So, this may very well be my last post on this subject on TS separatism for some time. Unless the separatists want to engage in an intellectually honest fashion by making evidence-based assertions, their rhetoric is meaningless to me. They are the immature burblings of a hubris mind. Who is so self-important that they believe that they can make extraordinary assertions about the nature of reality and expect all to accept it upon faith alone? What sort of movement is this adverse making reasoned arguments? Why the trolling, the hit list, historical revisionism and the ad hom attacks? Attacking me because I'm not willing to take your word on faith alone is a bit dogmatic (IMHO) and smacks more of a belief system than of any objective reality. Just because I won't blindly believe whatever you tell me to believe doesn't mean that I hate you; it only means that I'm skeptical (I mean, skepticism is the meaning of the title of this blog: "ehipassiko"). I tend to think that if the separatists were truly interested in furthering their cause, they should probably spend more time making reasoned arguments and less time trolling.
Also, if it's taken more than a year to collect just half of the 500 signatures you're looking for to "let my people go" from the Transgender Borg (Swedish Chef: borg-borg-borg) then, maybe you need to better communicate your position. If you care about getting people to care about your position, put the multi-sourced, mutually supportive objective evidence out there to make a reasoned argument. I'm not asking you to do anything more than what I've already done myself. If you're unwilling to put forth the same effort that I've put forth in just satisfying my own curiosity, then I'm thinking that you're not really invested in moving any actual movement forward; I'm thinking that you're just interested in internet drama.
