I am so tired of this sham/scam having a life of its own, and a very protected and revered one, at that! I would have failed every undergraduate course if I had used this logic and lack of source of information evaluation. People are being harmed by this and it needs to stop.

Seriously, I'd love to do a podcast or something with other trans history obsessives.

Oh gosh - I appreciate that you're one of the first people that is going into the history from the mid 20th century, I'm not a professional, and that's not to say you aren't either, but I have been doing haphazard archiving work of it and it's nice to see the stuff I've been finding pop-up organized elsewhere

wow, what a tour de force! The history of a contagious madness that has made many victims, in many countries. Sometimes I think we deserve this, and it's good that these people will stop having children. I know it's absurd and almost barbaric, but I'm just tired and I want this to stop.

Apologies - that should be “genderists”!

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive,” wrote Sir Walter Scott back in 1808. And it couldn’t be more true of the machinations of gender it’s. Thank you for your heroic attempt to untangle this web of obfuscation and prevarication.

To whom you are attracted sexually is purely subjective and therefore cannot reasonably be contested by an outside observer.

Where you decide to live your life on a spectrum of superficial, stereotypical male to female attributes (and we all do) is also purely subjective and similarly cannot be questioned.

However, your biological sex reflects an objective reality which cannot be changed by your subjective personal view and futile attempts to do so can result in serious health impacts to you as well as harms to members of the sex you are impersonating (primarily women).

Others who are grounded in objective reality should never be forced to accept your subjective version of your actual biological sex.

Finally, it's past time for the LGB community to separate themselves from the trans activists who are trying to take away the rights of women to fairness in sports and to privacy and safety in their restrooms, locker rooms and prisons. They also advocate for the chemical and surgical mutilation of children many of whom would grow up gay.

Their actions are evil and the

understandable negative reaction to the harm they are causing is spilling over to innocent people who are just going about their business, marrying and leading their lives.
