Hi Robert, Yes there has been at least one Trans person reading this site and I have commented on some of the anti-trans posts in the past but to be honest I don't generally because I am tired. One way or another I have been fighting these battles for most...
This enrages me. For decades women have been fighting not to be seen as just a body with a vagina. It’s absolutely insulting. How dare they!
So pleased that the story on MIQ was picked up, and I hope there has been a complaint. It was clear to me that RNZ had been finessing this one. And I'm now very cynical about the whole 'Grounded Kiwis' saga, in that the numbers wanting to come back to NZ ...
I see that on this site it's ok to say someone you disagree with is disconnected from reality, yet you constantly say you're not transphobic, but there is is. This is why I choose to not engage with you any more, other then to point out the contradictions ...
Sounds like the US Republicans to me, so you've got your directions wrong there
Goodness gracious Ad, what has got your knickers in such a twist? Would you front up to a crowd where a significant number of people had threatened to put you to death, I'm damn sure I wouldn't. Why should she? As far as I'm concerned the moment that ...
My spouse was aware of my struggles before we married because, as I said.living the trans life, indeed any life with integrity is bloody difficult. The things you and your cohort say about people like me, regardless af any weasel words to the contrary, ...
Actually Sabine, us transwomen realise that very early in the piece when we lose our spouse, our children, our jobs, our faith community and most of our lifelong friends. Please don't assume that we somehow just all emerge like a butterfly from a cocoon. ...
There's no shortage of men commenting on this site and my comment was not about this site being anti trans, it was about you bringing up this RNZ report and implying that it wasn't anti trans enough for you. You, Anker and others consistently say you have ...
No, it's not a bit of light hearted nonsense, it is again the open mike being hijacked by anti trans people who "support us" so fuck you
Not that I am in any way an activist these days but as a transwoman I object to my identity being co-opted by these GIA's as a way to further marginalise women, in my view they also further marginalise us transwoman with this sort of tactic. Thank you for ...
The problem of course is the numbers, Trans women are a very small, almost infinitesimal part of the workforce and apart from a few invested academics I doubt there's much enthusiasm for a research project. I don't agree with the Stonewalll approach, or ...
You may well see it as a statement of fact, indeed it is a fact, but it is also a judgement and if you don't see that it may help to explain why your ongoing protestations of support for us transwomen is not seen as such
As a Transwoman I would like to just mention a couple of things here, first I don't know any transwomen who want woman to lose their rights at all, tho maybe there are some radicals who do, certainly not in my experience. Secondly, in response to ...
Oh please, if, and it's a big if, this is happening, then it sure as hell isn't being done by any trans woman.
Sorry but not the token, in recent times I have been commenting and I have clearly stated I am trans, and I'm ancient as well so i seem to tick both boxes and according to some on here I also tick the male box as well though I respectfully disagree with ...
Hi Molly, I wouldn't expect the change in process to make the actual transition easier, and I don't believe the process should be made easier either, for the reasons I mentioned above. Neither do I think that making the process easier will change the views...
It's simple really, they don't believe that I and people like me are valid and they do believe that I and people like me are somehow out to decimate and take over their personal spaces, well I'm not and those trans women I know are not but our words are ...
Hi Molly, I suspect it has to do with my own life experience of the struggles I went through to finally accept who I am. It took years and lots of therapy, lots of heartache, lots of lying to myself and others about who I was and what my life was about, ...
Thanks V, nice to be told what's on my mind, and that I'm "ableist in the extreme". I admit to not understanding what you mean by that but hey, as long as you do I guess it doesn't matter, certainly to you, if I do or not. I am a 64 year old trans woman, ...
"there is evidence that mental health outcomes for trans gender people do not improve even after transition" Funny, as a transwoman, who knows a lot of transwomen I can't say this is born out in my experience and that of my friends. In fact the main issue ...
The problem, Anker, is that if left until the age you apparently think is ok for a person to make a decision an awful lot of hormonal activity as happened that will have caused the development of secondary characteristics such as body hair, voice changes ...
6 Psychiatrist wouldn't be enough to staff any reasonable sized hospital in Australia, so when the numbers hit 60 or 600 maybe they would be worth listening to, only if they were prepared to announce their connections or lack thereof to Binary Australia. ...
Thanks Muttonbird, I don't know Lexie but I wish I did. Many years go I was probably capable of making similar arguments, now I think I have just given up and I live my life as anonymously as I can, which is not very because I make no attempt to disguise ...
Thanks Weka, I've been reading TS for over 24 years though I've only commented a handful of times, however I have never felt that I had to speak up on behalf of Trans folk until this GC/GCF business came up. At university in my 40's I was always welcome in...
The reason for little or no trans or ex trans comments on this list is, I would posit, pretty easy to discern from recent post. What posts you ask, the ones where lots of people on this list made statements of support for trans people at the same time as ...
DTB regardless of your declarations the fact is the 2 of the poorest suburbs have been left without any bus service outside of peak and only minimal services in peak, some services have in fact not run at all since July 18, people are constantly missing ...
The hippocratic oath is a peculiarly American thing and doctors in this country do not take such an oath
As a transwoman I find this attitude fairly common, sadly. Of course their 'reality of biology' takes no note of xxy, xyy or any other genetic variation. Truthfully, if I had had the information and access that young people today potentially have I feel ...
New Zealand can easily take more, and cope with them well. Matt Lawrey (Nelson City Councillor) posted this on Facebook yesterday - really makes you think! "What's on my mind? The refugee crisis and Nelson are on my mind. Did you know that little old ...
And worst flooding since the early 80's in Hokitika two days ago.
