In this way, the rise of transgender ideology can be seen as a backlash to the battle for women’s bodily rights. It is an embrace of mind-body dualism. Gender ideology is the same Cartesian narrative, this time flipped on its head in an attempt to subvert women’s mounting opposition to male rule.

Our bodies are not a social construct. To believe that, you’d have to believe that men’s perspectives determine reality. You’d have to believe women are a product of male imagination.

It’s possibly the greatest male reversal, the most sinister projection of all the poisonous projections: that women ourselves exist only in men’s imagination, but the gender stereotypes they created are reality. That gender, their fantasy, is more real to them than actual women.

Men have been defining us in terms of their ideas for thousands of years. But the truth is that we exist independently of men; we always have. We are strong, we are intelligent. Wherever we are allowed to flourish we surpass them, because we work relentlessly.

Men tell us imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We are different and that upsets them.
