Okay. Transgender fan. Hey, all right. Look at me crossing over here. Hey,
Billy, I've been
listening to the podcast since I was 16. I'm 22 now and I've enjoyed every
episode, especially
during quarantine. I'm a violinist, sculptor, and a trans man. Look at you.
Definition in the next
paragraph. Thank you. And have been wanting to write in for a while. After
hearing you read the
letter a fan sent in about his trans friends attending his wedding, I thought
now would be
the time. Oh, beautiful. All right. Let me do the recap. So this guy was
getting married
and not one, but two of his friends that he was going to have be groomsmen
either had transitioned
or were in the process of transitioning. And he was like, am I an asshole if I
don't want him to wear
a dress? Okay. That was the question. So me knowing nothing about the subject,
that didn't
stop me from answering it. That's in the, I believe the previous or two
episodes ago. Um, all right.
So now we're going to actually hear from somebody, uh, living the life here.
First off, I do want to
clarify that by trans man, I mean, I transitioned from female to male. Oh, fuck.
Okay. I didn't get
that. I thought trans man, but you went the other way. Okay. And in instrument
rating, that would be
reverse sensing, uh, on a VOR, uh, for all you pilots out there in short, I'm a
he and your response
to the fan that wrote in, you said that transitioning seems like a massive
emotional process. And you're
exactly right. Hey, look at me, look at me. Not bad for a fifth white male. Uh,
when I described the
experience, which I do openly to create a dialogue for people who are generally
curious, I often say
that transitioning is not an option, but more so the only option from, for most
people like
me. Let me ask you this before you totally committed. Was there any doubt? Like,
okay. I hope, because
I mean, I hope I'm doing the right. I hope I'm getting this right. Cause I can't
tell you how many
times I've misread my feelings. I mean, but the stakes were not that high. That's
like fucking
you're going all in with the chips, so to speak. Uh, anyway, he goes, imagine
you wake up one day
with boobs and are, and are expected to wear heels after the novelty of having,
of having 24 seven access
to tits, to tits wears off. It fucking sucks. Let me read this again. Imagine
you wake up one day with
boobs and are expected to wear heels. All right. Now, wait a minute. I thought
you transitioned
from a woman to a man. I mean, I transitioned from female to male. Okay. It
says, imagine you wait,
oh, maybe she's, uh, he's putting me in this. I don't know. Imagine you wake up
one day with boobs
and are have, and are expected to wear heels after the novelty of having 24
seven access to tits
wears off. It fucking sucks. Nobody chooses to go through all of that trouble
of being a lot
alienated from friends and family members on a whim. Well, there you go. You
just answered my question
for me. If I wanted to have a future post high school, I had to make this step
and I have avoided a lot
of further mental dissonance, dissonance, thanks to the scientists and surgeons
who advocated for
trans medicine. And yes, I will always trust the opinions of a scientist over a
politician.
Fair enough. As the wedding scenario goes, I can guarantee his trans grooms
were just as conflicted
as him. I also came out right before a relative's wedding and was given an ultimatum
of you either lie
about your identity. If you want to remain a part of this family or you won't
be welcomed back into our
lives. It's just fucking, can you imagine your family saying that to you? I
ended up playing violin at their
ceremony for free and never getting invited to another family reunion. Wow.
That is really fucking sad. I'm
sorry that happened to you. Hopefully, Jesus, in the near future, that doesn't
happen. How do you disown a
fucking, your own kid? I don't get that. I don't get that. I mean, I draw the
line of, you know, hearing my
kid leave and then getting charged with him at night and covering for a murder.
I mean, there are lines.
Um, yeah, you do some dateline shit, you know, I mean, you're kind of out on
your own, but I'd still
visit you when you went to jail and I would be like, where did I fuck up that
made you do something
like that? Um, anyway, personally, if I were asked to be a bridesmaid before
coming out as a guy, I
would, I would have stepped down because I don't want to be the one guy in a
traditional,
traditionally female role. I'm betting this guy's trans grooms. People felt
similar. I have to
fucking do the math on that. I would have stepped down because I don't want to
be the one guy in a
traditionally female role. I don't know what that means. I'm betting this guy's
trans grooms. People
felt the simp similarity. I hope you guys understood what that meant. I didn't
get that one sentence.
Okay. And here's where the rant opens up. All right, here we go. Taking the
gloves off there.
All right. A lot of trans people are, are, are really pissed by the false and
performative
ally ship. The far left has dumped on us with little work to back their claims
up. Yeah, it's a
fucking show. That's what I think so much of that liberal social justice
fucking horse shit is.
