Some Middle-Ground Thoughts on Transgenderism

So since I’m a demon and everyone’s going hate me anyway, I thought I’d write an opinion piece on the trans movement! 😃 No, this has nothing to do with March 31st a few weeks back being Trans Visibility Day (which I admit is a lot shorter and more practical than a more appropriate name, like “Let’s-All-Point-at-the-Transpeople-for-Being-Different-and-Make-Them-Fear-Even-More-for-Their-Lives Day”). It also has nothing to do with the unbelievable stink around it happening to fall on Holy Easter Sunday this one year, though maybe if I hadn’t been so shy it would have been better to write this piece back then. 😬 It’s just something that’s been on my mind a lot and I want to talk about it! Specifically, I want to offer a middle-ground perspective on it, because with all the vitriolic polarization going on in Western politics these days, I think trying to find some kind of empathetic compromise is really badly needed!

There I go being shy again…

I was scared when I started this blog that after a few posts I would lose my nerve and stop. Well it looks like that’s exactly what’s happened. 😖 The Internet is such an incredibly mean and toxic place. Putting yourself out there and sharing what you want to share doesn’t just risk exposure to insults and bullying, it guarantees it – at least if you do it long enough. And I’m very conscious of just how bad I am at handling that when it happens to me. And so I quickly get too scared and bow out.
