Conscious decision to place this on the 1st day of Pride month….

There are so many Whatever “Months” and Whatever “Days Of” Something throughout the year that any feminist pushback against trans hegemony and colonialism is going to be deemed “too close” to some Sacred, Appropriated Calendrical Stretch of Time. So basically it’s perpetually “Shut up and Obey All Year Long” Day.

And again, thanks for reiterating the fact that if women defending and asserting their sex-based rights is assumed to be nothing but “anti trans” activism, we can safely assume that any efforts to “extend” trans “rights”, and “equality”, are by definition anti woman. Also, your forced teaming is showing, because the simple statement of fact that woman are adult human females has no impact whatsoever on lesbians, gays, and bisexual people. This statement is not a threat to anyone. It only puts a crimp in the desire of trans identified males to violate women’s boundaries and appropriate women’s spaces. Those who claim it is any kind of threat, insult, or provocation, are in fact threatening, insulting, and provoking women. TiMs wouldn’t feel “targeted” or singled out or uncomfortable by this statement of fact if they were not already guilty of acting in bad faith. What they want and demand is only available through the abolition of proper, standard safeguarding procedures around women’s spaces, and the punishment of those women who say No to any such stripping of their rights.

The swift removal of these symbols of resistance shows how frightened trans activists are of any kind of resistance, of any show of dissent from the monolithic facade of officially enforced Corporate and Civic Happy Rainbow LGBT Solidarity (Or Else), that is expected of the conquered, occupied populace. Allowing the prolonged display of any signs of opposition to imposed trans orthodoxy is proof of a recalcitrant refusal to accept what has been decreed, and dangerous evidence of unacceptable dissatifaction amongst what was supposed to be a safely cowed, conforming “community”. Such shows of independent thought, and outright rejection of demands for obedience and compliance, are an unacceptable sign of transactivism’s inability to win the hearts and minds of everybody, and puts the lie to the Official Story that there is NO CONFLICT between trans “rights” and women’s rights. The angry response is like that of an abusive parent, who insists that everyone under their control must swear to the “fact,” and maintain at all costs, the fiction that theirs is One Big Happy Family, bruises and PTSD be damned.
