FOAD Thursday: Disney Plus can FOAD

I am so tired of seeing breast binding and worse, double mastectomy being performed on psychologically vulnerable teenage girls, being normalized. 

The Twanz Cult would have you believe that people like me want the right to ridicule gender-confused teenagers. Far from it. Nobody should be doing that. What these girls need and deserve is a compassionate adult who will hear them out and give them coping tools, not an ideologically captured shill for the childhood Tran$ition Brigade. 

I was not gender-confused, but I was psychologically troubled as a teenager. I had an eating disorder. I was cutting and I had nobody I could turn to because the one time I trusted the school counselor and showed her the cuts on my arms, she immediately called my mother even though I begged her not to. Of course when I got home I got yelled at and got no help, which is what I knew would happen. I was eventually put in a psych hospital for a time and treated like a sub-human. This is why I don't necessarily advocate for revealing everything to parents. Sometimes it makes things worse. 

I just wonder how many of these transboys are being bullied and/or have been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted. I was bullied mercilessly all through school because I was socially awkward and not pretty. I was sexually assaulted by an older guy when I was 15 but didn't acknowledge it as sexual assault because the penetration was digital, not PIV. It took me 40 years to realize that my self-harm and other acting out got turned up to 11 after that incident because I was suffering from PTSD.

There is no such thing as a man who menstruates, and cutting off a teenage girl's healthy breasts will not make psychological comorbidities or events creating a climate for complex PTSD disappear.

And now, please excuse me while I go cancel my Disney Plus subscription. I've been meaning to do so for a while. This is the kick in the ass that I need.

Here is the reason that I gave Disney Plus for why I was canceling my subscription.

I cannot continue to support a company that has been ideologically captured by the extremist gender cult. The episode of Baymax promoting the idea that "men have periods" was the last straw. Recognizing biological reality is not bigotry, and transgender ideology should not be pushed at children. 

I am not a right-wing extremist. I am a registered Democrat who believes in equality for all. Promoting a dangerous ideology that reinforces sex stereotypes and encourages young girls to take cross-sex hormones and have their healthy breasts removed is not equality. 

Aside from that, the subscription is simply too expensive. I live on disability payments. I have felt conflicted about having this subscription for a while, but I'm definitely done now.

Comments Turned Off

 I have turned off comments for this blog. Nobody ever comments anyway, and I really don't have time to reply to comments even if someone decides to. I'm working on numerous projects and I just want to blow off steam about the ever-increasing levels of Crazy in the world. 

If you wish to interact with me, you can follow me on Spinster or Tumblr, although I make no guarantees that I will respond to you.

WTF Wednesday with Sly: Time to Take off the Blinders (and binders)

 

The winner of the Women's Skateboarding Competition is Shiloh Caton.

Ricci Tres is male.

The following is a response to a recent post from Women are Human.

https://www.womenarehuman.com/29-year-old-male-with-female-identity-beats-girl-aged-13-in-skateboarding-contest

I am a 57-year-old former nurse who identifies as a writer. I have never won a literary competition against others in my age group. Therefore, I have decided to identify as a 6-year-old. I will now whup the snot out of all the other writers in the early elementary school writing competition!

I'm sure nobody would ever allow this. I would be told to "pack it up and go home, Grandma," by those running the grade school writing competition. That's as it should be. Sure, I have ADHD, which qualifies as a learning disability, but intellectually I am on par with other adults and should be competing against other adults.

Males are physically stronger than females. This includes males who have found their inner Shania and so Man, they feel like a Woman. It doesn't matter how long they have been taking cross-sex hormones. 

It was amusing to see the Trans Cult hold Caitlyn Jenner up as an icon until Caitlyn, who won Olympic gold as Bruce, acknowledged biological reality and stated that transwomen, aka biological males, should not compete against biological females. Then the Trans Cult displayed how quick they are to pile on anyone who disagrees with them in any way, including transsexuals. 

I think most people who are trying to "be kind" really have no idea what's going on. They believe they are fighting against a bunch of religious right meany-means desiring open season to call transsexuals freaks and deprive them of basic human rights. What's really going on is sexual stereotypes being reframed as progressive. However, now instead of telling feminine men to "stop being sissies" or butch women to be more feminine, the script says feminine men should take female hormones and have their testicles removed and their penises inverted while masculine women need to have their healthy breasts removed and a phallus created from skin and muscle harvested from the arm or thigh. 

As if it could get worse, this whackadoodie bill of goods isn't just being sold to gender dysphoric adults. It's being pushed on vulnerable, gender-confused kids. Research shows that many of the girls who present with ROGD are on the autism spectrum and have psychological comorbidities that are being ignored in favor of the Happy Rainbow Teetus Deletus. Every so-called medical professional involved in "transitioning" children should be held accountable for medical malpractice. Sadly, I doubt this will happen.

