Today I am thankful that I never had the displeasure of being threatened with rape by a man in a dress.
In fact, I was once spared an assault by a cross dresser. He helped me fend off an attacker. I miss Jim dearly. Sigh.......
I have never once been ridiculed, insulted, or physically attacked by a gay man, a transsexual, or anyone who didn't identify with social constructs.
What I am witnessing unfolding on Facebook and Twitter shocks the holy heck out of me.
I think of my friends who died of AIDS in the mid-eighties and cringe.
I think of the trailblazers who fought Amendment Two and feel incredibly sad.
I thought we had progress.
Finally, duos of men and duos of women can walk the streets without fear of being beaten by cops.
Finally, I can have a dinner date with my buddy who looks better than dresses than I do and not worry about what anyone will say or do.
Just when I think we've made progress, some misogynistic jerk has to run around shooting off his male privilege and threaten to rape women (and children, too). He'll do it because he claims to be a "woman with a dick".
Damn it!!
There are a small number of idiots who are ruining all that activists have worked so hard to bring about....
There are men claiming to be women who want public access to lady's restrooms.
There are men who are threatening to rape women who try to point out that women are assaulted in bathrooms. These are MEN who claim that they are WOMEN with DICKS.
I have a newsflash for them:
REAL WOMEN DO NOT THREATEN TO RAPE OTHER WOMEN.
Only misogynists do that.
I am considering another run for office. I haven't decided which office: I have until Mid-April to throw my hat in the ring. When I run, I do get to talk to the eventual winner. I will share what I have learned because few politicians have the time to actually research the issue.
After twenty hours of solid research. I have decided how I will vote if the issue comes before me. I made my decision based on the hatred that I saw across Twitter and the nasty comments that I received via Facebook. I will also stop donating to LGBT causes as of this day.
Sadly, today is the day that I have decided that I will never support legislation to allow biological males in female spaces.
It seems to be due to a guy named Cristan Williams (transadvocate [dot]com). His website is deplorable. It's like he gets his kicks putting down women.
I've also decided to share a link where a feminist has collected anti-woman hate male (Freudian Slip) from men who claim to be women. It is disturbing: http://bugbrennan.com/trans-people-say-the-darndest-things/
It didn't help that I saw this: https://gendertrender.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/who-are-the-males-who-sneak-into-michigan-womens-music-festival/
So no.....if you have a penis...you go to the men's room or pee on a tree. If you allow your advocates to threaten to rape women, you have no business in ladies restrooms. You give life to the idea that only perverted men want access.
I wasn't decided until I saw the rape threats against feminists from Trans Advocates.
If you threaten rape - you lose.
If you don't speak out against your people who threaten violence - you lose.
If you want the general public to change their minds, talk to the few of you who act like misogynistic men.
Change your PR - Change your Reality.
Until then you will continue to unravel years of hard work and destroy the very foundation of understanding many before you worked so hard to achieve.
As of now, the few of you who threaten women make it look like you live in a sick narcissistic delusion where women don't count.
You are ruining it for everyone else.
You are giving life to the idea than transsexuals are perverts.
Women count. You're going to learn this the hard way.
You are chasing off your allies.
The way I understand feminism is that they want to do away with gender constructs.
Isn't that what Trans Advocates want?
I guess not.
Damn.....I used to get mad at conservatives who called transsexuals perverts. I won't laugh anymore.
If you threaten to rape women - you're a sexual deviant and a pervert.
This was a wake-up call.
I am tempted to write an editorial and send a link to Planet Fitness.
Planet Fitness may be afraid of the activists more than they are afraid of their bottom line.
Women won't go where they will be afraid of rape.
If you are a LGBT group, associate with abusers at your peril. Their behavior mimics those of batterers who use their male privilege to abuse people they see as having less social power.
Wow.....just wow...
In sum, as long as trans advocates threaten to rape women, they are creating transphobia. They are doing it all on their own. They are self-sabotaging their own success.
STOP THREATENING WOMEN! START BEHAVING LIKE CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS NOW.
You are reaping what you sow.
Love ya,
S.
Here is some light reading for people who have yet to decide the issue.

Silly Edit: I did turn off comments due to the bizarre rape threats. Don't want to give life to the hate.
