Some in the real world honestly don't know the issue here. They don't even understand what an "opinion" is from stating a material FACT. It isn't "opinions" that are being censored by these deranged people and their handmaidens. It is FACT that is being suppressed because of "hurt feelings" by the transvestites and crossdressers who make up the "transgender" community. It is vile woman-hatred that is being exercised here against Rowling and others. Unlike most others, Rowling is basically untouchable because of her wealth and fame.
Rowling's view is like supporting the existence of gravity, like Galileo recognizing the Earth revolves around the sun, yet she is going through her own inquisition for daring to have a "thought crime."
The political left is so poisoned with queer theory/postmodernist horseshit, I don't know if it could ever recover. The men have always despised women, at least from the sixties, as can be seen in this video clip from YouTube:
Women exist for fucking and childbearing; they are good for nothing else in the minds of these women-haters.
We’re living through the most misogynistic period I’ve experienced. Back in the 80s, I imagined that my future daughters, should I have any, would have it far better than I ever did, but between the backlash against feminism and a porn-saturated online culture, I believe things have got significantly worse for girls. Never have I seen women denigrated and dehumanised to the extent they are now. From the leader of the free world’s long history of sexual assault accusations and his proud boast of ‘grabbing them by the pussy’, to the incel (‘involuntarily celibate’) movement that rages against women who won’t give them sex, to the trans activists who declare that TERFs need punching and re-educating, men across the political spectrum seem to agree: women are asking for trouble. Everywhere, women are being told to shut up and sit down, or else.
I’ve read all the arguments about femaleness not residing in the sexed body, and the assertions that biological women don’t have common experiences, and I find them, too, deeply misogynistic and regressive. It’s also clear that one of the objectives of denying the importance of sex is to erode what some seem to see as the cruelly segregationist idea of women having their own biological realities or – just as threatening – unifying realities that make them a cohesive political class. The hundreds of emails I’ve received in the last few days prove this erosion concerns many others just as much. It isn’t enough for women to be trans allies. Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves.
But, as many women have said before me, ‘woman’ is not a costume. ‘Woman’ is not an idea in a man’s head. ‘Woman’ is not a pink brain, a liking for Jimmy Choos or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive. Moreover, the ‘inclusive’ language that calls female people ‘menstruators’ and ‘people with vulvas’ strikes many women as dehumanising and demeaning. I understand why trans activists consider this language to be appropriate and kind, but for those of us who’ve had degrading slurs spat at us by violent men, it’s not neutral, it’s hostile and alienating.
Amen.
She is a little too deferential to the trans mob, and I wouldn't be, and women should never be called "natal women," either, but it is a good piece overall.
