    • @raindavisz
      @raindavisz 6 месяцев назад +3

      Because they weren't. The notion that you can change your gender is false, and utterly ludicrous. This is common knowledge to most people. Proponents of the pride movement started to fabricate new identies, ideologies, and morals in an attempt to justify and conceal the perversion/ degeneracy that permeates their community. There's no factual foundational basis to modern gender ideology, they just expect you to believe it while propagating fallacies.
      Notice how the goal post changed from "sex and gender are different," to now referring trans women as male to females? Exactly. It's not meant to be consistent or make sense, you're just expected to believe it at face value. It went from "let us live" to forcing everyone to conform to their delusions to validate an identity that they themseleves don't even believe in very quick.
      Their real agenda is dark and predatory, which is why they're targeting the most vulnerable and impressionable demographic to instil their values in ie. children. I'm 19, and the amount of children that are actively being groomed into transitioning is staggering. Not to mention most of these kids are on the spectrum or either neurodivergent, consequently making them even more vulnerable to radical ideologies/echo chambers online. They know what they're doing.
      Honestly, if Octavia was alive today, I don't think he'd approve of what's currently going on. However, I do respect his honesty, perseverance, and ambition while also unapologetically being himself.

Porsche was also dating a New York Knicks basketball player right after. Everybody knew about him loving transgenders.

      Everyone knows? 🤣..
      Then why is eddie the one that actually gave birth? ..
      Some people just blindly believe EVERYTHING that the tv "says"..
      nicole, wore the moonbump fake belly for the idolaters like they all do for that role, when NO real woman wants cameras of any kind around her when pregnant, full hair and make-up, 5 inch heels, etc.. exposing the precious cargo baby onboard belly to the world..
      only the real women get the swollen EVERYTHING.. they don't have a two weeks later after delivery beach body photo shoot ONLY the "famous" male to female "women" seem to pull that off..
      No stretch marks, no saggy nothing, they're somehow different than the vast majority of real women.. 🤔
      eddie, was atleast six months pregnant in the sequel to Coming to America,
      but the idolaters didn't seem to notice..
      eddie, pushed all of children those out.
      mel b is built lean just like these other male to females, NO subcutaneous fat whatsoever!! 🤣😂.. it's amazing!
      The so-called "elite" IDOLS keep their reproductive parts for their posterity, their dynasty, like jay z and beyonce: clearly, jay gave birth because men cannot give birth and beyonce is male; blue looks just like his mom-dad, jay z..
      You'd be pretty hard pressed to find an IDOL, 1 who isn't castrati or reverso..
      It's obvious the secular do not see, its easier to say eddie is gay when she literally has no masculine markers at all, yet the "women" she's associated with ALL HAVE masculine markers, because we cannot change our skeleton
      or our anatomy- they do not lie.
      At best, they can augment, but they cannot say that men and women are interchangeable, anatomically.
      eddie's son-daughters LOOK just like a bunch of little octavias..
      all we gotta do is look and sharpen that spiritual discernment, but idolatry which is witchcraft, IS strong..
      and getting stronger.
      : The idolaters, will "defend" their idols, so they don't even have to defend themselves, now that's what I call some strong qabbalah esotericist juju.. 👀!
      I wonder, if this is just one of the ways in which the devil, old ha'satan,
      hath deceived THE WHOLE WORLD..🤔
      They have sold a boy, for a harlot..

    I lived in LA in the early 90’s. There was a club called Peanuts that had a Trans girl night. I had a friend who was mid-transition and it was from her that I found out about Eddie Murphy, long before it hit the tabloids. All the T-girls knew him. My friend also claimed to have dated Dolph Lundgren (not sure about that one) - it was well known that a whole lot of straight male celebrities were not as straight as they seemed or claimed to be.

I just learned about Octavia a few years ago when I watched Paris Burning and just had to know who is this stunning beauty and is she still living. I was happy to see she made it longer than expected after the movie but sad to see she passed from her complications.

    In Thailand, they call transgendered individuals “the 3rd” sex and they are pretty much respected in their country. I often wonder in America, if we took the male vs. female debate out of it, and just use the term “3rd” sex (which would be transgendered individuals) would there be so much fighting? Anyway, thank you for remembering Octavia’s life in a respectful, kind and loving manner. She was one of the good ones ❤

      I think that would be wonderful but there are a lot of people that are proud for being ignorant. They call it traditional and values but like so many people couldn't be themselves back then either but I really think it will take some time to create the 3rd gender or identity just like it did for gay rights back in the early 2010s

      that’s exactly it. they don’t want their own lane. they want to be lumped together and seen as bio women. THATS where the fighting starts. idgaf how they want to look and dress but you’re not going to tell me you’re the same as me a bio female!

      ​@@JuJuForREAL true I respect gay and transpeople, but after hearing some of them forcing a competition with women I don't think so!
      Women have been through enough we're not gonna fight. They are still men and can fight amongst themselves. Since war and fighting is the male spirit !!
      They aren't women and they never will be women!
      They can have their own bathrooms.
      Men will Fck anyone dead or alive .

    There are plenty in Hollywood that are actress and actors. Also, everyday people. I’ve heard about this story in the 90’s , in the Black Hair Salon gossip. I was younger and I heard a lot gossip from the menz. This is where I heard about Whitney and Robin and other entertainers that people are just finding out about. Eddie M first wife , Nicole looks similar to Octavia. The TV POSE highlighted the ballroom lifestyle.
