When did the meaning of 'transgender' become 'pedophile'?

Submitted by Robyn on Fri, 04/29/2016 - 3:06pm

That's what Autumn Murphy Hargrave asks in her essay at Redheaded Blackbelt.

This whole bathroom transgender issue in the news has me confused. I am not sure when transgender turned into pedophile. Today I listened to some guy from Georgia telling me to speak my mind on this issue. This is my piece of mind on the subject of transgender bathroom use and this is all I have to contribute on the subject.

I know transgender folks. I know gay and lesbian folks. I know pedophile folks too. The transgender, gay and lesbian folks I know are all a little freaky, a lot awesome, mostly normal, no less so than me or you. Some have families of their own. They all live lives built around home, hearth, community and tribe. A few of them are just starting out in this life. Young women taking those first steps they are into a never kind world. I love them or like them. Depending on which one. I have never once thought of any moment in their lives to be so different from mine, I could not trust them with my safety. Or my sons’ safety.

No true progressive can vote for Hillary Clinton and her Democratic bafoons against anyone, especially since they rigged the whole system against Bernie Sanders (for perspective, the Republicans did the same thing against Ron Paul).

But instead of staying home or voting Green, we have a true progressiv----Vermin Supreme for 2016.
He has a true plan for reigning in Wall Street and has the best chance to win in November.

Neoliberalism: A Greater Threat to Humanity Than Communism Ever Was

Submitted by mouselander on Fri, 04/29/2016 - 12:03pm

Soviet-style communism failed because in practice it didn't come close to delivering what it promised in theory. The only way it could perpetuate itself was through brutal suppression of any political opposition. But with the advent of modern communications technology, the reality that western-style economic systems delivered a far superior lifestyle to the great majority of citizens became impossible to conceal from the masses.

I have been thinking about this for a long while, even BB-before Bernie. It is the culmination of so many election cycles where we were forced to vote for the lesser of two evils, again and again. I had been uncomfortable with the process for some years, spurred by the death of JFK. I felt at the time that we had experienced a coup, I waited, but things didn't seem to change too much.
