Guest post: And who has paid the price?
Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on Look back in horror.
Okay, I’ll see your “look back in horror” and raise you “looking on in horror right now. Just off the top of my head here’s what being “uncritical” of gender has resulted in:
Violent male sex offenders being imprisoned with women in what were and should be female only prisons. The women have no say in this and are forced to submit.
Men being admitted into what were and should be female only rape and domestic violence services. The women have no say in this and are forced to submit.
Men being housed in what were and should be female only hospital wards. The women have no say in this and are forced to submit.
Men and boys competing on what were and should be female only sports teams. The women and girls have no say in this and are forced to submit.
Men invading women’s toilet and changing facilities. The women have no say in this and are forced to submit.
The mutilation and sterilization of children whose minds are insufficiently developed to comprehend the import and gravity of the disastrously life-altering path they’ve been encouraged to take.
The erosion of women’s health care through the erasure of the words “woman” and “women” in the name of “inclusion.” There is no comparable erasure of “man” and “men” in health communications which are equivalent to the campaigns from which all references to women have been excised.
The bullying, intimidation, villification and assault of any and all women who dare to oppose any of the above, or who even questions the validity and coherence of trans ideology.
Trans identified males are not women. Never have been, never will be. Don’t go on about how “marginalized” and “victimized” they are, or how they are at much greater risk of being victims of violence or murder than anyone without some hard statistics to back these claims up. The ability of this oh-so-powerless group of helpless snowflakes to force women to submit to their presence in what had once been and should be female only spaces proves that these protestations of victimhood are lies. Just own up to the fact that you’re defending entitled men. Powerful entitled men. Trans activism has been wildly successful in its recruitment of a startlingly broad range of public and private institutions to advance and enforce their completely unreasonable and dangerous demands. (See the above list from off the top of my head, compiled without leaving this page, and without breaking a mental sweat.) And who has paid the price for this imposition of the will of a tiny minority of men? Women and girls. That’s the real horror. Actual harm, actual violence, actual dismissals, silencings and deplatforming. You don’t have to wait for the hypothetical perspective of some imagined, delusional, “inclusive” future to find faux horrors to boggle your mind as you look back. Open your fucking eyes and look at the horrors noted above. Horrors you are promoting. So yeah, I’m “critical” of gender. Why aren’t you?
I will be 83 years old in May this year; still going strong and with a family history of longevity. I have 2 daughters and one grand-daughter, and so the little shop of horrors in the above list resonates quite strongly with me.
Women who self-identify as men probably pass themselves off as such quite successfully, and probably use male washrooms etc all the time without causing too much of a stir. Not so the other way round, for the majority of those who have a go at it. Their male bodies and build would cause them to stick out like doggies’ proverbials in the normal run-of-the-mill female washroom, dunny, or call-it-what-you-will..
Politicians worldwide should all take note. This trans bullshit is a political movement on course to create an opposite and more than equal-strength reaction against itself; though in the mean time it should do wonders for the sale of trailer-mounted Portaloos, and also campervans and such with their own onboard washrooms and dunnies.
