How many trans people are lawful gun owners?

They don’t ask about your credit rating but that’s one of the things which will pop up during a background check anyway.

Investigate me then for “paedophilia.” It’s going to be a long, fruitless search but don’t let that stop you. That’s the point, cupcake. The FBI generates most of this data and it’s all a matter of public record. Please investigate my public record!

Grooming? It seems to be another word for “pedophile.” (Actually it’s spelled “paedophile.” Ask the Brits. They’ll tell you that a “pedophile” gets off by playing with feet.)

What are some lesser-known facts about Bollywood and the Indian film industry? Are there any insider secrets that only those in the industry would know? How reliable are these claims?

In case you missed my point; they’re the criminals; the white-skinned, unemployed, drug-and-alcohol addicted, borderline psychotic kind which no one likes to discuss when someone accuses us of being “career criminals.” It even confuses and frustrates cops. They’re trained to see us as junkie whores overflowing with STD’s. When they find out that nearly all of us are ordinary folks—like me; a retired college professor of English and writing—it really makes them mad. Then they start digging. When they still can’t find anything, they make up something cute and the charges are usually dropped by the end of the next day.

You really should dial back on the stupid spy movies, honey. Our intelligence agencies don’t give a rusty F*** at a rolling donut about gender. Nor do they “have a file” on everyone in this country; a file which tells them everything.

A cop has resources far beyond anything you can muster, buster. The FBI and the ATF make the cops look like fumbling ten year old kids. They can tell you what I had for dinner last week. If I was “unlawful,” don’t you think I’d be on a list somewhere? Just because I’m transgender?

Why do some men want to remain single despite the fact that many women want to have a romantic relationship with them?

Not bloody likely. Oh, I forgot; I did buy a pair of used shoes from the Goodwill I worked at for a homeless trans girl about half my age; early twenties, I gathered. Also a Mickey D’s cheeseburger because she hadn’t eaten in five days. Is that “grooming”? Should I be arrested because my intent was so obvious?

Mostly they want to know if you’ve been locked up for criminal or mental health reasons. Since very few trans women commit crimes of any kind—such as myself for example. I haven’t had so much as a traffic ticket in 30 years—and my last brush with the law was through my stupid wife’s meth-snortin’, drug-peddling, incestuous goddamned family at about that time. (She really shouldn’t have depended on her sister’s slimy boyfriend to do the hit. Stupid little motherfucker spent the entire upfront payment on meth and got busted for it the Friday night before he was supposed to shoot me.) But she wanted the house and she wanted me gone and such are the costs of Extreme Stupidity and drug-fueled desperation. (I heard from her uncle that she married a cowboy on the rodeo circuit who turned out to have AIDS and a boyfriend.)

Well, my intent was to feed and put a pair of shoes on a young woman with no place to stay. No, she did not stay with me. She went back to her boyfriend and pleaded to be let back into her Section 8 apartment. He beat her to death and fled the state.

Does anyone wear see-through clothes to show off underwear?

I wonder if you can say the same.

THEY have LOTS of guns! Oodles! (Or they did, before the cops confiscated them.) Handguns, shotguns, AR-15’s, even an AK. Also an ancient Ingraham machine pistol with which he was supposed to shoot me—except that he kind of misplaced it and had a sawed-off shotgun in his possession—along with about a half ounce of meth—when they busted him.

The real secret is that trans people commit far LESS crimes than cisgender folk—and when they are busted, it’s usually a false accusation. Like “Grooming.” What is grooming, O Dear Million Moms for America? (It’s not that many; maybe a dozen.) Can’t say I’ve ever done that. It’s expensive as hell to feed just ONE person under this roof but two?

Relocating to Sweden to save money. I got a job offer of 47000SEK before tax, visas sponsored for my wife & my mother (with a laryngectomy). My wife, a general medicine graduate, wants to specialize in Sweden. Can we live well and save 4000€ monthly?

You can access some of those files if you’d like. Just drop a pair of Jacksons on one of those sleazy, “Find out anything about anyone!” websites. They’re all over the net. People like to nose about in other’s affairs and I hear business is good for them. Hurrah. “Privacy, they say, has gone out of style.”

Hey, that’s okay, though! “If you have nothing to hide, then why are you worried?” I’m not. Doxx me all you want. Investigate me. “Uncover the real secret!”

Because I have no guns and I have no felonies, not even a minor misdemeanor on my record.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

No way to tell. They don’t ask stupid questions like this on a registration application. Nor do they inquire about your religion or political party—unless you live in Texas or Florida.
