JK Rowling claims society is on brink of 'medical scandal' over transgender issues

jkfinn · 2020-07-27T17:39:52+00:00

She added: “The bleak truth is that if and when the scandal does erupt, nobody currently cheering this movement on will be able to credibly claim ‘we couldn’t have known’.”

I think this is one of her strongest statements. (proof she's pushing forward)

jkfinn · 2020-07-25T18:01:50+00:00

They’ll wash their hands of any action targeting Rowling, insisting that it was the act of a mentally deranged individual that they cannot be accountable for--but, whose crime is at least understandable given her “transphobic diatribes” against the perpetually abused transgender community. And, if this strategy works for a demagogue like Trump, who also instigates multiple violent acts against his enemies, why not for this male cult.

jkfinn · 2020-07-08T14:53:03+00:00

I praise J.K. Rowling for standing her ground. She is a hero of our times. She is not transphobic and neither am I. This fight to preserve the free exchange of ideas is worth having; to protect the hard-won rights of women but also to uphold the principles of our free society.

I’m not always on board with Ali, but I am here, and do like her simple and direct statement... aw well as this response from Helen Joyce: “This piece is wonderful. As one of the other women who dares say similar things under my own name in public, I am truly grateful.”

I was choked in a metro area elevator by two drug dealers. When the police checked out my neck for marks, they said they wanted to drive me to the hospital to have it examined. I felt recovered enough to refuse and they thought it serious enough to advise treatment. It's impossible to fathom that choking is now a common form of male sexual pleasure, while the police are out driving choke victims to hospitals.

r/GC was far bigger, far more established, and had more name recognition/prestige in the sense that reddit is to social media what amazon is the online shopping (well, not quite, but...) Also, one developed a certain effective posting rhythm over time which is missed. But this place is, I think, similar enough given its short time span. And in one way it is far superior, as far as this radical is concerned: it disallows down-voting, which means to me, that the twenty or so topics &/or positions I learned to avoid or needed to self-censor, I can speak out on here, and let what I said, stay without the public shaming. This, to me is the opposite of "seediness," or class.

These trans assholes are not only fucking infiltrators but phallic storm troopers. If this doesn’t convince the so-called LGB coalition to give these plundering creeps the boot, then it should be called Male, Inc.

jkfinn · 2020-07-26T19:04:46+00:00

Agreed! This treachery entered in the late 1970s, and has never stopped. I believe it arose because some feminists were just not willing to challenge men on their embedded sexual systems. This was going too far. But many of these critics did so silently, and simply continued with their feminist work, which did not include mention of porn or prostitution. But to others it was an all-out dirty war, with no manner of attack being too vicious and since many were artsy media darlings they got way more coverage than did the targets of their attack... and they received full support from the ACLU and the LGB coalition.

It's a TIF leading the way for the same reason that rapists very often select a female lawyer to defend them. Women's integrity & civility are being exploited to validate questionable or criminal male acts/endeavors, and this in turn serves to divide the female opposition to those same actions and actors.

jkfinn · 2020-07-23T15:30:38+00:00

The "man up" thing exists almost exclusively within the male club... when a woman says it, it's a kind of last daring & risky resort to try to bend a man to get some immediate task or action done and/or to take some responsibility--alas. While “back to the kitchen” is the evolved male’s command to the half evolved female to know her place in the nature of things.

jkfinn · 2020-08-10T15:59:19+00:00

Reactionary bullshit from a known feminist journalist whose articles are often reproduced for discussion on “rad fem” (one has to wonder) sites. I cringe right off the bat by her addressing GC critics as “Ladies” and at her incredibly romanticized view of San Francisco (porn factories, sex positive, & super rich) as a bastion of civil liberties. As I read along (who can finish this supreme whitewash) what comes back to me like a bolt is the pro-sex movement which split the second wave. These women were also known feminists (most in the performance arts and/or journalists etc) and had names like Erika Lust, Annie Sprinkle, Pat(rick) Califia, or their own famed names like Gayle Rubin and Ellen Willis. But here instead of embracing pornographers and pimps, Solnit embraces men as representative women and feminists, praiseworthy gender rebels, and an even as a more oppressed wing of the category “women.”

