Challenge of being trans in the freedom movement

- by KATIE GAMUCHA

Feminine and masculine energy

AROUND the time I joined the freedom movement to oppose covid tyranny, the media agenda was gripped by a sudden obsession with transpeople.

Has there ever been a more blatant or successful divide and rule ploy? I was sad to see freedom comrades obsessing over how others choose to look, dress, relate to others and enjoy their bodily autonomy and medical freedom. These are surely personal matters and no-one else's business.

What IS gender? And what is biological sex?

Sex is simple. For most, it's chromosomes determining if you get a willy or not.

Gender is a little more complex. It's a function of an individual's yin-yang (feminine or masculine) personal energy balance and also a 'social construct'- how an individual is expected (or compelled) to behave in society (e.g., 'boys don't cry or wear pink'). Our individual energy balances may sit on a spectrum between masculine or feminine or change fluidly over time.

History and everyday experience show us that it's fairly common for someone's gender to be at odds with their biological sex. Some describe this as 'being born into the wrong body', yet I'm uncomfortable suggesting that incarnation may err.

Say rather that this undeniable facet of human nature doesn't fit well into mass-managed hierarchical societies, especially those with warlike traditions. Hierarchy emerged via competitive male struggle so until recently males were viewed (by other males, of course) as of higher status.

Thus tomboys may have won acceptance yet a feminine male was regarded as somehow shameful or improper.
