FAKED OUTRAGEOUS TRANS STATEMENTS ARE NOT USEFUL
I have adopted a policy of not retweeting any tweet that claims to be a re-tweet of some trans excess or a tweet of something that supposedly a trans group says unless I can track it down.
I have been cross-checking and so far, some of the stuff I haven’t been able to confirm. The person who tweets it doesn’t have any information on the source to confirm that this was an actual Facebook post or Tweet.
When trans groups first said that some things were made up, I thought it was denial, but I can see that it is true in some cases.
WHY ISN’T THERE A BIG RESEARCH EFFORT ON STD’S: Answer, Respectability Gays.
https://xtramagazine.com/health/off-label-treatments-217336
In this article the person acknowledges that STDs are a Gay health issue. Some of you may have read my report on an exchange I had with a Gay member of the Stonewall Democrat Club of which I am a member. (Research purposes.) He just threw a fit and was so panicked that he led off his reply that vaccines only work on viruses. Hilarious.
The account of dealing with this respectability Gay person in in this article.
I am going to add a Gay health page for these issues.
This is an issue which a majority of Gays have a concern, but the neoliberal managers of the initialism avoid. It is practical issues in which you can get the Gay community involved and see the agenda of the Alphabet Soup. Also, it is a way to get Gay people that they deserve something out of a movement, out of politics, and their needs should be respected. With that, trans excess will be much less tolerable.
JUST REACTING TO TRANS EXCESS WON’T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.
Yes, some trans activist said this, or said that outrageous thing or written an outrageous article. Have you written a review? Have you thought through a critical rebuttal?

TRANS BULLYING OF DISSENTERS
It is fairly obvious that they hope to entirely eliminate anywhere on the Internet a place for a dissident opinion. Medium caved in some time ago. Originally, I was on medium before they booted me with some vague statement.
GREENWALD ON CENSORSHIP
MAYBE, JUST MAYBE YOU ARE REACTIONARY.
This post as much as any should explain why radfems aren’t necessarily allies of Gays. Some are basically are reactionary and censorious. The hilarious thing is that they are being subjected to the same censorious bludgeoning that they developed. Again, I am NOT saying all rad fems are like this, but some are.
GAY ART PAGE
I am going to add in different items here as I get time. I am not able to get previews embedded in Substack. There is a code embed part but I am not sure how it works.
Art, literature, music is used to build identity in each and every national movement. One reason we are vulnerable to trans ideologues, Alphabet Soup initialisms is that there isn’t an effort to build a Gay identity that would demand respect of itself.
We will continue to have these “queer” film festivals which will in the end not have much content for Gay men and promote the neoliberal idea that we are somehow just variations on queer.
There needs to be a Gay centric focus. Otherwise, there are just one after another aggressions against the Gay community without the building of a Gay consciousness movement.
NEWSLETTER COLLECTION SUBSTACK HAS BEEN UPDATED
“I AM A STRAIGHT GIRL” SAYS KAT BLAQUE
But still, she will talk about the Lesbian and Gay community.
She isn’t that unusual. The ideal for most trans is total assimilation.
As usual her videos are a mish-mash of contradictory assertions and illogical thinking and throwing out pieties that don’t add up to any coherent message.
However, despite saying how she isn’t queer, is super straight, etc. she still feels she is credible in discussing what the Gay and Lesbian community should or should not be.
HIV RESEARCH
As a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) I come across a lot of research articles about HIV. There has been a steady advance in knowledge. Though a lot of the work for the Gay community regarding AIDS prevention and support of HIV Poz people is good, I also feel that it has tended to support anti-sex attitudes. In San Francisco the bath houses were shut down as an anti-HIV measure, when it could have been a great place to do testing and education.
Also, it tends to support a class of social workers who do good work in the Gay community in support of HIV Poz people, but also tend to bring their social worker attitudes into the Gay community.
I don’t want to do HIV reporting, I think that others will do it well, but I thought I would report major milestone events in the progress against AIDS.
I do plan to report on how advances in HIV treatment and prevention have in the Alphabet Soup’s cultural, political and social views of the Gay male community.
The group La Tour realized that safe sex was carrying another agenda besides safe sex.
I MADE SURE THIS WAS SAVED IN THE INTERNET ARCHIVE SO THEY COULDN’T PULL IT.
PROGRESS ON THE GAY BOOK
I am on the chapter on being different. Getting a lot of my thoughts written down for the first time. WE ARE DIFFERENT. When you have had ideas in your head for years, but then you start writing them down, you start having additional thoughts and you are also clarifying your thoughts. It is intense writing in that you are doing a lot of thinking for each paragraph and you are realizing a lot of things as you write it.
But the first three sections of Chapter 2 are written and I am going to try to finish the rest. I am an activist in another field and so I have a lot. What happens is that I get a half day clear and I just write until I go to sleep.
AN IMAGE WHICH POINTS OUT THAT JUST SAYING SOMETHING IS SO DOESN’T MAKE IT SO.
The hegemonic narrative of some trans activists make identity all one thing and not the other, and privileged one factor entire over another. Feel free to use it.
I also started a place on my Substack where you can get images I have decided to share.
