"Diary of a Hole," Transman goes off the deep end, Gay Centric moment, On being Gay.
TRANS DEMANDING SEX FROM GAY MEN IS GETTING MAINSTREAMED
This article in the local alternative press in Seattle shows that the demand for sex isn’t just that of a few trans extremists on limited online venues.

The article is based on misrepresenting the lack of sexual desire for a particular trans person to something quite unrelated, reducing someone to their stuff. I have fellow historians, activist friends, but I don’t want to have sex with them.
Sexual desire is physical desire. I think this shows how these attacks are getting into the mainstream.
We need to share this widely to alert the Gay community. I think that the Lesbians might be interested also in this article. It shows how the UK publication Pink News denial that this is an issue is false.
I am going to be tracking to see if this article is picked up by other publications, also what the reaction is of the local Seattle Gay community is, in particular the “leadership” there.
I added this news article to Trans in the New Substack Page. The Pink News article is linked to from this page.
RELIGION – A GAY CENTRIC MOMENT
There has been an endless effort of various Gay Christians to argue that being Gay is acceptable to the Christian faith.
Instead, Christians should be arguing whether Christianity is acceptable to Gays. They should be pleading with us.
The question I am raising here in this specific short essay isn’t whether Gays should or shouldn’t be Christians. I can already imagine the Gay Christians whining and trying to misrepresent this essay.
I would suggest that any anti-Gay religion is fundamentally invalid. We have a place in the universe and if someone’s religion doesn’t accept that or is against it they are inherently invalid.
It is up to the members of that religion to make their case to us that they aren’t anti-Gay or that they have a plan to change that is credible.
Where are all the Christians pleading with the Gay community to forgive them for what they have done?
Gay Christians aren’t alone is in this begging attitude for acceptance with some institution in the straight world, but since Christians have burnt Gays at the stake — it is the origin of the term “faggot” — and as a whole comprise one of the major groups persecuting Gays, it is perhaps the most glaring and major example of Gays pleading to be accepted by a groups which historically or currently hates them. (Yes, I know that some Christians aren’t anti-Gay, but I am speaking for them as a whole.)
The problem is that the Gay community leadership, and much of the Gay community which unfortunately follows them, feels that it is a favor when some institution in the straight world says they accept Gays rather than it should be given that Gays have a place in the universe and the straights need to explain themselves as to why they are incompetent in their thinking if they don’t.
We need to stop begging for acceptance and expect that more than acceptance, we have a place in the community and not as a favor.
I think that there is a sort of soft internalized homophobia where Gays don’t really in their heart of hearts believe that being Gay is okay, let along thinking that it is a great opportunity. I think that it is perhaps the origin of so many of the issues misdirecting the Gay community.
LIBERALISM IN ACTION
The superficiality of liberal support for Gays I don’t think is recognized and really needs to be confronted. Since the conservatives and Republicans are actively campaigning against Gays I think the Gay community tends to give liberals a free pass. In one of the local liberal groups I am in, which was quoting Pope Francis as a moral leader on one thing or another since it aligned with their viewpoints, I did the following post.
ME Original Post: Let’s not hold up persons who are leaders of global anti-Gay organizations as moral leaders. Like Pope Francis.
[Comments follow.]
LOCAL LIBERAL: I agree that it’s gross, but his overall philosophy is much more progressive than his predecessors. There’s a reason why the right hates him. He tells too much truth.
ME: So what? He is the leader of a global organization that globally seeks to persecute and oppress Gays. He might love puppies, but Gay rights are important
LOCAL LIBERAL: True. I don’t agree with Catholicism but am also thankful this Pope seems to realize that the US is not a theocracy, and private religious belief has nothing to do with governance. I don’t think anyone is holding him up as a paradigm of moral ideology.
If we are going after all corrupt leaders, there are plenty of American ones in our own ranks to hold up to the light of day.
ME: This is a misdirection. He isn’t as bad as the others, so what? Also, a false opposite about holding him up as a hero, however, someone is actually doing that in this Facebook which is why I made the post.
Finally, you are engaged in whataboutism. What about these other bad people. I can’t criticize Francis until I criticize American bad people. What is the logic in that.
What we have here is typical American liberalism, not a lot of logic but a lot of sentimental thinking that doesn’t coherently add up.
Also, a real clear illustration where Gay human rights stand in the slop bucket of liberal thinking. Excuses for homophobes, misdirections for homophobes.
Notice, the excuse making for Francis. Francis isn’t as bad as his predecessors. Has Francis shut down the anti-Gay campaigns of his bishops around the world? So the right hates Francis, does that change whether the Catholic Church is a global organization that persecutes and oppresses Gays globally.
The issue also wasn’t Local Liberal’s religious beliefs. So Francis realizes that the United States isn’t a theocracy according to Local Liberal, does this change whether the Catholic Church is a global organization persecuting Gays?
Then there is a poisoning of the well, with the statement, “If we are going after all corrupt leaders, there are plenty of American ones in our own ranks to hold up to the light of day.” I am not going after corrupt leaders, I am going after an anti-Gay leader. This is what opponents do in arguments. You assert A and they misrepresent what you said as B.
Then Local Liberal says there are plenty of corrupt leaders in America. This is poisoning the well. This is a tactic in debating in which when you can’t win the argument over the issue itself, you attack your opponents character from which the opposition argument originate. In this case, Local Liberal, is asserting that I am picking on Pope Francis.
What this reveals, is that Local Liberal wants a pope to quote and really doesn’t care about Gay rights. By trying to position it as picking on Pope Francis, Local Liberal can avoid the issues of the Catholic Churches homophobia and very real actions persecuting and oppressing Gays and continue with Local Liberal’s happy sentimental liberalism. And in the end, Local Liberal’s statement, “I agree that it’s gross,” reveals that Local Liberal’s definition of “gross” perhaps isn’t our definition of “gross.”
ON BEING GAY
I spent most of last week brainstorm on the topic of being Gay and Gay life and how we value or fail to value being Gay. Just laid in bed and typed in notes into Microsoft Word on my smartphone.
Before I write about this issue or that issue or the other issue, I think I need a foundation in thinking about Gay life. I am going to start writing this coming week.
There needs to be a foundation on which a coherent strategy for Gays is built on. I think a philosophy of Gay life can be more than what sociologists, psychologists and social workers conceive.
ASEXUALS
This month I hope to have the article I wrote for medium back online. I am not just going to throw it back online with out review and rewrite and I am going to add in some further information found in my researches.
I watched a variety of YouTube videos by Asexuals. They say they aren’t anti-sex but state that society is “hypersexual” or other terms. One Asexual who stated he was Gay also complain that the Gay spaces were too focused on sex.
The other interesting thing is that they are not upfront about being asexual and may only tell the person after two or three dates. They even have sex with individuals to forestall revealing they are asexual. Clearly this is a deceptive practice. Some trans have strategies of deception also. I am going to be interested in whether the other Letters of the inialism are involved.
LGBT FOR TAIWAN
As of this Monday morning, 11/15/2021, we had 18 members. It is growing. I have been posting in Mydramalist and elsewhere that if Taiwan is occupied by Mainland China, we can forget future BL and Gay dramas out of Taiwan.
This is the plan of action I shared with the Facebook Group LGBT for Taiwan of who are the groups which we should reach out to, who is the opposition, and what we can do.

However, this isn’t a major focus of the Substack Newsletter or the Facebook group Gay Partisan. I want the Substack Newsletter and the Facebook group be more focused on the Gay movement and community here.
Though I think that the Gay community should have a foreign policy perspective.
