Dear Readers,
Well, this whole thing morphed into something else.
I admit I'm a dinosaur. The state of being Transgender isn't what it used to be back when I started out.
Like there's two genders. Male and Female. Biologically there's also hermaphrodites born with both private parts. If you got a sex change operation you're going from one to the other. If you go through with it then your pronouns become that of whichever of the two genders you became.
Also the whole point was to embrace the gender roles of the opposite sex!
It was understood that transitioning is NOT for everyone, and that's ok. Sometimes it would take adults years to figure out if it's truly what they wanted. The community used to be supportive either way. People would take the COGIATI test multiple times over their life as a barometer.
Forced feminization was an online kinky fetish. A fictional genre that should NOT be emulated in real life.
Only a well educated adult can make the decision to transition for themselves after a lot of research, introspection, and figuring out what they really want out of life. It is NOT reversible for Men. If you want to have biological children to pass on your genetics then you have to do that first before transitioning. That's not a decision a teen or younger can make.
It is ok to never transition. It is ok to detransition. It's your life, and only you can live it how you want.
Flaunting that you're TG in public is foreign to me. People used to keep it to themselves. Point was if you did transition nobody could tell you had. Some did share their personal journeys online but for the most part it was a very private thing.
The new made up pronouns? Those are pure bullshit. Nothing about being transgender is gender neutral. Gender neutrality is a depressive void. It's like saying you're neither gender, being a genderless blob of cells. It literally defeats the purpose of being transgender.
I used to crossdress. I contemplated transitioning. I didn't do it. Back then it was cost prohibitive too. I wanted to have biological kids. It didn't happen, but I came to terms with my body. That wasn't the end of secretly being TG or even being Gensabi.
I am a dinosaur. A relic from a more reasonable past. I've kept my anonymity. I've seen TG purges online. Lived through them.
Violence is never the answer. I abhor that school shooting by a transgender person. The community used to be about love not hate. We were the persecuted not the persecutors.
If I were starting out as TG today I think I'd be peer pressured into transitioning, taking hormones, wearing female clothes in public, choosing some stupid made up pronoun that has nothing to do with becoming a woman. Then if I changed my mind be cast out like a rabid dog.
The A.I. thing was bad, but the attack on my own TG beliefs? For being old school TG?
It's time for me to retire. A backlash is on the horizon. Not only from outsiders but from within.
I do appreciate all the supportive comments.
This is indeed the end.
Sincerely,
Gensabi
