Comments on: Me, the ACA and Transgender Coverage http://outservemag.org/2012/07/me-the-aca-and-transgender-coverage/ a publication of OutServe-SLDN Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:25:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: amym440 http://outservemag.org/2012/07/me-the-aca-and-transgender-coverage/#comment-10902 amym440 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:21:49 +0000 http://outservemag.org/?p=2654#comment-10902 I'd also like to point out a fault I see with Katie's Logic. She points out that Transsexual has a negative connotation to it but denies Transgender does. That is her logic for justifying that we must all identify as Transgender even though Transgender and LGBT attachment are way more stygmatizing to me then Transsexual ever was. Transgender is also an umbrella term that has been destroyed by those who have made it their personal identity. I'm not going to get into it here and now but Transsexual is really the more accurate and totally encompassing umbrella term to include the LGB. When I say Transsexual just to be inclusive I include all LGB's and tell it to college classes explaining why and they totally get it. By her reasoning since Transsexual is more negatively received the LGBT should favor the use of same sex marraige over gay marriage since gay marriage is more widely viewed as negative by the general public. LGB should be dropped because the Williams Institute claims that most same sex attracted people don't identify as LGB. Bet you they all like same sex attracted much better so you should stop using LGB since it is so negative and she also admits so heavily stygmatized,. Its so heavily stygmatized and politically is associated with so many negative things and actions I can guarantee you i will never support it and I will always tell people who label me Transgender that just becuase the LGBT tells you something doesn't mean its true mostly in my experience its usually one big propaganda filled lie.

The correct term is transgender. As stated in the article, the military discriminates against transexuals as well as those simply identifying outside the sex-gender binary because both can be diagnosed as GID. The entire transgender community is affected by the policy, not just transexuals. Additionally, not all of the servicemembers I interviewed preferred the term transexual, especially the younger generation. OutServe Magazine is distributed to military bases across the US and one of the main reasons for doing this is to reduce the stigma surrounding the LGBT community. “Transexual” is often thrown around as a derogatory term, whereas “transgender” is a newer term without a negative history behind it. Thanks for reading OutServe Mag and I hope you enjoyed the article! Lisa McDonald. July 18, 2012 at 11:01 PM Actually Katie Miller Transgender and the LGBT is discriminating against Transsexual veterans like myself that do not wish to be associated with either LGBT or Transgender organizations such as yours or NCTE. Infact you are a private organization you do not get to force your label one that promotes a false truth to the public on me that gives them the impression that I am a member of your private political organization. Message to your board either cease with the all Transsexuals are transgender thus under our control BS or I’ll sue you for discriminating against me as a woman. After all the whole point of transition for a transexxual should be to become legally recognized as that sex not as transgender. Transgender violates that by referring us back to a listed birth sex we contest and by falsely associating those of us who do not wish to be with the LGBT. Also medical professionals that have adopted that language are going to find themselves in trouble for civil rights violations. Reply amym440 July 19, 2012 at 4:26 AM I will also be writing a response to your false claim that Transgender is not a negative term and show how Transgender identified people have helped to add stygma to being Transsexual on my personal blog. The writing is on the wall for Transgender and the LGBT. Your domination is about to be challenged in ways you never thought possible and in ways that destroy the lame claims of internalized transphobia and homophobia. The LGBT is going to get some well deserved and earned stygma dumped back on it for being bullys. When my blog is ready I’ll send you a link to it and I hope it really shakes you up and lets you know the days of the LGBT being the only voice for same sex attracted and sex and gender diverse people are going to come to an end and so is your widespread political support. You pissed off the wrong person born Transsexual. This is the first post I responded to :

I also not you didn't skipped his support of pedophilia a lot more harder to defend. I also believe that polygraph testing would show that Transgender has caused many of us unecesary harm through added stygma.

It would revolutionize our treatment and also help to prevent the wrong people from having surgery and ensuring the right people gain access to surgery. There are many in the community for whom gender bending appears to be a choice or is the result of other underlying mental health issues. Insurance companies should not have to pay for someone who is marely choosing to change their sex but maintain their original sex identity. Nor should someone who has a valid cross sexed identity have to risk negative research results because they were improperly included with a non gender dysphoric person in a study.I want the highest quality medical care backed up by the highest quality medical research. Transgender doesn't even register on any list of measurable scientific accuracy I can think of its purely junk science and discrimination.

They are no basis for determining the truth of someone's statement at all. And as an added bonus, 3) You are a very silly person. In addition to what Tara said, I’d also like to point out that

Aren't you ashamed to be associating children with him and the movement he started? Also at the beginning of the Transgender Phenomenon written by Richard Ekins it names Carrol Riddell a radical Marxist as the founder of the Transgender movement. There are also many other known socialist and communist that are part of the LGBT history. Again as a Veteran Of the Occupation of Berlin I am rightfully highly offended to be attached to an organization with that shameful history and one that was began by a pedophile supporter. Just what exactly is President Obama thinking by writing this junk into federal policy? Doesn't he have anyone on his staff look into stuff first? This is a major mess. As Veterans unless your ashamed to be American and proud to support a movement started by a pedophile supporting commie you should also want to distance yourself from that history and from acting like pedophile supporting commies happy to violate all of our individual rights. You should also want all of us to receive the proper medical care for who and what we are and acknowledge that a one size fits all label and a one size fits all commie born LGBT, association just doesn't cut the mustard and shouldn't be used on Vets or associated with the U.S Miltary.. One last thing here is the link I posted in my first comment http://bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/other_stories/documents/02511115.htm

Nikki Married while still legally male. Nikki also stated a lot of false things to all of us that her court records prove were false. Meghan Stabler of HRC legally declared himself male and yes I'm using male pronouns on the dude. Between the two of those Transgender supporters they've done a whole lot of damage. I'm not from Texas sweetheart and they have the absolute most rotten crew of Transgender identified dysfunctional idiots in the public spotlight. They could have saved us all a lot of pain by just hurrying up and shooting us all in the foot.
