How come trans women back in the day knew they were not biological women?

[@raindavisz]

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.

Eddie Murphy is well known for dating Porsche a transgender this was during the same time he was dating Nicole and denied their first baby.

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. Glad that is now common knowledge

[@9Mountains9]

Yes but these women keep repeatedly being gay for pay and getting upset about being a secret. When you agree to be the mistress of a man especially if he’s famous or married you have to accept it and just leave those kind of men alone. Trans women are not taking accountability to their agreement to be sex workers and being hidden kept women and DOLLS, men want DOLLS because they are unable to get pregnant or gain weight from pregnancy and stay beautiful because they aren’t real women and have to keep the image up in order to appear as a woman because you’re a man. The delusion be ones concerning when they try to actually try to be a real woman and grow this insane almost jealousy that they refuse to admit until they slip up and try getting sexual reassignment surgery only to realize yes now you have the vagina but you cannot give birth out of this artificial organ. Be trans and enjoy being trans. Enjoy the money but understand that majority of these men just enjoy the sex and that they can’t get pregnant. Birth control causes a lot of side effects and even mental health problems in a lot of women and childbirth sometimes takes a toll on women so they do often seek sexual services from trans women sex workers or sex workers so that they do end up hurting their wife if they choose to be with a civilian woman and have illegitimate children and lose their family from an affair. If you join sex work you have to understand that you need to stay quiet about whatever you choose to be involved in. Men need to make sex workers sign NDA’s so that stories like this dont happen because yes he’s wrong for mistreating her but she is wrong for trying to out his sexuality knowing damn well that whatever may have happened between them should’ve stayed private because she is providing a sexual service.

I don’t promote or support homosexuality (same as I don’t support/promote murder, promiscuity, or any of our human sins); however, I can DEFINITELY respect this person for their 100% honesty. He is NOT telling people he’s a “woman”, hiding his born identity, or fighting for rights to be treated as a natural woman, unlike today’s trans community members, who often cry to compete against women in every area of life (including birth & periods🙄), to the point where real women had to have a new title- Cis women🤦🏽‍♀️. He’s 100% correct about the people who run the world all being of that same world of homosexuality & sexual deviancy. There is a reason for that though- sexual perversion is a sure way for Satan to win us over to his dark kingdom. Secret lifestyles of sexual deviancy of ALL types keep us in the dark, when God wants us living pure, righteous, & in the light of His word. In Biblical times, sexual deviancy/perversion & unjustified murder were the 2 primary sins for most people from the OT to the NT. I thank God He saved me from a sexually immoral lifestyle I lived for so long. I pray many people (especially of that community) come out of that lifestyle, repent, & seek our Lord & Savior.

I walked the Balls in tne 90's. Knew many on the scene. Beautiful people that welcomed me, non-trans, as they usually had 1 female-by-birth in their Houses. Eddie was known to have those secret desires (as did/do other celebrities and politicians, etc.). He was definitely responsible for that 'accident' that causedvthe demise of a trans perdon. Down-low guy, but so many are aware. Eddie spends his life pretending to be someone he isn't. I said what I said. Anyway, Octavia was beautiful, inside out. 🙏🏽🎉❤

[@BlackGirlUnsolved]

You do know a majority of most men all they care about is sex. Woman cannot have sex with random partners like men, unless they’ve sadly been in certain circumstances. If eddie murphy like other celebrities paid services to trans because that is their job, then why mess up your bag outing them? If you watched pose, look at how once Elektra got bottom surgery, her high expensive male client cut her off and found someone different. You need to look into the shadow side of males. If i was a trans escort, i’d make my money and mind my business.

[@jadebel7006]

If u think of Eddie as 'down low' n therefore consider yourself a man.. then look n act like a man instead of embarrassing the rest of us

[@mwiggins0014]

Thats why he got all those kids. Many DL men uses that as a disguise, to make then seem hetro. IMO

Asa young girl I always said Eddie is not into women and if he is into women he likes big women. He partnered with Nicole for his image. Fast forward to all these Hollyweird stories including Johnny Gill living with Eddie as his "roommate."

[@erikawright8134]

​​​@@RahYisrael99It's funny because when Tracy Edmonds married him, she said Babyface warned her not to marry him. I wonder why? They divorced quickly. Nicole was just a high priced beard which is why he paid her 1 million for each child. It's got to be a miserable life for man to constantly live in secret and not live his truth.

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 ❤

[@abasket9536]

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

[@JuJuForREAL]

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!