Proclaim yourself as feelings. You can have a whole life, or lifestyle anyway, based on nothing more than honoring the inner erotic child.

Talk about TiMs being self-obsessed... The first guy uses the whose-the-real-minority lesbians or trans. argument, and answers himself by saying that trans are 200 times fewer in number--and are thus excluded by lesbians. The second guy says trans guys are lesbians, so the lesbians who refuse to date him are "transphobic pieces of shit." And the third guy, the man-splainer, accepts the premise at face value, but is convinced lesbians want their own spaces chiefly to escape "the gross men in dresses."

What's the difference between him and what incels are saying?

That was my thought throughout watching this. According to Match, Inc the amazon of dating sites, 35% of site members never meet another person--and maybe they are the lucky ones. Also, only about 6-7% of Match (itself) are actually paying members and open to meeting. It's all about manipulation and everyone who participates is ripped off in one way or another. Many are furious and bring lawsuits etc. And, of course, a relationship is not a Right (the majority are frustrated in this area of their lives--I mean does this guy even work--it's hard to imagine it)

Planned Parenthood believes everyone deserves high-quality, compassionate health care that’s appropriate for your needs and concerns — no matter your gender identity or sexual orientation. Our health centers provide education, support, and sexual and reproductive health services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex patients.

PP has been referring to pregnant women as pregnant persons for a few years now. And it has no qualms about being a facilitator of the world’s largest, most sexist, and most dangerous cults. (tens of thousands subject to medical experimentation often with irreversible outcomes in the name of self-diagnosed gender transition)

jkfinn · 2020-07-12T14:33:01+00:00

I would like to think that these type of TiM actions and demands would not only kill their image but serve certain half conscious members to rebel or at least peak, but this never seems to occur. Instead they continue to operate and practice the most stark aggression without any sense of danger, or of being perceived as wrong or mentally unbalanced. I used to think that r/GC’s being a public sub was beneficial to peaking even TiMs, and maybe this happened to a few sincere souls among the cult, but I sure wish more of them (even those not peaking) would speak out publicly and condemn actions such as this invasion of rape-crisis centers.

jkfinn · 2020-07-27T14:16:44+00:00

In a rape culture, rape includes animals as stand-ins for females. It’s like prison rape--those men with the most female traits get raped. And what animal is more associated with female (and with witches) than cats, esp kittens. (learned sadism so central to male sex)

What is there about this post? It has more power than any animal abuse comment or article I’ve ever read.

So, if you don’t FEEL totally attuned to your sex, or to your “birth sex,” you’re a DEMIGIRL. Thus, girls are demigirls and boys are also demigirls.

Very convenient. Demigirl girls aren’t really female, but half female so cannot qualify as feminists. And demigirl boys can assume transgender status because aren’t male enough to be boys so must be the “weaker” sex.

This adds up to a lot more trans gals, and a lot more half gals... so a great reduction of real women, and actual feminists.

jkfinn · 2020-08-05T20:09:04+00:00

This may be the real cancel culture. Women are not only supposed to be the fixers in so-called society, but also the fixed in socidety. Rise an inch in good times, shrink in bad times... the incredible shrinking woman, the fixer-up of life and the fixed-in-place by life. But the male internet and its trans troops may be the public face of this ongoing reactionary force you're speaking of--also called the little version of the larger cancel culture.

jkfinn · 2020-08-02T01:44:45+00:00

Sounds like an edict from the Emperor. It’s not only that “women” is verboten, but also “woman.” Most males have a hell of a time saying “women” and many of these have never said it and never will. But “woman” has always been ok even as representing the plural, because not associated with feminism, because feminists refer to each other in the plural as in “we women” or a collective.

TiMs also use the word “Womanhood” and “ladies” frequently because these are safely distant words belonging to another era when women were mere fixtures and far removed in time and place from today’s scary "terfs" and "transphobes."

jkfinn · 2020-08-08T14:49:46+00:00

To the men of the ‘trans woman’ movement, being a woman is a form of slum tourism (also known as ghetto tourism or poverty tourism): members of a more economically and sociopolitically powerful class satisfy morbid curiosity about how the less fortunate live. This allows the more privileged to gain relief from the boredom and rigid expectations of their humdrum lives, as well as from the self-doubts plaguing their sense of worthiness.

