How many of you are becoming increasingly “radicalized” when it comes to #GenderIdeology? I know I am. If you are finding yourself setting down a harder line than before, why?
When I peaked (the first time), I was still very concerned about not being transphobic. I made a point of distinguishing between males (“transwomen”) and men, and would they/them TIMs so as not to “misgender” anyone. I wanted to stick up for my sex without being prejudiced.
The more I started looking into things, though, the more untenable that became. I began to realize a few home truths, the first being that anything less than full-throated support would be considered “transphobia.” The second was the unfathomable depths of #misogyny, #homophobia (especially lesbophobia) and pathological jealousy that permeate the #trans community.
It’s incredibly difficult to try to maintain a level of empathy and respect for men who see you as nothing more than an NPC, a background character meant only to be mimicked in hyper-sexualized caricature, or to validate and flatter them as they do so.
It’s hard to care when the same people who scream about the rape of TIMs in male prisons flatly refuse to care about - or even acknowledge - that women are now being raped in their stead.
It’s hard to care about the welfare of a community that doesn’t care about the welfare of anyone else.
Nothing - and I do mean nothing - has done more to harden my position against gender ideology than the actions of trans people and their allies.
The gendered slurs, the utter lack of concern for anyone but themselves, the constant talk in #mtf spaces about wanting to be sluts and bitches, whores and nymphos; the way they fetishize the sexual objectification that women must endure for a lifetime - objectification that kills many of us.
There’s the way they want to invade every single thing meant for women - dating apps, lesbian gatherings, hospital wards, all the way down to my little women’s subreddit that has less than 1k subscribers.
Then there was the fury when JKR secretly funded a women-only rape crisis center in a city that already has one - one that is run by a trans person btw - and the threats men made to sneak in as pretend victims and use it anyway, as well as the way rape victims were told that they needed to “reframe [their] trauma” so as not to be afraid around men.
One mustn’t forget the threats of doxxing, rape, torture, and enslavement, the posts about stealing used tampons from women’s bathrooms to masturbate with, the euphoria boner, and the lie that women get aroused simply by putting on a dress or doing our makeup.
There’s also the way that they refuse to even consider fighting for a third space, or a trans unit in every penal system, a refusal that clearly indicates that this isn’t about safety at all, but about shoving their way into every single thing marked “women’s,” the better to live out their autogynephilic fantasies.
These things - and so, so many more - have changed my perspective from wanting to negotiate and figure out how to help both #women and trans-identifying males, to a flat “no men in women’s ANYTHING, and men can solve their own damn problems.”
Thanks to trans activists, I’m no longer willing to compromise. I don’t care if you look like “Blaire” White, I don’t care if you’ve had your penis inverted, and I don’t care if you don’t feel comfortable in men’s spaces because of something you have done to yourself. Take it up with the men who are making you uncomfortable, instead of passing that discomfort onto women.
