For I was young, I missed the draft by some years. I still don’t know the direction I would have chosen. I’m not sure that, even now, the old hatreds aren’t still left unanswered for some that lived through that era. Funding for the VA, which should be robust given the promises made seem to…… Continue reading Is Life so gifted now to me?

A Call To Action
This is a different kind of post, especially for me. I’m asking that you pass this post to your congressional and state representatives, as well as other influential people you know and the leadership in organizations you belong to. I hope in this post to portray a fair and apolitical view of the facts about…… Continue reading A Call To Action
Why I Think our Current Treatment for Trans kids is Misguided
Until very recently, only a tiny minority of people identified as trans. People who said they were trans, if they got care. would generally have gender dysphoria. On top of this was a huge social stigma and social and peer pressure that actively kept many people from admitting to the problem. Understand that for those…… Continue reading Why I Think our Current Treatment for Trans kids is Misguided
Done with Quora…I hope
Over the past several years I have nursed what I can only call an unhealthy obsession with posting on Quora. To those unfamiliar it is basically a questions and answers forum. I answered all kinds of questions, and there was no problem answering questions about software, or counseling a teen that for their parent to…… Continue reading Done with Quora…I hope
Christmas is over
and I received a very non present via Quora. I like to think I have acquired somewhat of a tough skin but this one transphobe’s posting cut me straight to the heart. It left me in tears and unsure of myself despite all I’ve read about transgender people and my own experiences. Those have often…… Continue reading Christmas is over
But you can’t ever be a real woman (or man)
After my first question to the therapist, can you make this go away, we started talking about things and my primary issue was that I indeed could never be a “real” woman. This is something I’ve had to come to grips with, and it took up a great deal of mental energy at times. It…… Continue reading But you can’t ever be a real woman (or man)
Do you need to be gender dysphoric
I’m not a static person and don’t have static views. Every time I read a post from someone it has the potential to evolve my own views. I only consider myself an expert in my own personal experiences, not other’s. When people have asked me if gender dysphoria is an essential part of being trans…… Continue reading Do you need to be gender dysphoric
Why being a TERF is
Ridiculous. I found a perfect analogy. This is a fiction and I have many lovely converted friends, but pretend with me. My name is Claude, and I was assigned Protestant at birth. The doctor just asked my parents. They couldn’t ask me. As soon as I started Sunday school I knew there was something wrong.…… Continue reading Why being a TERF is
What is Gender
This seems to cause an awful lot of confusion, and it has only gotten worse with the introduction of so many other new words into the vocabulary. In fact, I’ll even say that beyond muddying the waters, these new terms like gender fluid and gender queer have some folks not believing any of it because…… Continue reading What is Gender
TERF partie le deuxième
Getting a rant off my chest. I made the mistake of interacting with some of these misanthropic, unconfident excuses for educated human beings and found myself quite disturbed. Let me start with gender studies. In studies at the university level we have the hard sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biologic as well as…… Continue reading TERF partie le deuxième
