Kurtis Tripp's documentation of vicious trans attacks on Gay men. Trans suppression of detransitioners, status of writing the Gay book.
VICIOUS TRANS ATTACKS ON GAY MEN DOCUMENTED BY KURTIS TRIPP
Ignore the title of the post. He has a huge archive of the vicious trans attacks on Gay men. This is well worth viewing and sharing.
I put a link to it in my collection of materials regarding transmen.
Just because my viewpoint is different than Tripp’s doesn’t mean I don’t think he is doing valuable work.
Recently he also documented radfem attacks on Gays. He is a hard worker.
EXCELLENT VIDEO REFUTING ARGUMENTS THAT GAY MEN WHO DON’T DATE TRANS ARE TRANSPHOBIC
UK LESBIAN AND GAY NEWS SEEMS TO BE JUST LESBIAN NEWS
https://twitter.com/LesbianGayNews
A lot of the problems Lesbians face with trans women demanding sex and other aggressions also happen to Gay men. So, there is useful information in knowing about that. Additionally, you can learn who is pushing this trans extremism, what the politics are. So, I am not saying don’t read them, I read them because there is useful news.
However, I am not seeing much Gay content. If they want to be just Lesbian news that is fine. However, it isn’t Lesbian and Gay news, it is just Lesbian news. That doesn’t mean they don’t have valuable news of interests to Gay men; however, there isn’t much Gay.
If we want to mobilize Gay men against trans extremism I don’t think the current content of the UK Lesbian and Gay News on twitter is going to accomplish that. To mobilize Gay men, we need to do some reporting on those items which the general Gay community will be interested in.
Also, the focus of Lesbian and Gay News is largely limited to trans excesses and there isn’t really any consciousness of what got us to the current situation. The question of what led to a small group of trans people to dictate to feminists and Lesbians unilaterally with the support of feminists and Lesbian and Alphabet Soup media isn’t asked.
ATTEMPTED SHUT DOWN OF DETRANSITIONING DISCUSSION
I don’t think detransitioning is a victory for the Gay community. This is about individual choice. However, what I do think is of interest is how trans extremists tried to shut her down. She speaks about the need to have courage to speak your view and opinion and experience.
The above is probably old stuff for a lot of my readers, but I am not assuming all of my readers are familiar with this type of talk.
STILL THINKING ABOUT HOW TO START THE METAPHYSICAL GAY BOOK
What is the core issue or issues on Gay life and being Gay? This book isn’t going to be a collection of social worker thoughts, but will start with the metaphysical questions about Gay existence and then lead to its applications.
I am trying to think how I raise the essential issues in the first few paragraphs and do it with thought provoking ideas to get engagement. I don’t think the readers of this newsletter can even conceive of what I am saying. We are so conditioned to think of being Gay from the point of view of sociologists, doctors, and psychologists and within a community devoted to assimilationism that the issue I am trying to raise is even comprehended.
I am also trying to think of what we will call ourselves. For some reason Inner Temple Gays comes to mind, not sure why I am thinking that or why it popped into my thoughts. Perhaps because I imagine an inner Gay life existing in a straight world. Perhaps also, I plan to conceptualize a way of thinking of Gays that is a refuge from the straight world.
I will likely be re-writing the first installment on an ongoing basis since when you are conceptualizing something new, you likely don’t completely conceptualize it entirely or clearly or correctly the first time. Sometimes writing something done is just the starting point to think about what you are trying to say and a step to later writing down what it was you were trying to say.
There are a lot of other things I have to say, but I am holding off until this section is written. It is likely to be Essay Zero and prior to the other essays.
That is also why I am reporting still a lot of trans stuff despite saying we shouldn’t be over focused on trans stuff. I am not able to move on to other topics until Essay Zero is written.
