Somewhere, Planet Earth. Some times I feel I have been fighting for all of my life. Initially my battles were internal and although I had a pretty clear idea from an extremely young age that my body was wrong, still the internal conflict continued; a war raged inside me driven by the conflict between mind and body. For a few years I fought to subdue the conflict and while that was going on internally my life circumstances trapped me. So eventually there was no way out but the war within however, raged on unabated.
Until one day I sat at my computers keyboard and out of morbid curiosity I typed the word “transsexual” What appeared before literally made me retch. From that moment on there was no peace. There had been an invasion from outside and an Empire with an occupying army that had stolen what I saw as my birthright and they had made it their own. It appeared that since around 1986 or thereabouts all transsexuals have been fighting what amounts to a guerilla war of independence. The once meek transsexuals have begun to resist. To fight back and tell this Transgender Empire that we have had enough. We will not deny you your right to your own identity but we will deny you any right to dictate what ours will be.Foreign doctrines alien to our own sense of self have been supplanted with new ones that fit only if we lie. Our real life narratives either stolen or called into question by the foreign power, an evil empire of dictators who seek to tell us how to behave and what to think. Our protestations fall on deaf ears. “We know what’s best” they proclaim, “we are not here to destroy we are here to make all things even and the same everyone shall be free in this Empire”. Everyone perhaps, except transsexuals. Science that would free us is discredited and subjected to ridicule. Disproved theories are elevated to immutable status. Challenges to the validity of doctrines silenced by accusations of subversion and counter revolution, our leaders subjected to accusations of foolishness and evil doing. Those who escape are lied about in their absence and their very existence denied. Quasi courts under the direction of kwango governments within this empire set themselves up to make declarations and attack dissidents who they try and convict of pseudo crimes. [cf. Note] Innocent people within our groups convicted of crimes that were once common practice. For years no-one has succeeded in challenging the right of this evil empire to dominate this particular piece of territory. Now the Empire has it sights set on new lands the time has come to destroy this evil and expose it for what it is. An evil and uncaring dictatorial regime illegally occupying territory to which it has no rights. Ever expanding into areas it has no business or rights. It has to stop and it has to stop right now. Transsexuals - and now recently Intersex people - have become freedom fighters against a powerful and evil enemy. This is a battle for freedom we must not lose. We are no different to the American colonies who fought for independence, the Followers of Ghandi who fought for independence. We are like those who fought against the Romans, the Greeks and the Ottoman Empire. We are in a war of independence make no mistake about that and we must win. We have to win, for if we don’t, our truth will never be heard and the lies will continue unabated. Generations of transsexual women and men as well as intersex will otherwise be subjugated under a political regime run solely for the benefit of those who have at best, a tenuous claim to legitimacy, because we allowed it to be stolen from us. It happened because we were too nice, too accommodating, too politically correct, too naïve, too busy getting on with real lives to be troubled by the demands of the “would be masters.” In the last few weeks I have noticed a wind of change. The once meek transsexuals have begun to resist. To fight back and tell this Transgender Empire that we have had enough. We will not deny you your right to your own identity but we will deny you any right to dictate what ours will be. Personally I have had as much of this “Evil Transgender Empire” as I am prepared to take. The end of your rule has begun. This is where it stops. You will be called on your lies; you will be called on your deceit and your attempts to take over and dominate resisted. NoteThe word kwango is the common parlance spelling of Quango, denoting a QUAsi Non-Governmental Organization. It may be a government-financed organization that nominally acts independently of the government, but reflects government policies and priorities.
