Is it selfish for a transgender father to transition?

Transgender

SCENARIO: A middle-aged father announces to his three children (all under 16) that he’s going to transition. Is this a selfish act that violates the parent-child contract? The first thing we need to establish when answering this question is – what tends to be the effect on children when a father transitions to female? There will be trans activists who claim that transition within families goes swimmingly… and trans-critics who claim the whole episode fucks children up permanently and traumatizes them. QUICK ASIDE: One difficult dimension is normalization. We could find many cases where ‘in the end’ the children adapted. However, in the end, children can adapt to child labour and child armies. If the children have to live with a transitioned father then they will end up seeing it as normal. This does not mean that it hasn’t had a damaging effect. Unfortunately, this is something that we could…

1. Gender Core Theory – why am I transgender?

Transgender

The causes of the transgender condition As a civilization, we have definitively detailed and deconstructed millions of physical processes: everything from photosynthesis to fertilization, nuclear fission to solar power. However, there is one physical structure which we are nowhere near understanding: the human brain and its principal interface – the mind. Many processes which involve the human brain cannot be categorised or described in simple terms. In fact, there are many elements of our mental life that we are so far from understanding we do not even have the vocabulary with which to discuss them. I will illustrate this with an example from the animal kingdom. We are all familiar with nature documentaries that show thousands of beach nesting birds such as cormorants packed together on a remote strip of coast. Sometimes on these beaches a female hatches her eggs, but unfortunately, all the chicks die. When this happens she…

Opinion: is non-binary more a statement of personality than a seperate gender?

Transgender

Let’s begin today’s discusion with some reader input…   [perfect_survey id=”24612″]   Debate of the week: Round 1 FELIX: Okay, Anna…get it off your chest…what’s your problem with non binary? ANNA K: Non-binary is a concept that seems perfectly logical to us in the transgender community, but makes no sense whatsoever. It’s a violation of basic philosophy: trying to define a thing by what it’s not. Non-binary is like telling a waiter that you don’t want the chicken salad or the beef stroganoff rather than telling him what you want. Or an imigration agent asking your nationality and  replying ‘I’m non-Chinese.’ Not surprisingly, the agent’s gonna point out that he didn’t ask what you’re not, he asked what you are. If you feel you’re neither gender or both genders or whatever… then tell me exactly that. Telling me you’re non-binary is a redundancy as you’re only going to have to…

“Would a ‘real’ woman transition?” The most subversive question in transgender psychology.

Transgender

  I hate my gran. She voted for Brexit, she doesn’t believe in gay marriage, and she refuses to die and let me inherit her impressive portfolio of properties. However, she does have a compelling way of expressing her conservatism. She employs concise, Spartan sentences that leave you reeling for a comeback. She can also cut men dead with a gaze, dismiss a brilliant argument with a wave of the hand, and zero in with devastating rapidity on your personal failings. To be honest, her style of interaction is refreshing when you’re an academic who spends so much time in convoluted conversations and endless meetings. Needless to say, she is not very impressed with my research on transgender sexuality, or transgender women in general. Our conversation on the subject took the following direction… “Of course, Elle, you know the whole transgender thing is nonsense.” “Why?” “Because a real woman would…

SHARE YOUR OPINION: Is there such a gender as Non-binary?

Transgender

Before you choose an option on our survey (foot of page) let’s hear from this week’s opinion ranter: Anna Kamari. EDITOR: Hi, Anna: Can you briefly summarize why you don’t agree that there is a gender called Non-binary? ANNA: Basically, ‘non-binary’ is an expresion of your personality…not an expresion of gender. If you are a person who feels no affinity for masculinity and femininity as currently expressed in our society then that does not mean that you are a whole new gender… it simply means that you are a person who feels no  affinity for masculinity and femininity as currently expressed in our society. There are many words for this feeling, from ‘androgynous’ to ‘non-binary’ to ‘bigender’ – and they are all valid as statements of your feelings about gender… but they are nothing more than a statement about your feelings, personality and politics. So if non binary can’t be…

Do transgender girls have periods?

Transgender

Introduction Do trans girls have periods? Of course trans girls have periods… …periods of despair when they realize there are people stupid enough to ask the question. Why is it so stupid? Because the answer lies in the question itself. For example, if I asked you can a double amputee run a 3 minute mile, what would you say? Of course not, he’s a double amputee. He can’t run a 3 minute mile or any miles, because the intrinsic meaning of amputee disqualifies him from this. Similarly, a transgender girl, by merit of being a transgender girl, cannot have a period. If she was having periods, she’d have ovaries, fallopian tubes, a uterus and a vagina. If she had those things, she wouldn’t be a transgender girl. A transgender girl has a biological male’s reproductive system. That’s why she’s so f****** depressed and desperate to transition in the first place.…

Best advice ever on post boobjob care for trans girls…

Transgender

The reason this video is so important is because it stresses the importance of post operative care. Many trans girls think that a bad outcome is always due to the surgery itself, but sometimes those disappointingly spaced apart or misshapen boobs, are the consequence of inadequate postoperative love and care. However, while I highly recommend this video and the vlogger in general, I really wish someone would give the poor girl a brush!!!

Why are female clothes so prominent in my fantasies? Chapter 1 of ‘Autogynephilia’: the origins of the ‘transvestite’ impulse

Autogynephilia

Point A: a human is born a biological male. Point B: forty years later he wants to chop his balls off and change his name to Tammy. Question: what the hell happened between point A and point B? Where should we start if we want to understand the phenomena? Answer: at the beginning. CHAPTER 1 – The Beginning   The first cross gender experience for many autogyenphiliacs  is what psychiatrists call… a ‘transvestite’ experience. So, let’s begin by asking ourselves what a transvestite is, and how it relates to problems with gender identity. There are two definitions of ‘transvestite’: the savvy one – relevant and necessary to readers of this book – and a dumbed down version for members of the public and the psychiatric profession. The dumbed down version is this: a transvestite is a person who derives sexual stimulation from wearing the clothes of the opposite gender. The savvy…
