I understand why quite a few women don't make the distinction between transsexuals and "transgender".
I don't agree, obviously... but I understand. With women's rooms becoming mixed, women's sports being won by males who haven't even transitioned, rape victims being told they MUST call the dick that was just forced in to them "she", children being pushed in to transition, lesbians being told they're bigots for not taking dick, listening to AGPs go on about their "period" while being told discussing yours is "transphobic".... I know it's easier to just say "Fuck all of you!" to anyone who's been tagged anything even resembling the term "trans".
Part of me thinks I should be upset, being painted with the same brush as the likes of Oger and Yaniv. ...but the part of me that insisted I was supposed to be female in the first place... That part understands. I know it's in defense. This isn't some "bootlicker" post, or "I'm the good one"... This is genuinely what I'm feeling and thinking. I'm enduring a never ending smear and harassment campaign for saying things like "don't punch women for words" and "lesbians aren't bigots for not liking penis".
I'm seeing women stomped on left and right by people who insist on making themselves appear like me, and women are doing their best to defend themselves. I get it.
All that said, I hope you can bring yourself to separate the two.
If you do or you don't, either way, I will still be standing here fighting. In the midst of the smear campaign, I considered walking away. There's a calmer life available to me, it's right there, I just have to pick it up. ...but I can't. I don't have it in me to ignore what's happening. It doesn't matter how stressful this all is, it doesn't matter how much the flak I get from both sides hurts... I can't walk away.
If we can stand together, just tell me what I can be doing or what I should be covering in my videos.
