No, I Am Not in the Same "Community" as a Sadistic Fetishist
No, I Am Not in the Same "Community" as a Sadistic Fetishist
Not even if he likes to wear women's underwear
Earlier this month, Smiths Station, Alabama mayor and preacher Fred L. “Bubba” Copeland committed suicide after his fetishistic online activities were discovered. If you’ve only heard about this story from left-leaning media and commentators, you’ve likely come away with the idea that Copeland was outed as “transgender” and that the resulting hatred caused him to take such drastic action.
The spin has been unreal.
No, this wasn’t all about just some humorous pictures taken with his wife, as Copeland told his congregation.
On his Tumblr account, Copeland posted transgender fetish content, promoting the use of feminizing hormones for men who wish to “become [a] whore.” The theme of “bimbofication” extended throughout his online persona, with Copeland expressing arousal and enjoyment at the thought of being reduced to a feminine sexual object for male use.
Copeland’s fictional exploits took a dark turn in 2021, when he published “Dangerous Obsession.” In the story, Copeland describes becoming obsessed with a local business owner, who he ultimately murders to assume her identity. The woman murdered in the story is a real individual who lives in Copeland’s community.
In a subsequent story, Reduxx also discovered that Copeland had shared the names and photos of local women on pornography sites.
So, no, he wasn’t, as a headline in the Advocate claimed, simply “outed as a transgender woman.”
But I wouldn’t be writing about this if that’s all that bothered me about this story.
What has been setting my teeth on edge ever since it broke is the relentless insistence that what happened here is an example of deadly “Anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.”
For starters, Copeland and his sadistic fetishes and fantasies had nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuality. His desire to be reduced to an object of male sexual use is a perfect example of pseudobisexuality—when a heterosexual, autogynephilic man is aroused at the idea of being a woman. Often, as in Copeland’s case, part of the thrill is the perceived humiliation and degradation of the female role in a sexual encounter (hence the frequent references to being a “whore” and a “bimbo”).
Neither did Copeland even claim to identify as transgender. He said that dressing up as a woman was a “hobby” he did to “relieve stress.” (Funny how being a woman is often just a fun, stress-relieving hobby for these fetishistic men. It’s not like we’re actual human beings or anything). “I’m not medically transitioning,” he also said. “It’s just a bit of a character.”
You’d think that trans-identified people would also be livid that such a man is being lumped in with them under our disaster of a force-teamed acronym, but many trans activists have gone right along with the mainstream spin.
That’s because the entire LGBTQ+ acronym (or 2SLGBTQIA+, if you’re Canadian), can be boiled down to Q, for queer, as in queer theory, as in any type of sexually deviant behavior makes you an oppressed minority. This provides the perfect cover for sexual sadists.
If someone is any flavor of “queer,” even if their claim to queerness is an interest in writing snuff erotica, people like liberal blogger and feminist Amanda Marcotte will go to bat for them.
In a piece for Salon, Marcotte repeatedly claims that “MAGA nation” goes after “random” queer and gender non-conforming people so that they can be abused, “for no other reason than who they are.”
This is what she is claiming happened to Copeland—that he was just a “random” victim of MAGA/LibsofTikTok hatred for no other reason than that he was a “transgender curvy girl.”
Isn’t it incredible that, as a fairly gender non-conforming lesbian, I have never feared that I would end up posted to LibsofTikTok? Maybe it’s because I don’t make videos bragging about how I groom children into the queer cult or crying about how people can’t tell by my short haircut that I am trying to present as a man or that I insist on special pronouns.
If something can rightly be called “anti-LGBT” rhetoric, it’s the constant attempt by these progressive zealots to force team people like me with people like Copeland into one “community.”
My same-sex attraction has nothing to do with his fetishes. In fact, there is hardly a group of people I have less sexually in common with than men like Copeland. I even feel a certain sense of camaraderie with regular heterosexual men who also find women sexually attractive. But that camaraderie is lost for those heterosexual men who find being a woman to be sexually arousing, and any small shred is utterly obliterated for those who express that desire through degradation and humiliation, not to mention murder fantasies.
As much as I hate the acronym, I do feel a sense of connection with my fellow same-sex attracted men and women, no matter what their ideological outlook is and even if they identify as trans. I’m enraged on behalf of all of us that we are being used to shield men like this—that under the guise of protecting people like us, Copeland has received highly sympathetic news coverage that blatantly lied about the situation. This is not the first time it has happened, and it won’t be the last.
But for all our sakes we need to push back hard against it or we will eventually be the ones taking the fall.

The term "community" as it is used in progressive and woke circles today is a political fiction. It is premised on the identitarian falsehood that race, ethnicity, gender identity or queerness trump every other characteristic a person might possess. People who belong to the same identity group are assumed to share a particular political leaning and the values, attitudes and beliefs that go along with it.
The fiction's greatest utility lies in vesting leftist activists with unearned and illegitimate political power to speak for people who have likely never heard of them and who would probably never give them their vote. In turn, progressive politicians go along with the fiction and use their legislative and executive powers to create programs or provide other benefits to the "______ (fill in the blank) community."
That could well be one of the reasons elected officials and local governments are all in on queer and trans now while largely ignoring their lesbian, gay and bisexual constituents. In the worst-case scenario, which is not uncommon, "queers" have displaced gays, lesbians and bisexuals both in the lexicon and in progressive culture if not the progressive imaginary.
By the way, has anyone ever heard a left-of-center activist refer to "the White community"?
“P” as in Poseur.
What’s amusing as a gay man is that it’s so easy to “out” fake gays. In remembrance of the late great Reverend Boyd McDonald (a Harvard-educated pornographer, of “Straight To Hell” fame, look it up dare you) when you encounter an annoying male gay-manqué “2SLGBTQIA+” person, just ask them as tastelessly and archly as possible: when they give blowjobs if they are annoyed when their trick won’t allow them to use their hands. Almost all gay and bi men will smile, or guffaw and likely talk at length about the pluses and minuses of a hands-free trick.
Heterosexual men will often stutter and hem and haw. In my experience almost all “2SLGBTQIA+” men are actually heterosexual, and would collapse at the thought of actually having sex with a man. Personally, I respect no boundaries with “2SLGBTQIA+” and find publicly outing them as straight enormously entertaining, but then I’m old school - I think that calling yourself gay or bi means you are a man who has sex with men, and anything else being a poseur.
“P2SLGBTQIA+”
My instincts tell me that it’s also true for women; feminists had such a hard time with Lesbians, and god forbid the Lesbian was a butch into Leather. Kisses to Gayle Rubin.
