Ignore this important book by Caroline Criado-Perez because she is, always please remember, a TERF. It doesn’t matter how important the book is, what matters is terfitude. Failure to center trans people in everything is worse than genocide. It’s the worst worst thing of all time, bar none.

Also the subject couldn’t possibly be what the author says it is, it has to be a sinister (however invisible) point about trans people.

That will happen because I, Arthur Chu, will do my best to make it happen by trying to alert everyone on Twitter to my claim that CCP is a TERF. Look at all the good I do.

Too late. I just ordered it. Thanks.

And if her general TERFiness has led to bad, incorrect, baseless, and inaccurate conclusions—if there are no inhererent biological differences between men and women (even typing that!)—how do we account for the phenomena discussed in the book?

Ben, another thing. If there aren’t any differences between men and women, then how can trans people be women stuck in a men’s body? Wouldn’t it be the case that they were just who they were?

The problem is, the trans lobbyists do believe there are differences between men and women, they just believe that they can overcome them just by saying so. And they seem to believe those differences are gender, like wearing pink and having long hair in a ponytail (oh, no, Willie Nelson is a woman? I never would have guessed!), are so essential that if you want to do such things, you are by definition woman.

I was watching a play the other night about Alison Bechdel, and at one point in the play, the point was made that it should have been obvious at a young age that she was gay because she didn’t like wearing dresses and barrettes. Can we please stop with the stupid gender performance as a marker of sexuality? Especially in avowed feminists?

I think CCP is talking about an important issue but everything she says about it will be distorted by the fact that she’s a TERF and that’s ultimately harmful to her cause

…Has he even read the book? Who will take my bet that he hasn’t?

Failure to center trans people in everything is worse than genocide. It’s the worst worst thing of all time, bar none.

I’m pretty sure this is how the dinosaurs went extinct. Misgendering wiped them out, the meteor was just a coincidence.

Not to mention that transpeople (let’s be honest it’s transwomen here) have unique medical needs all their own which are not in any way helped by pretending they’re a different sex than they are when they check in at the registration desk…
