Have you considered homosexuality is actually real and not bad and maybe you're hurting people by blacklisting and demonizing them for experiencing it

Hi. Above is a screenshot of the timestamp when this ask was sent, almost three years ago. I have only just logged into this account again after having not logged into it for pretty much, five years.

To answer you, even though it has been three years and whoever sent this will likely never see this:

Yes. I did consider consider all of these things, and, whilst this blog gained very little traction whilst it was active (thankfully), it has honestly been haunting me these past few years that I was furthering an ideology that is extremely misogynistic and homophobic.

I know, if there's anyone active that still follows this blog, that they will deduce from this that I hate trans people, and I want to be clear: I do not hate trans people. I have compassion for trans people. But I hate trans ideology, how it is slowly eroding the hard-won rights of women and homosexual people. I hate that it is an extremely conservative ideology that has been repackaged with left-ified language. I hate how it reinforces gender. I hate how it validates the concept of gender rather than works to abolish it.

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness that is a product of the gender roles society has forced upon you based on your biological sex. The response should be to abolish gender roles, not pretend that biological sex does not matter. With what other mental illnesses do we turn to the patient and say the illness is right? It would be wrong and unethical to tell an anorexia patient that she is fat and needs to lose weight. It is wrong and unethical to promote 'transitioning' whether that be surgically, hormonally, or socially when there is quite literally nothing wrong with you. Gender as a concept is reductive and restrictive. Acknowledging that there is no 'correct' way to be whilst being your own biological sex is freeing.

I believe that transgender people deserve to be loved and to be happy. I believe that all people deserve to express themselves the way they feel best represents them. But biological sex is immuteable and cannot, and must not, be dismissed as being of secondary importance to how one identifies.

I didn't mean to write as much as I did, and so I'll stop it here. I will likely never log onto this blog again, either, but in the case that I do, if anyone has any questions to ask (in good faith) I would be happy to respond.
