I’m obviously I’m now on the path towards womanhood.

Its also obvious that these days I’m on a different path politically then folk on these forums.

I’ve decided to no longer post on these forums this has more to do with my gender transition then my politics.

I’ll keep contact with Gard & Furb as I consider them both friends but if anybody else want to keep in touch with what I’m up to then you can follow my journal http://www.sophiabotha.net/.

Goodbye

Ziggy,

I'll be the first to admit that I can't fathom the choice you are about to make (have made, or are making).  But, of course, it doesn't really matter what I think.  I hope I wasn't one of those off-putting holier than thou anarchists.  I don't think I was.  I always enjoyed reading your commentary.  I still consider you to be in the libertarian orbit, albeit it on the outer edge.  Good luck.  I hope you find what you're looking for.

Relinquish liberty for the purposes of defense in an emergency?
Why? It would seem that in an emergency, of all times, one needs
his greatest strength. So if liberty is strength and slavery is weakness,
liberty is a necessity rather than a luxury, and we can ill afford
to be without it—least of all during an emergency.

LS you're okay & I hope you follow my blog.

 

I'm just more comfortable amongst liberals & lefties, its where I came from & its where I feel most comfortable.

 

Sure i'm more libertarian on many issues then your typical lefty, but I do believe in the need for social justice, I see the need for it everyday where i happen to live.

 

The last straw wasn't ian 7 his chums but finding out that various FSP participants were prepared to consort with anti Semites, homophobes & other bigots.

 

Somebody once joked of me that I'm indeed an extremist...extremely moderate. Its true I'm moderate, I find anarchism, libertarianism, whatever you might want to call it far too extreme as well as cynical & often hateful.

Yo!

Been pretty crazy busy here, man, but as always, you get best wishes from the G-man. Just be true to your principles, kimosabe and deliberative in decisions.

G!

I will be missing Ziggy's posts here on LibertyConspiracy.com.  I plan on following Sophia's posts and hope to continue to communicate with her.

Be seeing you Ziggy!  Thanks for being a part of the conspiracy.
