A transsexual pioneer and human rights activist criticized modern trans activists and said children are facing "indoctrination."Buck Angel, a 59-year-old with gender dysphoria who identified himself as "a transsexual man," told Fox News that when he began transitioning 30 years ago, there was a system and structure that ensured he was certain about his gender identity. He said that process, to children's detriment, has since deteriorated.
"Now we have trans with no gender dysphoria, no need for mental health care, self ID, affirmation therapy," Angel, who said he's "a huge advocate for mental health care," told Fox News. "That says to me on some level, some form of indoctrination."

"I'm an elder in a community I helped build," Angel, who said he's faced significant blow back for speaking out, told Fox News. "Now I'm being told that I'm old and antiquated."
[…]
"I see a vast, huge desire to fast track, for lack of a better term, these children into this space of trans kids" and put them on puberty blockers, Angel told Fox News. "I personally believe blocking puberty could be disastrous."
I had to google him.
I found him listed on IMDB,
...Being the "guinea pig" in the female-to-male transgender reassignment therapy he was able to achieve satisfactory results, which allowed him to live as a man. During this process he realized he won't be able to have a real functional penis, so he decided not to undergo a bottom surgery, the fact he later used in his adult film career, when he described himself as "the man with a pussy". He produced a number of adult films under the imprint Buck Angel Entertainment, including a porn spoof of Brokeback Mountain (2005) called Buckback Mountain (2007). He went on to becoming the first trans man to perform in a filmed sex scene with a trans woman (Allanah Starr) and winning the AVN Award for Transsexual Performer of the Year (as the only transsexual man to date)...
[…]
...He created an online dating website for transgender men, BuckAngelDating and created the world's first sex toy meant to reduce gender dysphoria. He was married to dominatrix Karin Winslow aka Ilsa Strix (now the wife of Lana Wachowski) from 1998 to 2001 and to body piercer Elayne Angel from 2003 to 2014…
To me he seems to have internalized transphobia, it is called Lateral Hostility and in 2013 I wrote about it Lateral Oppression or Peer to Peer Oppression (See below).
So now Fox News has latched onto him and holding him up as their poster child.
Diana, is it true that you lost your wig once while swimming... right in front of everyone? OMG, that must have been so embarrassing! It's no small wonder you don't think we can ever be real women... it's obvious that you'll never be one!There is a name for this type of behavior, it is called “Lateral Oppression” or “Lateral Violence” and it is common in all marginalized communities.* The definition is,
Later Oppression or Violence: oppression or violence that is directed towards other members of the social group or community, usually toward a subculture of the social group or community.U.S. Legal Definitions defines it as,
Lateral violence happens when people who are both victims of a situation of dominance, in fact turn on each other rather than confront the system that oppresses them both. Lateral violence occurs when oppressed groups/individuals internalize feelings such as anger and rage, and manifest their feelings through behaviors such as gossip, jealousy, putdowns and blaming.We find lateral violence or oppression wherever we look…
We find it with teenage girlsSo what causes it?
We find it with immigrants
We find it in socioeconomic classes
We find it in racial groups
We find it in the gay and lesbian communities
And we find it in within the transgender community
It is caused by internalize of guilt and prejudice. It is used as a defense mechanism against otherwise unbearable discomfort that they have as a member of the oppressed group. It is a method which a member of the marginalized group uses to separate themselves from that group. For an example, during the early 70s many gays and lesbians of the “Gay Activist Alliance” did not want any feminine gays or masculine lesbian in their organization. Because of their internalized guilt and prejudice they want to separate themselves from the flamboyant gays or lesbians. The straight looking and acting gays and lesbians want to be disassociate from them; they only wanted gays and lesbians who can be assimilated into the straight society so they could blend in with everyone else.
The same thing for trans-people, those that can pass or have had surgery want to disassociate from trans-people who cannot pass. They want to establish a pecking order with passible post-op trans-people on top. They want to be assimilated into the straight society and not be associated with what they call “men in dresses” meaning anyone who cannot pass.

Buck Angle and all others are just adding fuel to the fire that will burn us all. Buck can cozy with the right along with the gays against groomers but when the crap flies they will be in the same boat as all of us. Isn't it a shame that what we have worked so hard for all the years is unraveling at the seams. It certainly is a redefining point of the idea of Transgender. Meanwhile the right-wing Proud Boys threaten Drag Queen Story Hour, and the fascist republicans threaten the health and care of Transgender people.
ReplyDeleteI think quite a few people would not want Buck Angle as a spokesperson for the community and quite a few on the other side could point at his lifestyle and say shame. We all had better be careful in these dangerous times and enemies are everywhere. But this is not an excuse to not fight back, not stand out on the track and say no. I am Richard Nelson and I approve of this message.
