Let me tell you, then, Jessie, why I’m a TERF.
See, there’s a man in California who’s doing life for a third strike armed robbery. His first two strikes came from kidnapping young women on two known occasions, and forcing them to fellate him.
Mr. Carroll is a 6’2, 250 lb, fully intact man with a beard. He doesn’t take estrogen or wear women’s clothing. He doesn’t use a woman’s name. Nevertheless, the state of CA agrees with Carroll that he is actually a woman, and he was transferred to a CA women’s prison, where he was given a female cellmate.
He impregnated her.
Technically it was rape, because inmates can’t legally consent, but that didn’t stop the prison officials from giving him another female cellmate. Whom he also raped.
When this victim reported him, he counter-accused. She - all of 5’1 and 120 lbs - went to solitary, and he — 6’2 and 250 pounds — got a third female cellmate.
Whom he also raped.
Mr. Carroll is back in the men’s prison he should never have left, and it only cost three women the injury of being raped for the state to figure that out. You claim to care about poor women — do you care about the incarcerated woman impregnated during her prison term? They’ll take her baby when it’s born, too — so the trauma affects a second generation.
This is not an isolated incident. Incarcerated women are incredibly vulnerable to sexual abuse, even when they aren’t knowingly locked in cells with a convicted male sex offender whom guards know raped his last two cellmates. Oh — and to make matters worse, the judge has decreed that the victims must referred to Mr. Carroll as “she.”
You claim to be a feminist, and yet you have turned your back on perhaps the most vulnerable population of women in the Western world. You claim to be a feminist, yet you abandon other women to suffer at the hands of violent men, brushing aside their pain with a quip about toilets and genitals.
Genitals become extremely important when someone is forcing his way into yours.
Ask me how I know.
