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

Parents your children need you
I made the mistake of watching a piece of Dr Phil on You Tube about a trans teen and her mom. Irritating to say the least. Where do they find these people. However, I do know that the drama I saw plays out all the time. This is in two parts. First to the parents,…… Continue reading Parents your children need you
PEOTUS we pray you find wisdom
I don’t have great hope given the early signs. I was hoping you would back away from your positions on muslims and ease the fears of all the legitimate immigrants in the country. If anything their worst fears are being fanned into ever higher flames. I hoped that with the election behind you might have…… Continue reading PEOTUS we pray you find wisdom
To All the Good Men
I’ve known so many good men, and I still do. Men who would not think to touch a woman against her wishes, men who would not stand by while another was doing such either. Yet I’ve heard things over the years, excuses made for bad behavior and assumptions about what some things must be. Date…… Continue reading To All the Good Men
Really, men don’t do that?
If you read the last post I was talking about how M, C and I were sitting about talking about the things that girls talk about. In that were two interesting comments: M likes to hang with guys sometimes because they are just simpler, they are what they are Guys don’t read between the lines…… Continue reading Really, men don’t do that?
An Answer to Transgender Bathroom Access
I am disengaging from any public forum on this, because I have found it violates my rule about engaging with zealots. Zealots are capable of disregarding truth in favor of opinion. There’s a difference between someone who says after a discussion that they still have concerns or don’t agree with a conclusion and one who…… Continue reading An Answer to Transgender Bathroom Access
Transgender Access
There’s this issue of what’s appropriate for trans versus cis people. If we face facts we need to understand that the vast majority of folks are cisgender and their biological sex is not affected by any kind of intersex condition. It is therefore somewhat understandable that we get the simplistic notions that men have penises…… Continue reading Transgender Access
What is gender dysphoria
The underlying issue for someone who is trans is labelled as gender dysphoria these days. Before it was labelled “gender identity disorder”, but there was a fair amount of discomfort with the word “disorder” since it implies something awry. Personally I think it is reasonable to say that there is a general norm that genetics,…… Continue reading What is gender dysphoria
Defining yourself
What does it mean to become a women. I wrote at length about being a real woman, but that was mostly talking about biology. There’s much more to being a woman than biology, at least more to the female gender than biological sex. When someone transitions from male to female, the first stop might be…… Continue reading Defining yourself
A Real Girl
This is one place I struggled with for years and it was a major roadblock for me. I knew what could and couldn’t be done. I just knew I couldn’t be a real girl because and then I could list some reasons. It almost made me (in my head) like a trans exclusionary radical feminist…… Continue reading A Real Girl
