There was a case of an older man who was hospitalized for advancing dementia. He flipped out when he was there because he ended up forgetting the part of his life where he had decided to pretend to be a woman for a number of years. He thought that his caregivers had secretly given him breast implants and snipped off his dick without his knowledge. Even his family couldn’t trigger the memory that he had done this to himself. He reverted to knowing that he was male and he couldn’t stand the body modifications he had done. So now he will spend the rest of his days living in fear of his caretakers “doing” more things to him while he sleeps.

I just saw something on this, but I just glanced at it - something like how nursing homes are preparing for transgenders who don't remember they transitioned. Might have been from the BBC?

I read about this case last year.

They’re going to need some strong sedatives and people to control this kind of male rage in their preparations. I hope female workers aren’t subjected to the TIM violence.

The same sadistic bozo, California state senator, Scott Wiener (who calls himself the lgbT senator) responsible for the California law that allows men in women's prisons, got a law passed a few years ago that allows men in California women's nursing home facilities.

So a woman suffering from dementia, who had very likely been sexually assaulted, if not raped, in her past, could very suddenly be subjected to the presence of a male in a space in which she should feel safe.

Or a TiM suffering from dementia could be placed into the women's facilities and rage, because he's forgotten he's a "woman."

Scott Wiener's law also made it illegal for a carer to repeatedly "misgender" with a punishment of a year in jail and (or?) a $1000 fine.

I fucking HATE the California state legislature for these laws. I hate the Democrats in the California state legislature.

I hope that Scott Wiener, his co-conspirator (and lesbian) Toni Atkins, and every Democrat who voted for these laws (I don't think any Republicans did) gets locked in a room forever with some of the TiMs they are responsible for transferring to women's prisons. After all, every trans-identified man is harmless, according to them. Let them prove it with their lives.

Wow. All I can say to that is JFFFC. What a total POS.

Totally onboard with your idea of locking all of those people up in a room with TIMs. They should be forced to work in care facilities with TIMs for at least a year too.

There's a GC twitter user who claims that in Oregon or Washington (can't remember which) TiMs are working as aides in women's nursing home facilities as if they are women. What an insult to elderly women, who deserve dignity, privacy and safety in their last years.

JFC once again.

There's a been a big push for this to happen for a number of years, led by a organization in the midwest called the Transgender Aging Network or TAN, founded & headed by biologically female person who used to be a lesbian.

One senior care facility said:

“As I am only part-time in each gender, I am worried that I will be in some situation that will force me to be considered totally masculine... like being assigned to ‘the boy’s room,’ meaning exile from femininity.”

More generally:

TAN employees regularly host workshops and trainings on transgender aging issues for health-care professionals, elder-care providers, and national aging organizations. The most common questions, she said, are ones about segregated living spaces: “People want to know, ‘What gender roommate do I give [a transgender senior]?,’ ‘What bathroom do they use?’,” she said. “There’s still a basic lack of understanding of how gender identity trumps biological sex, and that people should have access to facilities that match their gender identity.”

The roommate question, in particular, can be fraught with complications. Brett [a 69 year-old TIF who has spent most of his/her life in institutions] recently experienced what life might be like for him in a long-term care facility when he checked in for a temporary stay in a St. Paul nursing home to recover from a back injury. After a week in a single room, he said, he was assigned a male roommate—but he worried that a roommate of either gender would soon discover that he was transgender, a fact he didn’t want to be publicized.

"A female would have a problem with me, and I’d have a problem with a male,” he said. “I wouldn’t want him to know about me … And with the gossip in nursing homes, that secret would last about a week.”

Rather than take a roommate, Brett left the nursing home and went to stay with his daughter, who took over caring for him as he recovered.

Bet Brett's daughter was thrilled to have her mother who is now pretending to be a man moving in with her & demanding care & catering.

This made me laugh until I read your other comment. Those poor caretakers shouldn't have to deal with his shit.

Their entitlement always has the most negative effects on women.