It’s really not much different than the West’s view of Islam. It’s called Orientalism, which is a form of colonization and cultural appropriation. It implies both exploitation and tourism or emotional distance from the lives being observed, collected, and raised up as trophies. The mystery of the Orient and Orientals, and plumbing the mystery of women. The eternal woman question, and the eternal Oriental question. Neither ever to be solved, of course.

It doesn’t take much to disappear women, even the most famous ones, because women-as-women are already disappeared. Think of all the once-known women who were buried in unmarked graves, or who died in a welfare hotel. But Woody Allen will always persist as a “pantheon film-maker,” because it takes one hell of a lot more to disappear a male, esp. when he’s one of the renowned ones.

jkfinn · 2020-07-18T15:22:54+00:00

I understand what you're attempting to say about the rise of Trumpsters and transgender, but actually the only resistance to trans in the U.S. is from the right (apart from GC critics). I do believe that liberalism is trans' most potent support system, even though trans is a reactionary cult.

jkfinn · 2020-07-07T15:25:36+00:00

Plague time is probably not the best time to return to real radical feminist orgs, but I’m convinced that’s what’s needed. The first reason this would work is that TiMs would be absolutely excluded--yes, excluded from each & every group. And that in itself would be a basic victory, a turning one’s back on transgender, and one that would initiate & inspire all other oppositional work as in sex trafficking, reproductive tech., prostitution & others. you mention. And it would mean community, connection, real actions in real places, having each others' back, and gaining tangible victories.

jkfinn · 2020-07-21T13:08:21+00:00

Yup, trans wants women to believe that “I am you, and you are me, and we are one together,” but obviously what gender criticism has to say about transgender is that trans is the displacement or colonization of female identity, culture, and history or an end to women and women’s politics.

jkfinn · 2020-07-17T01:23:30+00:00

I could only watch about a quarter of this and not only because of the length but also because of a sense of tension & discomfort... not only between Rogan and Shrirer but between them and the T looming all about them. I mean how many times do you have to excuse yourself for your critique, and pledge your love for trans women. Not only did Shrirer premise all her remarks with this openness of heart for adult TiMs but a few minutes into it had to talk back herself after saying that it’s the adult trans women who are manipulating the youth... oh but only the political ones, not the ones she presumably still loves.

But Rogan himself is such a disturbing inconsistent mix of right and left, of racism and anti-racism, of sexism and anti-sexism, it’s almost impossible, even for someone as amenable (and I assume mostly liberal) and precise as Shrirer, to run his course for like 90 minutes. As important as this, and as important as the fallout might be, I couldn’t really tough it out.

Only small, pathetic males would cite these words in an argumentative sense, or as “toxic.” To me, doing so just points out how literal-minded, close-minded, and opportunistic they are.

This is actually Berns at her best, not at her worst. Here, she’s not bending, she’s not measuring each phrase for its preciseness, not in the least deferring, but rather standing in, holding her own, and delivering a few decisive blows, to boot.

Women have always been the original Other. Feminization, sexualization, demonization (original sin), inferiorization accomplish that. Racism and class-ism are modeled on sexism. Yes, TiMs, by calling women cis are not only confirming Other, but deepening it, while having the balls to appropriate "other" for themselves.

Yes, yes. Edward Said's "Orientalism" should have definitely been required reading for r/GC because every time I tried to fill out Islam's background, and the west's Islamic racism, I was downvoted into the nether regions and always was forced to self-censor.

While stocking a book isn't an endorsement (good grief, that would be a minefield), and we will always take orders for books that aren't in stock, there are more worthy books to put on the shelf – books that don't harm communities and won't make us sad to unpack them,” a spokesperson wrote.

