You know I still struggle somewhat with this entire topic. On the one hand, I've listened to enough detransitioner stories, listened to Jordan Peterson's interviews on the top and also listened to interviews with Dr. Grossman. My thinking has really evolved on transgender issues over the past year because of it. But I also had the opportunity to hang out a bit with someone I follow on youtube several weeks ago, a person I've followed on youtube for years. She's a transgender woman who has a travel channel. She's one of those people who you wouldn't necessarily look at and say 'transgender', but moreso than that, apart from a small mention in the footnotes of her videos, she never talks about it, she's a completely grounded and sensible person, her content is never about anything transgender, certainly not the kind of whacky stuff that appears on Tiktok. She's a complete contrast to people like Dylan Mulvany who are caricatures of real women and are frankly both an embarrassment to the LGBT community and to just people in general. Mulvaney is exactly the kind of people that I don't want to have anything to do with and who are damaging to LGB people.

And this is where I struggle still. I'm fully against transitioning children, full stop. That's easy and a no brainer. I totally see this practice as a gay conversion therapy and an abuse of children. I struggle a bit because adult transgender people are in a sense a different set of issues. When I watch this travel channel I mentioned, and I have met her in person several times, I think, here's a person I wouldn't want discriminated against because they seem like a well adjusted, happy person in life who isn't trying to force anything on people. I can send you a link to her channel so you can see for yourself.

This is where I think things have gone completely off the rails, as the Dylan Mulvaneys and nutty tiktop transgender influencers, and men claiming to be 'transgender women' after they've slapped a little makeup on and demand to be in women's spaces. Or the male Canadian shop teacher who wears Z-sized breast prosthetics in school and claims to be a transgender woman.

This is where I struggle, it's the transgender people who seem to be the quiet, not trying to make statements people who seem like decent people.

I have used the Reimer case as a point in some of my posts because you are correct it is important. As are AIDs and HIV... As I mention in my last post, Reimer most wanted to end intersex surgeries on babies.

Forces worked hard to prevent discourse and intersex babies remain game today across the US. CA leads the way in attempting to halt them but all the while they are one of the most egregious states for child 'gender' medicine. They are a sanctuary state for what should be criminal activity.

As a side note the first so-called 'non-binary' person Jamie Shupe just committed suicide. He was all over the news when he attained his 'non-binary' status.

I did not watch those videos but I recommend a book by John Colapinto on Reimer. https://www.harperacademic.com/book/9780061120565/as-nature-made-him/

The suicide rate of those that have transitioned is high. This has been known for decades. I suspect this will only go higher as so-called transitioning is permitted at younger and younger ages.

As for 'non-binary' and 'nullification' surgeries, they are happening many places. My next post will touch on this world of anything goes.
