Okay, we separate the meaning of Transgender and Transsexual but I'm not sure that's a necessary distinction in the case of analyzing criminal offenders and the harm they pose to society. The anecdotal description of a sexual offender in the women's prison does not easily contrast with someone that is currently questioning their experience as gender dysphoria, or even compare, as they are not inherently correlative in nature. Gender dysphoria does not cause one to rape women. People who rape women in women's prison don't rape them because they have gender dysphoria and identify with them, rather they don't identify with them and they are a predator. 

The idea that I have to write this out as offensive and direct, in order to try and dodge the landmines set up by people with the best intentions to stop this kind of abuse is disgusting. Though not as disgusting as the anecdote itself, it is repulsive to hear people with gender dysphoria struggle so much to even hear it because people with gender dysphoria HAVE to know how it feels to bring up a very real thing and have people deny it and even ridicule them for having that experience. It's surprising and shockingly hurtful to hear trans people run a gaslighting racket unintentionally around literal rape victims.

The discussion I liked hearing was centered around the spaces people are regulating. The third bathroom idea is a good one, or individual and more secure solutions for ...relieving human waste. In my city, finding a bathroom alone can be a struggle and it's actually a pretty clock-friendly environment, meaning people will clock you and out you and not particularly care to think twice. I think it's because it's pretty inclusive. I still fear any public bathroom.

Because of the inability to address issues with sexual offenders in women's spaces, I fear the women's spaces right now. I don't want to look like a predator and I don't want to become prey. Because of how "inclusive" we are to the idea that men are inherently predatory to women and are often dehumanized, I fear men's spaces right now. I don't want to look like a predator and I don't want to become prey.

I have very little interest in sports. I like hearing people's ideas surrounding the effort to keep competition within sports. Authenticity of performance has always been a focus to the weirdos that like totem kicking and gambling >.< -.- I like watching martial arts, I wouldn't want to see Lia Thomas cave in someone's face that doesn't even fit the weight class. I would judge the SHIT out of Lia for that, hypothetically. I can hear the hypothetical calls for charges against Lia reigning over and raining down from the stadium benches and into the National Political stage. Hypothetically, all of the training Lia did ends up carrying no value, and the fight was not close, and the competition was overshadowed... and denied and rejected, and ignored, and ridiculed, and harassed, and threatened.... and their supporters the same. I feel horrible that women have felt attacked to the degree that symbolizing this metaphor IS necessary, as a tortured hypothetical analogy. 

I think, however, it is also necessary that we focus on the politics that are centered around policy. We've been setting the birdie back and forth, must we wait for the WIND to end this game? I refuse to plug my ears while women feel threatened, even if they feel threatened by me and my voice through some kind of psychological transference, because I can. Just because I can. Because who they are afraid of wouldn't unplug their ears, but I can refuse to plug mine and I will listen.

A strong man is an attractive man.
A strong woman is an attractive woman.

Well, to me, at least.
At least, to me.
