A Final Solution to the Trannie Problem



Like waking up to find a virtual burning cross on ones front lawn. Not to over do the hyperbole (too late) or to make light of the racism suffered by African Americans. But that is the image that popped into my mind when I came across the submission given to Parliament by Dr. Joseph Berger in regards to Bill 279 described as a trans human rights bill and a bathroom bill by different camps.

Whatever you think of the merits of the Bill 279 lets be clear this NOT a case of transgender vs. transsexual politics, he doesn’t care where we are on the spectrum. He explicitly denies our existence, in his opinion we are nothing but unhappy psychotics.

When he says transgendered he means transsexual, those seeking surgery.

I will let his own words condemn him:

"From a scientific perspective, let me clarify what transgendered actually means...
Sometimes some of these people have claimed that they are 'a woman trapped in a man's body' or alternatively 'a man trapped in a woman's body'. Scientifically, there is no such a thing. Therefore anyone who actually truly believes that notion, is by definition deluded, psychotic."

As a psychiatrist he bases most of his reasoning on “science”. Really how is he any more qualified than I am to speak on surgical and neuroscience issues.

"what we are talking about scientifically, is just unhappiness, and that unhappiness is being accompanied by a wish – that leads some people into taking hormones that predominate in the other sex, and even having cosmetic surgery designed to make them ‘appear’ as if they are a person of the opposite sex."

I realizes that some people have difficulty in dealing with us but hopefully that group is becoming extinct.

He was invited to speak by REAL Women of Canada, now I am a conservative and no doubt share some of their small government views. However, a REAL conservative believes in personal freedom and responsibility, they don’t seek to stigmatize and suppress others.

After reading the doctor's submission I was shaking with rage. I can only imagine the horror that could well have befallen me if I had come out at a younger age and come into the care of such evil men.

It is a slippery slope from calling people whom you disagree with sick, delusional psychotics to locking them up and applying electroshock. And that did happen in the past to women and men like us.  

Talking with friends about this they both suggested perhaps the good doctor is perhaps over compensating….if that is the case he has my sympathy.

  1. What a perverse relief! I keep seeing all these indications that my friends North of the Border live in a simpler world surrounded by largely polite people (though they do say "aboot" instead of "uhbowt"). I thought this sort of narrow minded Faux Science was solely owned by our conservative pundits and Southern Bigots but here I see a Canadian spouting the same garbage! I'll just say, he needs to get out more and meet some of the people I know.

  2. April, I tease you quite a bit about our differing political views, but I agree with you 100% when it comes to personal freedom and responsibility.

    How we arrive at those beliefs may differ according to what we believe, but all of us on this journey *are* taking responsibility for our lives and *are* being true to ourselves.

    I'll end with a remark I once heard from Barry Crimmins, a great political satirist.

    He was asked about David Duke, the KKK Grand Knight who was running for governor of Louisiana. People were saying he shouldn't be allowed on TV to express his racist views, but Crimmins disagreed.

    "You do the opposite with these people," he said. "You give them all the attention they could possibly hope for, 24/7, 365 days a year. And you know why?

    "BECAUSE MAGGOTS DIE IN THE LIGHT."

    Just so.

    Thank you for posting this, April. This needs to be read by as many people as possible.

    Hugs,
    Cass

  3. Horrifying. Presumably then he must think that all the professional medical people across the world - doctors, nurses, entire hospitals - who offer services to trans people are defying scientific orthodoxy!
