| Kim Davis wants YOUR Rights. |
Yesterday, the spineless governor of my native Ohio agreed with the felon/pedo in chief tRumpt to send national guard troops to Washington DC.
The move was a stark reminder to me of how close we are as a
nation to a fascist state with a dictator in charge. And, on the battle lines
are transgender women and transgender men who at least here in Ohio have
watched as our rights have been taken away by a heavily gerrymandered Republican
legislature who prefers doing its dirty work under the late-night cover of
darkness.
I am extra paranoid because I vividly remember the gay/
cross dressers being rounded up in police buses when I was young in Dayton,
Ohio. I certainly don’t want those times to return for myself or especially for
my transgender grandchild.
Especially horrific are the Caitlyn Jenners of the world who
insist on supporting the regime in Washington. Obviously, they never really
learned how it was to have their rights taken away. Perhaps you noticed, I
refused to refer to Jenner as “she.” Recently, on a popular social media site I
am on, a rather spirited (to say the least) discussion about cross dressers and
transgender women. The moderator waded in with some sort of a statement that
cross dressers cannot be transgender women and tied the discussion all in with
the male privileges CD’s refuse to give up the way trans women have. Then used
Jenner as an example. Being smart for a change, I stayed completely out of the
fray. Almost.
I did use the example of the cross dressers and/or transgender
women I knew who were strong orange felon supporters. I will never understand
how they could throw themselves or the trans community under the bus and keep
doing it. Their excuse was, he couldn’t be that bad. Well, he was.
Then there are the comfortable gay and lesbian tRumpt
supporters who sat back in their shells and thought all the misery being
brought upon the transgender community couldn’t happen to them. Now Kim Davis
is back asking the corrupt supreme court to formally destroy the same sex marriage
ruling the gays and lesbians celebrated so many years ago. Now their refusal to
get totally behind the transgender community in our time of need is coming back
to haunt them. It could and would be coming around again.
I know one of the problems with this post is I stereotyped
too many people along the way. I know many in the gay, lesbian, and cross-dressing
community who don’t support the sick felon and do support the trans community and
that is powerful because we need everyone behind us in these desperate times.
Just imagine if you are a novice crossdresser trying to
decide if you want to attempt to jump out of your gender closet and are afraid
of being arrested. It’s uncomfortably close to happening in states such as
Ohio. The midterms are coming and make sure you vote from your closet for the
right candidates.
On the bright side (and there always is one), there are
pockets of support in major cities around the country. If you are struggling,
try to find a LGBTQ support group to help you come out. In the meantime, buckle
up for a rough ride and stay safe.
Sorry for the rant, sometimes I just have to vent.
