"Biking Up Peak Trans"

Expand full comment

i'm one of those "dime a dozen" people, a straight woman, so i guess i have nothing to say about this post... but i know many lesbians who'd rather be with straight women than gay men, so i found your perspective interesting. some of the gay men i have known seemed to be homosexual because women disgusted them so much that they just couldn't. of course, this wasn't true. they were attracted to men and had grown to hate women because they felt forced to like them. i can understand that kind of "f*ck this sh*t!" knee-jerk reaction. but it doesn't make us at the receiving end feel too great... but now i wonder if lesbians look at me with this, "uh, what a waste of time, talking to ANOTHER straight woman..." maybe they do. but i would never, ever, join a LGBT anything, so maybe not. why would a straight woman do that?! that's just weird. it kills the vibe, it introduces fakeness. straight guys, straight gals... i understand wanting an all-female cycling group, but an LGBT that accepts straight people? and straight people that want to be in it!? that's nonsense.

oh, right. it's queering. obviously, queering an LGBT cycling group necessarily means filling it with straight people and people who don't know what they are. de libro.

I found the comment about Ted & Manuel’s suggestibility very telling. How sad.

And consulting the group to get an opinion.

This shit is getting all too weird! As much as "trans"/"non-binary" was/is difficult for me to understand, "queer" theory (which I now believe IS the heart of the hydra) is beyond comprehension for me! I'm getting lost in the weeds the longer this insanity goes on. The person (M? F?) heading up all the nonsense at Columbia University is a "queer", wearing a BLM shirt and a du rag (keffiyeh?) and rallying the masses of young people who don't even really know what they're rallying about. This is all just reminiscent of the late 60's/early 70's.....and it scared me then because I was a little girl!
