Understanding My Trans Journey
I’ve signed off many posts on my blog with the sentence “The journey continues.” It’s time I expounded a bit on the meaning behind that.

Transidentité et misogynie – Ou comment le sexisme produit la « transidentité » | Chroniques du désastre
Par Nicolas Casaux.
L’idéologie transidentitaire confond — amalgame — « être masculin » et « être un homme » (et réciproquement, « être féminin » et « être une femme »). C’est-à-dire qu’elle confond les sens propres et figurés des termes garçon/homme, fille/femme. Elle considère que ce qu’elle appelle le « genre » (une affinité personnelle pour les stéréotypes de la féminité ou de la masculinité en vigueur dans notre société) doit déterminer le sexe. Si l’on poussait sa logique à son terme, il n’y aurait plus aucun « homme féminin » et plus aucune « femme masculine ». Que des hommes masculins et des femmes féminines, dont l’esprit et le corps auraient été réalignés grâce aux hormones de synthèse et à la chirurgie.

It appears just one of the emails was an internal communication noting an employee had received a request to change the sex listed on a driver’s license. The rest, more than 80 messages, were from people critical of the policy change, including hundreds of pages of what look like spam.
I am proud of my community.

Canada’s Conservatives Now Silent on Trans Issues | Prism & Pen
If you’re trans and Canadian, you should know your likely future leader aims to discriminate against you. If you’re Canadian, you should realize Poilievre is the sort of person who will use vulnerable minorities for a leg-up. If you’re trans, you should be aware another country once noted for its acceptance is primed to change.
Well, that's disturbing. I was actually considering Canada as my escape valve should, Goddess forbid, Trump be elected.

I think that sometimes being trans is a beautiful, complex experience, and the trans experience – being a trans woman myself– can be reduced by some to gender expression. And so, being trans to them means that you want to wear different clothes or look different, but I think it’s something more intrinsic to our souls that is not acknowledged. Because it’s not acknowledged to be something deeper than how we want to dress and seen as something physical and external – because that is the story being told about trans people, I think – that some people think we can change the minds of young trans people and they may rely on what we see as psychotherapy – what should be seen as illegitimate psychotherapy – to do that. There is this perception that people outgrow their transness, and that is not true.
Big news y'all.
I've been approved by the insurance for my orchiectomy! It's going to happen! Crying tears of joy. 😂
