No one hurt me anon, or well, those who did aren’t the ones who led me to my current beliefs

I grew up in a small suburban, midwest town that sat right next to open farmland. My family enrolled me in a Christian school I attended for 15 years. Meanwhile, any other social interaction was at a traditional evangelical church. They hurt me. They made me believe I needed to bleed the gay out of myself, or beat it out, or cry it out. Those scars are with me forever, but they didn’t lead me to my current beliefs

When I left my religious background and fully accepted myself as a homosexual, and the goodness of that love, I swung hard left. I spent my whole life fighting the urge to just accept myself and LGBT people. Now I was free to drown myself in queer theory, so I did

I joined an LGBTQIA+ organization, I even ended up a leader. I fully affirmed the gender identity of my friends and fellow members, even going so far as to affirm that heterosexual male members could be lesbians and needed special attention in the community. I identified as nonbinary after 20 years of HATING the idea of being “a man, ” and a growing discomfort with my male body

When cotton ceiling rhetoric came into my life though several “gay trans men” complaining about homosexuals being disinterested in the opposite sex, I ate it up. I talked with my friends about how there must be truth to their statements. There had to be something done. Gay men needed to change

So I went back to my roots

I spend a week back home, in the same house I beat myself in as a child, and just went back to beating. I spent hours reviewing photos, SFW and NSFW of trans men. Famous trans men. Everyday trans men. I pushed myself to look past my “prejudice against trans people.” I tried. I genuinely tried, anon. But nothing happened

I called my best friend, sobbing. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t get me bigotry to go away. I begged him not to judge me. His only response was asking “WTF are you doing!? You’re literally doing what you did in high school!”

And I was

I was pushing and pushing, trying and failing to find sexual attraction to female persons. And why? Because they identified a certain way? Because they were more masculine than traditional female persons are portrayed? Because they were attempting to pass as male?

The queer community hurt me, anon. I don’t know how long those scars will last, but even if they do, they still aren’t why I believe the way I do today

Do you know what community was the ONLY group willing to support me fully in my sexuality? The only people who answered my question, “Can I just be attracted to the same sex…and never the opposite sex?”, with a resounding YES were gender critical lesbians

When I asked people if I could, morally, be a homosexual, the only people who supported me were lesbians

I read what they had to say, why they believed the way they did, and slowly I’ve come to believe what I do now:

-trans people deserve equal rights to housing, medical care, work, and all the other aspects of civil life which they are often barred from or given unequal access. Trans people deserve the same access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that I think all humans deserve

-Dysphoric people should be given full and accurate information about their options for living a complete and happy life. Some of these people will transition and they shouldn’t lose equal rights because of that

-Children, however, should not be given body altering medications which lack proper testing and which cannot be easily reversed. Not when these children cannot fully understand their situation, not when misogyny is a leading issue that’s failed to be addressed, not when so many of these GNC kids will be gay and castrated by the process, and not when there is such a high likelihood for these children to detransition later in life

-Sexuality functions on the basis of sex. Lesbians are female homosexuals. Gay men are male homosexuals. Homosexual means exclusively same-sex attracted, and as such, gay people are not compatible with members of the opposite sex, regardless of attempts to pass as the same sex, regardless of gender identity, and regardless of willingness to try and change (like my past self)

-Intersex people are not a third sex, or proof of a sex spectrum

-Female only spaces need to exist. Women are oppressed as a class based on their female sex

-Gay pride and the gay rights movement were started by and for homosexuals. Homophobia exists and functions because of hatred for same-sex love and the absence of opposite-sex attraction

-Etc.

If these are the beliefs that make me transphobic…I can’t care anymore. These beliefs were formed by critical thought, research, empathy, and time. They are not sticking to me simply because of past trauma

If someone is able to provide evidence that my beliefs are wrong, I will relent. That’s what happened when I became an advocate for queer ideology. And its what happened when I became gender critical

“The modern cis dating market is almost a Mad-Max Thunder Dome dystopia. Anyone who has been in the cis dating market for some time finds to his dismay that cis-women in the modern dating market have more issues than Time magazine. It is a ruthless winner-takes-all-situation. Cis-women are hyper judgmental beings, and men have been reduced to being circus performers who have to constantly entertain the cis-women non-stop or face rejection.

Modern women have a plethora of issues which make them caustic; it can even be argued that modern cis-women would not get any male attention if the almighty love hormones were not at play. Add to that the vast majority of cis-women do not act feminine, care little about their appearance, and do not know how to respond to male affection appropriately.

The first thing that you have to understand is that, despite what the mass media and the society says, transgender woman are women, and in many ways they are probably the only women around. A transgender woman, due to her unique position of being born in the wrong body, understands the needs and desires of men in ways that are impossible for an average cis-woman.

A transgender woman responds to male affection with feminine gratitude, which is rare among your average cis-woman. Cis-women, with their mentality of entitlement, conclude that male affection and attention are their birthright, and hence treat the men around them like toys to be played with and discarded at will.

Transgender women are also very attractive, and a simple overview of a Transgender Dating Site will prove that the cultural myths about transgender woman are just petty lies that have no truth in reality. Trans-women take much better care of their appearance than the slovenly modern cis-woman.

