's for boys! Princess dresses for boys! Freedom for girls.

We are not born in the wrong body, we are born in the wrong society! The brave dare to change their world, not themselves.
