This is the third segment of an essay in six parts. Part 1, part 2. I don't mind people presenting themselves in a plethora of gender expressions. But I have a problem when someone's gender fantasy becomes a cultural "reality" forced upon others. I have a problem with perverted males who gender bend their way into females only spaces to assault real women in their restrooms or changing rooms.
Great piece! You express yourself very well and address all the pressing issues. In this powerful statement you wrote: "It has everything to do with fairness, and safety for women" and I agree with you 100%. It seems as if the world has gone mad. How can we look the other way when men are indeed being encouraged to mock and erase women? This is not normal, and far from fair or morally right. My father had five daughters (no sons) and he raised each one of us to be independent, to think for ourselves, to fight for what we believe in. He died 17 years ago at the age of 77 before this trans-cult madness had taken over the minds of an innocent generation - that generation being his grandchildren's. I have no doubt that he would have been appalled at the "Women of the Year" awards being given to men starting with Bruce Jenner aka Caitlin, and then Dylan Mulvaney. My father would have been furious for allowing men to participate in women's sports, to be housed in dorms with young girls, to be placed in female penitentiaries - there is no way he would have ever condomed this behavior. But at the same time, I am glad he is not here to see this pain and suffering and mockery going on around the world. I am still shocked at some of the stories I read and can hardly believe that this trans-movement-evil cult is still going on... I thought for sure by 2024 the truth would have won out and the pendulum would have swung in the other direction. We must continue this fight together, continue speaking out against the lies, and continue hanging onto the HOPE that this will be the last year the groomers, Big Pharma and the rich bastards get away with this crime. Thank you for your story - I look forward to the next one.
I doubt you’ll find much disagreement here, but the tide is starting to turn. Ohio, an important swing state, recently overruled their Governor by a wide majority and are preventing mutilating medical procedures of kids and men in women’s sports. It’s huge that, even through the trans money got to the Governor, the rest of the states legislators decided to back the will of the people.
Some of what you say is correct. However, as long as the Biden Admin has any say, they will be pushing the trannie madness. Trannie insanity is promoted in EVERY state that is Democratic-run or has a liberal bias.
The liberal bias in our country is still strongly promoting mutilation, trannies, and indoctrination of children.
I don’t disagree, but I’m cautiously hopeful that the whole cult will collapse as quickly as it rose. I think a lot of Americans started out open minded with a “live and let live” attitude. But then they started to see men, with all their male parts, dominating women’s sports. They started to hear of biological boys in their girls’ dorms at camp and started to recognize the utter re-writing of the English language to accommodate pronoun insanity. Many started to have friends who were transitioning kids who were already known to have serious mental issues. And importantly, a large percentage of “trans” kids themselves are detransitioning. I’m not a Democrat but I understand why someone who is pro-choice or can’t stand Trump would vote for Biden. (I’ll personally never vote for Biden.) But I also think there are a lot of reasonable people within that party who are going to start pushing back on the lunatic fringe that’s hijacked it. Anyway, you may be right but I hope I am.
This election is going to be about several issues:
1) The complete madness on the border
2) The complete madness of pushing breast mutilation on 13YOs
3) The complete madness of teaching K-g children about gender woo
4) Abortion
I can see several scenarious playing out. One that is quite persuasive is that Hispanics are completely nauseated and turned-off by gender madness. Blacks as well. Blacks are also coming to realize that Dems favor the illegals scum over blacks, and there is pushback in Chicago, Denver, NYC, Washington DC as these cities assist illegals scum instead of black citizen voters.
You nailed it. Of course you did because you lived it and are still. Thank you for giving words and clarity to what my gut and my mind have been telling me. My daughter is 21, believes she was born in the wrong body, lashes out at me for my hesitation and it is ripping my family apart. I do not know how to go on from one day to the next. This is worse than actually losing a child. I know from experience. I wish you well. And I am grateful for you.
5☆s !!! I look forward to more! We ALL NEED TO START STANDING UP **PUBLICLY**! Together! as one voice! & not just on secure, private, forums but in PUBLIC PLACES WHERE OUR COLLECTIVE VOICES ARE MUCH STRONGER. Until we DO SO this UTTER MADNESS will continue to dominate (& destruct) our lives!
Wow. This clear, compelling essay transcends the ineffable widespread horror of the trans cult with its obscene poisonous tentacles. This essay needs a wider audience.
Having worked in the world of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding for 40 years, I strenuously object to the erasure of women from these sexed activities. Biology and physiology are not contingent on your feelings, beliefs or identity, but on your sexed body. And the trans population is not, as they claim, the most "vulnerable" segment of society; that would be babies who cannot consent to anything and whose welfare is totally dependent on the behavior and actions of the women who carry and give birth to them. If you want to make up your own world, count me out: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/alternative-facts-cannot-create-an
Beautifully said. What a clear contrast, between someone with your expertise, compared to a bunch of men who can conveniently choose to disconnect intellectually from pregnancy and child birth, and think of it as mere sexual gratification.
Brilliantly written! You have a way of expressing yourself that describes the situation perfectly. ✔️
I hope that part 4, 5 or 6 delves into how we change things back. How do we get sensible people to realise that they are being brainwashed? How do we pull this ideology out of schools and government institutions and well ... pretty much all parts of society? How do we make it uncool so that the teenagers move on to something else?
Great essay. Talking of pronouns, my son has a partner - don't know if it's male or female, whose pronouns are 'it' and 'its'. When asked by a friend if my son would like his partner to accompany him, the answer was 'It doesn't like to travel'. I have to laugh because it's so tragic.
I don't go to Target anymore. There are so many of these generic looking young adults that I find myself staring trying to figure out if they are M or F? They wear awful clothing that looks dirty and wrinkled, they have greasy/dyed hair, they have numerous piercings on the face and IF they speak, their voices sound odd(from hormones?) . Not a single one of them looks happy! I would consider them "Its" (rather than they/them) because it's just easier!
So far, my favourite in your series. It also expresses the way many of us feel. Can I have your permission to repost it?
Absolutely
I believe you can repost anything that's on PITT
Thanks:)

Gosh , that's so well written and truly inspiring. I agree with every word you said there. Well done. Fairly hit the nail on the head.👏👍❤️

I entirely agree.
Due to my exposing the lies of the trans narrative, I and (many detransitioners) have a bullseye on our forehead
I don't care about my life
I could die yesterday. I feel I have lived 10 lives. But I want to protect my tiny family.
Please go public
But forgive me if I live in the shadows
You are a powerful writer -- and your have really marshalled your arguments! Keep it coming!
Great work.

Excellent.
Love, Indio.
Agreed!

Incredibly powerful and all very true. Thank you for sharing this.
