A quick statement and then to the story. I’ve been doing the blog for about eighteen months and I had a few reasons I wanted to do it.

Enjoy! men do this because it’s easier to be a women in a gynocentric society. that’s how oppressed men are they are willing to become women — and — There’s more benefits to being…… Continue reading Some idiotic comments about why we “want” to be trans
Growing more comfortable
I was driving back to work after a very nice lunch with an old friend. He and I have known each other for about twenty five years. We had a nice conversation, and we’ll get together again in a month.

In the debate, i.e. one side spouting unsupportable accusations and the other talking about the medical and biological realities of being trans, the terms biological sex and chromosomal sex are bandied about. Let’s not even start with birth certificates and the issues there. Biological…… Continue reading The lie of biological and chromosomal sex
