Give someone the gift of truth

I tried to find a way to state this that doesn’t sound self-satisfied or egotistical, which I don’t wish to put across. But all I can think of is this: I offer the following as a gift of truth, and the permission to see and say the truth, for anyone who needs it. I’m not specially insightful about this issue, nothing below is original, and countless other people know it.

What makes me different from the majority of people is my willingness to state these things without apology. Experience tells me that people who are more shy can benefit from this.

I’m writing this in case anyone finds it helpful personally, or helpful to share with a friend. Whether we like this or not, it is true that many people believe they need social permission to say what I’m about to say. Without seeing someone else say it, they won’t feel able to say it themselves.

This is especially true for women, though not exclusive to women. Women are much more likely to be afraid to tell what they know is the truth about social issues.

So here it is:

No one is “trans.” No person on earth. Not one single person, male or female, past, present, or future, is “actually trans.”

There is no such thing as “trans.” There is no such thing as “actually trans.” There is no such thing as “genuinely trans.”

There are no men in dresses who are “actually trans” as compared to those mean “non-trans men who claim to be trans.” Same is true reversing the sexes.

No one—not a single person on earth ever—is “trans.”

This is because there is no such thing as “transgender.”

You knew this, reader, just a few years ago. You knew it most of your life when you used the accurate term “transvestite.”

Humans did not change. You did not discover “new truths” in the past 10 years. The media and your friends asserted that new truths about gender were discovered, but that is not true.

No humans are “born in the wrong body” (no, having that feeling does not make the feeling a reality. That is a different question.). No humans have ever changed sex.

No humans are able to change sex. This is an objective fact of the real, physical world. It is not a political statement. It is simply true.

You can stop agonizing over whether someone is “really trans.”

They are not.

What you choose to make of this, and how you choose to treat people, is an entirely separate issue from the facts that I just wrote. And what I wrote is factual, regardless of the emotions it may evoke in you, or in other people.

If it helps to anyone reading this, or if it helps when presenting this to a friend, here is the “type of guy” who wrote this (me). No, it shouldn’t matter who I am or why—the statement is truthful regardless. But I recognize that some people decide what to believe based on how they are emotionally disposed to the author.

1. I’m gay and have been out as gay since 12 years old in 1986.

2. Until eight years ago at age 41, I was a hard-left liberal.

3. I spent most of my adult life as a registered Democrat.

4. I worked for a “social justice” type nonprofit for 20 years.

5. In college I did drag for performances.

6. I was the sissy boy in my youth that all you women loved to make a best friend out of (said affectionately).

7. You would have called me the “best male ally/feminist” if you knew me before about 6 years ago.

I realize that changing my mind may put me outside the reader’s sphere of moral acceptability, but I would like liberal readers to know they would have “embraced” me wholeheartedly. I’m not the threatening “toxic cis hetero male” they may be imagining (and that’s mostly not real either).
