The White House has identified what they feel are grave threats to the United States. Their own verbiage has identified groups that they deem to be particularly dangerous. According to their own statement, they will “prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.”
Like a lot of what this administration is doing, the phrase “radically pro-transgender” is intentionally vague. What does radically pro-transgender mean?
Answer: Whatever they want it to
Am I pro-transgender? Obviously. Is my wife? My siblings? My friends? Absolutely.
But are we radically pro-transgender? Again, what fits the definition of radically pro-transgender? It’s vague enough (by intention) for it to mean anything they want it to. Is posting support for the LGBTQ+ community on social media considered radically pro-transgender? Is going to a Pride celebration considered radically pro-transgender? Is EXISTING considered radically pro-transgender?
It is if the White House wants it to be, apparently.
At this point in my life I am numb to being misrepresented and being demonized against. Being grouped with words like “anti-American” and “anarchist” is new, though. I suppose I am now (and likely you as well, if you are reading this website) part of a group that is, in their own words, that is targeted for rapid identification and neutralization.
As for the word “neutralization”, it’s defined as “to make it neutral or harmless”. How does one make an individual harmless? Many ways, and in moments like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if the White House took a very Machiavellian approach to do this. Although the phrase “radical pro-transgender” is intentionally vague, the president’s words in this same memo are very clear when it comes to this counterterrorism strategy: “We Will Find You and We Will Kill You.”
So yes, finding someone AND killing them IS a way to make that individual harmless, I suppose. An extreme way to do that, but these days I don’t think there is much the president wouldn’t do to make him look like a big tough guy. Threatening a marginalized community sure is a heroic act.
Also, nice punctuation from someone who claims to be a very stable genius. Nice sentiment from the recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize.
People who are “radically pro-transgender” are now grouped with others that the White House considers a threat. Please think about that. Please understand this will not end with the transgender community.
Of course, some people will try to defend this or say “oh, that’s not what he meant” or somehow blame Biden for… something. This president will always have his cult, and I know that, but I still can’t understand how he still has support from people in the transgender community.

The current regime borrows all its ideas, almost verbatim, from Vladimir Putin.

Well then I must have been a threat to a town this afternoon looking better than any other chick over the age of 25… and again I guess tomorrow. There is a big weekend LGBT event in New Hope, PA. a well known town on the river across from New Jersey. Will have to check it out next time I am out east… to be honest I don’t give a rats ass what goes on in DC, and most media reporting is just inaccurate bloviating with an agenda and most of my titles for them are 4 letter words so go out and have a fun weekend dressed however you wish…Mary Jo…

I’m sure people see me and wonder “why would a man possibly want to wear a skirt?” The very phrasing of the question suggests struggle, self-sacrifice, and putting oneself in a position that is passive and submissive. I think skirt wearing in particular and feminine expression in general are powerful. A beautiful dress is work of art. Once it is applied to any human body, that person becomes a living work of art as well with hair, makeup, lingerie and accessories creating the perfect harmony of color, texture and shape. For most of human history, we as a society stuck to an idea that women were incapable of participating in “masculine” activities denying them the rights and responsibilities that should be part of every human being’s life. Why should I be deemed incapable of expressing and enjoying “feminine feelings”simply because of my genetic makeup? Ignorant people have given power to those who feel threatened by the foreward motion of society and want to turn back the clocks to a time when we all complied with expectations because we lived in constant fear of our feelings being discovered. I cannot and will not live like that. When I go out en femme, it is statement of defiance against these unreasonable expectations.
