A Declaration of Independence, Secession & Liberation from The Dictatorship of the Transgender Variant Umbrella

As transsexuals, our identities have been stolen, co-opted and our legitimacy as persons with a bona fide medical condition used in furthering the agenda of a coalition of peoples who want to legalize the change of ?gender? of male-bodied women once known as crossdressers, transvestites, drag queens, ladyboys, shemales, etc. and have them declared to be legally and fully female. They want to equivocate a change of gender as being identical to a change of sex.

Laws have been made in many jurisdictions due to the testimony of post-operative transsexuals about the need for protective legislation to help those who are in a process of medical transition toward sex reassignment surgery. What is not being testified to is the number of persons seeking legal status who have no intention of ever completing a process of sex reassignment- and as such are seeking perpetual transition protection. They seek changes in law to make change of gender no different legally than the change of sex that transsexuals undergo to become female by body and by sex? where transgender ?women? don?t want to have any surgery and wish to retain maleness by sex, by sexual anatomy and male sexual and reproductive functions.

But transsexuals and their ?medical condition? stand in the way of those who have no intention to change sex. To obtain hormonal therapy and surgery requires a diagnosis and to the American Psychiatric Association. in 1973 this led to the listing of transsexual as a mental disorder in the Daignostic and Statistical Manual III ? as if we had a pathological desire for self mutilation. By no small coincidence that same year, lesbian and gay professionals had succeeded in having homosexuality removed from that same list of mental disorders? thereby declaring that to be lesbian or gay is ?normal?.

What the transgender advocates want to do and have been trying to do is to depathologize gender variance and make it to be normal. That is to say that all humans have this ?bigender? potential and that to suppress it or confine a person to one gender (sex) of a two gender (sex) binary is not natural but is instead confining and restrictive.

But it is against the best interest of those who wish to normalize transgender as identity to allow the medical diagnosis and treatment of transsexuals. If gender expression and fluidity are free and ?normal?, then surgery is not required for all those who wish to change gender role. and if it is unnnecesary for all who are transgender, then maybe the medical transition of transsexuals is not really necessary, either.

They believe that all who are gender variant should be free to express gender without diagnosis or having to have costly, risky , invasive and potentially dangerous medical procedures to bring about a congruence of mind and body. Since ?sex? in their view is between the legs only and ?gender? between the ears, all that has to be done is convince the transsexuals that they only have to change their concept of gender and role and should learn to be content with whatever their anatomy was at birth.

To that end, ?Transgender? inclusion has sought to erase the word transsexual. At first the Transgender directorate colonized ?transsexuals? under the hegemony of their expanding sphere of influence labeled the ?Umbrella?. Then someone decided that all colonized and assimilated people were to be collectively unified under the designated label of ?trangender?.

It was this T and not the Transsexual T that was lobbied as the fourth party of inclusion in the new expanded league coalition of four teams, the L G B T. Everyone who was not included in the Transgender Confederation, the members of the other three parties seemed to be ready willing and eager to embrace the new term as part of the expanding mantra of L G B T? ?Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender?. L G B persons who had never used the word or had any regard for ?transsexual? people found the word suffix of ?gender? to be much friendlier than that of ?sexual?. But then again, they weren?t calling themselves ?homosexual?, and no one was trying to force the friendlier word ?homogender? on them, either and no one yet had found a friendlier term for ?bisexual?.

But the plan to abolish the word transsexual was set in motion.

A group caled the Transexual Menace was created not to promote the identity of transsexuals, but to assimilate them into the L G B Transgender World order. They chose to give themselves the name ?transexual? while removing an S in order to demedicalize or depathologize it as a diagnosis. But their intention was to usurp transsexual identity and equivocate transgender as trsnssexual and change of gender as the same as change of sex.

The Seattle Gay News never used the word transsexual regularly in its Calendar pages until 1993 and it did use the word dozens of times each week until 2006. Then suddenly the word disappeared almost totally and at the exact same time the leading ?transgender? organization in Seattle, the Ingersoll Gender Center also abandoned use of the word.