The average man is so disillusioned with the dating market that he can be forgiven for his lack of enthusiasm. In fact, many men have just given up and are no longer interested in finding their soul mate. Men cannot be blamed for what is essentially the caustic nature of cis-women. However, men would be losing out if they allowed their lack of enthusiasm to stop them from trying Trans dating. Men have to understand that cis dating has reached its end and Transgender dating in the way of the future. It is about time that dating was about love and fun, rather than joyless work as cis dating has become.

TBH, yeah, it’s actually mostly feminists who have an obsession with making vaginas out of everything.

Comparing a vulva to a swastika?? You’ve got to be out of your fucking mind.

This time they responded with a simple note tacked in place of my poster that read: “trans women are biologically female and trans men are biologically make”

Update: Lesbians retirement community discrimination lawsuit dismissed

A federal lawsuit filed by a married lesbian couple alleging they were discriminated against by a Sunset Hills retirement community that declined to let them move in together has been dismissed, according to a decision filed on Wednesday.

The Fair Housing Act does not protect against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, the decision by U.S. District Judge Jean C. Hamilton concludes.

Who else was there. Who did this to her.

Ana’s occupational hazards include repetitive motion injuries and construction accidents, and she is protected by OSHA and workers compensation laws if something happens

Julia’s occupational hazards include rape, pregnancy, beatings, rectal prolapse, murder, PTSD, and sexually transmitted diseases. OSHA does not care.

Ana isn’t offered extra money for failing to wear a hardhat in construction zones

Julia is offered extra money for having sex without a condom

If Ana turns down a client they will go to someone else that can also safely turn them down

If Julia turns down a client they may react violently, or they will go to someone who can’t turn down clients

Ana’s colleagues are like her- they are highly paid and well educated. they all have many options besides being architects. Most of them are men.

“In a study submitted at trial with 854 women in 9 countries, including Canada, 89% of women interviewed said they wanted out of prostitution. In another study submitted at trial conducted in the downtown eastside of Vancouver, 95% of prostituted women interviewed said they wanted out of prostitution“

Also a reminder that “sex work” is not a neutral or objective term but a liberal one (tied in with economics) that specifically comes out of the 1970s United States pro-prostitution movement and is about an ideology that promotes the sex industries by using language to gloss over its harms:

Many in favor of the legalization of prostitution refer to it as “sex work” and employ concepts such as “consent,” “agency,” “sexual freedom,” “the right to work,” and even “human rights” in the course of making their defense.[1] Consider some of the common claims defenders of legalization advance: sex work is work just like any other form of work, only the social shame and stigma around sex prevent people from seeing it as such;[2] many (most) women[3] who sell sex chose to be there, so we should respect their choice and agency, after all they are in no different a position than someone who chooses a minimum wage job without better alternatives;[4] women choosing to sell sex is an example of sexual freedom and rejecting repressive norms that limit women’s sexuality,[5] so we should respect their sexually autonomous choices to sell sex for a living. - Why Sex Work Isn’t Work by Lori Watson

Also, many of the formerly prostituted do not support being called “sex workers” or them being prostituted being called “sex work.”

“In January 2014, 61 South Asian victims and survivors of prostitution as well as women’s groups representing communities marginalized by caste, class and ethnicity and antitrafficking organizations helping girls and women “trapped in bonded labour and other forms of servitude” wrote to Mlambo-Ngcuka to protest the new UN Women policy of avoiding the word prostitution.

“We do not want to be called ‘sex workers’ but prostituted women and children, as we can never accept our exploitation as ‘work,’ ” the letter signers wrote. “We think that the attempts in UN documents to call us ‘sex workers’ legitimizes violence against women, especially women of discriminated caste, poor men and women and women and men from minority groups, who are the majority of the prostituted.”

They are still awaiting an answer from UN Women, Gupta said.

Censoring comment about violence against girls and women is not new in the Commission on the Status of Women or in the UN more broadly. Nafis Sadik, the outspoken executive director of the United Nations Population Fund, or UNFPA, from 1987 to 2000, said in an interview in 2013 that there had been numerous attempts to silence her, often from pressure by governments.”   — Prostitution: A Word That UN Women Does Not Want to Hear | March 31, 2015

“Please be aware that the term ‘sex work’, which is found in your public policies and documents, came out of the US sex trade of the 1970’s. It was invented with the particular aim of normalising and sanitising prostitution for the public and for lawmakers in particular, and you have done a great service for those who profit from prostitution by your acceptance and adoption of it. Simultaneously you have also – inadvertently, we acknowledge – levelled a painful insult against us. We are, all of us, sex-trade survivors; the living witnesses of a dehumanising trade, and any acceptance of our abuse as ‘work’ further dehumanises us.“  — Open Letter from Survivors, Alliance of Women for the Abolition of Prostitution

And you don’t wear dresses like that to a construction site either. They WILL get dust and dirt and mud all over them. But ALSO, a dress is an extremely impractical thing to be wearing at a drafting table! My grandmother was forced to wear dresses early on in her career and it was awful. They said that was the dress code for women, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. But ties were also a part of the dress and sex wasn’t specified for that, so my grandmother wore a dress and tie until they finally let her wear pants. But this ad wants to convince me of its position by showing an “architect” in a tight as fuck dress and high-heeled shoes carrying blue-prints and visiting a construction site???