Even Trump wouldn’t stoop to this bullshit. This is the bottom of the pits, and it’s a goddamn bookstore. Has it not heard of literature? Has it never read about book burnings or book censorship? This is absolutely intolerable and should be picketed with noisy bullhorns (scare away the “clientele)

“More worthy books to put on the shelf.” Oh yeah, like romantic novels loaded up with rape & seduction. And best sellers written by those who just graduated from a “How to write a Novel” course at the local YMCA. Or how about all the stupid, robotic self-help and vitamin books that line the shelves. Or if you’re more high brow... your collection of true crime books...

Currently, the definition of "woman" ("adult human female") in particular is frequently upheld by hateful individuals and institutions to exclude trans women from womanhood.... We feel this small change goes a long way to show compassion...

Yeah, like radical feminists have real pull over Google’s dictionary. And only in the 17th century were any women referred to as “womanhood,” let alone the rebel ones. Trans delusion is far past mental derangement, and if it ever needed any “compassion” it could only come from the orderlies in an institution for crackpots. Anyway, when the revolution comes it will just blowup all these fussy details that the trans suits lobby for in strained voices.

jkfinn · 2020-07-29T00:34:31+00:00

One big reason there’s ever so much more kindness, praise, and well-wishes to offer than criticism is because the psychological hugely trumps the political in today’s relativistic culture, which makes pathos a far easier sell. And since trans is a superficial acting job, or con job, it has got the p-r routine perfectly down. We’re very pretty people and we’re very vulnerable people (21 dead) and without even having the downside of being female... and how can we be more worthy? And just stuff your political reality/evidence because in our showy scenario, it’s just seen for its unmistakable cruelty.

"Despite an aggressive smear campaign against those who even question transgender ideology, more and more brave people are refusing to be silenced," he said.

"Even unconventional allies like author J.K. Rowling are finding the collateral damage of transgenderism impossible to ignore. We pray California legislators will continue to see the dangers of condemning children and young adults who struggle with gender dysphoria to a lifetime of sterility and artificial hormones.”

This California Family Council is interesting. It’s pro BLM, and pro gay rights, so from what I can tell, it is nothing like a conservative “ally.” But yeah Scirer’s book will be very useful in terms of legislative victories. And I’m sure she had this in mind when she wrote it.

Gay TiMs and straight TiMs can be compared, but when you add in TiFs, that's a very distinct and separate question. Yes, straight TiMs are worse because they start from a place of maximum social power, and therefore can and do wreck the most damage on, and display the most aggression against, women and feminists.

"The more I think about liberal feminism, the more I realize that it is the opposite of feminism."

At one time, "feminist" mainly assumed "radical feminist." But at the end of the 1970's, the self-named feminist pro-sex movement split the second wave. After that, it was "what kind of feminist are you?" liberal? socialist? pro-sex? And then the liberals feminist began to become what "feminist" meant. So, a kind of reversal, which stands today, at least in terms of numbers and sheer public influence.

jkfinn · 2020-08-03T17:09:48+00:00

jkfinn · 2020-07-15T01:08:47+00:00

In my experience (ex college teach etc) men and some women avoid the word "women." Lots of male students write "woman" but not "women," even when referring to the plural, because "women" to them denotes feminism. Some men--and now many women, call women "ladies," (an address that the 20thc almost unanimously rejected). "females," "girls" or "guys" as in "you'se guys." But men continue to shun the word "women" except when compelled by rare circumstance. (of course, we're leaving the countless list of derogatory epithets for women here)

jkfinn · 2020-08-08T15:15:42+00:00

No way is it hetero women, as opposed to others. All women are subject to this because under male supremacy this is what women are--objects. As the second wave started to falter in the late 1970s, it came to be confused with the "sexual revolution" (the myth of women burning their bras, and being independent brassy and sexual) and then was split by the pro-sex movement which made the myth of the sexed woman revolutionary a reality. There were several known lesbians involved in this assault on the second wave and in the 1990s the s-m movement became almost synonymous with lesbian sex, and a small group of lesbians had to arise to counter male-centered objectifying sexuality (or today called sex-positive).

jkfinn · 2020-07-29T17:53:37+00:00

It’s too bad that the intro to something so political, democratic, and communal has to half-speak in computereze. I have no clue as to what’s being said in this regard and thus have zero input.

