Whilst technology companies will point the finger of death at anyone, there is a philosophical reason for the silencing of feminists. This goes right back to the existence of a ghost in the machine at the dawn of the internet. The idea of creating oneself online, on having an existence independent of one’s body is part of the belief system of technologists.

Nerds, star-trekers, and military tech... one hell of a masculine brew... or one hell of an assault on the body as nuisance or enemy. Perfect for transgender with their not-so-hidden agenda of male re-birth and absolute entitled aggression on the women’s body politic.

Great article! Explain so much of what is happening here. I love this quotation:

'Cartesian Dualism, or the notion of a mind/body split is a belief that is central to transgenderism and indeed transhumanism. As such it is no surprise that the father-creators of the online world are so offended by feminists who dare to remind them of their messy, human bodies. '

YES! We are not avatars, we are not machines with upgradeable components, we are living breathing human beings. You can't just swap a few parts around and change reality.