In the Orwellian Newspeak of the book, 1984. If you can successfully erase a word then people cannot conceive of opposition to collective mindthought. That is, if the word transsexual is erased or deemed unpopular, then no one would want to identify with such a word. The once popular word, transvestite was erased this way and it too was replaced by transgender.

Today there have been oxymoronic constructions of words used as a substitute for sex reassignment surgery including gender ?reassignment?, ?affirming? or ?confirming? surgery. Oxymoronic because it is a sex change and not a gender change operation? as surgery is performed on sex organs, primary and secondary sex characteristics, and not on ?gender? organs. But this kind of neologism extends further to cosmetic surgery. Millions of natal females have had cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearance. But when trasnssexual and transgender women have it done it has been gender blenderized into ?facial feminization?? as if whatever the other women were having done was something else.

Dr. Walter Bockting head of WPATH beleievs that transgender people collectively have a sexuality apart from those male or female which he calls ?transgender sexuality?? so he has now created the oxymoron of ?transgendersexual?. But the sexuality of transsexuals, transgender and gender variant people is still based on the sex organs brought in- and ends up being little different from conventional heterosexual or gay (lesbian) sex.

??I think that there?s a need to affirm transgender identity and sexuality? transgenderism was all about men spending time as women, or men becoming women, and women becoming men. Since the 1990s we recognize that transgender people are different from both men and women, they have their own identity, and MTFs are not so much trying to make a transition from male sexuality to female sexuality, but rather are coming out and exercising their transgender sexuality. We need to increase our understanding of how transgender people are different from both men and women, and how their sexuality differs from both male and female sexuality?.

? They have their own fantasies, their own behaviors, distinct from what non-transgender women and men experience.?

I AM NOT A TRANSGENDERSEXUAL! ?NO MATTER WHAT MY PHYSICAL, GENETIC & BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES ARE, THEY DO NOT MAKE ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN, SOMETHING ?OTHER? THAN A WOMAN. I DID TRANSITION TO FEMALE SEXUALITY- AND IT IS MY SEXUALITY? AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK MY FANTASIES AND BEHAVIOR IS DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER WOMAN?

?Even transsexuals who want to change as much as possible, become a woman as much as possible, even they are recognizing that they are gender queer, like a bi-gender person is?.

? We are now recognizing that a MTF transsexual is not simply a woman, or woman may not be the best way to describe that person?s experience, but instead realize that this person is transgender. That person probably has more in common with a bi-gender person.?

SORRY, I AM A WOMAN, SIMPLY A WOMAN, AND A WOMAN OF TRANSSEXUAL EXPERIENCE & HISTORY, BUT IT IS HISTORY!.

I AM NOT TRANSSEXUAL ?INSTEAD? OF BEING A WOMAN.

I AM NOT TRANSGENDER INSTEAD OF BEING TRANSSEXUAL

I HAVE NEVER BEEN GENDER QUEER OR BI-GENDER AND I HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH THEM!..

A major faction of the transgender dictatorship seeks the deconstruction of the dichotomy of human sexuality and abolish the sex binary of male and female to suit a minute portion of the population and to create a legal classification of persons other than female or male that some call a third gender (sex), including transgender, genderqueer, bigender, gender neutral, gender fluid, polygender, etc. They would like to desegregate single sex-only spaces and establish gender neutral or multigender restrooms, locker rooms, schools, jails, etc. where all must be allowed in.

Another group wants to legalize and equivocate momentary gender expression as equivalent to permanent sexual identity, particularly among those once known as crossdressers, drag queens and transvestites. These persons primarily describe themselves as belonging to their birth sex but occasionally they ?express? as the other sex. And when currently expressing a different ?gender? (sex) they want the legal right to enter sex segregated spaces of that expression regardless of their primary sexual identity.
