Tucker Carlson Cured My Gender Dysphoria
I am not really transgender, my sperm count is just too low.
Tucker Carlson has found the cure for gender dysphoria. He can make a cisgender male out of a transgender one by increasing their testosterone. (Wait a minute I tried that and it didn’t work…) He even went further by suggesting that if I tan my testicles I will naturally increase my testosterone level. I tried that one too on a Caribbean beach once and all I got was a sunburn.
I guess if I continued the tanning treatments over time I would probably get testicular cancer. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are the three main treatments for testicular cancer. The first two would definitely reduce my sperm count, but the last would help me achieve my ultimate transition goal of gender confirming surgery.
Thanks, Tucker!
Carlson has entered the same arena of snake oil salesman as Dr. Oz, who is running for office with the support of Donald Trump. They both are successfully broadening their personal wealth with medical quackery and hateful politics.
Where is the FDA in all of this? I guess the multiple pseudo-medical claims by Dr. Oz have kept them too busy to even consider the medical validity of Tucker’s testicle tanning suggestion. Also, who is counting American sperm? That seems to be a job that should be shared by both the Democratic and Republican parties to insure that the count is correct and unbiased. Is that a federal responsibility or should states take on that job? Maybe the US Census Bureau can step in with the FDA? Does sperm counting violate my right to privacy or should it be mandated?
I’m done.
At least I know which rock to look under to find these people.

My writing has three specific goals:
1. Writing is my therapy. I have a very limited outlet for my thoughts so I write to find a way to process the most profound experience in my life. I need to understand and I need to accept myself to move forward.
2. Being transgender, for me, is a very lonely existence and if I can share some of the things that I feel and think as I go through the process of transitioning with others who are transgender and, in some way, lessen their pain and sense of loneliness, then all of this public exposure of my personal thoughts is not a waste.
3. I write to help cisgender people understand that all trans people want is to be simply understood, accepted and treated as a normal person. We are.