Since MtF trans is remarkably silent about the males who assault them, I doubt they'll go after pro-police guys (although it sounds like it was just one protester), but I also think they'll be unable to make the leap to GC critics here, because it's hard to imagine police patriots being influenced by feminists. But anyway this slur chant is what lesbians and gays have typically experienced throughout much of their history.

Slater and Gordon employment lawyer Danielle Parsons said: “It is categorically wrong for a manager or anyone in a position of power to suggest, even politely, for a woman to be more sexually appealing in the workplace.... This is a powerful form of coercion which makes women feel as if they must adhere to the manager’s request and be more visually pleasing to be successful at their job. This is demeaning to women.

It seems like all the headlines of late referring to sexual harassment in the workplace--Washington Redskins, NY Giants etc, has like no impact at all in the equivalent bosses in other businesses. It’s almost like today’s news is old or no news a couple days later when it comes to sexist coverage.

But the real story here is that even working at home (possibly the new normal) is no protection from being viewed as a sex object in your work environment. The bosses have found a way, not only for their women employees to be seen and judged, but also of insisting that their specific attention to dress, makeup &sexiness be understood as a job requirement.

jkfinn · 2020-07-07T01:29:05+00:00

I think one of the reasons this is a topic now is because there is no down voting here, so you can go with what you say without self-censoring (as almost everyone at GC did when it the downs occurred) No more -35 embarrassment next one's name.

The idea of post-feminism works because there are enough popularly known women, whether media celebrities or successful that the vast majority who still occupy the female ghetto get eclipsed. The ten top female job categories remain about the same as was true in the 1950s plus the "empowering" sexualization of girls, plus the new Gender Regime... thus the idea of post-feminism is no more than a p-r stunt, and a joke.

jkfinn · 2020-08-03T17:04:28+00:00

Because of the necessity to invoke biology as a primary argument vs trans, there's been an eclipse of the socially constructed principle that was so central to radical feminism. This is where sex expectations were roundly criticized, esp the feminization and sexualization of women (or gender). To counter this socialization of females by males was, in effect, a form of undermining the false distinctions and differences between men and women, upon which much of women's oppression is based. This goes much further than the concept of non-binary and is far more radical and effective. There can be no non-binary if women are liberated from their marked off, enemy status.

jkfinn · 2020-08-19T19:35:31+00:00

I'm just curious about her aversion to "wife," and you're mentioning the term "propose" a couple times. Was this meant to be an equal relationship? If so, why the "proposal" idea, which I assume means marriage. Is it possible she's opposed to being a "wife" in a marriage? Or that she's opposed to marriage just as millions of straight women are. Also, are you the one assumed to do the “proposing?” Or, could she have also done so all along?

None of this need be answered, of course. That said, the rest does seem to indicate a long relationship lost to the trans cult. Which can probably best be overcome by doubling down on the criticism of trans.--after or during a short or long recovery. And may that period be as brief as possible, because we all know what that’s like.

These racist posts should be removed. One of the primary tenets of radical feminism is opposition to racism---but my having to say this makes me feel like a jerk.

Hers is nothing more than anti-feminist, in-your-face propaganda. The “pro-sex” women leaders who ripped into the second wave, and split it in two, were all big name arts/performance women or feminist writers. Many were lesbians who knew exactly what they doing and who were taking their marching orders directly from the gay men who ran LGB, or were straight women taking their orders from the porn-is-free-speech ACLU.

The whole point of this is the spread outrageous misinformation and put radical feminists on the defensive. And by painting them as anti-prostitute, puritans, anti-sex, man-haters, and practitioners of vanilla sex, they assured the backing of with-it males, the hip, the sexually licensed, the porn business, liberals, sex liberals...

As far as I know, Biden has never promised the VP would be a black woman, but rather indicated that several black and other women of color were good possibilities (maybe there's been an update). I'm sure this outcome was closest during the BLM surge, and may just recede a little if a new news tide arises. But it does seem certain that the Dem VP candidate will be a woman--as promised, which is a breakthrough (yes, with a lot of qualifiers)

And yes, many of my most downvoted posts (under -50) were rather long and relatively complex.

