I like many of you am a stealth transsexual, i have been transitioning quietly, and while i pass 100% of the time in public, there is still so much work to be done, in the name of bottom surgery and finalizing my legal status. My only desire in life was to assimilate seamlessly into the male population. I have no desire to be seen as trans. And yet i begin to wonder if the silent submission of transsexuals is endangering ourselves. Because many of you, like me are stealth, and wish to remain that way, we have no means to defend our community or our rights without exposing ourselves, and thus the entire “trans” community has been entirely overrun by mentally disturbed cisgender people who have declared that gender dysphoria is no longer a real medical issue. For a long while i never particularly cared what became of the “trans” community, i was frustrated being ridiculed and mocked by them for being rational minded and legitimately dysphoric, but i never bothered to protest. But things are changing and the American government is shifting in its allegiances, when the politicians look to the trans community to make decisions regarding the necessary protections we need, what they will see is a bunch of raving lunatics who all join in perpetuating the lie that gender dysphoria is not a medical condition, nor do you need dysphoria to be trans. These politicians who have likely never encountered many transgender people before in their life will observe this and conclude that “well, if these people aren’t suffering from any real condition, and their demands to be allowed to medically transition are based purely on personal style, then why should the taxpayer pay for their body modifications?” The misinformation spread by these trenders used to be annoying, but now it is endangering our rights. This needs to be stopped. For me, i am considering re-orienting my academic career, towards a medical field, maybe i can do my part by providing more concrete evidence of the reality of dysphoria. I would encourage any of you to do what you can to dispel the lies.
