Telegraph column - not even attempting to hide AGP

It’s behind a paywall, will post screenshots in next post

David Thomas is a 60 year old man, who according to his Telegraph column is still living as a man whatever that means. He is transitioning and he is writing about it in his weekly column. In the past he gave us Not Guilty: The Case in Defence of Men which is described as a rebuttal of feminist charges against men. So I think he’s established his misogyny credentials, which raises the question of why he wants to transition to emulate womanhood?

It’s so clear from the above article that it’s sexual arousal. He talks about his growing breasts in a clearly lascivious way. It’s not even gently disguised or denied. The AGP is front and centre in the article.

Yet we’re still not allowed to discuss it. We’re not allowed to point out that many men get off on the idea of being seen as a woman. They talk about it openly but the activists who seek to remove women’s rights shout us down as bigots for daring to raise it.

Those who are still championing the be nice/what harm can it do still seem to deny that it’s a driver. How? When it is this blatant how can it not be openly discussed and the risks/behaviours openly managed or challenged.

But maybe I should accept myself as I am, and have faith that there might yet be a right woman for me."

Perhaps he should trial not being such a big old misogynist?

AnyOldPrion · 07/09/2019 18:05

It's less and less clear what he's trying to do or why he's doing it.

Well I’m not sure what he thought he was trying to do.

But what he’s actually done is quite clear.

Middle aged man sees other men transitioning growing breasts.

Thinks: 🙀 Breasts!

Begins to drool.....

Tells world “I’m a woman now.”

Writes column in newspaper to fund treatment.

Grows sufficiently sized moobs.

Looks down past moobs to biggest erection he’s ever had.

Phones editor from wanking chariot. “Um... I’m a bit busy. This transitioning thing’s all a bit much. Okay if I wind it up now....”

Nah, Lang, I think it’s orgasm anxiety setting in.

As for finding the right woman, I think the real quest is to find the right reflection in the mirror. Which of course a woman could provide. The same as an empty pane of glass could.

LangCleg · 07/09/2019 16:28

Ditto, the operation after that… you know, that one.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Castration anxiety setting in, David?

The purpose of transition has therefore been to recreate myself in a more lovable form. But maybe I should accept myself as I am, and have faith that there might yet be a right woman for me.

Well whatever it is you're hoping "transition" will achieve, mate, it'll certainly not achieve making women more attracted to you.

Datun · 07/09/2019 15:46

I'm not sure exactly how many people will buy the objection to having your cock cut off as being all about the anaesthetic...

ErrolTheDragon · 07/09/2019 15:22

I suppose he might love himself more. (Trying not to remember the stuff from upthread suggesting this).

testing987654321 · 07/09/2019 15:15

It's less and less clear what he's trying to do or why he's doing it.

Having extensive surgery to change yourself doesn't make you more loveable. Learning to express yourself honestly probably would work.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/09/2019 15:09

I’ve made big changes to how I look

Has he?Confused he looks almost the same in the sept 2019 photo as he does in the original byeline pic.

JoyceJeffries · 07/09/2019 14:52

He’s used a lot of words when he could have just said “I love my cock”. It would have saved us all the bother of reading his self absorbed drivel.

Datun · 07/09/2019 13:52

Isn't this the beginning of the binge/purge part of it all?

SingingLily · 07/09/2019 13:47

"But maybe I should accept myself as I am, and have faith that there might yet be a right woman for me."

And yet, just a few weeks ago, he disclosed to his therapist that what he wanted, what he really really wanted, was to have sex "as a woman" with a red-blooded male at which his therapist "sighed" and said words to the effect of, "I wish you'd told me that a lot sooner".

I'm fairly sure there's another Venn diagram needed...

Candidpeel · 07/09/2019 13:38

And the big reveal : "I’ve made big changes to how I look. Is it time to say enough is enough?"

www.telegraph.co.uk/family/life/made-big-changes-look-time-say-enough-enough/

"In my unofficial role as a self-appointed Emeritus Professor of Transology, I came up with a concept a few years ago that I called The O’Brien Point. The OBP describes the point in a person’s transition at which they say, ‘Enough.’

This may come at the very end of the entire process, after every conceivable operation has been undertaken. Or it may come much earlier, when a person stops and says, ‘That’ll do me.’

Perhaps they are content where they are and don’t need to go any further. Or they may have intended to go further, but suddenly recoil, as if walking into an electrified fence, thinking, ‘Ouch! That’s a step too far.’"

He then goes on to say he thinks he's reached his electrified fence

"As today’s new photo of me – and others to follow – demonstrate, there have been big changes. Trouble is, I still have a long way to go. My face needs work: jawline, browline, nose and lips to be precise. And I am scared by the prospect of a six-hour operation on my face and the discomfort that is bound to follow it. Ditto, the operation after that… you know, that one.

The biggest issue of all for me is anaesthesia."

nah mate, seriously I doubt it. You sure its not getting you your cock chopped off? (as Magda would say)

"My experience has been that whether I hide my true nature, or am absolutely out, it’s impossible for me to be known, accepted and loved. I get fleeting glimpses: giddy, delirious joyful snatches of romantic bliss. But the hope of any permanence has always been dashed.

The purpose of transition has therefore been to recreate myself in a more lovable form. But maybe I should accept myself as I am, and have faith that there might yet be a right woman for me."

Hmm Hmm Hmm

Sue, U OK Hun?

birdsdestiny · 24/08/2019 14:09

I ussd to work every BH. On my way to work I drove past this gorgeous pub with a fantastic beer garden, there they all were with their beer in the sun, in the end I had to drive a different way to work. It is hard.

TinselAngel · 24/08/2019 14:01

Who among us has coped well when lumbered with the bank holiday shift?

It's sad when one person isn't invited on a weekend away.

ThePurported · 24/08/2019 13:55

You're right Sue, we should be praising this man who believes that a nice handbag and a pair of very pronounced man boobs will eventually turn him into a woman.
You go first.

LangCleg · 24/08/2019 13:39

Awww. Don't be blue meanies to poor old Sue!

2BthatUnnoticed · 24/08/2019 13:32

(For the benefit of lurkers, there are plenty of positive posts about various TW - see e.g. re Fionne, Miranda, Blaire White, Seven Hex. In fact, some old timers feel some posters are too effusive in praising them!

2BthatUnnoticed · 24/08/2019 13:25

Commenting unfavourably on someone’s actions is not “abusive.”

Do not let the use of emotive, inaccurate descriptors for women (“trashing, attacking, hate, abusive”) distract from the topic at hand - agp.

Whereby men find the thought of being a woman sexually arising. And yes, based on his own account, the author does appear to have it.

No wonder transphobes set such a low bar when it comes to classing one of their own as an intellectual heavyweight. Confused
