Once upon a time I was all for the trans cause. Then, as I started doing more research so I could be empathetic and understand my fellow human beings better, I started really listening to trans people. I went on twitters, read how miserable some people are even after surgery, watched as classic cult techniques like lovebombing and isolation tear apart nerd friend groups, & heard people yell about fetishes that would be considered HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE to do and support in public try and incorporate said fetish into the trans bubble with little resistance (ABDL).
One of the most confusing trends I saw was trans women having the tendency to be excited at how vulnerable they got (as in not strong enough to open the pickle jar, crying more, panicking over construction workers) after estrogen and embracing other female stereotypes. The bunk science being flung around about periods that took over women talking about difficulties they had with menstruation. The denial of respect trans women give to natal women's issues: but then, why would you care about the group you're trying to be a part of and belong to when none of those issues affect you? Why would you try and join a club and respectfully take off your shoes and participating in the meeting rather than track mud all over and steer everything towards your personal pet causes? Is that why you, personally, got into the justice system?
The more I read about trans people, the more I realized most were suffering even with HRT and surgeries. Most need more therapy, whether it's depression or eating disorders. Some are standard narcissistic parasites that always crop up in spiritual groups like this (as they only need to know the script/bible and yell it loudly to gain popularity). There's so many mentally unwell transfolks we subject to experimental treatment and surgery that usually worsens their state of mind as they realize... they're still the same person they were trying to run away from all this time.
You, Mr. Caraballo, are like a tiny yapping dog, running after whoever it sees as a threat, barking ineffectively. I don't send hate mail or act rude to yip dogs like you in person, preferring to roll my eyes and pretend that this massive lantern jawed man in front of me is someone I should regard as a "fellow" woman. I vote. I send things in the background to my friends, and inform how puberty blockers can and will lead to low bone density and early onset osteoporosis later in life. I spread the word, sneakily, informing my own trans classmate that if she did have an orochiectamy, she'd never produce enough testosterone to properly get horny again, which stopped her dead in her tracks with thought as we were walking down the hallway. The worse part is... I'm right. And so are the other women AND MEN who won't stop spreading around studies and factoids. They'll tell tales of how their cousins got hormones and regretted surgeries, they'll quietly oppose you and vote against you in the background as you ceaselessly and uselessly yip at transphobes online, convinced it's those damn dirty TERFS who are behind this huge wave of transphobia, that this secret cabal of women have been manipulating normies to be transphobic along with nazis and other facists you see out of the corners of your eye but always disappear before you can get a glimpse of them.
No. It's normal men and women who've done their research. It's those who listened to trans people, particularly the ones that slid through the cracks and are having utterly miserable times with no support from the trans community. "Don't talk about your bottom surgery fail, you'll make us all look bad." It's those who went deeper caring for their trans friends and realizing how rough and experimental the science is. One that stood out to me was a FtM who's kidneys went into shock and started dying thanks to filtering too much testosterone for his body to handle. Where is the justice for him? Not in the trans community, fuck that guy, I want my testosterone now.
Fuck you, Mr. Caraballo. Fuck off for recklessly endangering your fellow trans people and trying to ruin people's lives. Fuck you for fear mongering and keeping every single one of your trans followers scared and shaking in their boots in one of the most trans friendly nations on earth. Fuck you for being an indignant little bastard with a frail fucking ego who screams and pisses himself every time he sees blood in the water. I hope within the next 5 years you start listening to how miserable your fellow trans people are and stop shitting your pants over a FICTIONAL secret group of women hellbent on putting you into camps. I hope you live to see the fallout of future Jazz Jennings, of those who's lives were ruined by trying to use transitioning as a panacea for loneliness. And I know you'll learn nothing and continue to act like the absolute dickhead you are, ignoring those who genuinely need help.
Good health and kind regards,
A Concerned Samaritan
