[ConservativeUS] Ukraine: Transgender Woman Weeps As Authorities Classify Them As ‘Men’ Who Must Stay Behind And Fight.

Transgender women in Ukraine say they are “completely trapped” and “frightened for their life” since their passports list them as “guys” rather than “women.”

Because all of their identification cards say “male” and reference their “previous masculine names,” two Ukrainian trans women claim they can’t leave the country or even safely travel through it.

Human rights organizations have encouraged some trans persons to “forget their ID” in order to leave Ukraine. According to trans activists, “hundreds” of trans individuals in Ukraine are in “severe danger” and feel “totally alone” as a result of this situation.

One trans woman expressed her fear of being caught while attempting to leave Ukraine and being compelled to join the Ukrainian army “as a male” – especially because authorities are preventing men between the ages of 18 and 60 from leaving.

Another trans lady in Ukraine is afraid to leave her home for fear of being attacked by transphobes. In her neighborhood, she’s the only one remaining.

One trans man has just a “female” ID despite having transitioned over six years ago and living as a man in Ukraine since then.

#5 Integrity means not participating in the lie. Compassion means not being cruel or ruthless, but not abandoning your own world view. As the gay community gained political power, their intolerance has become legion.

#4 I don't disagree Murcek, but I also think there is a very distinctly totalitarian fist demanding the populace at large loudly proclaim that which is so demonstrably and eternally false. Homey won't play that game.

#3 While I have an enormous tolerance for eccentricity the tranny community rejects tolerance. They want to be applauded and cheered, and whatever you do, don't be the first one to stop applauding.

It's all about the gummint and corporations coercing you to validate the select lifestyle choices of others. It's not anywhere near the ideal of "live and let live."

And never mind that the US gummint and corps still suck up to nations and cultures that still belive in hanging, burning, stoning, imprisoning and enslaving the people they will toss you out of you job over if you say the wrong thing or fail to say the right thing often enough.

#2 Thanks for the visual, Mike. While I have an enormous tolerance for eccentricity the tranny community rejects tolerance. They want to be applauded and cheered, and whatever you do, don't be the first one to stop applauding.

I am afraid I also subscribe to the concept, old and hidebound though it may be that an individual who cannot/will not reconcile themselves to physical reality is delusional. And though I feel they should be approached with compassion, the social order ought not be over turned for their delusions. That and in the name of all that's Holy nobody should be distributing weapons to people with obvious mental and emotional issues.

#1 ...I don't have a problem with how anyone wants to dress, or which of however many hundreds of genders they want to identify with, or whatever pronouns they prefer.

I truly don't. You do you, live and be well.

But it's telling that for starters the folks mentioned here in TFA seem to be putting their personal considerations ahead of their nation's survival...not to mention that if/when the Russians come, their cultural attitude is that people like him/her are perverts who will be told, both mentally and physically, that they are not worthy of respect or kindness.

I understand the fear here, I truly do. But just as a thought experiment, what would happen if the world saw trans men and women picking up rifles to defend their homes?
