"On Transgender Day of Visibility, we want you to know that we see you just as you are," indeed!

See things as they are, this #TransDayOfVisibility, including predatory males and brave trans-identified people who choose not to be part of the "affirmation-only" #gendergrift.

Corinna Cohn @HeteroDorx is one trans-identified male who deserves greater visibility on #TransDayOfVisibility2023.

They are among the most reasonable voices I know on Twitter, consistently rational and kind.

Buck Angel @BuckAngel is brave here on Twitter, and also on their YouTube where they address real issues such as inappropriate targeting of youth for lifelong medical treatment and longterm effects of T such as vaginal atrophy, .

Let's highlight honest voices against predators who would push lifelong iatrogenic dependencies on minors, including @MsBlaireWhite at youtube.com/@BlaireWhiteX/…, on this #TransDayOfVisibility2023.

Remember early trans-identified icons such as #MirandaYardley, mirandayardley.com/en/, longtime friend of lesbians and trans voice in defense of lesbians.

Honor brave trans activists such as @NotScottNewgent, @NewgentScott,

, constantly speaking against the trans targeting of youth and honestly addressing the complications and dangers of phalloplasty.

Be honest about the sexual orientation of trans-identified males such as @LaverneCox,

, whose twin brother is also attracted to men (but with less religious baggage).

"Trans is not a thing you are, but a think you do," and the sooner we can be clean about that, the more clearly we can discuss the many public-policy issues that trans identity raises.



We can protect "gender" expression and single-sex spaces both.

"Trans" has never been one thing but an umbrella often pushed without appreciation for its true diversity, hollylawford-smith.org/talking-past-e…, which varies greatly by

• Age at onset
• Motivation for change
• Political awareness

We particularly need to watch for comorbidities in youth.

Too much of the "trans" agenda is really a male sexual-rights campaign, focused on "forced teaming" of inattentive liberals who confuse "identity" claims with LGB orientations.

This hostile take-over only hurts LGB goodwill and protections.

No, "trans" is not "the new gay." Let us be clear about that going forward.



Be brave enough to see that, and make the distinction, in ways that protect EVERYONE's rights to free and open gender expression.

Male bodies need NOT colonize female spaces.

Oppose the "gender" industry to support gender-anxious youth and other people who might fall prey to false "trans" promises of a quick fix.

Too much of the gender industry is a con and a grift, a business model packaged as a civil-rights struggle.

This is not "liberation" in the way many think, and we must be clear about that.

Buying homophobic and sexist stereotypes is not "progress" and never will be.
