I don’t care. That’s right, I really don’t care.

I don’t care…who says they are what on the internet; to me, it’s way more important if I simply like them or not and what they claim to be or not be is unimportant if they are an interesting human being and can construct a sentence that holds my attention.

I don’t care…if Autumn Sandeen continues to refer to Mike Penner as Christine and violates the GLAAD Media Reference Guide by referring to someone opposite of how they publicly preferred to “identify” because everyone can see through her transparency.

I don’t care…if instead of focusing on Federal legislation to recognize post op transsexual’s rights the trans activists instead get bent out of shape at Saturday Night Live and Craig Ferguson’s late night talk show for I know that those same people will find fault in someone even if they have to invent an issue.

I don’t care…if Zoe Brain, a father with XY chromosomes claims to be intersex and have had a spontaneous sex change because even if that is true those who are intersex are no more likely to want to change their assigned sex than anyone else on Earth…a transsexual by any other name is still a transsexual.

I don’t care…if Monica Roberts thinks she is not a racist, she probably thinks she is not a bigot either, but it is amusing to hear her continued race based remarks while knowing she doesn’t.

I don’t care…that so many who claim to be transsexuals post photos of themselves before their sex change and yet seem obsessed with proudly sharing their pre-transition life with the world in spite of simultaneously lamenting how terribly painful things were before they transitioned.

I don’t care…that the transgender love to demonize me, my blog, and others who hold a similar view because we can instantly recognize a transvestite when we see one…so can everyone else.

I don’t care…if someone accuses me of having privilege and don’t feel obligated to jump on every bandwagon that comes along simply because there is always someone who has both more and less privilege than another; there’s nothing wrong with privilege.

I don’t care…if someone screws the system and then claims legitimacy through a loophole; if they can live with that then so can I…they’re the delusional one, not me.

I don’t care…that some are upset that they are not recognized as female because they act, look, talk, walk, write, appear, argue, and behave in every way as a male while at the same time stating they should not have to act, look, talk, walk, write, appear, argue, and behave as a female to be perceived, accepted, and recognized as one, in fact I think it is hilariously funny.

I don’t care…if someone claims to be a trans woman instead of just a woman for it is their problem if they want to relegate themselves forever to something less than or other than just a female.

I don’t care…if many of the transgender despise the gender binary yet insist on belonging to it by supposedly transitioning to either male or female while demanding to be referred to as one or the other gender.

I don’t care…if those who have recently transitioned feel that special legislation will smooth the edges of their life for they don’t realize that any success they may have with it lies in their ability to be perceived as what they think they are; just saying they are doesn’t make them so.

I don’t care…if some of the transgender think a man can become pregnant and that a woman can have a penis because that is so absurd and ridiculous it makes them appear totally out of touch with reality to anyone but some, not even all, of their supporters.

And…

And, I really don’t care…what issues Donna Rose is having with her travel arrangements.

None of this stuff affect me, and I don’t care…if the transgender thinks it does whether I like it of not…it doesn’t.

So, when one reads what is written here on my blog about some of the things I write above don’t think I really give a rat about them.  What would the world be without the weird and unusual?  Lighten up, I say.  All things seek equilibrium.  If any of the things above directly affect anyone reading this, then that person might need to reassess.  In many ways, watching the gender rebels is a lot like being in the audience of a carnival sideshow.

  1. Well you covered most of the bases. I’m heading out to go sailing on a 39 footer. Its a nice warm day and heading higher this afternoon. Now that I care about.


  2. “”If any of the things above directly affect anyone reading this, then that person might need to reassess. In many ways, watching the gender rebels is a lot like being in the audience of a carnival sideshow.”"

    It is very much so like watching a sideshow some of the time, sometimes it’s like watching Jerry Springer.

  3. I LOVE this blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    SA-ET, I really need your email to ask you something personal that will be of interest to the cause. Could you email it to me privately, and please dont share my email. Thanks

  4. You know what i wish?

    i wish i could go back in time and pick a less flippant online handle, that has caught me so much back-handed critical crap. i guess it at least gives people that hate my guts something to pick at (re: Rose, et al).

    ‘I don’t care’. Good philosophy. i’m going to try and renew my devotion to it. Sometimes i lapse and my happiness suffers accordingly.

    • I like your handle you tend to do a nice job of speaking for the younger of the silent majority.

      My handle just cuts to the chase I don’t make an air of being anybody’s friend. I’m independent and my handle adopts the “I Don’t Care” philosophy.

      And when it comes to the Tee-Gees I’m Not Your Friend. :D

      • And those of us who matter know who you are anyway, and respect that.

          That’s fine with me.
          I consider you, Susan and a very few others still out here to be safe and respected company.

  5. So much to love here, so little time. Really, you summed up so much of what I’ve been writing about and wish I’d written about.

  6. Richard sweetie you leave me speechless. Now that is very hard to do. I hope you can keep it up.

    • Who??