The "Be Your Authentic Self" Lie

 

The "being your authentic self" gambit has been used by the beauty industry, the diet industry, and the plastic surgery industry forever. Consider the idea that if I were to lose weight, get asteroid-sized silicone breast implants, dye away my gray hair, remove all my body hair, and wear a crap-ton of makeup to hide my complexion flaws while covering my naturally scanty eyelashes with long false eyelashes, I would magically become my true self. It's bullshit. I'd just be a smoother, thinner version of me with fake boobs, dyed hair, apparently flawless skin, and long, fake eyelashes. I'd still have the same problems I have now, but I'd have to spend a lot more time maintaining a ridiculous illusion of youth while forcing myself to conform to a rigid set of beauty standards. Been there, done that. No, it didn't make me happy. It was an insidious lie.

The gender cult version of this lie is even worse because it pushes people with gender dysphoria to rush into extreme, irreversible, harmful measures to ease their distress with themselves. One can stop dyeing their hair and wearing excessive makeup, stop removing all their body hair, stop engaging in rigid, punitive dieting routines, and have breast implants removed. It is impossible to reconstruct functioning reproductive organs that have been removed, cross-sex hormones cause lasting and sometimes permanent alterations to the body, and puberty blockers are not the benign, reversible drugs that the pro-affirmation gender disciples want people to believe they are.

Joe Biden: Out of Touch and No Friend to Women

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xzKpYD534ig

Joe Biden is so out of touch. 

The choice was between him and Dump. The other parties count for nothing in the US. Many of us who voted Biden did so because Dump is a frothing-at-the-mouth, raving lunatic and is stupider than a box of turds. I'm also gobsmacked at anyone who claims that Dump is any friend to women. The man is the walking embodiment of sexual harassment, and everyone forgets his statement about punishment for abortion. If Dump were still in office, he would 100% be supporting Putin.

To be honest, I mostly expected Biden to be a non-entity. He has proven himself to be quite the puppet for the Kweer Klown Kommunity. 

I'm well to the left as far as welfare issues go, but at this point, the right makes more sense with the LGBTQWERTY lunacy. However, aligning with the right too much will hurt the LGB and women in the end. 

Women come out as the losers at either end of the political spectrum. The left can't tell you what a woman is. The right knows what a woman is: it's that lesser human that belongs in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant.

Delusional TIM

 

Okay, I have to admit, they probably do have the Blahaj advantage. I have no idea what Blahaj is, so I'll give them that one. 

Where do they grow these fresh boobs? Out in the garden or in indoor planters?

Inquiring Slys want to know.

The Never-Ending Hyperbole of Chase Strangio

 

https://elizamondegreen.substack.com/p/dear-chase-strangio?s=r

And now, just for fun, here's Cheese Stringio in he/him's infinite wisdom. 

Cheese, old chap, as a woman who has gone through menopause, I am a woman who can't get pregnant. I have never gotten the impression that anyone is saying I should pretend I don't exist or should stop existing. 

Women are allowed to discuss menstruation without having to acknowledge that there are People Who Don't Menstruate. In fact, I want women to discuss menstruation. It's high time it stopped being a taboo subject. Lay off the hyperbole.

Your Terven Pal,

Sly

Peter Pan Syndrome + Trauma = Gender Medicine for Females

A response to the following post from Eliza Mondegreen's Substack post about E. Page's interview in Esquire Magazine.

 https://elizamondegreen.substack.com/p/i-could-not-picture-myself-as-a-woman

"I could not picture myself as a woman aging."

The title suggests a degree of Peter Pan syndrome as well as untreated trauma and psychological issues. E. Page discusses panic attacks and eating disorders. Somehow, the cure for these issues is a mastectomy and cross-sex hormones to emulate the appearance of a male. E. Page does not look so much like an adult male as an androgynous adolescent. 

Androgynous adolescent is the goal appearance of many females with restrictive eating disorders (anorexia.) 

I was 32 years old when I was sexually assaulted in 1997. At that time, the En Vogue treatment was to prescribe drugs (SSRIs and benzodiazepines.) Not one doctor listened to me when I told them that I had been sexually assaulted. Their goal was to shut me up.

I experienced panic attacks approximately every 20 minutes from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep. Did I consider suicide? Hell yeah I did. It wasn't only the doctors that didn't listen to me either. My own family members told me that I had "gotten over it" when I was sexually assaulted fourteen years previously and I'd get over it again. I never mentioned it again.

I do not respond well to psych meds. SSRIs make me manic and psychotic, two things that I am usually not. I have paradoxical reactions to benzos. Valium is the only one that doesn't trigger rebound panic attacks, and it makes me thick as a brick. These drugs are not a solution to trauma.

After a year of struggling with no help whatsoever, one day the panic attacks stopped. I gave thanks to whatever powers there may be. I have no intention of arguing whether or not such powers exist. That really isn't the point. 

I wonder if my sexual assault happened now if I wouldn't have been pushed in the direction of transition even though I never expressed a belief that I was male or a desire to be male. I had a deep-seated hatred of my body that was there before the assault and was exacerbated after the assault. I was fully aware that what happened to me happened because I was female. Not because I "Identify as" female, but because I am objectively, biologically female. 

Never mind that I have never wanted to be male (other than when I was menstruating, a hell that I endured once a month for 40 years, and even then my proclamation that I wished I could turn into Guy rather than Sly was mostly a joke.) I genuinely wonder if the Gender Idealogues wouldn't have used the behaviors and distress of a trauma sufferer to push me down the path to transition and I wonder just how many trans-identified females are also suffering from PTSD.
