Dear **SenorBeef** , Lick my shriveled tranny balls. Some dudes would pay a lot of money to do this on Santa Monica Blvd., but – lucky you! – I’m inviting you to do it for free. Hurry! For obvious reasons, this offer won’t last long! Yes, I made a tranny joke, and I don’t give a flip of a wooden nickel. I have every right to be complicit in my own oppression.

Yes. Was it worth it for gays? Probably. Gay rights are “probably” worth it? Who the fuck are you to make that judgment? You can “probably” go fuck your hat. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > What are the number of trans people? Something like 0.25% maybe? Apparently a little over half a percent of people identify as trans, but from personal experience at least half of them are fashionably trans, and don’t actually have a body dysphoria. Oh, I know, you probably find that very thought repugnant, but if you actually interact with the SJW/tumblr/internet trans community you’d see a lot of them just want to be edgy and fit in and get in people’s faces “Ohhhh maybe it’s 0.25%… I dunno… I’m **SenorBeef** and I happened to pull this number out of my puckered sphincter. Wow, what a coincidence that it’s about the number found in the Gates study. Oh wait, it’s _apparently_ 0.5%, the number that _apparently_ is in a lot of the more recent studies. In any case, it’s not a lot of people. A rounding error, really.” If your personal experience comes from interacting with the tumblr communities, your personal experience is about as substantial as my load, and I shoot blanks. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > and clearly don’t actually suffer a medical problem I don’t suffer a medical problem. I suffer a **SenorBeef** problem. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > I’m not saying that this necessarily was a tradeoff that was made - but would getting gay marriage around 2012 instead of 2022 worth Trump? “I’m not saying we should consider using the oppressed as a bargaining chip… oh forgive me, that’s exactly what I’m saying.” > [@SenorBeef](#): > > You’re drawing absolute, philosophical lines. I’m operating on practical considerations. Using your logic, we should spend infinite effort fighting the tiniest oppressions, otherwise you’re as bad as any oppressor, right? Whereas I’m actually weighing the real world figures. How much political capital is it worth expending to fight (rather soft) oppression of 0.25% of the population? What about 0.0001%? Hey Zeno, why don’t you take your slippery slope, reductio ad absurdum horseshit and slap yourself with it? I’m not “playing their game”, and my rights aren’t “political theater”. It’s my fucking life. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > Edit: I’m not saying that trans rights aren’t valid and aren’t a real fight. It is. Stop backpedaling. Freely admit that you think I’m disposable. You’re in good company. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > But we’re living in a world where civilization has a significant risk of dramatically changing for the worst within our lifetimes because of an ongoing environmental disaster. Having a child is the most environmentally costly thing one can do. Which demographics have the fewest children? Oh, the gays and the trannies whom you’re throwing under the bus. Seriously, don’t blame the woman who’s sterilized herself. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > Kids these days are unable to go to college without a lifetime of crippling debt and may never own a home. Guess how many trans kids I know who’ve dropped out of college because their families disowned them. > [@](#): > > Workers are treated more and more disposably. In most states, I can be fired for being trans. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > Health care access is something that is becoming a luxury for the rich. Oh sweet Jesus. You absolute moron. You do not know the first thing about how difficult it is for trans people to get adequate health care. We are routinely denied service, not because of religious or personal convictions, but because doctors are unfamiliar with our health. I’m not talking about hormones or surgery. I’m talking about the run-of-the-mill basic care that everyone gets. Like I take estradiol. My estrogen levels are rather high, and this affects mood, vasodilation, wound healing and scar formation, blood clotting, etc. Do you know how many doctors don’t want to touch that? Now what if I’m on ethinyl estradiol? Or Premarin? Or Depo-Provera instead of micronized prog? Do you know how often we have to inform our doctors about how to treat us? My friends hoard hormones and needles. Do you remember the estradiol shortage? Have you had a pharmacist refuse to fill your prescription because they didn’t agree with you? Have you ever switched insurance providers, and then been told that the medication you’ve been taking for years won’t be provided until you go through a lengthy “gender assessment”? Do you have to order your medication from sketchy fly-by-night operations? Have you ever smuggled hormones across the Mexican border? (I have). How many trans women do you know with electrolysis scars? I have about 200 of them in my face. I’m now an electrologist who gives free work to people in the community specifically so others don’t go through what I’ve been through. I’m organizing a free therapy group with a friend of mine who works as a gender counselor. What the fuck are you doing with regard to health care access? Hey, if you get admitted to the ER, are you assumed to have a drug problem? A sexually-transmitted disease? Do you get used as a teaching aid, even if your concern has nothing to do with your genitalia? Do you worry that, if you’re in a car accident, the paramedics will just let you bleed out in the street? Do you know how many of your doctors fetishize you? Have you been groped by your doctor, and you just put up with it because you don’t have another option within 100 miles? Do you know of any endocrinologists that have fled the country because she accidentally killed two of her patients? Does your community have a doctor with the nickname “Butcher Brown”? Have you ever seen hair grow inside a vagina due to medical incompetence? If you have surgery, are you worried that your surgeon will carve your severed genitalia into the shape of a heart and post it on Instagram for Valentine’s Day? Do you think I’m making any of this up? When our concerns make it to the mainstream news or to the Senate floor for debate, do you have any idea how sanitized they are? > [@SenorBeef](#): > > These things are much easier wins than trans rights, much more important wins than trans rights, and should have a thousand times the focus of trans rights. And we’re not making progress towards any of them. So go ahead and pat yourself if you win a costly victory on trans rights while the rest of the world goes down the toilet. I can think of another group of people who blame the world’s ills on us disgusting trannies. You’re no different than them, and you all can suck a glistening turd from my blown-out asshole. Seriously, don’t you something better to do than bash us? Like a Tarantino movie to watch? Or some ill-fitting jeans to wear? Or some toenails to not cut? I don’t know what you bigots do in your free time. Just do it away from me. Christ on a cracker.
