The Inside Person

     I remember a time when it was sound advice to tell someone experiencing a personal conflict to "listen to your inner person."  Whatever happened to that kind of advice?  I'll tell you what happened to it.  Trans people decided to pay attention to what their inner person was telling them and live in accordance to that.  All of a sudden, armchair psychologists began springing up everywhere, including the White House, telling transgender people that they're mentally ill for listening to the person they are on the inside.  You know... the person with the answers.  These people can be male or female, but mostly their male.  In either case, however, I call these people cissies.  I define a cissy as a cis gender person who lacks the combined intellectual and emotional maturity to allow trans people to live freely.

    I've been told that I shouldn't make such statements, though.  They say it'll only make cissies angrier and more hateful toward us.  But, that would be like a Jew having tried to assuage the Nazis in order to try and avoid the Holocaust.  You cannot play nice with oppressors and hope to not be oppressed.  It doesn't work like that!

    There are people who are otherwise decent people, who have been caught up in the anti-trans fervor out of ignorance.  They don't understand that transgenderism is a natural (albeit rare) variation of human identity.  To make matters worse, they choose to believe those they've placed in positions of power, as if that power lends a knowledge beyond that of professionals.

    In 2018, during his first presidency, President Trump initiated a ban on transgender people serving in the armed forces.  The American Psychological Association released a press statement in March of that year saying it was "alarmed by the Trump administration's misuse of psychological science to stigmatize transgender Americans and justify limiting their ability to serve in uniform and access medically necessary healthcare", emphasizing that gender dysphoria is a treatable condition (not mental illness) and that transgender identity is a natural variation of human experience.  That was 5 years after the APA announced it's determination, updating the status of the transgender phenomenon.

    In other words, it was a well established fact that establishment Republicans have chosen to deny for a dozen years now.  Don't get me wrong, I give no credit to establishment Democrats, either.  That's not the purpose for going on the offensive against the GOP.  My purpose is to defend a minority group... MY minority group... from the GOP's NAZI-like drive to annihilate us.

    Of course, they know that they can't just outright kill us, so they're attempting to legislate us out of existence.  They reason that if they can pass legislation exempting us from healthcare, banning us from public restrooms, etc... that we'll stop pursuing our minority identity and hand them the win.  That's appeasement!  It never works!  Study world history:  Germany's NAZI era... America's slavery era... the rise of Stalin, Mao Tse Tung (Zedong), and Idi Amin.  Appeasement never has stopped, and never will stop, the violence of extreme hate.  It is imperative that transgender people not succumb to the false hope of appeasement!

    Stay strong!  Continue to listen, and be true, to your inner person.  That person... your inside person... that's who you are.  That's who you are meant to be.
