That is a most interesting read....

That was pretty interesting. But I don't think that not wanting to have sex with a trans girl makes a lesbian a turf. Different people are attracted to different things.kind of like all of us here. Some like to be with or even get married to a girl and are also attracted to trans women. Others are only attracted to or marry a trans women and some only attracted to or marry a CD's or TV's. To me, it's only bad if someone hates someone because they are straight or LGBT, CD, TV or anything else.

Seems like Trans people are somehow allowed to have preferences and standards, but if someone doesnt want to fuck them, it's some sort of phobia.

Yeah I've seen this argument get attention the past couple years but it's just weird. The whole authoritarian mindset thing has got to go. I'm down for positive social changes but when people start trying to police things like personal preference its just bananas.

You can't help what you like. Just bc you like women doesn't mean you like every woman. It's honestly as cringey as "nice guys" who feel entitled to pussy. The irony in all this is by being such a poor sport you're kinda proving why ppl don't want to bang you.

'Make America Great -Again'.
'Make us Normal -Again'.
'Ten Men can make Ten Thousand Tremble'.

These stories may be real, but in reality we are talking about a fringe of society, and isolated incidents. In some cases, the 'transwomen' who enter Women's Toilets in the hope of attracting a woman, are not only small in number but in one case in California a known male pervert less trans than a transistor radio. Do Lesbians cruise straight women in toilets? Or do most men and women use a toilet for the obvious person, or to fix their hair, wash their hands, and so on?

Yes, as the case of Kathleeen Stock and the University of Sussex has shown, a vocal and aggressive minority can force someone to resign from thier job, but crucially, the argument used to achieve it has failed. The majority of people are either not interested in issues around 'transphobia' or can't understand it, or make up their minds. I think a lot of people believe in equal rights in an open democracy, but what alienates them is the aggressive campaiging to make people feel guilty about something that is not most of the time on their minds.

It began with the deliberate, targeted attack by Trump on Transgendered Americans in the Military, but listen to the tone and mind the language.

What all of these narratives have in common is the attempt to depict being transgended as Abnormal, it is wrong, it is damaging, it is dangerous. And they must be stopped.

The attempt to undermine BLM has litttle to do with the politics of its activists, but the mere idea of it as a threat- if the murder of Black Americans by Law Enforcement is considered Normal, then BLM is its opposite.

There is a war going on, and in this culture war, sexual preference and gender identity are being used as weapons -on both sides and with complemetary aggression. But make no mistake, just as the 'White Christian Evangelists' of the US reject everything to do with the Enlightenment, Reason, Science and Democracy, so they have found a cause that illustrates the decline of their self-invented 'Judeo-Christian Civilization'.

We are all losers in this war, and it isn't over yet.

My motto is to stay out of the Lesbian/Gay/Trans internal disagreements...
Just like as a Black man, for example, I don't get into Japanese/Korean/Chinese disagreements...

But what is happening is clear -Trump and his supporters and his party of Sedition, Sleaze and Lies, are forcing transgender issues into the mainstream, for example as part of their 'debate' on Education and the belief schools should teach their students How to think, not What to think, in order to campaign for a 'return to Normal' or their America is lost for ever.

It is not helped by the intolerance and strident tones on both sides, but as the word Compromise is now associated with Failure, the battle lines are drawn, just as the re-invention of their America is one in which Race and Immigration are not problematic, in which Slaves were happy, well-fed and content, and White Americans need not believe they ever did anything wrong and apologize for past sins.

And if you oppose that with the Truth, then you are the cancer that must be cut out, because like Compromise, Truth is the casualty of the 'Culture War'.

None of this is accidental, incidental or casual -it is part of a co-ordinated plan with massive funding from 'Right-wing' Christian donors. You can't decide if you should take sides or not, as long as you visit HungAngels for your pleasure, you are the Enemy.

oversensitive trans women don't represent the masses.