What to eff is “the freedom to perform femininity?” Is this like the freedom to perform in black face, or red face? Is it the freedom to mock women?

What is “toxic masculinity?” Does this imply a sort of exemption card for men who don’t look like Hell’s Angels, but who participate just as fully in male dominance--sometimes as spies and eunuchs within feminism?

What are “femmes?” and “femboys?” Is there any connection at all between them and women? Are they more pro-women and anti-sexist than typical males? Are they “a powerful voice against TRAS?” Or on the contrary, do they represent nothing more than puffery, or a lighter forum of female ridicule?

In this video clipping, there's no doubt that Ben Shapiro is the hero. And that interaction between the pseudo hero and him says it all the about trans "women" as macho males in drag, using velvet speech tones but delivering violent threats which is so pleasing to the libs who look starry eyed and teary eyed at their new superman.

In 1969-1979, the height of the second wave, radical feminism was the default--and it was well defined via principles to commit to. The default now is liberal feminism/stolen trans "feminism" and, more rarely, a partial radical feminism based in a few positions. So now rather than starting with radical feminism, the trick is to peak on everything that is not fully realized, in-person radical feminism, and return to 1970 which will not be the same, but can equally radical, in-person, and committed (to a wide set of similar principles).

I don’t know... radical feminists have been under attack and dismissed by both the left and liberal feminists for being into identity politics and for wallowing in “victimization.” In other words, radical feminists are making things up, endlessly extending categories of female oppression, exaggerating afflictions, and insisting they be heard (in too much detail). The idea being that these women have lost their agency and independence by emphasizing women’s helplessness. But actually the truth is and was much closer to the reverse. Women’s victimization is real and there’s really no other word for it. What can be documented is documented and yet we know that this convincing evidence is, in most cases, just a tiny portion of what we don’t know, but can project. And there’s ample evidence that the women on the other end of this violence are much more likely to be those who deny victimization than those who acknowledge it. After all, it was radical feminists who initiated the marshal arts for women, title ix, physical strength etc ..

I think what you mention did happen on a few threads but r/gc did have many political stripes aboard, and I think radical feminists tend less to respond to calls for advice than the others.

Funny. I watched some coverage of this and laughed too. Here we are in the middle of an epidemic and dotting every healthy practice i, & filed with gravity, and these guys and gals are stuffing themselves with hot dogs. I noticed that the male leaders seemed to be far more physically set, as if creating a strong base (like a runner who gets off to a super quick start) to take on the HUGE task awaiting them, while the women were somehow less into it. (not sure what i just said) Anyway, glad the women did far more poorly because they'll probably live longer.

The reason for "girly girls" is to split off young females from the old, gray, sexless, obsolete ones. When they do this they can call themselves "radical feminists" since they have no idea what it is. So, "femininity" is power, the power of sex appeal, and politics is a bore--and threatening to boot. It's an effective divide-and-conquer strategy employed by the male media. It always works like a charm--except in the early 1970s, perhaps.

Now we know for absolute sure who is behind these reddit bans. There were two forces at work: the anti-racist rallies got reddit to ban white supremacist subs, and under the cover of this move, trans pressure was used to make their frontal attack on gender criticism via lobbying reddit (that is, if they don't already own it)

Yes--damage for sure. And they’re really two distinct groups. TiFs are girls/women who are most often lesbians or who have lesbian tendencies who are only being enticed into trans in the same way lesbians are enticed into LGBTQ--it’s the ready and now established path to “switch genders” or approximate “male.” I think those here who need to show sympathy for transgender persons should start and end with TiFs.

When a question is put with so much defensiveness and deference, how can it be answered except with a certain degree of understanding and calm. I thought the way the question was posed said it all about transgender's male privilege and power... and that the answers could be skipped, whether fair or not.

