So Yeah...

SO with the new document (name escapes me) that was put out as trans being domestic terrorists. Personally, as a trans person, I haven’t had the notion to blow up government buildings or conduct any armed movement against the populace. It’s galling to think that somehow the minority, `1% of the population, is trans, for ages 13 and up. Having been a recipient of insurgent attacks, I don’t worry that much about getting ambushed on an Uber ride (or Lyft, whatever you use) by “trans domestic terrorists” that much. Now I’ve been openly trans for a few months now, and nothing outright has happened to me, and I don’t have to worry about a trans person slitting my throat if I’m “not trans enough”. Yet five or six trans members have openly carried out attacks against the public, and that pales in comparison to the over 4,000 cis (mostly male) shooters. All of a sudden, people are worried about trans this, trans that.

 

Having been a part of the trans community, yeah, okay, there are some crazy people, but I know of a cis woman, and she’s nuts, she’s my friend’s daughter, and she is kinda weird, and crazy. I’m more worried about her than some trans person, who just would like to live in peace and all that shit, and be pretty much left alone. Which returns us to the security document that the Trump admin put out, and makes me wonder what his beef with trans people is? Is it that he didn’t like it when he was with Epstein? There were mentions of trans boys and girls with the horror show that was Epstein Island. But overall, the trans people I’ve met are pretty cool and intelligent, more or less. I’m learning a lot about being trans myself, and have to wonder how we get classified as a threat to all mankind. Maybe it’s the need to create babies, and men can’t create one, so they either do it right, or rape some unsuspecting woman to get another baby in the world population, which doesn’t need any help with the rising population that it is.

 

So I’ve been planning this blog entry and it just amazes me at the bigotry of it all. So what if someone (or me) wants to be the opposite gender? What does it do to you as the reader? Does it affect you in any way? So far, before I knew a little about being trans, I had my biases, but never worried about trans people attacking me, and that just shows the ignorance that somebody has these days of the internet and connected world. It’s like people need an “enemy” to fight, and it’s like… why? I fought against people who didn’t give a shit about me, and so far I haven’t been killed by them, either in Iraq or Afghanistan, despite being outwardly out there to be shot at. And this brings us to the “Domestic terrorist” notion of trans in general. A kid wants to be a woman or a man, what’s that got to do with terrorism? And if you studied terrorism, you’d know that there is no clear-cut definition of terrorism. I mean, they act like they’ll find “pockets of resistance” to neutralize and so on, something a warrior has to fight when deployed to a shithole country, not the urban jungle of a city.

 

I mean, it’s like somehow that this ruling will “fix the transgender problem”, when you can’t legislate biology, though, so why are you wasting all of these efforts? I mean the determination is something to be concerned about, but on the other hand, transgenderism isn’t so much breaking the law. Maybe some biology laws, maybe, but if the human body can be transformed into another person of the opposite sex, then I guess no laws are being broken either. And that's where the courts come in. Trump can’t influence the courts, and that’s where they’ll always lose, unless you’re stupid and do commit a crime, then you’re fucked. But unless they can prove that you committed a real, honest-to-God terrorist act, worry about your daily lives instead. Because right now I’m not too worried about being arrested, despite the authoritarian attempt at trying to define a class of people as “evil”, when all they want is to be left alone and not dead. Get a grip, America, you’re dumb.