It's just for you to put on a little performance on your social media page and
people can be like,
oh, wow, you're an ally. Here's your little rainbow fucking emoji. And then you
can just go
back to living your life and you're not getting your hands dirty. Um, it's like
those white people
that marched with black lives mattered as they were live Instagramming
themselves. Like, look at me.
I have a bandana on, I'm a fucking revolutionary. And then after that, they
just went back to their
life. Got CrossFit in the morning. Um, we are identifying more as independence
because we've
experienced hate from the right and tokenism from the left. Oh yeah. You get
used. I mean,
which is worse at least. I mean, I know the hate, if it escalates to violence
is bad,
but at least if somebody's just straight up, it says how they feel about you as
opposed to just
using you. Um, anyway, I think a lot of your jokes about trans people are
actually more about
performative cis people. I don't know what cis means who are using trans issues
for votes
because they know we are a very vulnerable group. Yeah. Well, they kind of do
that with everybody.
I guess that's the only positive way. Politicians always do that. They're
always fucking looking for
some fucking angle for themselves anyway, but not all, they're not all bad.
There's got to be some
good ones in there. Trans people just want to live a normal life, start a
family and not be claimed as a
political pawn. I was at my lowest depression before I started hormones and got
my chest
masculinization procedure. What chest did you go with? Are they good enough
that you can pick one out?
Because personally speaking, uh, you know, I would, I would go fucking Matthew
McConaughey.
Um, but here's the thing. You know, what's funny is if they actually get it
down someday where you
could do that? All of these fucking people who are like anti-trans and all of
that shit, if they find
out that you can actually get a Matthew McConaughey chest and they're looking
at their fucking man tits,
they might do it. You know, I got the McConaughey, you know, you know, right
before they fucking put the
fucking gas on your face, you have headphones. And the last thing you hear is
Matthew McConaughey going,
alright, alright, alright, alright. And you wake up with a chiseled tan chest.
Um, that'd be fucking
hilarious if I did that as a redhead and my chest didn't match my, the whiteness
of my head. Then I
have to go reverse Michael Jackson, you know, do a reverse bleaching. Um,
anyway, let's not make this
about you, Bill. Anyway, he says, uh, he says, uh, I haven't left the house in
weeks. I hadn't left the house
in weeks and nearly dropped out of school since transitioning. I'm happy back
on stage, volunteering,
writing music. That's great. Teaching violin students, running my small
business. There you go. Don't work for
somebody else. And I have, have met someone special. Oh, look at you. I know I'm
from an outside
perspective being trans. I know from an outside perspective being trans seems
crazy. If you knew
the thunder and lightning between my fucking ears, I don't think anybody's
crazy. I think it's fucking
crazy to, uh, go through life and not think that you're kind of fucking nuts
yourself, you know,
walking around thinking you have it all figured out. I think that that's
fucking crazy. I'm not
going to lie to you. Like, you know, like shit freaks me out without a doubt. I'm
not saying this
shit, but I will tell you when, when Bruce became Caitlin, there was definitely,
you know, a what the
fuck moment. Now I'm used to it. But what was weird about that was if you were
like me, you weren't
for some reason allowed to have that what the fuck moment. Um, which is one of
those things that the
left is like psychotic with. It's like, you, you, you got, you got to let
everybody kind of go through
their emotions as long as they're not hurting anybody. They're, you're
processing it. That's all
right. So anyway, this person says, I felt the same way until I realized I
would always be,
be an angry, sad person. If I had stayed in the closet, I started listening to
your podcast the
same month. I came out back in 2017 and have not been offended by the jokes
about trans people,
contrary to what the far left or right wants you to think. Trans folk have a
pretty thick skin
and we're no strangers to having, having to advocate for our rights. I've been
doing a lot of work on
undoing the anger I built up over my teenage years and listening to your show
has given me laughs
when I needed them the most. Thanks and go fuck yourself. Wasn't that great?
Look at me, huh?
I'm going to make that whole fucking thing about me. You know, the appeal of me,
it's just really
amazing. And you guys, I just want to say as a podcast, justice warrior. Um,
all right. So if
anybody is listening to this and your kid is gay and they came out and you disowned
them, can you,
can you not do that to them? That's such a fucking horrible, horrible thing to
do to somebody. Um,
it really is. It really is. It's like, you know, just try to be, uh, you know,
just fucking work your way through it. You know what I mean? It's, I don't, I
don't, I don't get it.
I don't fucking get it. That happens to me with one of my kids. I mean, it's
you just be who the
fuck you are and don't be a fucking asshole to other people. That's all I ask.
Can you just do that?
Great.
