Always Sending Love To Trans People Everywhere

Here in The States - it’s no doubt been made much harder to navigate life’s challenges due to the political arson and sabotage of dangerous, untrustworthy people.

A day or two ago Donald Trump signed an Executive Order mean to further separate, intimidate, dehumanize and “other” people in the trans community. Red meat for the bigoted and amygdala-hijacked. Primarily but not limited to NCAA. This also affects public high schools, and the Olympics. Trump specifically anointing Kristi Noem as watch dog to enforce preventing letting international athletes who are trans compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Trump recently has also banned trans Americans from serving in the military.

THIS CRUELTY IS NOT NORMAL.

But is a feature among the emotionally and intellectually undeveloped.

This is not about trans. It’s not about the military. I’ll tell you exactly what this is about. White History is slavery. The legacy of white history is violence, Christian theocratic terrorism, murder, rape, betrayal, theft, criminality, dehumanizing and “othering” of people who are not straight white males.

Take the 1,000 foot view of Trump’s Executive Order limiting the rights of and oppressing trans people.

What is being centered, and has been centered, is white women’s tears and fears. For 5 centuries here the myths created by white people include the “benevolent, civil, rugged individualist, pioneer, peacemaker.” None of which are true of course but baked into this fiction small-hearted whites are addicted to is the myth that white men are “protectors of women.” And so then therefore for centuries we’ve seen violent whites use dehumanizing language against Native Americans, Latinos, and the Africans and Black Americans whom whites enslaved. These minorities who white people terrorized were portrayed as “dangerous,” “criminal,” “rapists,” “illegals,” “beasts,” “hypersexual,” “dumb,” “dangerous,” etc. And this fed into the ridiculous myth white men had some kind of sacred, holy quest to protect white women from these “beasts.”

So here’s another white blonde Riley Gaines on Fox News crying about how unsafe and offended she feels because of trans athletes. (Analysis of her self-hatred and internalized misogyny is for another time.) But whose fault is it that Riley Gaines is afraid of people she continually refuses to understand? This is Riley Gaines’ fault. She, along with other violent white male status quo enthusiasts have for centuries framed the American (and to be clear “American” to them means only straight whites in service to white male rule by violence) lived experience as what makes the violent whites comfortable, and what makes violent whites uncomfortable.
Do you see how they have intentionally distorted this? They’ve made it so that whatever makes violent whites uncomfortable is at fault and deserves the blame. Because after all according to white myths their whiteness means they alone are “holy” and Blackness then means sin, hell, and the devil. So if you’re following - in accordance with white myths about themselves - anything that threatens the ignorance and comfort of violent white status quo is a “sin” and grievous offense. See how they’ve taken the focus off their shame, violence, and neglect?

Riley Gaines and the other violent white status quo enthusiasts in regressive media have repeatedly chosen not to educate themselves, not to open their hearts, not to be curious, or fulfill their obligations to society as trustworthy adults. The onus is and always was on them. It’s important when we see this we point it out. And they blew it. They neglected their obligations.

Cruel, dangerous people know the systems in the United States have been set up to protect those in service to violent white male status quo. So historically these willfully negligent people have been protected by the police, court systems, and as we can still plainly see they are still inoculated from accountability from violent white male status quo media empires which intentionally frame the issue not as how shameful it is for bigoted whites to constantly choose hatred and fear, but rather (trans) people who violent whites have refused to understand, and are fearful and hateful of - have offended the ignorance and comfort of conformist, dangerous whites.

What white women are most in danger of is being raped, stalked, assaulted, kidnapped and killed by white males. THAT is the central issue being ignored and distracted from. Trans is not the issue. White men still being the apex predator is the issue. Everything else is window dressing meant to distract. Because so long as this problem cannot be named, it cannot be fought. And if the problem of white male violence were ever to be solved - complicit enablers protecting white male violence in media would risk losing their finances. And if they lose their finances they lose their power.

What an awful society we have to live in because of violent and deceitful white people who refuse to heal what they’ve done.

My love and support go out to anyone who works to promote peace.

My love and support go out to everyone who wants to do the work to heal what they’ve damaged. It is painful work. It requires humility, courage and ongoing commitment. That’s why most people don’t do it.

My love, support, words and thoughts go out to those in the trans community at this especially difficult time. I see you. I’m sorry. I’m really glad you’re here.
