Buck, I hear you, and really appreciate your scream.
It's because of wonderful and caring people such as yourself, that I'm routinely reminded why it's so important not put anyone into their narrowly defined "baskets", as the mainstream and divisive forces in our society would have us do.
What strikes me about this post, and what brought me to tears even, is how painful it seems that you're pleading to some of the very same people you'd already been coexisting with. Those who were previously accepting and maybe even appreciative of you, but who might have changed perspectives or soured towards anything associated with "trans", due to the aforementioned hostility and "taking" of things.
It breaks my heart that you have to watch and experience decades of progress and a largely peaceful/non-hateful population, be effectively turned against you through unfair association and over-politicized missteps from the most extreme voices on these matters. I follow you online and can see the vitriol coming from both sides. I really feel that most of the people repeating the extremist slogans and advocating for fast-track changes that huge swaths of the population still have reservations about (MtF in sports, prisons, sororities, and kids blocking puberty), aren't even doing it in the interest of trans-rights but for political gain.
Voices like yours, someone who has decades of valuable experience in life, are crucial to pushing back on the idea that everyone who simply wants to exist in society as a transsexual must believe everything you read on Twitter.
Thank you Buck for all you do. I’m so glad I found you and get to hear your story and voice on current issues. It’s nice to hear a rational perspective from a transsexual person on things that I have concern about such as women’s locker rooms and what’s being presented to kids these days. We’re in a crazy time right now and I can only hope we work through this all as human beings to a balanced future. As a physician hearing your story and voice is very important to me as I work with navigating this trans minefield in the medical field that has appeared out of nowhere. None of this was taught in school and now the majority of information out there is littered with inaccuracies that no one is aware of. Thank you!!
Thank you for being a voice of impassioned reason. Those behind Identity Politics (on both "sides" of the aisle) will continue the cycles of division and consolidation on their terms, regardless of who suffers, until the people say "Enough".
Americans are a difficult group to divide and conquer. We must keep it that way.
Both your existence in this world and the bravery you exhibit makes a big difference, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The new trans ideology acticism is wreaking havoc in the world, especially for those who are honest and forthright, something that I am having trouble forgiving them for. They are (in their narcissistic process of deconstruction) setting the conditions backwards for not just those with true dysphoria, but gays in general. We came so close to being in a world of acceptance, tolerance and coexistence! I hope they are stopped in their tracks... regardless, they will have a lot to be held accountable for.

Stay strong. Much love to you, brother.

You are a wonderful and special person, Buck. You bring so much sanity to this all. Your willingness to put it all out there in this messed up world.