      I’m wondering why my messages are moderated

      • When I saw your question I had a disconnect. Couldn’t remember exactly what Richard had said so I checked my emails and found the deleted comment. Richard was trolling.

          So we are having troll trouble?
          That is truly sad.

      • You are not being moderatedno one is.

        • It was strange because the post I made said I was in moderation.
          Just more strangeness on the net I guess. :)

    Guess what? This really shows the truth. you don’t CARE. Why be so mean and yet spend a fortune on boats ir other things and proclaim how much you don’t care about all the daily and nightly suffering of your real family of trans people? I know you don’t care about me at all. So this is it for me this last year I’ve struggled with the spelling of transsexual – and I’m finally ready to just go ahead and start spelling it with one s. Since no one cares from that side of the divide after over 2 decades of being or trying to be an average female I know it’s all just about passing priveledge to WBT HBS people, so fine you have it and I DON”T CARE that you do. I don’t care how much money and power you have to use to become average anymore. If it was possible everyone would probably have transitioned completely years ago and I just think it’s hurtful and unproductive to always make people who are pre-op or have been unable to pass and woodwork successfully. I care about people. But I’ve had to wake up to the reality that no good deed goes unpunished and people are callous and feel that helping others is coddling. NO. it’s CARING. Caring about real people that need your help. That will fail without real help from real transexual others. We need each of us to open our hearts and our minds and homes and help in anyway we can. I have many skills and have always been there for all that ever chose to want to know me, call or meet and feel less alone, rejected or self-loathing. I care. But I will get it straight and act like I don’t.

    Cybele knows and loves her girls in all their forms. Love us too.

    • oy! … you in the oinkment jar

      Remove your fingers from your ears, quit with the hysterics and listen up! Being transsexual has NOTHING to do with passing privlege, it has everything to with BEING what you say you are, which in your case is a female correct?

      Nor does it have anything to do with your current op-status, but it does have to do with your intended op status. In other words, if you for WHATEVER reason intend to keep your junk, you are NOT transsexual no matter how many ‘s’..es you spell it with!

      Quit with the victim mentality … NOBODY put a gun to your head and told you to transition. Your personal problems are yours alone and nobody gives a tinkers cuss about them… Start being and stop trying to pass .. maybe then you will be seen as who you are instead of who you want to be …

      oh ..and what people spend their money on is none of your damned business!

      Now have a nice day :)

        that satellite rocket cost 424 million. Is that a waste or not? Every transexual on the planet could have been changed permanently for a lot less. It’s yours too. Whatever. Right. This isn’t rocket science – we all fall when we don’t stand together. but since no one cares it just doesn’t matter does it? Woodwork is nice. Wouldn’t it be nice if we were? Think of it this way…if we solved OUR problems with kindness and acceptance and real world support TG issues wouldn’t affect any of us. But no one wants to let love open the doors to their own secret girl, female spirits probably because they had to guard them so much from the world that wouldn’t let us cry or be happy about a pretty basket or a sugarcookie or our be proud of our first cake, or the recepies we shared with our friends or the dolls we longed to play, than junk cars, bullying, competition and being a ‘man’ is that really worth holding on to? I don’t think so. I don’t. I was not married. I did not have children. I did not date girls. They get enraged at Craig Ferguson over a dumb skit and light up facebook and some cartoon characters in Family Guy or South Park or SNL and they have lots to say about it, on and on, but not a word about real issues. Sometimes we just trade one piece of junk for another. Immaturity inside out, and empty nest of thorns where our heart should or used to be.

        Look, quite a while ago the regular posters here exclaimed in unison “your a married crossdresser” Not one person even tried or cared to get to know me and many of you do actually know me, or have heard of me. Well, I’m not knocking anymore. If everyone just suits themselves and thats all there is to life then I need to accept that and forget my own purile presumptions that there is some sisterhood of golden inspiration and acceptance and croning wisdom – just a collective group of strangers in the same place, say a supermarket, sharing the same space, intent on getting what they want; unconcerned with anything else. Maybe a little banter about this or that but never any substantive discourse, cronyism before croning and afterward what?

        This is highspeedts. I was girly boy, by 19 I looked like a FTM on steroids, acne hair all over and huge muscle and junk – I hated it all. Becoming a young man was like a disease – you’d try to explain to no avail – conform! Your a man! You have a penis! Puberty is a disease that family, school, friends and culture force and enforce and they act like it’s normal and you should be happy to become hideously transformed into whatever you become because it’s natural to them. The more you beg for help or try to earn it, the more they say your a man and accept it and it’s normal. You guys blame me for having a victim mentality or world view but I don’t I could be mad about all this but I’m not I just want solutions. For all of us. I do care, damn my female dumb spirit, I still care.

          There’s no way to argue with successful women, on reflection I just need to say I’m happy for the goals you all achieved and as much as I can ever expect to believe is possible – in truth women don’t help each other they live in competition – it makes sense now.
