Transgender ideology is being debated and discussed in legislatures. If you value material reality you need to get involved and show up and participate otherwise this bullshit will get even more of a foothold in public institutions.
So brutal. Let’s erase females from society in the name of ‘trans inclusivity’. Absolutely not. We will use terms that accurately describe the reality we all share.
Where we are…
One of the constant threads that runs through the discourse (as it were) around trans gender ideology/queer theory/self-id is the remarkable degree of ignorance surrounding the positions people who oppose gender ideology actually hold.
Most of the time rather than acknowledging that there is a cogent position to beheld regarding the rights, boundaries, and space of women (adult human females) in our society pro-female rights commentators are simply written off as ‘bigots’, ‘nazis’, or just ‘transphobic’. This labeling is done without ever getting to the actual arguments and positions pro-female rights commentators actually have.
To help remedy this situation, here is Ms.Keen presenting her views and what she hopes to accomplish.
The New York Times has a great opinion piece on the wrongful demonization of JK Rowling. Her crime? Standing up for the rights of women.
“This campaign against Rowling is as dangerous as it is absurd. The brutal stabbing of Salman Rushdie last summer is a forceful reminder of what can happen when writers are demonized. And in Rowling’s case, the characterization of her as a transphobe doesn’t square with her actual views.So why would anyone accuse her of transphobia? Surely, Rowling must have played some part, you might think.The answer is straightforward: Because she has asserted the right to spaces for biological women only, such as domestic abuse shelters and sex-segregated prisons. Because she has insisted that when it comes to determining a person’s legal gender status, self-declared gender identity is insufficient. Because she has expressed skepticism about phrases like “people who menstruate” in reference to biological women. Because she has defended herself and, far more important, supported others, including detransitioners and feminist scholars, who have come under attack from trans activists. And because she followed on Twitter and praised some of the work of Magdalen Berns, a lesbian feminist who had made incendiary comments about transgender people.
You might disagree — perhaps strongly — with Rowling’s views and actions here. You may believe that the prevalence of violence against transgender people means that airing any views contrary to those of vocal trans activists will aggravate animus toward a vulnerable population.But nothing Rowling has said qualifies as transphobic. She is not disputing the existence of gender dysphoria. She has never voiced opposition to allowing people to transition under evidence-based therapeutic and medical care. She is not denying transgender people equal pay or housing. There is no evidence that she is putting trans people “in danger,” as has been claimed, nor is she denying their right to exist.Take it from one of her former critics. E.J. Rosetta, a journalist who once denounced Rowling for her supposed transphobia, was commissioned last year to write an article called “20 Transphobic J.K. Rowling Quotes We’re Done With.” After 12 weeks of reporting and reading, Rosetta wrote, “I’ve not found a single truly transphobic message.” On Twitter she declared, “You’re burning the wrong witch.”
The forced birth brigade has won a major victory against women and their rights with the repeal of Roe vs Wade. Surprisingly much of the woke world has magically remembered what a woman is and how sex based oppression works in our society. Please also note identifying as a man and demanding your reproductive healthcare isn’t a viable strategy because, as based feminist women have been saying since the beginning, it is impossible to ‘identify’ into or out of your sex class.
Of course, when it comes to making the rules, progressive men think that it is completely okay to put male sex offenders in female prisons because of male gender feelings. It is heartbreaking, yet unsurprising, to see how little male politicians and their progressive allies value women and their safety.
It all comes down to the safety of women in society. Women will get abortions regardless of their legality – now the accessible safe options will be removed for many women in the US. Women will die because of lack of access to reproductive healthcare.
What will the progressive side do about this tragedy? Probably close to fuck all because they cannot even define what a woman is. The mainstream Left dropped the ball, embracing divisively specious gender ideology instead of defending the rights, boundaries, and spaces of females in society. So instead of fighting against the reactionary Right we had to fight viscous internecine battles over intrinsically stupid issues like gender self identification. Way to go our team!
Perhaps it is a clarifying moment though where women can plainly see the issues that face them and choose to fight for and defend their place in society. Those who want to embrace the post modern queer theory bullshite can go off to their woolly debates and whinge-circles of who is in the most oppressed. With the idiot chaff intersectionally faffing about, the adult women and men in the room can get down to the real work of restoring female autonomy and boundaries in our society.
