"It's time I said this. Take a good hard look at my chest. Don't feel weird doing it. There is nothing sacred or sexual left to see.

What is there for you to see is a hollowed arm pit. Breast cancer spreads first to your underarm lymph nodes. Seeing as mine was under my left arm, they removed all of my lymph nodes & a lot of tissue. You may also note an incision that is disfigured as this kept opening up post surgery.

While I can see that the pink ribbon brings comfort to some... I want you to know that breast cancer is ugly. It's not an easy or a glam cancer to have. In fact cancers are one & the same to me. Cells run wild. Immune system compromised.

It robbed me of a precious part of myself that I once nourished my children with. It took away part of my sexual identity. Now that's if we're just talking about my breasts or my former breasts I'll say.

When I chose to not have reconstruction it was for many reasons but most importantly it was because my children had seen me down enough. I wanted them to see me strong again. I wanted them to have their Mother they knew.

Until recently I have been very comfortable with my decision. However... The great bathroom debate of 2016 has hurt more than just the transgender community.

It has hurt us survivors. Recently I notice more eyes trying to figure me out. At the grocery store, restaurants ... Walmart was the worst. I want to scream, YES! You are seeing it right! This is Breast Cancer... Please check yourself!' But instead I let my eyes meet theirs in an almost plea for a change in what has become our society.

I am personally of the belief that no transgender person wants to cause trouble in a bathroom. People just want to use the restroom. There have been terrible acts happening in public restrooms long before this. This is why my children never use a public restroom without me. You don't have to agree with me & I don't have to agree with you. It's ok.

Persons undergoing cancer treatment or post cancer treatment may lack hair & wear a baseball hat. They may have undergone a mastectomy like myself. Please consider these things. Rant over."

You are insane and what you do is so hurtful and painful to people on so many levels and your denial of it is sick.

You call me a pervert you call her a circus freak you threaten to send us all to Mexico. You rage that the communist liberal circus freaks will get all the Aryan white people killed. Those people are actors payed to create hate and division and polarize people and one person doesn't represent all trans people.

When none of this is true. All that you base "circus freek" "pervert" "liberal nazi" is patently false.

It's your hate that is divisive and hurtful to those around you and which is causing Americans to berg out over nothing and physically harm other human beings.

The fact that you can't stand me stating this simple fact, that's all I'm doing, excersing my free speech to point out how evil you are. Is beyond proof.

Keep spreading the hate Daywolf, it will get around to you eventually.

I guess the girl linked to is a circus freak and deserves your hate too? We should make people fear for their lives because you are slightly uncomfortable with their gender daywolf? Singling out and torturing a specific group of people out of blind fear, is bigotry and the corner stone of hatred.

I'm really sad this poor girl had to go through cancer to understand what it is people like you spread in our society [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
