I was filling out an application for something and when it got to the "Sex" question, there were a few options. I took out my Sharpie and crossed out two of them, leaving only "Male" or "Female" as options. And then I checked "Female". I did this almost automatically, it was like something in me just rose up and resisted. I'm not usually the type to be that petty. Now I'm not necessarily proud of that, but I'm also not ashamed. I'm just really, really, REALLY tired of this being shoved down our throats. I dont care what people do, or how they identify, but I wish they wouldnt force those of us who choose to just follow science and the Natural Order of things, to accept cognitive dissonance (and arguably, mental illness). Plot Twist: Before accusing me of being a bigot, I'm a black woman. Who never cared anything about trans people, my attitude has always been "live and let live", but now I'm at the point where I just really want the loud and aggressive ones to go away, just fade from the fabric of society and how we shape policy.
** Also, I implore women of any race to really check on how trans men impinge on our sex based rights. Not all, but some of them want to erase what it means to be a woman.
There's more to being a woman than throwing on a dress, some lipstick, and a pair of heels.
I would never accuse you of being a bigot. You're a pede. And there was not a single thing petty about what you did.
Thanks for the kind words, fren. I often make reference to my race too, so that people will see that it's not necessary to demonize straight, white males, as if they are the only ones who hold conservative views. It's unfair how white men are scapegoated, and I want anyone who isnt on our team who may read my thoughts to not be able to just dismiss them as those of "a bigot".
It doesn't matter what your skin color is. To them, you're still a white supremacist just because you have a different opinion.
Oh yeah, I forgot! Guess its time to go get fitted for my hood and find the next rally in the backwoods, darn!
