Bam, that’s Julie Bindel thrown under the bus to make way for a man who identifies as a woman.
Imagine a bookstore doing this to, say, Isabel Wilkerson or Ta-Nehisi Coates to make way for a white person who identifies as black.
It wouldn’t happen. It wouldn’t happen, and the white person would be excoriated and chastised.
Why is it ok to do it to feminist women?
Feminist women are so last century. The new AGP models are so shiny and exciting. Just look at that delicate, painted hand and the head tilt! And they don’t bang on and on about depressing stuff like equal pay, abortion rights, FGM, and rape. I mean jeez, what a downer! Not a good look! You can’t hide those with glitter and eyeliner! Lighten up girls! Get a yourself a nice gold lamé handbag! Sit down, and leave the womaning to Woman 2.0! She’s so much less demanding of actual change, so much easier to get along with, so much more agreeable, as long as you say the magic words. You know what they are. Repeat after me: Trans Women Are Women! TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN!
There, that was easy, wasn’t it! You may now resume your regularly scheduled patriarchy.
Establishments like this may find themselves with a shrinking cashflow if they rely soley on Woke Twiiter for their clientel. It may be loud and look widespread, but it’s probably not as big a market as they think it is.
I have a hope that the sheer vicious aggressiveness of the trans lobby will prove to be its undoing. How long will normal people just meekly accept it?
Well so far it’s been quite a long time, at least from our perspective.
And since a lot of the young Wokeverse thinks they should get their reads for free, while us older GCFs are willing to pay for it, they might strap themselves worse than they thought. It’s never a good business model to alienate the paying customers while making unpaying parasitic hangers-on happy.
Not that I equate right or morality with buying power; I certainly don’t. It’s just an ironic observation.
The classic ‘fingers over the Adam’s apple’ pose. It is to laugh.
