I'm here to see the mechanical and artistic talent of dixon. Perhaps he is transphobic, im uware of it but i guess he's a choice about which of the two aspects of him he'd most like to express within the platforms and oppertunities given him.
(minus targeting, harassing, or insighting violence towards people) I feel, ..... everyone has a fair right to their feelings opinions and what they wish to speak about... I mean, isn't that the basis of what being transgender is? freedom of self expression?
i... myself am transgender.
look....
its pretty simple.... (in my humble opion..) i think most human people want to FEEL attractive. i think for some people, it comes naturally. And others need/want to work on themselves, in various, personal ways.. they make an effort to improve themselves to feel comfortable.
So.. Gender... isn't about one's body. its about ones SELF EXPRESSION. transgender = is about pure self expression... expressing the feelings or ideas from within, by our habits our likes, our behaviors, and styles of clothes. transsexual = physical (not chromosomes, but) a more physiological form of expression. mainly..i believe, sculpting the body as completely as possible.
two very different ideas.
.... let me put it more simply. Transgender people, yearn to feel BEAUTIFUL. So, they happend to find their way to achieve that. Not everyone has to agree with the results, but many... many... many people out there, actually do.
and even if you don't, even if you find them or other people in the world repulsive..... are you actually going to go around publicy calling people delusional because they don't meet your regulations? who exactly is delusional again?
what kind of jerk would i be, running around telling people what behaviors they should seek out,or act upon (besides the law vs crimes),
or what color they need to dye their hair or what shoes they can and can't like,
or if they can or cannot make what they feel is a personal improvement?
or, Tell them how they should act with their lovers in bed, who should feel "giving" and who should feel "receiving" and when im ok with it?
who here has recently told a tomboy what they're doing with their life is not right and that they're delusional?!? if you want to be friends with them, t hats usually not taken as a sign of friendship.
If i was REALLY INTO being rejected or risking a violent reaction or just instilling dissapointment hatred and fear in people.. I would be running around trying to trick guys... force a big suprise on em in bed every 1st and 2nd tuesday after the 3rd and 4ths plus all fridays. but no.... there are no tricks. there are no suprises. I am who i am. The people that want to be with me know EXACTLY what IS up. no see the people that want the hatred , the violence.. are of course, the ones that arent sleeping with me or even actually know me, in the slightest.
I dunno... maybe people feel transgender people just aren't ... up to par to be considered a human that other ADULT humans need to make the decisions for them. Do we have this discussion about peoples religions or skin color ? do we have this discussion with guys that wear cowboy boots letting them no they aren't actually a cowboy by my defintion and that they should feel ashamed? or that the white boy over there with the clock face hanging between his pecs can twerk well enough to get in the van.
smh... i don't need some safe space to get through these frustrations.... no. but those i hear complaining .... i think .. maybe?
anyhow...
Everyone is entitled to their own opion and expressions (except for transgender people??? LOL)
I'm not here to hate on people.
(as a matter of fact, i'm a little upset with the trans community a bit for reacting so negatively towards , this "perceived" epidimic of hatred (Yes, im aware of the current rise of transgender aimed violence and death rates) i feel many, causal, innocent or legitly confused and curious conversations/questions get attacked or blown off because of the frustration the community has... i think its important to hold ground, state your opinions, and expect respect... but what good is that in a world we despise.. in a world we've choosen not help improve? who can we blame then?
Dixon...
Great work.
I wish i had that kind of talent.
you do little shows for friends at bars ?
trans..... to move from one state of being to another.
for me....one must first find the means
TO BE FREE to trans to begin with.
i moved from
unhappy and constricted
to
FREEDOM and happiness
and along the way, i learned what BEAUTY..... and POWER actually mean.
(i still fail to see whats wrong OR DELUSIONAL with being me? I'm hidding nothing and swore, i'd never change to be something im not.)
