Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

What we (don't) have to put up with ... or how to lose supposed friends...

So I posted a link on facebook to an article in an England newspaper that announced midwives, hospitals, labor and delivery, etc. health practitioners will be forced to change their language to be "gender neutral" which is double speak for male or at the very least making men who 'identify' as women feel affirmed in an 'identity' they can never have.

So no more "breast-feeding", now they are instructed to say "chest-feeding"; no more "mother's milk" but "human's milk".. 

 If any 'human' is reading this in the future, I know you will now get the depth to which a handful of insane white men continue to have power over wombn and girls...if we're successful in standing up and facing down these powerful violent creatures who are passing as 'human'. 

Here is one of the conversations I had with Jacque (in green) who is or now was a sister anti-war comrade but has fallen under the hammer of trans agenda. 

Jacque Waldroup Betz:
Our Gainesville City Commission are reviewing all city rules and making them gender neutral. Today's meeting will include shirtlessness of all... Topless at last! 

Xan Joi: 
Oh great Jacque - wombn are definitely persons now if they can go bare breasted - oh sooooo sorry. forgive my transphobia - wombn can go bare chested now. Misogyny is over! Ding dong the patriarchy has fallen! 

 Xan Joi:
Isn't that 'gender neutral' & don't forget race neutral also for surely if misogyny has ended, so has racism. Anyway didn't we learn 'man', 'we the people', 'he', 'for all' were 'gender' neutral & race neutral? Yeah for the good ole colorblind & gender neutral dayz. What a brilliant idea 

Xan Joi: 
& wow wow wow & double wow. How many decades, how many court cases, how many jail cells, how many meetings, how many arrests hv wombn gone thru to try to get the right to go bare-breasted - AND not get attacked by men deciding this was too much for their "masculinity'? 

Talk about white male power! Just a couple weeks maybe & bingo! We get the right to take off our shirts as we lose the right to be recognized as the ONLY sex that creates life, carries life & gives birth, the right to name our own sex & body parts. Because such naming makes certain men feel unaffirmed & jealous, pointing out the obvious truth of what we have & they're dying to not just have our body parts but to control those of us sooooooooo fortunate to be blessed with what men can never have but have spent centuries, eons prob if the story of adam ('birthed' wombn out of a rib) & zeus (gave birth thru his head) are to be believed to make up for their vicious envy - oh, but that violence against & domination of wombn no longer exists because anyfuckin body can be a wombn. & for damn sure once enuff men are wombn, they will rescue us & make sure they are not caught in male violence. 

Sooooo glad I'm still alive for the next wombn's revolution! 

Jacque Waldroup Betz: 
????? The City of Gainesville is making all laws gender neutral and eliminating all bias in laws -- wtf is wrong with that. I gave shirtlessness as an example. This is with transphobia, race in mind. Just stay angry ... Wtf????? 

Jacque Waldroup Betz: 
If NOTHING pleases you, maybe you just hate everything? 

Xan Joi: 
How the hell can you be 'gender neutral' when sexism exists? It's like the old white narrative of being 'color blind'. It's NOT the answer to ending racism nor misogyny. It IS empowering to the dominant culture & sex. 

You're damn right I'm pissed. You shld be also. 

& you're damn right, sexism, racism, all forms of male violence will NEVER 'please' me. You're certainly right again: I HATE white & male violence. 

But you're wrong about about me hating everything: I LOVE wombn, even strate white wombn! 

Jacque Waldroup Betz: 
We make laws and policy to be race/gender neutral. Hearts and minds may follow. 

First come laws and policies. I am taking this as a positive. 

You can keep hating everyone and everything. I'm seeking friends that WORK for positive change. 

You are a real downer. If you just complain, well, duck off. 

Xan Joi:
Jacque - you really believe that our laws are made to be race and gender 'neutral'? I know you don't want to hear let alone believe me, so I refer you to the book "The Color of Law" Richard Rothstein - 2017!!! 

Our laws and policies can NOT be neutral until there is an even playing field, which surely you can not turn a blind eye or deny that? 

I am not 'just' complaining but I am opening my eyes, researching, dialoguing, critically thinking, and keeping myself well informed in this country of lies, myths, propaganda that brainwashes good people like you to actually 'think' we have ever made 'gender' or race neutral laws in a country that was started and continued to make a land for white people and everything in it to benefit white people, especially white men = and using such violence as genocide, slavery, mass incarceration, deporting refugees, and taking 'sex' out of class without removing the class itself. 

Jacque Waldroup Betz: 
Bye. I just told you Gainesville City is making all laws race/gender neutral. 

You are calling me a liar. 

I am stating a FACT. 

FIRST come laws and policies, then, maybe, hearts and minds. 

FIRST make the laws and policies gender neutral. Read Kendi 

We here are trying. Just keep yelling and arguing. 

I'm done with you. You hate everything -- Bye 

Xan Joi: 
I never called you a liar: I said 'gender neutrality' is a lie as long as racism & sexism exist. 

Read LaTosha Brown, belle hooks, Cori Bush, Nikki Giovanni, Layla Saad, Claudia Rankine, Karen Davies, Robin DiAngelo, Isabel Wilkerson, Isabel Wilkerson, Isabel Wilkerson, Audre Lorde. 

I can go on but first, we are having a consciousness- raising exchange of facts and ideas. I thank you for being willing to talk and I regret you quitting. I'm sad our friendship means so little to you but at least I know where we stand. Big hug Jaque. 

RISE WOMBN RISE 

 That was the end of our conversation as Jacque unfriended me.