Catholics have never been subject to dress bans, nor have various Protestant sects like the Amish, Shakers, and Quakers so why should Islamic persons, young or old. It just seems part of the long deep western prejudice toward Islam. I would definitely side with that wing of the Green Party that sees these bans as anti-Islam or racist in origin. (Dress traditions are not the same as those that involve physical mutilations, or those demanding the use of force to exact--there’s just no crying need to intervene with outright bans)

jkfinn · 2020-07-15T19:57:46+00:00

I sense that the number of lesbians that they fear are smaller in numbers than them, and also these lesbians possess far less social power, which is what's most critical politically. So the 200 times less is utterly ridiculous.

Ms. Blume said she recently sold a copy of “And Tango Makes Three,” the 2005 book by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell about two male penguins who hatch an egg and raise the baby together (you’ll find it on the list of challenged picture books) to a man who had just adopted a little girl with his male partner. “That’s my new thrill as a bookseller,” she said, “to put that right book into the hands of someone who appreciates what it’s saying.”

I agree Blume and so many others should have spoken out by now. It seems to often work that way: those who you would think.... are never heard from on an issue. There’s so many silent voices on transgender, esp in the U.S.

jkfinn · 2020-07-03T23:59:01+00:00

Who has ever heard of a fan site that breaks off from their celebrated even to the point of de-linking her website, and yet remains fully existent. Not only can they not understand that their heroine has just made the most courageous stand of her life, but in rejecting her and her biography, don’t even have the nerve to disband their little cliquish industry, clinging instead to her literary output as if, having disowned her, they now own her property.

Well, if radical feminism is what "bans" you, imagine how actual radical feminists feel. You have the majority of women to support you and your thoughts, and radical feminists only have their tiny number of cohorts. To boot, I think this site and Ovarit just like reddit gc before, are mainly liberal feminist (esp Ovarit--check out all their subs--hardly a radical notion on them). One can oppose transgender on many different grounds, many of them having little to do with radical feminism, or you can oppose trans and porn but two issues do not make a radical feminist.

jkfinn · 2020-07-29T01:03:04+00:00

It's all academic in more ways than one. The whole concept of "gifted," "talented," "genius" is individualistic, divisive, and not based much at all in social reality. If I heard someone refer to any radical feminist writer, in these terms, I would cringe. We are all shaped by class, race, sex, personal histories, capitalism, bad/good breaks, illnesses etc etc... not by innate, or inner qualities down deep inside that set us apart.

Postmodernism is excellent for de-constructing and critiquing dominant power relationships and socially constructed inst.s and systems, but it went too far and too deep to the point of collapsing the ground beneath. It’s one thing to see hierarchy operative everywhere, and another to dismiss basic truths, objective criteria, and all certainties. This is the philosophical thought that Queer used to push its extremely relativistic and individualistic sexual views in the academy and out. Subjects (male) were to have full sexual license to enact any sexual expression on demand. And this included the right to sexual identities, the promotion of performative sex, and an expanding list transgressive sex acts centered around sado-masochism. And of course, LGBTQ made it an effective delivery system. It was almost entirely male in membership and its mainstream acceptance was never greater. So, Queer took hold and its first hook-up act was with transgender...

The "b" word is used in different ways, and one is "b" in the sense of being an owned sexy number of a arrogant or macho womanizer. So, I suppose this too is a kind of transgressive excitement fantasized by some MtF trans.

It's not the seeing, it's the unilateral seeing. He eroticizes you and then he looks at you. His seeing has little to do with you, but more to do with what he’s done to you... that is, made you sexual... made you a sex object. So, seeing as a form of possession is what's wrong, not seeing. And most women don't see in this way because they either don't wish to, or do not possesses the power to, except (more rarely) with other women.

When marches & protests cease, women's politics ceases. The Reddit sheeit only happens because this vacuum allows it. 1000 women at their headquarters in San Fran would quickly counter their cockiness. But things should definitely be happening in major cities all over the world over a whole range of grave issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I did read in at least two accounts that he tested xy chromosomes. Also, this is more subjective, but the way he talks about his female wife (is she wife or partner), sure damn sounds like a male and he looks about 10 times more male than she. (and, of course, the matter of his high testosterone levels--which in itself is not proving, but is part of a pattern)

jkfinn · 2020-07-03T13:46:55+00:00

“Remember the Human.” You start with Vague and you end with Fascism. You start with Vague and you end with woman-hate, women banned. You start with “Human” and you end with the exclusion of women as in starting with “he” and ending with the exclusion of “she.” So, “Remember the Human” very explicitly means “Remember the Male.”

