I actually went to my first TDOR last week. I saw LittleLight read her piece and at the time did not know about any of this. I have run into similar entanglements on a community over in LJ so much so that I started a new online identity and it is only recently that I have started looking at the blogosphere more completely.

For what it is worth, thank you for posting this, and thank you everyone involved.

What is silly, is the trans identity.

That is incredibly rude.

Listen, I realize this is something most people are rather ignorant on, but can we leave trans-as-a-noun at the door?
We’re trans*people, trans*women, trans*men, etc; not trans, a transgender, etc.
And Bliss is a well-known troll going by yet another name–just ignore her stupidity and she’ll rot under her bridge.

I’m still trying to get over the “the only reason I’m a woman is because of all the ‘bad experiences’ women share. Obviously, as a trans, you couldn’t have suffered them cuz like you were a man and obviously of the privileged class.

Uh…jeez, please do NOT identify me only by my genitals and experiences. That’s a really narrow view of gender. It really is. I may not be transgendered, but damn, even I know one’s own sense of self is dictated by far more than genitalia and life experience.

I think it more saddens me that there are people out there who believe only they can be women because they’ve been oppressed by the male privilege. I don’t, and never ever will, define myself by that shit. I want these people off my side already.

Behind all the big words, Bliss’ argument comes down to the exact same thing asdf’s first comment was about; that trans reinforces the gender binary. Beyond all the ontological blather, Bliss’ entire argument can be simply stated as “The idea of gender is destructive and patriarchical; trans accepts the idea of gender; therefore trans is destructive and patriarchical”

What you’re just not getting is that the people in here, talking about others who were murdered for being themselves, aren’t interested in whether they are right or wrong. THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE. Even if they agreed with you about trans ideology in the abstract, THEY STILL ARE WHAT THEY ARE and would continue to be so, and would continue to be in danger from assholes and bigots every day. Whether your so-called “trans ideology” is right or wrong, destructive or beneficial, patriarchical or feminist, does not and will change the fact that trans people exist.
