An anonymous contributor shares the letter he sent a friend who had accused him of "transphobic" posts. There have probably been a few conversations like this happening in NZ over the past week.
What the trans lobbyists never explain is why and how biology is "transphobic" (or by extension, how those of us who believe in this are equally "guilty" of the "hate crime" of not abiding by their compelled speech edicts). I mean, if you want to identify as a starfish, an office chair or a lettuce, good for you, but please realize that this is not going to fly with everyone. That is the price you pay for creating your own world. You cannot purchase "authenticity" with drugs or surgery though, so maybe leave that one out of your argument. And sorry to say mammals can't change their sex, just their appearance. https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/are-you-a-mammal-or-a-reptile
Thank you. I so agree. And that the idea everyone has to go along with your personal announcements and ideas about yourself is "trans rights" and "trans rights are human rights". That we must suppress our own understandings and beliefs about the world and adopt someone else's or we are being bigots #nothumanrights
What a fantastic letter. It just covers everything that people should understand about the whole issue. I'll be keeping it and would love to offer it to friends who have bought all the lies. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Love your work. This post is being shared around a bit so I hope that cheers the author! It must resonate for a few people. I so get his feelings of astonishment about my progressive friends seeming to lose their bearings. And the heartbreak and bewilderment that this issue might ruin old dear friendships.
Over the past few weeks I've really started to hope that the wheels are falling off the clown-cart that is gender identity.
The collapse of the cult might be like Hemingway's quote about bankruptcy.
“How did you go (intellectually) bankrupt?" Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

Thank you for condensing my own position into this fantastic blog. Chris
All very reasonable and thoughtful opinions of course. 😊
Are the two comments at the bottom of the email part of the post?

Brilliant! Thank you to the author. I’ve saved this.

I will pass this on to the author. I felt really lucky to be able to share it.
