“A heritage of slavery would be a step forward for us! Think about that the next time you call a trans woman a man!”
2015 TED talk by Nina Arsenault, Canada's most influential trans figure, who shapes university policies and advised hospitals which medically "trans" children. pic.twitter.com/3qqwjrUeWY
Arielle had a video excerpting multiple precious flowers expressing their anger at their mothers who dared to qualify for mastectomies while the “boys” were denied or had to wait. Similar insanity.
“Erased from history” is a way of saying the social phenomenon didn’t exist until recently, while also revealing that the speaker is in denial about it not existing until recently.
What a pathetic, wholly narcissistic rant. Thoroughly bad, self-indulgent and intendedly manipulative performing, like a speech by Hitler – one cannot begin to call it ‘acting’. I am reminded the Longobards in Zbigniew Herbert’s poem of the same name ‘Shouting their protracted nothing nothing nothing.’
The few brief seconds I watched, led me to ask if this was truly a TED talk, TEDx talk, or a TED zed talk (how many levels does it go down before it reaches the sewer?) It was stage as a one-man play, His sound and fury evokes a community theater player who saw MacBeth too many times and has his own take on Sound and Fury.
But, my god this guy. He writes about how he never considered his cosmetic surgeries to be erotic until he went under local anesthesia and watched the surgeon from a mirror. And he has photo exhibits of himself nude on an operating table.
I’m not ready to accept this as a new world order of gender presentation. Am I a fuddy duddy old man?

Oops. Forgot to include that said mother’s had late stage breast cancer.

Very Hitleresque – that shouty performative raging.
