- An Observation « Enough Non-Sense on Why the GLB and Homosexual T Should Not Speak for Classic Transsexuals

Bilerico removed THIS POST….
Then Bilerico attempted DAMAGE CONTROL…HERE, HERE, and HERE…
Before their total CAPITULATION…
The oberservation?
Well…
Though my comment wasn’t published, I made the following observations:
1. The negative comments to Ron Gold’s post were almost, to the one, in all of the essays, from the transgender themselves…not the GLB as a whole.
2. Surely the transgender realize they have almost no support in any of Bilerico’s essays from the GLB…or any forum.
3. Once again, gay men are speaking to transgender and classic transsexual issues when they have no insight into them and SHOULD NOt DO SO.
4. Where was the support from the gays and lesbians for the transgender in all of these blog posts…certainly not in any of the comment sections?
5. The transgender, in spite of the above are so insecure they still support the GLBT contruct as of it was a “blanky nite nite.”
What a sad, pitiful group the transgender are…a bunch of clowns. A major GLB blog posts a blog essay of the worst content, by an honest gay man, only offending the transgender, the blog essay in question was de facto supported by the GLBT as a whole due to the lack of a a groundswell of gay and lesbian criticism of the post…and still the poor transgender are quick to forgive and absolutely continue to support the very construct that defames, crtiticizes, and denies, in the worst of ways, their very existance.
What a hoot, ROFL…those silly queers.
I am a Christian; I am quite pleased with that. I’m not so pleased that I’m not a better one…but I continue trying to improve.
Perhaps, if not probably and singularly, the reason I exited the gender debate was because of that fact. Though my position on the issues had not changed, I felt I could no longer justify the teachings of Christ with the angry, hurtful, and often hateful way I was expressing myself on my blog.
Though I was forced to attend Church quite often before the age of fifteen or so, I seldom did after that time. Nonetheless, for the next thirty one years I spoke to the general concept of religion and specifically to Christianity as though I was the authoritative source on all things spiritual. The reality was that I was about as ignorant as one could be when it came to those subjects, particularly Christianity.
There came a time a few years before my final transition that I became aware, in a most conscious and sudden way, there was something terribly missing in my life spiritually. It was a time in my life when I could be and often was other people’s very worst nightmare. I had a dark side that others recognized, one that even my close friends not only disliked, but feared. But then things changed dramatically. Please indulge me.
Mike Penner, a long time news/sports journalist with the Los Angeles Times, committed suicide. Mr. Penner gained notoriety when he publicly announced his gender transition in that newspaper. His attempt at transitioning failed and a year or so later he resumed writing for the LA Times using Mike Penner as his pen name.
I would hope that no one holds anything but sympathy, compassion, and condolences for Mr. Penner, his family, and friends.
Suicide is simply tragic. My very best friends lost their daughter when, after a seemingly wonderful weekend with her family, she kissed them goodbye – smiling and waving – before what was to have been the twenty three mile trip back to college in her car, a routine that had happened countless times on countless weekends before. But…instead, immediately after climbing into her car, she drove nine straight hours and six hundred miles to Oklahoma, got a Taco Bell dinner to go, checked into a seedy motel, and ate most of the fast food…before then downing three quarters of a fifth of cheap vodka and then putting her father’s .44 magnum pistol squarely under her chin and pulling the trigger.
I have no stake in the gender debate.
Though I will admire those who will continue their fight against the transgender, I for one have come to the conclusion that it is futile to try and convince a group of transvestites anything. The transgender are fully wrapped up in intractable group think delusion.
IF…I had a penny for every time I was called a homophobe by the GLB and homosexual transgender I could afford a very nice vacation to Peru. Even though myself and others have consistently said that homosexuals should lobby and rally for whatever right it is that they don’t have yet feel they should, it appears that by standing up for our own heterosexual orientation we are somehow homophobes. Objecting to gay men speaking for us is somehow relegated to the demon category. Having issues with lesbian feminists speaking to the gender debate is shouted down. Our speaking up to this steamroller is silenced…by the gays, the lesbians, and the transgender.
Being called a homophobe is insulting. We are no more homophobic that the homosexuals are pedophiles.

On Fear and Hate
Hardly an article goes by on any transgender/GLB blog that doesn’t speak of the hatred and bigotry shown to the transgender by society at large. They are all convinced that society is out to get them, to discriminate blindly against them, to hurt them and to ridicule them and to make them feel inhuman.
I wonder where all this hatred is. Frankly I don’t see it, and apart from a very small percentage of the population who would hate anyone, even and including their own parents, I am not sure it really exists except in the mind of the transgender who drink the lemming Kool Aid served up by the numerous activists and leaders in the GLBT.
