GLBT aggression

After hatred, the next cry we hear is elitist or classist. And when certain people try to dismiss us we get that lovely old accusation of racism, delivered in the most racist tone imaginable. Over at Feministe, our friend Monica Roberts is given a rather free hand as a contributor. What’s interesting is that apparently, Feministe doesn’t care if its writers engage in racist behavior, as long it is the right kind of racism.

On a comment she made to her own recent post entitled “Stealth Was a Mistake”, Roberts said:

Once again y’all missed the point about this post. It ain’t about you white transpeeps. It is about MY community. But some of y’all vanilla flavored transpeeps MADE it about you (as usual).

” B the way Susan, as I’ve said to you and your WWBT friends for the last decade, you can run from being trans but you can’t hide from it, period.”

And so on.

The problem is that it is Monica who makes it all about other people, then denies it placing the blame on the other party. She likes to tell other people who they are (see the “can’t hide from it” statement above), despite total ignorance about real transsexuality. She calls everyone “trans”, a meaningless term, regardless if they even know what she means by that or not. She, like many of the TG, see themselves as the final arbiter of other people’s identities while crying foul if anyone questions theirs. This kind of hypocrisy goes unnoticed among their ranks, who cheer on this sociopathic behavior with glee.

If she would actually restrict her name calling to people who make the trangender lifestyle choice, real transsexual-born people would say nothing to her. When caught in the act, she turns it around and tries to play the race card, the class card, and whatever else is on the bottom of the deck. This is the standard GLBT tactic when trying to silence opposition from people who don’t want anything to do with them. And as the T in that acronym, the TG speak for all of the GLBT with their actions.

I’ll just repost my final reponse on that comment thread (with an edit or two for spelling, etc.):

No. Racism can come from anyone, anywhere, anytime. Someone does not get a pass simply because of their skin color- that would be racist in itself. I’m surprised to hear this sort of excuse on a feminist blog, but then again maybe not.

Monica’s incessant racism is a tactic to cover her agenda. For those who don’t know the real story, please let me explain. You see, there is a tiny minority of people born with a very rare birth defect. Science is coming closer and closer to understanding it all the time. It’s a terrible life-threatening problem and there is a high suicide rate among those afflicted.

Monica and her ilk come along and attach themselves to the problem. They use the lack of public knowledge about this problem to their own advantage, and then present themselves as the spokespeople for people who really do suffer from it. When the people who are really affected by this issue protest, they are re-labeled from men and women into trans-things, and told they are elitist for having a birth defect. Voices are silenced with false cries of homophobia and racism.

This crass misuse of these accusations does a disservice to everyone. My birth condition is not a joke, nor is it a gender playground for people who want to dress up in frillies. I am through giving these people the chance to reform their ways, because they have proven time and again they are the worst sorts of oppressor; they torture you with the approval of their own conscience.

Monica is a racist because she uses race against other people. End of story.

Transgender is a recently created word used to describe people who play with “gender”. Transsexual is a word that describes a birth condition. One does not turn into the other; you either are born with a transsexual condition, or you are not. Transgender does not own transsexual, nor does it own intersex which it is trying to absorb even now. People are starting to speak up against this appropriation and abuse by the GLBT.

One more thing about the “can’t hide” comment. And this really is the core of the issue here… By the “out and proud” status that the TG paradigm requires, the implict threat of “you can’t hide” is that the antics of the TG will follow the victims no matter where we go or what we do.

This is abuse, plain and simple. It is designed to terrorize and threaten, as Cassandra has written on her blog.

These people need to be called to account for what they are doing to those born differently, both transsexual and intersex. It is shameful. And they are a disgrace.
