Eden Hill Journal: Trans Lives Matter

I attended an outdoor event at the capitol in Augusta the other day and a guy came along with a hand-drawn protest sign reading "Trans Lives Matter", and it's been on my mind ever since.

You can even wear your own copy from Amazon: Trans Lives Matter

Then this weekend along came the video of Nebraska Senator Machaela Cavanaugh's rant. Have you seen it? I almost think this news tidbit is being scrubbed from Internet search results, but it trended over the weekend. You have to see this! Brace yourself:

WATCH: Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh chants on floor of Legislature for more than two minutes

If it is being scrubbed it could be because even RT featured a headline about it in their World News online feed yesterday. This performance was an actual for real American disgrace.

Years ago, this kind of rant is what I would have called a conniption fit. Children used to do it to their parents when they couldn't get their way. Parents used to discipline children for acting this way. Children who weren't disciplined about this were almost guaranteed to grow up to become narcissists. These days parents aren't allowed to discipline children so people like this senator are the norm, not the exception.

But anyway, back to my original topic...

Trans Lives Matter...

What does that slogan mean? The term Black Lives Matter from which this term was appropriated alludes to the victimhood of Blacks (African Americans) who feel intimidated (rightly so) by racist police officers with guns or other lethal means. Black people have died at the hands of white police and people just think, oh they're Black. They deserve it. Blacks are dangerous. So we ignore the deaths and the white racism behind them. The concern of Blacks is understandable for a reasoning mind. The deaths are real.

So, where the term Black Lives Matter refers to death, how does that relate to the Trans Lives Matter appropriation? That must refer to death also, right? But how? Who kills "trans" people?

Right?

Who kills trans people?

The answer is trans people kill trans people. Cops don't. Most straight people don't. And trans people generally don't kill other trans people. Trans people kill themselves. It's suicide that's the danger.

So when you see the slogan "Trans Lives Matter", just realize it's suicide that the slogan refers to.

People who want to become trans but aren't allowed to sometimes commit suicide. So, from a narcissistic perspective the blame, the guilt, belongs to the person or people who oppose the brutality of resolving gender dysphoria by going "transgender".

And don't go expecting me to ignore the fact that gender transitioning is brutality. It is. It's self-inflicted brutality. So is suicide.

So somehow in our modern narcissistic society it's normal for someone to threaten suicide if they aren't allowed to go trans and the suicide isn't their fault. It's someone else's fault. So, hey, let them go trans, right? Save their lives or else, right? "Trans people belong here. We need trans people. We love trans people" right? Don't let them die, right?

If only it were that simple...

For some reason the threat of suicide isn't resolved when gender dysphoric people are satisfied by transitioning their gender. Somehow victimhood continues and it's not their fault. It's everyone else's fault unless that someone else thoroughly embraces the trans movement. People who embrace the brutality of transitioning aren't to blame for trans suicides. Everyone else is.