Who needs a red flag, when all you gotta do is look at them. Although many bios don't include a picture, I'll bet the vast majority of trans bios do. And what's most convincing to them is most unconvincing to everyone else.

It seems that often "assigned" is used with roles as in a grade school play, and similar to being assigned a desk or a composition. And I now get the impression that "assigned at birth" is used among this age group as something that can serve their rebel or ego instincts, as in refusing a an "assigned sex" is like refusing a role in a play or a seat too close to the window.

Just as no amount of pronouns is okay, so no amount of porn talk is okay. If you don't sense this right away, you will soon grasp that practicing or tolerating either is only confirming trans and porn.

If only half of the surgeries mentioned were performed, the word "danger" would be an understatement--or a replacement of the word "Criminal." And to add to this unparalleled medical crime, is the fact that "gender dysphoria," upon which it's based, is a fraudulent, delusional, and exploitative construct.

I don't have any sense of Ovarit having any male problem--not right now. If anything, it's sometimes overly liberal feminist, and a little on the female ghetto side, esp some of the subs there. Try making a clearly radical feminist thoughtful remark--even as the first comment to a thread on some non GC sub, then check back later and don't be at all surprised if you've received ZERO upvotes. I once got three of these in a row--all to expressed thoughts I expected some discussion around. And it's not that I was the only respondent to any of those threads. It's rather that radical to many there is equivalent to extreme or hurtful or or angry or divisive--all liberal takes in these cases I refer to.

The only thing I've heard about his single mother is that she tried to take out an order of protection for Kyle because he was being bullied at his high school. I think the son just drifted into guns and law enforcement, identifying with local police and perhaps the military (not much difference any more) as a way of asserting himself. Whatever, I'm sure these attacks on the mother are typical misogynist bullshit (based in Freud & company)

Given Jenna Ellis' lengthy assertiveness, I'll bet she's viewed at least a couple gc critiques. She also gives off an assurance and confidence that she is hardly alone in her stance--and that there's a smart world out there rooting her on (unlike in many other positions she has to speak for)

Both "femininity" and "masculinity" are defined by males. However, "Femininity" is a target, not an assignment, meant to paint women as Other. What makes up "masculinity" are merely qualities of both division and unity or how hierarchy is determined within the male identity or male club. "Femininity" is how women are subordinated; "masculinity" is how superiority or dominance is realized at women's expense.

This is a liberal admission, but not a radical one. He makes all his points in the foreground, where he assumes the reader resides. I think what he’s doing is admitting all he can in order to hang on to what’s really essential to him--something he wants no one to question or take from him. But this idea that he can remove himself from the real world and be a woman only for himself is shortsighted. He may be viewed as a dissenter within trans, but within the scope of sexual politics, he is no dissenter, but a rather a proponent of gender. He doesn’t even begin to question gender itself, dysphoria, or his identity presumption, which may not be “I am a woman” but is “I pass as a woman because I feel like one,” any different in the final analysis? Once again the “not all trans men are...”

"Survivor" is to victim what "senior" is to old or what "passing" is to dying. Only worse, because "survivor" is more enforced, and covers up more.

If it’s decided that this is a good form of protest, I would guess that the best way to do it might be in groups and not as individuals. Or perhaps women could occupy men’s rooms to make the point that women have no bathrooms of their own except these seized men’s rooms. Men would then have to use one of the mixed bathrooms.

No, nuttin to do with hormones. It’s called male supremacy, which is totally dependent on female inferiority. Men fight it out among themselves for dividing up this power they gain through forced & socialized female subordination. In other words, since male superiority is based on violence, its weapons are always at hand, less they lose it--or the practice of violence against females (or substitutes for) is how male identity is established.
