Re: Petition to Stop Transsexuals from Using Female Profiles

Re: Petition to Stop Transsexuals from Using Female Profiles


Re: A “Petition to Stop Transsexuals from Using Female Profiles”

North Carolina’s legislature recently voted to bar transexuals from using public bathrooms other than the ones that correspond to their birth gender. This has never been a safety issue. We’ve all been sharing public restrooms with transgendered individuals for years. We’ve all been sharing the same restrooms with homosexuals as well. None of us are threatened by that. The state tried to make a case that they were protecting our from dangerous deviants. Their case is bullshit. Pedophiles overwhelmingly identify as heterosexual males. Most of them are WHITE males, which coincidentally is just the demographic that comprises the majority of both houses of the North Carolina legislature. I’m not implying that the bulk of North Carolina legislators are pedophiles. I’m just pointing out an interesting coincidence.

Other states are now considering bathroom bills, including my home state, Michigan. Another interesting coincidence comes to mind when I think of this- my state’s legislature is majority Republican, just like North Carolina’s! I suppose we have our pedophiles too. Whether they’re in our Capital or not is anyone’s guess. Maybe I should do some deeper research. Our governor is a mass poisoner, so anything’s possible. This ain’t much of a revelation. Wherever civil rights are being rolled back in America, you’ll find conservative Republicans, and you’ll usually find that they’re doing so for two reasons- they’re tossing out hunks of red meat to their base, and they’re trying to create a diversion from real and pressing issues facing both the state and federal governments.

We have increasing inequality of wealth, decreasing economic opportunity, rising healthcare and education costs, wholesale purchase of legislative bodies and corporate control of elections and election coverage in the media. The corporate parties and their puppets in the major media dangle a shiny object, like the rights of gay people to marry, the right of transgendered people to use whichever public washroom fits their gender identity, the right of women to reproductive choice- which by the way is the law of the land- and they distract the voters with these so called issues to divert our attention from the real and tangible problems that we want our governments to address.

And now we’re seeing a cheap and transparent attempt to cash in on trans bashing on this site by a formerly popular blogger who is very much put out that she’s no longer the top blogger. She apparently despairs of ever retaining the top spot on her own merits so she instead is trying to trash and tear down the current top blogger by insisting that the current number one is deceitful about which gender she identifies with. It ain’t so. Our current top blogger identifies as female, and her readers know that. She is honest about being transgender, and her readers know that too. The only deceit going on here is by the blogger who’s pretending to be concerned for our safety.

That blogger posted a “Petition to Stop Transsexuals from Using Female Profiles”. So, in the supposed interest of protecting us from being deceived by another member, the former top blogger is deceiving us herself about her own motives. It’s nothing more than bitterness and sour grapes. It’s mean and spiteful and it can’t work except with the most stupid and bigoted of members. And this is just what certain state governments are doing- trying to create a distraction in the hope that if they tear down the rights of others they can accrue more for themselves. It’s shortsighted, stupid, petty and wrong.

    I don't think the top blogger has ever tried to deceive anyone about what's between her legs, but I haven't read her blog, lately. I usually avoid the drama if possible, positive thoughts, positive thoughts ...ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm..
I'm sure you're right. She's never been anything but honest and very pleasant to me. People like her because she's genuine. That comes from her heart, not her genitalia.

Right on! I generally stay out of squabbles in the blogs, but this has spilled over into something else. It's opportunism at the expense of an innocent individual. I'd be ashamed if I didn't say something about it. It's gone on unanswered by me for long enough. Other bloggers have spoken out- it was past time for me to speak up.

It's been going on for a while. She's been beating that drum right and left, and sending out emails threatening watchers not to follow our current number one. She really ought to mind her own blog if she wants to get ahead.

Hell Cinn, I miss most of the shit that goes on around here- on purpose. But this has been going on for a while and it kind of came to a head today. It's an injustice to our top blogger, who never bothers anyone. I had to say something. I did comment on the petition post- I said it was unbelievably petty and just plain stupid. She blocked me.

Welcome to the club. I miss out on blog politics all the time. And generally I'm not sorry. But this is an egregious wrong being done to an innocent person, and more than that, to an entire group of people who are being scapegoated simply for being different from the majority. It isn't right. The opportunists using slander as their main weapon are despicable and we should say so , loudly and often.

Guess you can call old fashion but I think you are asking for trouble with this whole issue. Being a father of daughters and making a mandate of you choose which bathroom you want to you use I can see high school boys saying they feel they are female and using the women's bathroom just to perv! I am from Michigan and I hope our politicians tell Washington to go to hell. We are talking about less than 1% of the population. I am more worried about the perverts doing harm then making the one percent feel comfortable. I am just tired of all this crap you liberals think that is important. We have much more important issues in this world than bathrooms!

I did report this. The TOU is just a legal angle- but legal angles work. I agree with you. Her behavior IS disgusting. And she needs to shut up. If she wants that top spot, she has to earn it. It ain't hereditary, and she wasn't elected for life. Maybe we should all chip in and buy her a mirror. THAT'S where her problem is.

It is. I respect your sense of justice. I made my first comment on her blog today, and she blocked me for it. I expected that. Maybe I'll incorporate it into my signature: "Blocked by the Bully".

Our top blogger isn't at war with anyone. She just blogs like all the rest of us. There's an attempt to drag her into a controversy but she hasn't done anything to deserve it. It's not right, and I felt like I ought to say so.

What the hell "perverts" are you talking about? Your implication that transgendered people are perverts is pure bullshit. You have a lot to learn! Your daughters are far more at risk from legislators who would deny them full rights as equal citizens than from transgendered people sharing a bathroom with them. They are far more at risk from politicians who would poison them to save a few bucks. They're at risk from a conservative government that would deny them an education so that they can sell the right to teach those daughters to the lowest bidder. To teach them
"creationism" as a science.

I'm glad you mentioned that we have more important issues than which bathroom we piss in. That was exactly my point.

OMG, she is so full of herself, she completely fails to see the irony about bitching about misrepresenting oneself as something different. And to be that jealous of another 'woman'/person taking over the top blogger spot... for what? Who cares? Does it come with a prize? Does it get you $$$ to be Top Blogger? WTF is the big deal? I will never understand the need to care that much about something so insignificant in the grand scheme of things!
Oh, and her reference to the top blogger using "internet porn" pictures... Sorry, but the minute you post your own naked T and A online, it literally becomes internet porn, so she is no better than the other.

Leo: I ordinarily stay out of blog quarrels. But this went beyond a blog quarrel when a certain formerly popular blogger began making insinuations about our current top blogger. You know me. I don't care for the top blogger list. But right is right. It's persecution and it's pandering to people's basest instincts. We are all different, and most of us are more than a little weird. We ought to stick together and watch out for each other instead of making unfounded and divisive accusations.

I knew you and I would see eye to eye on this. The top blogger's followers aren't in the dark. They know what they're reading. The former queen is headed for the bottom, and it's because of her own behavior. How petty and pandering and crude can she get? I MIGHT feel sorry for her, but this is all her own doing. If she had just shown some empathy and understanding she could have turned this into a personal triumph, but she didn't have the have the brains or the sensitivity. She might have congratulated her supposed rivals, but instead she attacks them, every time. How sad. How stupid.

Who's gonna know, except maybe Trump, whose daddy was an orangutan? I'm not sure I understand your point.
