There was so much ugliness and hate on her page that even I, a transition-skeptical self-hating trans man (at the time), saw with perfect clarity that she and anyone like her were the bad guys, and I needed to steer the fuck clear.

I credit her with helping me realize I was trans. Because if her page hadn't been so angry and full of hate maybe I'd have gone down the TERF road myself. It still took years to come out to myself, but at least I knew who the bad guys and who the good guys were.

Anyway, I looked her up and it sounds like she stood up to the GCs who are cozying up to right wingers, and is maybe persona non grata in the modern right-wing-allied anti-trans movement now? Funny thing, life.

Cathy Brennan, if you're out there, you and me could try this conversion thing the other way around. Come join us, as an ally, or even, dare I say, a trans man? It's been pretty great for me. Open offer. Just sayin'.
