Here we have another Transgender Day of Remembrance, aka International Transgender Day of Remembrance is is an observance in memorium of those murdered for being 'transgender'. I am not speaking of chromosomal mosaic individuals who are truly intersexed. This is another genetic configuration entirely.
They like to use the word 'transphobia' to describe the condition which caused these killings, but I refuse to call a phobia hate. A phobic person is one who fears someone or something. A murderer likely does not fear a victim. The word, therefore is likely pure misnomer.
Said to be a day intended to draw attention to the violence endured by transgender people. It is my humble opinion that the pursuit of some feeling of entitlement for thinking you were born the incorrect sex is bound to be fraught with those dangers associated with being classified as a nut job by others who are not so inclined. The complexities of the human condition do not necessary allow a person to think themselves one thing when the implementation is entirely different from the realities of biology.
Yes, people certainly may be cruel. I have suffered my fair share of cruelty over the years. However, the basher of a trans person is not a person who fears them. It's a person who hates them for whatever preconceived notions may be floating around in their world view. For this reason, I consider the label 'hate crime' to be highly appropriate in this context. People who put themselves out there outside the lines of whatever 'normal' is are simply asking for those consequences which exist on those fringes they pursue.
This so-called transgender 'day of action' likely will result in even more bashing over time and alas, more deaths when those who insist on propagating this gender dysphoria hypochondriacal mess on others who aren't likely to believe that sex and gender roles are ouside the realm of genotype have some perceived fantasy called transsexuality forced upon them by a man or woman exchanging gender roles.
Many simply could care less about your feelings. The facts do not care about your feelings either. Your unacceptance of yourself and your gender is not going to be recognized by everyone on the face of the earth and some others will violently take you to task over their perception of what they view as perversion.
So, being the 'live and let live' type I am always most likely to simply allow you to be you and me to be me. However, I am aware of others in my circle who will draw down on someone attempting to flaunt this idea that XY genotype individuals aren't really male and XX genotype individuals aren't really female for this is precisely what they are from a physiological standpoint and some money grubbing psychology major applying various contrived labels as they seek a paycheck is about the only sympathy you may find in non leftist libtard environments.
Depending on your physical prowess you may be more or less successful with these combative people who find the concept of trans sexual affairs abhorrent. If you're passable and can hit like Rhonda Roussey you will likely have less problems than many of the less formidable trans persons out there. Also, attempting to force the notion that straight men should date transwomen will get you nowhere unless the man is a lot more inclined to swing both ways. I don't know which stupid human being put that thought into the heads of the trans nation but it is unlikely to ever be an acceptable situation with few exceptions of course. There are always exceptions however.
Your gender is not between your ears. Your gender is a function of your chromosomal makeup and you cannot change who you are regardless of how radical you affect your phenotype (physical appearance) in the presence of others.
It's a tough situation but caveat emptor let the buyer beware. Your acceptance is not up to me and there are others who simply will not accept you as a so-called trans man or trans woman. There are those of us who consider it to be unnatural to the point of abomination.
Regardless, live long and prosper. Despite how militant you may be in your pursuit of who you think you are there is an element of resistance when you choose to exchange gender roles.
